Question for those who wrap every night

I've been able to reorder all of my supplies on the Internet, including a tubular type gauze that I use for the initial layer.  I wrap every other night.  If you need to know the names/types/specifications of the supplies or the specific website, just let me know.  

bhd1:  I usually get my TG tubular gauze Stockinette at either Lymphedema Products:

or at Bandages plus:

There are many different types of products available though so check out some of the other options on these sites.

thanks Linda. How do you know what size to get?

The smaller the number the narrower the gauze tube.  I generally use a size 5 or 6 for my arms and I would wear a medium/medium large size compression sleeve if I was buying off the shelf. The length of your arm doesn't matter since you can cut the tubular gauze as long or short as you need.  The gauze is also fairly stretchy so it can accommodate various sizes within reason.  Generally size 5,6,7 can be used for adult arms or children's legs. Sizes larger than 7 are more often used for adult thighs or legs.  The very largest sizes can be used for truncal or abdominal wrapping.  

I think 5 or 6 is the most common used in LE wrapping for adult arms.

Sizes are listed as TG 5, TG 6, TG 7 etc.  Some sites also add a  xxs xs s med etc. but they always should have the TG # listed.

Here is the list from Lymphedema Products:
