My main problem with armbraid is that lowest loop is so loose, that only place it can stay (I have XS ones) is just under elbow. I can't adjust it to stay at my wrist where they should go, they immidiately slide back up, which causes all the rest to slide and twist out of shape. Is there any method to anchor them in place? I think they need to be regulated same way as core part is with velcro, because with very long and skinny arms it won't fit otherwise :(

how long ago did you purchase your Arm Braid? We have a newer version than the one in this video that includes little finger straps at the cuff to help keep the cuff on the wrist.

@@mommingwitheds8506 I have one with finger straps that are digging hard between fingers if I try to use them :(. I'm thinking about taking out whole section and attaching it to other wristbands that I already have (at angle so it won't slide)

@@miramari732 That is an interesting idea. I would recommend taking it to a professional tailor or altering shop to help make sure the intgrity of the material is compromised. If you want to keep trying the finger loops, remember that they can be used in between any of the fingers, together or separate. I find the putting them all in between my thumb and forefinger provides the least amount of tension on my fingers. I also like to keep one of the layers of the wrist cuff in that spot and then spread the finger straps out to the other fingers. This option also reduces finger tension. I believe on my Body Braid Playlist I have a video with the newer arm braid with finger straps if you would like to check that out as well.

@@mommingwitheds8506 Thank you very much! I thought about doing that after I play with it a bit more. Main problem seems to be that my arms are very thin and very long in comparision to my body (158cm height, but 166cm from fingertip to fingertip when arms are spread, but just 12-13cm around wrist - there's reason why I was called stick insect in school), so angle on last loop is completely off and I try to work around that. If I'll decide to do alterations I have good seamstress in mind. I want of course to try all "non nuclear" options first :)

You have to be gentle, easy, and a little silly to be able to find that balance between support and ease. I love the philosophy that underlies this video - it's your approach to living with EDS.
