Thighbands

thanks, i always forget to link it 🙂

Roland

Maija The chain also runs through the crotch for additional security.

What exactly is the extra security you mentioned?

Roland What exactly is the extra security you mentioned?

when i sit down my legs are pulled together

That was my post originally 😂

But yes, like @Angelina told you already. Adds little to security, but makes the wearer behave more femininely (at least I benefit from it 😃)

Roland

Now I see. That's particularly mean. Because when you sit down, the chain pulls itself back with the ring in the crotch band and thus becomes shorter and pulls yout legs together. A really mean idea! Your father thought of everything to make things more difficult for you.

Angelina

Roland

it's a bit mean, although when sitting it's actually not that extremely bad, most fights still take place lying down

I don't want to steal anything from you, of course 😂

i would add that it makes it more difficult to pull down the thighbands if they are attached low down. i have no experience with this but maybe @Tobbe knows if i am right (if he understands what i mean)

Vanessa

Maija I benefit from it 😃

But are the benefits of such thigh bands better than the negative parts of it,for you?

Angelina

Can you use this to explain to your father it is useless and only have a classical chain between the thigh bands only?

carg

Well explained!🙂

Tobbe

Angelina Not too low, because then it is possible to lie on your back. Bend the thighs towards the abdomen and pull down the thigh rings over the knees. That is why the chains must be so short that it becomes impossible to do it. Approximately in the middle of the thighs is a good starting point and shorten the chains, if it is still possible to get out of the thigh rings.

Angelina

Tobbe

yes i know that, my question was more about whether connecting the chain to the crotch shield is an effective way to prevent that? or does that have no effect? my thighbands are attached in the middle because my father suspects something exactly like that, and otherwise it is too difficult to walk.

Tobbe

Angelina If your thighs bands are to low, it is not more protected with the crotch chain. This chain is more to make your legs closer together and a nicer posture when sitting,

ah ok, thank you i almost thought so but wanted the confirmation of a real expert 😉

carg

Wow, so if the chain is too tight the wearer might not even be able to sit anymore?

@Angelina if the manufacturer can confirm what Tobbe says, that would be a very good argument towards your father for no longer attaching the connecting chain to the bottom of your belt. (I assume your father won't take Tobbe's word for it, so you'd probably need a statement from the manufacturer.)

Tobbe

carg Wow, so if the chain is too tight the wearer might not even be able to sit anymore?

That's right, but it's possible to also connect the crotch chain in the middle of the thighs chain. Then it's easier to walk and stand up with the legs apart, but they must be close together when sitting!

Angelina

carg Wow, so if the chain is too tight the wearer might not even be able to sit anymore?

Why shouldn't that work, both legs side by side?

carg , that would be a very good argument towards your father for no longer attaching the connecting chain to the bottom of your belt.

why? sorry i don't see why that should be an argument against my father

good question, sometimes i'm not sure what others mean either. i mean the exact length of the chain, from one leg to the other.

Billy How big is this effect of having your legs pulled together? Is it just one or two centimetres of less play or more?

do you mean when i'm sitting? sorry i've never measured that, but if i'm not careful it can quickly become uncomfortable.

gwen It looks like I'm joining the thigh band club, at least part time. 😅

welcome to the club 😉

cham-ed

I'll admit I didn't read all 1400 replies but what keeps coming up is the length of the thigh band connector chain. When someone says their connector chin is 11 cm does that mean they can spread their legs 11 cm? or is the chain doubled and they can only spread their legs 5.5 cm? Or if it goes up and through the crotch plate D ring, they would even have less ability to spread their legs. Not being familiar with thigh bands I don't know.

I thought the chain is connected on one side with the thighband goes to the crotch d-ring and to the other thighband. What is the advantage to have a chain from the d-ring to the chain between the thighbands?

gwen

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

I've continued my experiments, and I think this might actually work for me.

I found a spot a bit further down my thigh, below the bulge of my hamstring, and the bands fit comfortably there for much longer. I wear them about 2/3 of the way to my knee now. They are more difficult to conceal this far down my thigh, but I think I can live with that.

It looks like I'm joining the thigh band club, at least part time. 😅

carg

Angelina why? sorry i don't see why that should be an argument against my father

Tobbe says that connecting the thighband chain to the bottom of the belt has no added security: if the thighbands are too low, you can get out anyway, and if they are high enough you can't anyway. So the only function of that connection is to force the knees together when sitting. (OK, I write this a bit more black and white than he put it.)
As far as I have understood, only safety is important to your father, and if something that makes you more uncomfortable adds nothing to safety, would he not be willing to let that go? In other words, if he gets clear information that there is no safety benefit (like from the manufacturer of your belt), would he not be open to the idea to no longer connect your thighband chain to your belt (crotch chain)?

Angelina

carg So the only function of that connection is to force the knees together when sitting.

ah ok, i think i understand the confusion. but exactly what you describe my father sees as additional security, so you are actually right, but my father sees it differently

Vanessa Can you use this to explain to your father it is useless and only have a classical chain between the thigh bands only?

no, because as I wrote to @carg, this argument is useless. he sees a clear advantage in the fact that my legs are pulled together when sitting.

Jen

carg So the only function of that connection is to force the knees together when sitting.

I don't think sittings the problem. Laying in bed knees-up but apart and curl my pelvis a bit - like starting a sit-up - it gets a little space at under the front. It's like tighter the whole back half and pressing a lot over my vagina but can get a fingertip a bit at the front. So yeah the band and chains and stuff I've never tried but if it makes your legs together when sitting that's probably the reason

Tobbe

Joh It can be connected in many different ways.
As I described, it's a way that both gives more mobility to walk, but still forces the legs together when sitting, with only one long chain between thigh bands and crotch D-ring.

Joh

Tobbe OK. But I have still a problem to imagine why it does that. Is there any way to see both in comparison?
