My waist is 39 1/2"; should I buy a small and an extender? or go for a med. and hope it will fit?

Well my waist is like 30" and I got a small and it is pretty snug so yeah I'd say medium for sure.

I would say go for the medium. My hips measure at 33" to 35" depending on where exactly I measure, the time of month, recent pig outs etc. Since the 35" is at the end of the size small measurements I wondered the same thing. But the small fits me great. I usually wear it on the last set of hooks (it has 3 sets just like a bra does to customize the fit), but sometimes wear it on the middle set. You want it to be snug to keep your firearm secure but not too tight to where you can't wear it comfortably. I'd say go with the medium, try it & then if you need to you can order an extender. Can Can has great customer service, if you find you do need an extender I'm sure they'd be very helpful in getting you fixed up. Enjoy your new holster. I love love love mine. Highly recommend it. Best $ I've spent!

I am 6ft and have a waist of 36'' and weigh 200lbs. I bought the large size and it fits loose but nice. I would get the med. size if I were you large would be way to long. The waist should still fit good. Hope that helps.,

I have a 24 inch waist. I bought the medium. I think you should get the large or even the extra large, if they have it. Definitely the extra large, because there's enough to tighten as much as you need. Good luck!

I am 1 inch shorter than you and my waist is 32. The size I purchased is Small/Medium and was the right size for me. It fits many waist sizes and we are about in the middle.

I have waist 33 and Size Medium fits me best..... I did the mistake once to purchase a Large, because I believed that my pants were a bit 'too' tight.... Big mistake! the Large pants don't compress as well as the Medium size; I am convinced that compression pants should fit very tight otherwise it will detriment its value. Go for Medium mate.

That will be hard for me to answer. I have a 30" waist but I wear this support around my hip/low back area. I have a large just for that reason. They have double Velcro so it will pull nice and tight. These work great for my back!Hope this helps as much as possible.

I would probably try and find something a little smaller. I'm not tall by any means (5' 7'') but it is a bit constrictive. I wear a 29 waist and it fits but I definitely have to tighten it far down the Velcro.

I have a 42" waist and there is room to expand, appears to be quite versatile in the waist department, hope this helps. aloha, mikel

It's kinda long and stretchy...my waist is 28-30 and it fits me. If you want it tight (which I do for back support), you shouldn't have a problem. The Velcro is nice and wide and doesn't slip. If it's not tight enough for you, you can always have a friend or hubby help wrap you up! ;)

i think you should try the extra large. you need i to be a tight fit for it to work.

I wear a 38" Belt, and when fitted there is about 10" of excess belt. The buckle is a friction type double loop so the smaller your waist the more excess belt you will have. It should fit you just fine.

That is why I stated in my review that you should buy two different sizes. They manufactured the elastic bands too short. Hopefully the larger size has bands equivalent to waist size. The other brand I used had longer bands, but they are no longer selling. Next time I am buying a large. For all you out there contemplating a operation, research before you buy. The Hernia Institute in England is a treasure of info. For some reason England is far more advanced than the US, according to the information on their website. The mesh they use in america is not a great idea. It is prone to movement within the body, it is painful for quite some time, and can get infected. I have talked to people who have used this method. Many negative reviews. Any way you look at it, hernia's are a bitch. If I knew a place that had a perfect cure that lasted a lifetime, I would have been there long ago. Next I will see what's available in Canada and France. Somewhere in this world there has to be the right solution................ GOD Bless You All.

I ordered a small and it was to small. I have a 32 waist.I would say go a little larger than what you need. We worked things out and I got a medium which fit me fine.

I'm pretty sure a s/m should fit a 34" waist, I bought the l/xl with a 38 inch waist and I think it would go as small as a 36 inch. But that would be pushing it,any smaller and it would not be tight enough for support. I hope I was able to help, but it's really hard to tell without actually trying the belt on.

I'm 32 as well n I bought medium. If u want a very tight fit, go small. Medium can give u very good lock down, but with a lot of extra belt. If you don't plan on getting any wider in the waist, small is the size for you

You can purchase a waist extender for about $10. You can use more then one together if needed. I am a very large gal and find that the regular belt is a very tight fit but with the waist extender it fits much more comfortably...
