Thighbands

Vanessa Would it be allowed if only your sister,but not your brother,goes with you for these walks?

No. Originally it was the two couples, but since my sister is single again, my brother had to join. It's only allowed in this way.

Joh

Sara2001 It's really nice of your brother to still do it and give you the opportunity to really move your leg muscles.

Angelina

Sara2001 No. Originally it was the two couples, but since my sister is single again, my brother had to join. It's only allowed in this way.

because there must be at least two men? i ask this because when your sister still had her boyfriend, he was also more on your sister's line than on your father's line.

Sara2001

Angelina because there must be at least two men? i ask this because when your sister still had her boyfriend, he was also more on your sister's line than on your father's line.

No, if my sister doesn't join us, it's the same. He wants it this way. I never asked exactly why.

Vanessa

Angelina

I thought it,too.

Sara2001

I wonder why too.

Angelina i understand why you don't ask

Me too.

gwen

Not going out help,in my case.

But only possible if not wearing it permanently.

Jen

Wise decision!

Ines Better to be safe about all the points of usage.

I agree.

Angelina

Sara2001 No, if my sister doesn't join us, it's the same. He wants it this way. I never asked exactly why.

so if your sister doesn't want to come, your brother still has to come?

Sara2001 I never asked exactly why.

well, the answer would interest me, but i understand why you don't ask

Sara2001

Angelina so if your sister doesn't want to come, your brother still has to come?

No, my brother can join us or not join us, just as he likes. But if we are not our group of 4, the chain says in place.

Update on my (brief) experiment with thigh bands.

I lasted about 6 hours. The mobility reduction is intolerable, and it presents itself in unexpected scenarios. For example, I tried to sit on the floor and realized it wasn't going to work. I had to kneel.

I have no idea how those of you who wear them can tolerate them long term.

Jen

gwen thanks for some truth about thigh bands 🙂 My belt has the stupid connectors but I'll never let them be used.

Ines

gwen
Have you used it with chain? Did you wear it very low?
I mean, they are restrictive, but you have to think that they are not made for wear them everytime and everywhere.
Not only sitting in the floor, but everything what you need spread your knees.
They are very useful.

Jen My belt has the stupid connectors but I'll never let them be used.

Yes, if you do not want use them, it is better you talk it with your parents. Better to be safe about all the points of usage.

Angelina

gwen Update on my (brief) experiment with thigh bands.

thanks for the update
how long was the chain you wore?

gwen I have no idea how those of you who wear them can tolerate them long term.

it works if you do not have the keys 😂 🙁

Jen My belt has the stupid connectors but I'll never let them be used.

so does your belt also have D-rings? if so, only on the sides or also on the crotch?

Maija

Ines Not only sitting in the floor, but everything what you need spread your knees.

I low-key cry every time I need to climb into a bus😭 but then again, i know they have a purpose and that they make me a better person even if it comes at the cost of some of my comfort.

gwen

Ines Have you used it with chain? Did you wear it very low?
Angelina how long was the chain you wore?

About 6cm of chain, about 1/2 way down my thighs.

The reduction in gait wasn't significant. I naturally have a short stride.

Ines Not only sitting in the floor, but everything what you need spread your knees.

Agreed. I underestimated how often I spread my knees in a typical day without even thinking about it!

I am busy, so I've paused the experiment for now, but I will probably give it another try in the future.

Angelina

Sara2001 No, my brother can join us or not join us, just as he likes. But if we are not our group of 4, the chain says in place.

frankly, i find that illogical. does the fourth person have to be a man? otherwise you could also ask a friend.

Maija I low-key cry every time I need to climb into a bus😭 but then again, i know they have a purpose and that they make me a better person even if it comes at the cost of some of my comfort.

i know these problems 🙁 but i find it admirable that you think thighbands make you a better person, i never had that feeling. why do you think that?

Ines

Maija
Are you using a padlock, right?
I, currently, do not use bands usually when I go out, however, with a chain take a bus is not very challenging.

Maija if it comes at the cost of some of my comfort.

When I use them, really, I do not need more flexibility than the allowed for them. I do not need spread my knees watching a film, or reading.

Vanessa

Maija

I imagine it is not easy!

Ines I do not need spread my knees watching a film, or reading.

But if wanting to stretch your legs during it,you can't.

Sara2001

What if your sister have a new boyfriend?

Sara2001 I still think is very nice from him

I agree.

Is it 4 maximum?For example,can he ask his girlfriend to come too?

Maija

Angelina i know these problems 🙁 but i find it admirable that you think thighbands make you a better person, i never had that feeling. why do you think that?

Aww thank you 🥰. It's just that I feel more feminine and protected

Ines Are you using a padlock, right?

Usually not when going out since I commute during the day. The chain just is a little too short

youdontknowme

Angelina Considering that it was her sister's BF instead of her brother before, I guess the rule is "known male that she is not romantically involved with" or something, which, if true, sounds a bit misogynistic to me, as if all girls and young women were part of a conspiracy to behave unchastely.

Sara2001

Angelina frankly, i find that illogical. does the fourth person have to be a man? otherwise you could also ask a friend.

It has to be exactly this group. No foreigners.

Angelina

youdontknowme which, if true, sounds a bit misogynistic to me, as if all girls and young women were part of a conspiracy to behave unchastely.

frankly i have a similar thought 😂

Sara2001 It has to be exactly this group. No foreigners.

so your father has previously determined who belongs to this group and you are, so to speak, dependent on the grace of your brother to be allowed out (without a chain in the thighbands)?

Sara2001

Angelina so your father has previously determined who belongs to this group and you are, so to speak, dependent on the grace of your brother to be allowed out (without a chain in the thighbands)?

I wouldn't have described it like this, but yes, walks without the chains are only allowed as this group of four (initially the two couples, but my brother was so nice to jump in for my sisters former boyfriend, which I still think is very nice from him).

Angelina

Sara2001

of course that's very nice of him, i won't deny that. i just wanted to know the details, thanks for the clarification

Sara2001

Vanessa What if your sister have a new boyfriend?

If they know eachother well enough, it will maybe switch back to her boyfriend again.

Vanessa Is it 4 maximum?For example,can he ask his girlfriend to come too?

No, this is a private thing. No foreigners, not even his girlfriend. Maybe someone like Daniels parents would be welcome.
