Hand size

[ZoeM]

So, I just measured all my hand measurements using this:


I have girl hands.
3" width, 6.8" circumference, and 7" length.

I'm not sure if this is liable to be trigger-ish, so... feel free to post your measurements. Or not.

I don't have anything to measure my hand with, but i know my hands are bigger than average for women and probably a bit smaller than average for men, and I kind of have fairly slim fingers... But anyway, I have a cis female friend with kinda large hands too, and she's quite tall, so I guess it makes sense for my hands to be bigger than average for women since I'm pretty tall too

Mostly "girl" hands...

3.6" first measurement

7.3" second

8.0" third

...but having measured, I've compared my hands to cis-women and I tend to have smaller hands than they have, given a similar height/build.

I wear Medium gloves, fwiw.

8/7.5
19.5/17.5
20.5/18.5

One of each (my right hand is smaller)

I won't be measuring, but I suspect my hands are more in the male range.  I don't let it bother me though.  After all, my Mom's hands are the same size as mine.  So, for the ladies with slightly bigger hands, don't let it get you down if you don't fit into the desired range.

I found a ruler and tried do the measurements...

I got 7.5cm for the first one, 19.5cm for the 2nd one and no idea how to do the 3rd one (I imagine a ruler wouldn't work to do it either?)...

Not really sure what it all means though lol (Like how do the percentile things work?)

It's a bell-curve distribution. If you're at the 50th percentile, you're right at the top of the measurement hump.

Width= 8.3cm/3"1in
Length=17.5cm/7"0in
Circumference=19.5cm/7"6in

Think bell curve, with 50% dead centre:

Thanks for the responses.. So for the first one I'm about average and the 2nd a little above average... Not sure about the 3rd one though :p

[bethany]

looks average to me

Hand width - 3 inches
Hand Length - 6.625 inches
Hand circumference - 7.25 inches

[Bex80]

Hand Width 8.5cm
Hand Length 19.5cm
Hand Circumference 21.5cm

Large for a lady but as expected. I ain't no pixie princess that's for sure Definitely a sturdy-girl here.

I have girl-hands too, according to that table

7,5 cm
18 cm
17,5 cm

Do you think, this table is correct? Because I know that I have bigger hands than a typical girl. On the other hand, I think I have smaller ones then most of the guys.
I think, they are somewhere inbetween.

love this table

Regardless how my measurements turn out (big hands, big feet lol) I'm going to have issues as my hands are scarred up from years of labour work prior to becoming a nurse. I once was asked for ID at a pub and then the doorman said, "actually, don't worry about it, you have the hands of a working man." ... if only he knew lol...

[JennX]

7.0 inches length
3.0 inches in width
Didn't measure the circumference.

I knew I had girl hands before even measuring. Every girl I've been friends with always had the same size hands as me or bigger.

[Devlyn]

I'm curious where this comes from, and what are measurements #1-44?

[ZoeM]

It's from Wikimedia. I assume it hails from an anatomy textbook.

[Devlyn]

Or the Palmreading 101 textbook!

Cool post. Lucky here I guess, small to medium hands, fingers are too short. I try to grow long nails to try & offset, size 9 rings so that's good.

[Joanna Dark]

My hands measured 6" long, 2.5" in breadth, and 6" in circumference. I have no idea what percentile that is but I know that my hands are really small. Smaller then most women I've met. And for being trans and having these hands I should get an award for that. JK LOL They're actually starting to look even smaller though I don't think that's possible. And I hope it's not.
