    I don't think it really matters as long as you do it the same way every time.

    I measure my hips/butt by wrapping a tape measure along the widest part of my butt. The front side usually lands right around my crotch. I take all of my measurements in a locked bathroom so no one can see me doing it.

    I don't measure my butt but I do make sure I measure around the largest part of the body part I'm measuring and make sure I measure in the same spot each time. I live alone so no need to do it in a locked bathroom. Also I have a friend who is checking hers (not as often) so when she is over then we'll measure one another as it is a tiny bit easier.
