What is how to measure hips?

To measure your hips accurately, follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Stand in front of a mirror in a relaxed posture. Wear light clothing or just your underwear for the most accurate measurement. Make sure your feet are together and your weight is evenly distributed.

2. Locate the Widest Point: Find the widest part of your hips and buttocks. This is typically a few inches below your waist.

3. Position the Measuring Tape: Hold the end of the measuring tape at one hip and wrap it around your body, keeping the tape level. Ensure the tape passes over the fullest part of your buttocks.

4. Maintain a Level Tape: Check in the mirror to make sure the tape is horizontal all the way around your body. It shouldn't be sagging or angled.

5. Read the Measurement: Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight. It should lie flat against your skin without digging in. Breathe normally and look at the point where the tape measure meets the starting end. This is your hip measurement.

6. Record and Repeat: Write down the measurement to the nearest quarter inch or centimeter. It's a good idea to take the measurement two or three times to ensure accuracy.
