How to measure what size you need

When choosing the size of pantyhose to order, you will need to know your height and weight. This means that the pantyhose you wear are going to fit comfortably, no matter if you are running around or sitting behind a desk all day.

So, what’s the best way to measure your height?
Grab a tape measure, take off your shoes and stand up against a wall. (Its easiest if there is someone to help you but you can also do it on your own.) Place a hardcover book on the top of your head once you are against the wall, make a pencil mark on the wall where the underside of the book meets the wall and then simply measure from the mark to the floor and you have your height.

And since we are talking about measurements, here are some tips on measuring the rest of your body. Its best to do this in private as the most accurate measurements are made with no clothes on. Always check that the tape measure is not twisted but rather flat, and that its not cutting into any parts of your body when you measure.
Hips – measure with the tape measure around your hip bones.
Thighs – place the tape measure around the largest part of your thigh.
Waist – your waist is situated between the top of your hip bones and the bottom of your rib cage, just above your belly button. Place the tape measure around your waist.
Inside leg – the measurement from crotch to ankle bone.
Foot length – the measurement from tip of the big toe to the back of the heel.
