This template was JUST created and haven't had a chance to test it. Let me know if this works better for you!
The sling comes in 2 different sizes. These do NOT have to match your breast, its intended to LIMIT the gravity pull when measuring the HH while leaning.

*Bonus: Why Measure Leaning/Bending?
Viscous breasts are affected by gravity in a way that is different than someone who is self supporting. The breast tissue not only pulled downward but also spreads from the weight, creating a wider breast root and possibly increased horizontal measurement. We created the Measuring Sling to help combat this. Simply use the sling and tape combo to “pull the breast back” a bit while measuring.
Taking the horizontal measurement while leaning has a few advantages for those with large breasts and/or soft tissue.
Allows use of both hands (no assistant needed)
Approximates the lift and shape that an underwired bra would ideally provide.
Reveals the shape of the breast crease unencumbered by gravity.
