Using a felt tip pen, hold the point on the paper for 5 seconds so the ink has time to penetrate all the way through the paper. Unwind the paper. Measure the distance from the first dot to the second dot. This is the number you will use when ordering.
If you have knuckle problems or enlargements please measure the largest part of the finger.
