In this short guide, we will give you details on how to take your size measurements. All of the products you purchase that are made specifically for you, such as bracelets, collars, and harnesses, must fit your body perfectly and make you comfortable.
Let's quickly go over how to measure your body for everything you might need. These measurements will come in handy when you shop. Before you start:
- Be careful not to stretch the tape measure. (If you do not have a tape measure, you can also do this with the help of a rope and ruler. After taking the measurement with the rope, you can find the length of the rope with the ruler.)
- Measure both wrists, ankles, legs, etc. to ensure accurate measurements. measure. (Sometimes they don't match!)
How to Measure Arm Length?
There are two basic points to consider when measuring arm length.
First, care should be taken to keep the elbow straight during measurement. Situations such as bending of the elbow result in a smaller arm size than normal.
The second point to consider is to start from the highest point of the shoulder and take measurements all the way to the beginning of the wrist. Starting from the midpoint of the shoulder will also result in smaller measurements than normal.
How to Take Waist Measurement?
Belly button level can be used as a criterion when taking waist measurements. The most ideal waist circumference measurement is taken below the belly button. Care should be taken not to shift this alignment when passing the measuring device around the waist and moving it to the back. If the tape measure is not aligned, this may result in a thicker waist measurement than normal. A mirror can be used or someone can help you make sure the front and back are parallel.
How to Take Hip Measurement?
In order to take the hip measurement correctly, the knees must first come close to each other and the feet must stand slightly apart. Leaving the feet completely touching each other will result in incorrect measurements. A natural, upright posture is the most important detail for taking all body measurements.
Hip measurement should be taken from the thickest point of the hip area. It is necessary to ensure that the measuring device is held correctly, starting from the zero point and tightly surrounding the entire hip. You can get help from someone else for the most ideal measurement process. It may be difficult to measure yourself on your own, but it is possible to do so.
How to Measure Leg Length?
Leg length measurement is defined as the measurement from the pelvis to the protrusion of the ankle bone. Since it may be difficult to measure the entire leg at once when measuring on your own, you can first measure up to the knee. These values can then be collected by measuring from the knee to the ankle.
How to Take Chest Measurement?
Body size is measured directly under the chest. Chest size by wrapping this line with a tape measure . Holding the tape measure so as not to pinch the skin is very important to obtain accurate results.
How to Take Neck Measurement?
Keep your neck upright while looking at a point in front of you. You can measure the neck circumference with your tape measure from the point at the lower border of the larynx (Adam's apple).
How to Take Wrist Measurement?
Wrap the tape measure, rope or strip of paper around your wrist and mark with a pencil where the two ends meet. Afterwards, measure the area you marked on the tape measure or paper with the millimetric (mm) ruler you will take. The value you find by measuring will give your wrist size.
How to Take Upper Leg Measurement?
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and upright. You can measure your upper leg circumference with the help of a tape measure from the midpoint of your hip bone and knee bone.
How to Take Shoulder Measurement?
Again, while standing upright, take measurements by wrapping the tape measure or rope around the steepest protrusions of your shoulder. Chest: After exhaling while standing upright, take the measurement so that the tape measure or rope falls on your nipples and covers your body from end to end.
