I don’t think there is any other “true” measure of/for girth, than with a measuring tape. Wrapping a string around your unit, and then laying it down on a ruler can be misleading, as you can stretch the string, and the location where you mark the spot on the string can be “fudged”.
Also, make sure that the measuring tape is accurate against a ruler. I have a measuring tape that in nearly .15 inches SHORT. (a pleasant surprise)
Paraphrased: It is not the critic who counts: The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
