This question doesn't make sense..., it fits from high up on your forearm and extends to the lower bicep. just as it shows in the picture.

Measure your forearm at it's largest diameter. Not your bicep! If your between sizes, purchase the larger size. I made the mistake of buying the smaller size and it is too tight for comfort.The product is extremely well made! Hope this helps.

Your forearm is below the elbow, so with your arm hanging down and relaxed, measure an 1-2 inches below your elbow.

Below the elbow is where i was told to measure and that was the correct way to mesure

This works best on an average man's forearm or higher like his bicep. This could be useful for young adults though.

measure around elbow at joint... sizing chart is very accurate so make sure you get an exact measurement

Size of arm sleeve usually refer to dimension of length, diameter of top opening and diameter of bottom opening. Measure your arm length is from bicep to yr wrist, for top opening is diameter of bicep and for bottom opening is diameter of wrist. Check the size chart n get which is suitable for you

I don't think it matters but I just tried it and got different readings from one arm to the other. It is important to have your arm at the level of your heart and not below.

Smallest size avail.You can also "cuff" the top to make sleeve a little shorter up the arm, which will reduce the bicep diameter a little.

You have to go to the maker's website to determine the correct size for you. However, as others have said, it is likely that the upper arm part will not fit as tightly as you wish. I have overcome this by adding another layer to the upper arm with an inexpensive arm band. If I had to do it all over again, I would go one size smaller than the website recommends. This was a very expensive item and I don't think that it is good for serious elbow problems. It only provides moderate support.

I'm sure there are a few places but I always test on the outside of my forearm - I usually don't even feel it! 1,000 times better than finger tip.

Approximately from wrist to couple inches above elbow, again it depends on how long are your limbs.

There are instructions to measure the forearm 4 inches fron the elbow and then there is a chart to reference. They seem to be accurate.

The general rule is that your arms should be at a 90° angle. As another person commented, this may vary depending on whether you are going up hill or down. If you are on a side hill you may set one longer than the other etc. All of that being said, do whatever is most comfortable for you. Everyone is different so try a few heights out and see what you like best. They are easy enough to adjust. Hopefully this helps.

I have always worn LG or XL (6'6" 260 LBs). If you go to www.tommiecopper.com they show how to measure.http://www.tommiecopper.com/product/mens-elbow-compression-sleeveIt looks to me that you measure the circumference of your bicep. The top portion of this sleeve rests on the bicep. The large I have fits securely and doesn't slide. I hope this was helpful??!!

It might fit on your forearm but if you moved it up to your bicep, it will most likely cut off circulation. The elastic is very stiff.

By my ruler, two and one-half inches. It's over nine inches tall too, so might be tall for your elbow.

I bend my arm at the elbow and measure how high the walking stick should be by grasping the walking stick with my hand. It should be not be higher or lower according to what I have been told.

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.
