How tight do you need to adjust these for them to properly protect your wrist?

Unsustainably tight. You should tighten them right before you set in for the lift and loosen them immediately afterwards. Your wrists should have very limited mobility

Tight enough to keep your wrists from bending. Loose enough to keep your blood circulation from constricting :)

actually it is not all about tightness which is, of course, the main reason, however, you need to adjust it 1/3 inch below your wrist joint edge (line) so that when you bend your wrist outward, it wont limit your angle which helps you use more power than you can actually use without wristband.

It really depends on you, to me I keep it pretty tight when I do heavy lifting - the velcro makes it really to adjust when you workout

My wrist is about 7.5 inches and it leaves indentations but they dont cut off my circulation and they are not too tight that I wouldnt wear them. Even after throwing them in the washing machine and dryer they are fine. I would think they would fit fine on a 6 inch wrist. The biggest thing is read the directions, they are placed slightly above your wrist, and they need to be in the right spot to work correctly. I have had amazing results with these and highly recommend them.

I believe that there is enough stretch with the band fully extended (adjusted). I don't think you will have a problem.

My wrists are also 6" around. They do slide a little with active wrist movement. It may be best to get the lighter ones, which I think are smaller. I use mine on my ankles. They are so comfortable, the others I have hurt to wear very long, but not these.

I don't have them with me right now but I have a larger wrist and am an adult and they fit fine. The others in the group didn't have any trouble either.

My husbands wrist is 7 1/8 inches. I think it might be really really tight and not very comfortable.

If you really have sensitive wrists, you could give a chance to the gloves, otherwise I don't think you will have any issues with it. I don't find it hard on the hands/wrists whatsoever.

What is your wrist diameter? Mine would probably adjust between 6 and 2 1/2 inches. My wrist is 2 3/4 of an inch and adjusts perfectly. You may ask them to make it to your size as to have the knots evenly spaced, why not?

Absolutely! At first they may seem very tight and restrictive as they are designed to protect your hand and wrist when you fall down on asphalt or cement which you do a lot of with street rollerskates but after a while they loosen up and your fingers can move very well but in the beginning they will be very tight.

The armband is quite adjustable. I just adjusted it from my normal fitting to the size around my wrist (7in) and it was still secure.

No, they will fit on a wrist tightly. They are great for making bracelets and necklaces.

My gloves go up 6 inches from my wrist. I have found them to be long enough. Terri

You can adjust it somewhat. However, with a small wrist [like mine also] it will not be tight. But I don't like my bracelets too tight anyway. I was happy with its size.

You should space the cuff a 1/2 inch on the inside the wrist in the proper position.

The maximum wrist size should be 9 inches, if your wrist size is over 9 inches that may be caused the measurement not accurate.

Just barely. I wear them at night and pull the fingers down to cover the end joints. I guess it depends on how long your fingers are. They are wonderfully comfortable and and really reduce swelling in my hands and fingers. Snug but not too tight.

Hi, my wrist are huge! If you have small wrist, you will be fine! It adjust small enough to fit my thumb.
