Flesh cutters?

Something that really puzzles me about this place: how come all these tiny band sizes?

No offence intended at all, I am just genuinely puzzled.
So many girls with obviously larger ribcages than my own, wearing the same band size as I am, and then when you look at the pictures -perhaps just to my stupid eyes- it looks as if the bras are cutting into the flesh at the sides; I mean, that can NOT be comfortable? It looks painful to me, and doesn't it make breathing harder if the max stretched out band size is the same as your rib cage size? And how does it look under clothes?

I mean, if I were to wear a 26 band size because it stretches out to 70cms, I'd be in agony, it would be cutting into my ribs!! (but then again, I am a bag of bones and not a normal woman...)

  • well im certainly not a 28 haha and my bad boys need a lot of hefty support from the band and yes i got rolls of fat - i just dont wear clothes too tight lol

  • I think sometimes people don't understand this; in general it's not uncomfortable to squish fat. Not more uncomfortable than having the boobs inside a bra. I discovered I was wearing jackets smaller than my waist and hip measurements for example. Since I hate something being tight around my stomach I was surprised about that. Turned out my flesh is just very compressable.

    When I could wear tighter bands I never had any discomfort from them. The discomfort came from the wires being distorted into my gore. But cutting into fat really do seem to bother everyone but the one with the fat.
