Thighbands

Sasha

Joh We got a chain with fairly small links, and have just a single length going between the bands with a lock on each end. Not sure if it actually minimizes the noise, but at least my perception of it is

Joh

Sasha If the lock makes click noise when it bump on your bands you can rape one layer sticky tape around the lock body. I think a fabric type is better for this. And for the chain a thin flexible silicon tube may help.

Joh rape

Wrap.

Sasha And the triangle configuration isn’t practical for me for other reasons then it’s typical restrictions

right, I remember that you have described this before.
why not weld the chain? you wear the bands 24/7 anyway, so there's no need for additional locks

Joh If the lock makes click noise when it bump on your bands

That's exactly what I was thinking, how is that @Sasha?

Sasha

Angelina The clicking was mildly annoying until I read the silicone tube suggestion, which has improved things dramatically. Chains in a piece of tubing and I found some large enough to slip a piece over the lock bodies.
We did consider welding the chains to the band and belt rings, but not for the link chain. We both felt it’s important I have access to those keys if I need to remove the link in situations where the restriction could be a hazard

Spork

Sasha Rather than silicone tubing, we've been using a fabric cable tidy wrap. Seems to do the job.

Anne

Sasha which chain do you want/ can have welded? Which do you mean? Or configuration?

Angelina

Sasha We did consider welding the chains to the band and belt rings, but not for the link chain.

by link chain, do you mean the connecting chain between the bands? i.e. the chain that ensures the effect of the bands? Then I would recommend exactly the opposite, the bands as such should always be separable from the belt, but the link chain between the bands could be firmly welded.
your suggestion would only result in permanently useless thighbands on your belt 😂

Sasha as I decided to wear them fulltime.

and should this no longer be the case at some point, it will be difficult to remove them from the belt again, so it is better to weld the chain between the bands

Roland

Welding the chains is a good idea! That way you always have the thigh bands on. The connecting chain between the bands should be removable. This is advantageous. The chain and lock should be covered with rubber tubing. Try it out a little until it fits properly. Good luck!

Would you like to elaborate?

Sasha

Maija Not particularly relevant to this forum, but eluded to it with my back injury years ago

Sasha

Anne The outside chains from bands to belt could be fixed as I decided to wear them fulltime. The inside chain linking them together has to be removable and I have access to the keys for that.

Anne

Sasha yes probably it's better for flexibility.

Mr-TM

Sasha The outside chains from bands to belt could be fixed as I decided to wear them fulltime.

But surely that's not the best idea for everyone? It might be quite a hindrance when doing sports, right?

Sasha

Mr-TM When I exercise daily the belt is off anyway, as are the bands, it’s a bit of free time for me. I’m always exercising with either my mother or siblings though so no worries about cheating.
The idea of fixing some of the chains in place was mostly a I suppose you could call it a thought experiment on how to simplify things a little

Anne

Sasha you can not with belt?

Sasha

Anne I could do somethings easily like upper body workouts and such, but it's just a nice break out of the gear when there is no way I'm cheating.

Anne

Sasha do you wear CB? With bands always? Or how is it by you? And what about bra - in some older messages you mentioned...

Sasha

Anne Yes I’m wearing the bands and bra with my belt all the time

Anne

Sasha also outside, to work/school? No problems or exceptions?

Sasha

Anne With what others have described as a fairly generous link chain, haven't had many problems, at least nothing I haven't been able to work past anyway.
