Hi all,
I bought the powerstretch from Dash Publishing UK about two years ago, their brochure seemed always to fall open at the powerstretch page, so I took it as an omen.
I used it for several weeks, on a, as long as I could stand it basis, long enough for the water bags to tear along the carrying holes, (Dash having substituted them for the weights shown in the illustration), I presume to keep the price down.
A more durable weight system which I found, were ankle weights used on the legs by athletes, filled with sand I think, with convenient metal rings and weighing roughly 4lbs.
After this, when everything was perfect, I found that it was necessary as I increased in girth to use increasing amounts of lubrication to get it on, and this of course is something you are advised not to do. Eventually and inevitably, it slipped off before I could grab it, not very pleasant unless one is a masochist, which I certainly am not, not yet anyway!
I stopped using it completely after finally reaching the recommended 1 hour session, only to find that I couldn’t get it off. I had visions of explaining the scenario to the fire brigade, but eventually, a good few hours later, on pretty much the last attempt, I escaped. Phew! close shave. Luckily, it was at the weekend and I hadn’t planned on going anywhere urgently.
If I had, I think it would have made a pretty impressive, but possibly un-natural looking bulge, even by Mae West standards.
So if anyone would like to have it, they are more than welcome to it, free of charge. In my hands at least, it is scary stuff.
