How do I measure my waist?

1. Get a measuring tape.
   Use a flexible measuring tape like the kind used by tailors.
   
2. Find the right position.
   Place the measuring tape where the waistband of your underwear normally sits. This is usually slightly below your navel, but it can vary from person to person.
   
3. Relax your stomach.
   Stand upright, breathe normally and do not pull your stomach in.
   
4. Measure around your waist.
   Wrap the measuring tape around your waist without squeezing. Keep it level and snug, but not too tight.
   
5. Read the measurement in centimetres.
   This number is your waist measurement. Check our size chart to see which size matches it.

Which value should I choose from the list?

• Between two centimetre values? Choose the higher value for a little more comfort.
• Prefer a closer fit? Choose the lower value.
• Does your waist measurement fluctuate, for example between morning and evening or because of training? Choose your average, or the higher value if in doubt.

No measuring tape?

Use a piece of string or a shoelace: place it around your waist where you wear your underwear, mark the point where it overlaps, then measure that length with a ruler or tape measure.
