How to measure yourself without a tape measure: 4 simple ways
You don’t have a tape measure at home, but you need to measure yourself accurately? Don’t worry, there are some easy ways to measure your measurements using common items you have on hand. In this article, we will show you how you can measure yourself without the need for special tools.
1. Twine and ruler
One of the easiest methods is to use twine, a shoelace, cable, or any other longer object. Wrap this object around the body part you want to measure (for example, waist, hips or chest). When the ends of the twine meet, mark or memorize this location. Then you unroll the twine and measure its length using an ordinary ruler. If you only have a small ruler, you will need to divide the measurement and calculate the total length in stages.
2. Construction tape measure
If you have some tools at home, you might be able to find a tape measure used by craftsmen, for example. This type of tape measure works similarly to a tape measure. Just wrap it around the desired part of the body and record the resulting value. This method of measurement is fast and accurate.
3. Smartphone applications
In today’s digital age, there are plenty of apps to help you measure without the need for a physical tape measure. These apps use the phone’s camera to measure the length or girth of different body parts. Just launch the app, point the camera at the area you want to measure, and the app will show you the results. Some applications even offer the ability to save measurements and track changes over time.
These simple measuring methods will allow you to accurately determine your measurements even without a tape measure. Just use common items you have at home, such as twine, a shoelace, or a tape measure. If you prefer modern technology, you can use smartphone apps that use the camera to measure body circumference. These methods are practical and accurate, whether you are going to shop in our e-shop, make your own clothes, or just need current measurements for other purposes. With these tricks you will always be prepared. 🙂
