Why does my pad feel tight even though I’ve got the right measurements?

Did I order the wrong size? It’s normal for your pads to feel a bit tight when they’re fresh out of their packaging. They should feel firm and secure and shouldn’t move when you shake your arms or legs. As a general guide, if you can easily slide on your pads and easily fit your fingers between the pad and your skin, then it’s the right fit. Remember, your pads will break in after a few wears. Think of it like wearing in a pair of leather shoes. They should be firm, but not uncomfortable. If you have any discolouration or tingling in your hands, arms or legs then your pads are too tight.
