What it’s for
A scale hides changes in shape. A tape around the waist every couple of weeks shows what the scale doesn't.
What to check in the listing
The self-locking kind (you wrap it, press, and it holds) is the one worth having, because you can read it without a second pair of hands. Measure the same spot the same way each time — the navel is the usual landmark — or the numbers mean nothing.
At a glance

For getting a number right rather than close enough, read Measuring accurately — units, bubbles and dead space.
