Diaper Swappers

I don't have a flexible measuring tape, so I had to use a piece of string on my LO and then lay it flat against a regular ruler. When I'm measuring for her sizes, I'm wondering if I'm doing it right. W (waist) is just above the hip bone and all the way around? H (hip) is the fatty part of the booty? T (thigh) is around the fattest part of the upper thigh? R (rise) is from the top of the CD in the front, under the crotch, and to the top of the CD on the back? And I (inseam) is from the crotch to the ankle?

Just making sure! I measured her today, several days after ordering wool covers, lol. I was flying by the seat of my pants. My chunky monkey has 10" thighs by this measurement. She's 5 months old!!

Sounds correct to me. What measurements are you getting? Maybe we can let you know if we think they sound reasonable?
