Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do

It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.

I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me

There’s a Native American phrase that is a morning greeting, but it means “you survived the night”

I think that you should talk to your doctor about your concerns. My doctor prescribed a UVB light that I use for a short period every day and it seems to be helping quite a lot with my muscle pain and vitamin D levels

I only own one Nintendo game on my Switch. I’m not going to sit here and pretend most of my games run great on it though. Slay the Spire and Stardew run well. But I’ve had quite a few crashes with Civilization and some hangs with Hades or Hollow Knight too

Yeah, this one is a little boron

Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify

Assuming Lemmy is still around by then, the front page will have a cat on it.

Be the change you want to see! Lemmy loves specific animal communities! Bats and superbowl come to mind

This is why nerf darts are strictly banned from my home. It’s like they multiply after the first one is lost under a couch cushion

Til Kate Beckinsale’s daughter is dating Robin

Lol! I had it replaced two months ago. Of course now I’m wondering if Safelite runs Black Friday sales

I used to avoid driving at certain times of day because I thought my astigmatism was making it too difficult to see. Turns out it was my windshield! Cost about $400 to to replace

I knew someone that imported a pristine 90s Skyline from Japan to the east coast of the US. In less than a year he flooded the engine. No, not the way you are thinking! I mean he drove through a deep puddle after a hurricane and hydrolocked the engine.

I have extremely sensitive skin, but aluminum antiperspirant has been fine on it. I really get into trouble with aluminum-free brands, especially if they have baking soda in them. I have to say contact dermatitis in the armpit is a unique method of accidental self-torture.

My physical therapists love to say “motion is lotion”, moving is what keeps our joints moving smoothly

Nic cage is probably one of my favorite actors because he overacts in a way that I find very entertaining.

David Schwimmer looks exactly like a shorter, darker haired version of my brother.

And now I’m confused about whether I actually love Nic Cage or if I miss my very goofy brother lol

It is 2006, that’s Ashley Tisdale
