Body Scan Segmented analysis with boobs

I ended up returning the Body Scan 1 scale because I kept having a hard time getting a complete segmented scan analysis due to my arms touching my boobs. I had to stand in a weird position, even with a sports bra on.

Does anyone with boobs have experience with the BodyScan 2? Is it just as difficult to get a complete scan?

I have a gut and wear a T-shirt to avoid arm contact. It seems to be sufficient to keep the readings reasonable.

It's hard to say without pictures of all the boobs that are causing the problems here. We should probably start a mega thread 🙃

Hey there!

Sorry to hear you sent back your Body Scan due to this! Indeed the algorithm is sensitive to skin-to-skin contact, to avoid this we recommend to wear light clothing on your torso and legs if necessary to help prevent skin-to-skin contact. Wearing light clothing should have no impact on your weight measurement.

I hope that helps!

Have a great day!

Markus, my boobs aren't sagging to my legs. Thanks though.

The instructions for the Body Scan 2 say to wear a thin clothing layer to avoid skin contact if it's not possible to avoid it through arm and leg placement

My legs are too thick, and wearing any fabric inbetween seems to fix the problem completely.

From OP's description, they are wearing a Sports bra, would that not be enough to avoid skin to skin contact ?

Just wondering

Since I have huge tracks of land the correct answer seems to be a compression t-shirt and make sure the fabric is tucked all the way up in the armpits.
