Does anyone else out there have a pair of these? if yes, I am just curious as to how much you "pinch" them together when taking a reading? I normally pinch them until they are tight but am not sure if this is correct way to take measure? Seems this would make a difference as if you just pinched them together until they are not that tight that you get a higher BF% reading...with mine I seem to range between 10-12% body fat..which seems right for me..just curious. thanks in advance!

    There's a particular place to hold them (there are striations where your thumb goes)- so that when you pinch it will "snap" into the little hole thing. I don't know how to explain it better than that- but there's a little hole and bulb that snaps into it when the appropriate pressure is used.
