Features & Benefits
Why our tape measure doesn’t start at zero
It’s not a mistake…
Many customers were shocked to find out that Lightstuff Easy Body Tape Measure does not start from 0. But this is no ordinary tape measure. The product is specifically designed to measure circumferences.
We know..
Please see the photo above, the casing is included in the measurement. To make the calculation easier, let’s imagine the arm’s circumference was 15 inches. If the tape started at 0, the measurement would show approximately 13, because the casing portion is about 2 inches as you see in the next photo.
And now you know.
If the tape started at about 2 inches, the measurement would show 15 inches, making it possible to obtain the correct figure without cumbersome mental calculations. This is why our tape measure starts at about 2 inches.

This body tape measure definitely does the job effectively.
THANK YOU!! Everything came out great. It shipped on time and the product (body measuring tape) was exactly as described. I was able to measure myself so easily and measurements come in either standard inches or centimeters. I thought the item was going to be bigger but I was (pleasantly) surprised it was smaller because this was it was more portable to take along and put in a suitcase without it taking up too much space.The body tape measure itself is solid and the recoil function is neither too tight nor too loose. It’s just right.I believe circumference measuring is a much better way to determine gains made in losing body fat (especially the waist) and gaining muscle and this item is a valuable tool to easily measure progress towards goals. Couple this with a fat-measuring body weight scale and you have a powerful duo of data to help achieve goals.Thank you!

Great product, easy to use
This is my second tape like this, but first from Lightstuff. It is very well designed and it looks like the design on this one addresses the issues that caused my last one to break . I’ve had it for a few months, I use it weekly and have had zero issues.

Great little tape measure
This tape measure is very simple and easy to use. You push and hold the button and pull out the tape. Release the button and it will lock the tape out. Place it around your body and hook the end in the slot. Push and hold the button snd it retracts. Once its snug against your body, release the button and it again locks in place. Unhook the end and read the tape. Super simple. I docked one star because the spring is kinda week so it does not retract as smooth as I would like.

Not too tight, not too loose = accurate measurement
I’ve now tried five different brands of self-measuring tape, and this one–from Lightstuff–is the only one that provides an accurate measurement. Two of the others contract too tightly, squeezing so much that that they give a measurement 1/8 to 1/2 inch smaller than accurate. One of the others both contracts too tightly and nonetheless consistently provides a number 1/8 to 1/4 inch *greater* than accurate. All three of those tapes also stop only in increments of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. The remaining tape contracts appropriately–not too tightly, not too loose–and stops contracting when it meets the appropriate resistance, rather than in increments, but it’s numbers are simply incorrect: every alleged inch on the tape is actually about 15/16 of an inch. The Lightstuff tape is the only one I’ve found so far that A) doesn’t contract too tightly, B) stops contracting not in increments, but when it meets the appropriate resistance, and C) is accurate in scale: an inch really is an inch. Consequently, the Lightstuff tape is the only one that provides an accurate measurement. I don’t know how durable it is (I’ve had it for only a short while), but I’m entirely satisfied with it so far.

Easier to Use than Standard Tape Measure
I would have given this product 4.5 if I could have, because it is not perfect – as some reviewers have pointed out, the end of the tape measure jumps out of the socket pretty easily, which can be annoying. But in general it works pretty well, and for the price it is a good deal. It’s much easier to use for taking body measurements than a standard tape measure. Up until now I did not know that they made special tape measures for this purpose and I’m glad to learn this!

Could be better
The measurements stop at 60 inches. Not meant for those who are plus size.

Love this
I love this tape measurer. It is easy to use and the measurements are accurate. It starts at 3 inches because that is how wide the plastic part is. It is not incorrect. I like that I can clip it together to get an accurate measurement of the body part I am measuring. Would recommend

Nifty!
I love this little tool for measuring my waist, hips, thighs, and arms! It is easy to use and efficient because it has the connection when you are ready to look at your measurement! Thank you!

体重以外にも「サイズ」で変化を見たくて買いました。使い方は簡単で、ボタンを押すと自動で巻き取ってくれるので、片手でも測りやすいです。腕やウエスト、太ももなど毎日同じ位置で測れるから、変化に気づきやすいのが最高。数字がちょっとでも減ってると「今日もがんばろう」って思えます。筋トレ・ダイエット中の方に心からおすすめします。継続のモチベになります！

Bought this to take measurements for my toddler. It was perfect! Did the job in 5 mins. It’s soft against the skin so the toddler wasn’t fussed about us measuring him. Great product

Arrived quickly.The first 2 inches are not marked to account for the space taken up by the machine when measuring (ie the distance between where the tape comes out and where the end of the tape slots back onto the machine).The remaining markings match up with a standard rape measure.It retracts the tape to a sensible spot then holds it there. Very easy for one person to use.Bit fiddly to keep the end of the tape in its holder. The tape would be improved by making the peg bigger/ hole smaller so that it doesn’t slip out so easily. Other than that great so far.
