I am a guy and my size is 4.5" of course right in between medium and large. i know bunching up when doing pullups is a concern. should i use med?

I use a size large. "Bunching" on the grips can be a problem, I would think going to small would be more uncomfortable. The place on the grips your fingers go through can get very tight. If your size ends up too small the grips will be uncomfortable. Also the Velcro that goes around the wrist gives a little bit of variance in the size. Like I said before I would go with a little larger than smaller, that would be my preference.

The grips are leather which will stretch as it wears, i.e use, sweat, chalk. In-between people are recommended to get a size down, in your case a medium. Its easier to move your fingers deeper into the "finger pockets" than move the wrist strap down.

I'm not sure. I'm a girl & maybe I don't have large enough or strong enough hands to grip things & maybe that is why even just the tiny extra space on my hands made them hard for me to use.

I think a Medium will be perfect for you. It actually works for a wide range of weights - 15 - 70 pounds. I hope you like it as much as I do!

I'm 180lbs and have the medium. I would suggest you get the small. It still may slide down with vibration, because the design. It's a great product by the way!

You are on the cusp between medium and large for sizing and based on the nice, snug fit of this brace, I would probably go with the next size up - large. The worst that could happen is you have to return the brace for a medium.

Actually I have only tried one other brand and they worked about the same. They are a little long so if you are a small woman they might be too long for you. I haven't had a problem with bunching or moving around much.

I weigh almost 200 lbs and have a 34" waist, and I have no problem. But if you are wider than the dip-station arms are apart, you can't do pull-ups; you'll get stuck! So if your waist is bigger than about 36 inches, it'll be tight.

You probably couldn't get it up high enough. Go for the one size wrap. I think I also saw some things more specifically for a groin pull.

I am about the same size. I have both the med. and large. The med. is a more snug fit, which I like the best, but for a looser fit, you might like the large the best. They both keep hands warm. I use them both, alternately.

i Have big hands and the medium are not too small. Buy the same size as youre gloves. but remember that they hurt when you lift heavy weights

I just guessed that medium would be the right fit. Pretty much follows other items you would purchase for your size of hand. The supports are not tight. Do not think of them as braces. What I like about them is that I can put on some medicated patches and then slide the supports over the patch. Works we'll.

I have to agree, I'm a 2X and it still has alot of room to be let out more, my wife would be considered a medium and it adjusted to her just fine. You should be good.

If it's a tight fit with traditional wraps I would say go with the medium to be safe. Hope this helps and let me know if you've any other questions.

We bought a small size. My son is skinny and it fitted him well. If the user is of an average height and weight, it would also fit but tight when you apply the strip. If the user will have large thighs, and knees maybe a medium. The Idea is to hold the borne below the knee. Hope this help.

Hi! I'm a 34 waist, usually and I wear a medium. A first time user will experience some discomfort after 4 hours of using with the elastic binding fastened. If he has ever had sciatica, protracted and frequent use with elastic binding could cause flair ups. I suggest relaxing the bind for some period while wearing is an alternative. Good luck!

I have not had any bunching problems and it hugs your knee but also moves with you and unlike other knee brace/sleeve it stays in place and your knee stays cool and dry I hope this helps you as much as it helped me

I have not found this to be a problem; however, I am using them for my sister. The mere fact that you are talking about a male could completely change the answer. I would think that the problem is not in the pull-up but in his anatomy. You may need to make sure he is on his side before falling asleep and that his penis is established into the middle of the pull-up to prevent the sides from getting wet. This is just a suggestion and it depends on what he will allow you to do. As far as absorbancy goes the Tranquility is far superior to the brands you would buy at the store.

Depends on your age, whether you're done growing, and how serious you are about lifting. Sounds like you might be under 18 with a waist that thin, if you are I'd go with the Medium, especially if you're planning to continue lifting.
