How to measure correctly:
1. 📍 Find the right place • The waist is measured not at the waistband of the pants, but at the narrowest point between the lower edge of the ribs and the top of the ilium (pelvic bone). • If the narrowest point is not pronounced (often in men), then measure at the level of the navel or slightly above.
2. 📏 Prepare • Measure while standing in a relaxed position. • Do not suck in your stomach, but do not inflate it on purpose either. • Breathe calmly; the measurement is usually taken on the exhale (after a light exhale, not a full one).
3. 🧵 Use a soft tape measure • The tape measure should fit snugly, but not dig into the skin. • The tape should be parallel to the floor around the entire circumference.
4. 🔄 Take several measurements • Repeat 2-3 times and record the average value.
