Ok, how come I don't get consistent results with the breast parameter measurement? I must be doing something wrong. . . Besides double and triple checking. I was pretty sure it was 12" yesterday, now looks more like 11". I am wondering if I there is a particular place the measuring tape should go? I know of course it confines to breast tissue, and I am sure that each time I am only measuring breast tissue.....It must be my tape placement. Something is making this number change, and I am pretty sure it is my misuse of a measuring tape.

  • Granted, it is a very difficult measurement, I'd say go with the average, they should all be within that one inch difference right?

  • More than likely. I did not cut in with the tape. I just made sure it seemed taut. It is really tricky to tell where the boob ends on my side. I know this isn't rocket science, but it is really not clear cut to me. I think for the most recent measurement, I leaned to the right, placed the tape at the end of the resulting boob bulge then leaned forward and wrapped it around toward the center....But that isn't all I tried. I also tried starting along the edge where my boob under crease ends on my side, then I tried cutting in to see where my body met rib cage in the front and started there, then I started this leaning to the side thing. Which one is appropriate? Do I sound crazy? I am, you know. I am a very, very uhh. Look, I don't even know what they call this....OCD? I want the best possible measurement so I can get the best possible recommendations.
