Performance notes
The maker lists a very light weight of about 0.09 pounds and no display, power source, or measurement type, so this is a manual tape rather than a digital device. It is built for taking your own circumference measurements. Consistency matters most here, since repeatable readings depend on measuring the same locations the same way each time.
What buyers say
With a 4.1 rating across about 283 reviews, feedback leans positive and the sample is large enough to be meaningful. That points to general satisfaction for a simple, low cost tool, though how useful it feels depends on how consistently you measure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the MyoTape measure?
It is a tape for measuring body circumferences, such as around the arms, waist or legs. It does not estimate body fat percentage on its own; you record the measurements and track them yourself.
Can I use it by myself?
Yes. It is designed for solo measuring, so you do not need a second person to take readings. Measuring the same spots the same way each time helps keep your numbers comparable.
Is it accurate?
The maker does not list an accuracy figure, and a tape relies on consistent technique. Treat the numbers as general references and ask a healthcare professional about what they mean for you.
