I had no idea these were so popular and of the types available. I'm a novice so I'll start slowly I think according to the advice. Metal sounds the go but getting the diameter correct is the most important thing it seems. Any advice here? I've checked some sites, measure a few times, delete the extremes and average the rest, then multiply by 0.8 for a firm but comfortable fit, is that a reasonable approach? SBN.
For "everyday" use, I actually use hairbands. I use the wide, flat kind ($3-4 for 12-15 of them at Walgreens/CVS). Make sure they are "seemless". You can bunch them together or place them side-by-side to really stretch yourself out.
For something more weighty, I use anchor shackles from Lowes ($7-9 a piece). You can get these all different sizes and weights. I usually get the 4-6 oz one. I've worn as many as 6 at one time, but usually just 1 or 2 will do me.
I've been stretching for about 3 years and can now wear a 450gr tapered bullet metal ring permanently now. I've had to stop wearing undies so they hang more easily. My 1.3kg weight arrived last week and it feels amazing but i cant wear it for too long but patience is the key. If i'm not wearing my stretchers i feel naked without them hahah
Hey, does anyone have any experience with magnetic split ring ball stretchers? They're like the regular split rings, but instead of using an Allen wrench to keep the halves together, there's a magnet that is supposed to keep the two halves aligned. I've found some chrome plated ones on AliExpress...they look cool, and seem like a great idea without having to mess around with an Allen wrench and all. But I'm just wondering if the magnets are strong enough to keep the two halves together, or do they fall off at inopportune moments?!? Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
