3.1. Sizing Your Oura Ring

It is crucial to size yourself with the Oura Ring Gen3 Sizing Kit before purchasing your Oura Ring Gen3. Oura Ring Gen3 uses a unique sizing system that differs from standard US ring sizes. Finding the correct size is essential for optimal performance and accuracy of the device.

1. Purchase the Oura Ring Gen3 Sizing Kit: This kit contains various plastic ring sizes to help you determine your ideal fit.
2. Try on Multiple Sizes: Wear the plastic rings on your preferred finger (index finger is recommended for best performance and accuracy) to find the most comfortable fit.
3. Wear for 24 Hours: To ensure accuracy, wear the chosen plastic ring size for at least 24 hours to account for natural finger swelling throughout the day and night.
4. Find Your Most Comfortable Fit: Select the size that feels secure but not too tight, allowing for slight movement.
