Download a tape measure

If you don’t have a tape measure handy, you can download a tape measure so that you can print it off and measure your waist circumference in the privacy of your own home:
Note: Make sure your 'page scaling' options are set to 'none' when printing the tape measure, to ensure that the tape measure is printed correctly.
