How big is your Waist – The CM belt will Reveal All

cm belt 1
The CM belt is one way of letting everyone know how slim you are. The belt is a tape measure with CM marks on it. On the belt buckle is a window which reveals exactly how big your waist is. It's not something I will be using too soon.

    Hello Marie,
    Unfortunately I cannot find where this is now available. The site I originally found this on it currently down. If it comes back online I will let you know.

    Maybe you should buy a tape measure and just attach a belt buckle ;) It shouldnt be too hard to make.

    i think this belt is a very bad idea it could cause people to get depressed and commit suciside. if the want to know have big their waist is, then use a tape messure, because i’m sure that people dont want others to see how big they are, i for one wouldn’t like that. so this is a BAD DESIGN!!!

    @rosie: I am a product and jewelery designer and had just a few weeks ago the same idea. (I was disappointed when I saw that a measure belt already exists) but I don’t think that it is a bad design – in contrary! Well, MY IDEA was to express in a biting way that some people don’t wear a belt in orderto hold their trousers but to show off how slim they are. It’s kind of social critics like a CARICATURE and should exhibit that media and advertisment focuse only on idealistic body dimensions.

    @marie & @matthew: I can provide you with similar belts. If you contact me by email I’ll send you pictures.
