To know your waist size, you'll need a flexible tape measure. Stand up straight and wrap the tape measure around your waist at the narrowest point, usually just above your belly button. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight and parallel to the floor. Look at the measurement without compressing the skin. Record the number at the point where the tape meets its zero end for an accurate waist size.
