How did you work out the right breast pump flange size?

I’m curious how everyone worked out their breast pump flange size. Did you measure before buying your pump, or did you have to try a couple of sizes before finding one that felt right?
I keep seeing different sizes mentioned and wasn’t sure whether the standard size that comes with a pump works for most people.

My pumps had a piece of cardboard with holes in it which had different diameters. You're meant to put your nipple into each hole and find one which is just a tiny bit loose around the nipple. I'm sure you can order this measuring tool somewhere or even make it at home - draw a line half as long as the diameter, draw a circle with a drawing compass and cut it out to make a hole
