A device for measuring a waist of an individual. The inventive device includes a main body having a measuring loop coupled to a first end thereof. A portion of the measuring loop is biased into the main body by a spring for storage to preclude unintentional engagement with surrounding objects and includes an indicator projecting from the main body such that a waist of a child can be measured to select an appropriate diaper size within a store. The device can additionally be utilized for simply estimating a circumference of a portion or waist of a human body absent an actual positioning of the portion of the human body thereinto.
