How to Measure Your Hips
Your hips might not lie, but do you know how to measure ‘em?
You need to know your hip size for lots of different things. For example, finding your perfect Undie size. But nobody ever tells you how to measure your hips.
That is, not until today. Let’s learn how to take a hip measurement!
Waist vs Hips: Which is Which?
The downfall for many is not knowing the difference between your natural waist and your hips.
Where do you measure your hips? The answer is below your waist. Your natural waist is the smallest part of your torso, where your body dips in. Below that lies your hips. They’re wider and include the top of your butt, so don’t ignore it!
Follow these steps and you’ll be on your way to knowing your perfect size in no time. All you’ll need is some flexible cloth measuring tape to get started.
Step 1: Find A Full-Length Body Mirror
Get in front of that mirror and take a minute to drink yourself in. You’re gorgeous! Okay, step one is complete. Isn’t this easy?
Step 2: Remove Loose Clothes
If you have bulky clothes on, go ahead and take ‘em off. You can even take off all your clothes if you want, it’s just us in here.
Step 3: Place Your Feet Together
Like Dorothy, but without the ruby slippers. Put your feet together to ensure you aren’t making yourself wider than you actually are.
Step 4: Find Your Widest Point
Eye yourself in the mirror and figure out where you’re the widest. Boom, that’s where your hips are. Not too hard, huh? Wrap your measuring tape around that part of your body, careful to make sure it’s laying flat against your skin (this is where the mirror comes in).
Make sure the tape is snug but not cutting off circulation. Also ensure that it’s going across both of your buns. It should also look somewhat even. If it’s totally slanted, maybe try again!
Step 5: Read Your Measurement
Simply look down and…read your measurement. Maybe write it down so you don’t forget.
If you do forget, however, we will always be here for you. Like we always say, we have your back and your butt. Take your fresh hip measurement and dive into a pair of Undies that fit you like an absolute dream. You’ve earned it.
