Maija And how does this differ from a chain?
If you have a long chain which it is no problem to go up stairs it means you move your legs with larger angle. This needs longer movement of your legs and use of your muscles.
The whole thigh bands remind me of foot binding in China.

Not at all.
Certain usage is not logical, but both concepts are quite different.
Ines Well, and it is logical, We did not have miniskirt until we could hold a card with our knees, but one thing is that and another chain them
it's not really logical for me either, but the belt as such is already a purely emotional thing, so....
Maija My father solved this with a padlock so no need to pull closer only when sitting
I had that too, but I prefer to be able to walk better, I don't move my legs when I'm sitting down anyway
Sin There are many people who smoke cigarettes that don't die of cancer. It doesn't mean we should just ignore the obvious dangers.
don't ignore it, but see that a lot is also related to luck. some people are lucky not to be sick, others are almost always sick. I refuse to make general statements. of course we shouldn't smoke and only drink small amounts of alcohol, but that doesn't mean that we can't get sick
Joh If you have a long chain which it is no problem to go up stairs
if the bands are high enough you can do it with just a padlock, but in general I agree with you

These are repeatable experiments! Tight hip adductors will eventually affect the SI joint and cause postural issues. Inactive hip flexors will cause pelvic tilt, and so on. It's just what happens.
You won't feel it now because you're a teenager in peak condition. But pelvic imbalances, back pain, neck pain, knee problems and postural issues are what makes you "old", not age. Look after your body and especially your pelvis and spine, it's the only one you've got!

No, I disagree, friendly, with you.
Thigh bands have as objective maintain safe to wearer, obviously There is a restraining, of course, but rightly used it can be minimal, at the end the girls do not need spread their legs in bed.
I am semi-profesional player, so, imagine how much avoid my development the bands with a good usage.
i don't disagree, i just think that not all factors are taken into account. if i get sick even though i take great care of my body, that's what happens. i could also stay healthy if i had bad physical conditions. of course, the chances are different, but i think it can never be said in general terms.
One does not move their legs that much anyway when not exercising, so I think my exercise break each day is plenty to take care of any health issues
the risk is higher, i'm not denying that. i'm just denying that there is a causal link in any case.

frankly, i think so too. if you exercise your legs for an hour a day, you move them more than many without thighbands (or even just belts). 
Joh I do 5 times per week yoga for 30 minutes and it helps me a lot.
well i do a mixture of jogging and walking once a week for 60 minutes, so far no problem
I have now come into terms with what I want to do with the whole block piece situation. After some further tests, as a whole, I have concluded that it is too much for anything other than max a couple of hours.
However, there has been another problem bothering me and my parents, which a block piece could solve: since I have gotten used to all of my equipment so we'll, there is nothing (apart from spanking) that my parents can punish me with. From experience I know that long term that will not be good for me and my mental health, and as a result I have reached an agreement with my parents. Since my father knows very many contacts in the metal fabrication industry, he will have someone make a block piece compatible with my bands. Then, they can lock it on me should I require it (it will not be used at school)
This way, I can avoid it most of the time and when I cannot, it will be for a good reason
