English isn't my first language, can someone explain what a myotape is and why I need one. (A Swedish translation wouldn't be too bad)

As far as I know, it's just a tapeline/tape measure device (measurement device) that makes it easy to measure the different parts of your body... the tape clips on to both ends of the device, and you can tighten the tape with the click of a button

Haven't got one myself, so at least I think that's the way it works

Myotape is a type of measuring tape. Once it is wrapped around the body part, you press a button which causes the tape to tighten and it gives you a much more consistent measurement.

Do you need it? Not really. Is it more accurate than a standard tape measure? Depends on how accurate and consistent you are. In my own opinion, it does make it easier.

Okay, so I guess I'll do with one of those then. Don't need a specific 'stretcher' for this I guess.

That one should work just fine... I'm going to purchase a myotape (or some similar product), though.. tried using a normal tape measure, and it wasn't that easy to use for measuring some parts of the body (the upper body parts, arms, etc.. the lower body parts are easy)

Just an added convenience :D

Tjenare min svenska kompis!

MyoTape is just a handy tape measure, flexible tape, i got mine yesterday along with my bodyfat calipers.

They arent essential but do prove to be incredibly useful and easy to use:)

I got mine 'free' or at least thats what it said on bodybuilding.com when i bought my bodyfat calipers
