      Don‘t know if this is the right board chapter… - if not, please move properly.

      I‘d just like to report my experiences with the Inchmaster waist expander and ask for similar experiences.

      Background is, my 777-UHR has become a little tight in the waist. Either I gained some weight or it it shrank too much. It was still in the period of breaking in, so just two soaks and some wear.
      Nevertheless, at the end I wasn‘t really able to close it without some efforts and squeezing myself in. Wear was not really comfortable.

      So I stumbled across the Inchmaster (German: Bunddehner) available for around 20 €/$/£ at several sources in the internet. There are several brands but it seems to be the same device. It had enough good reviews to give it at least a try.

      I was a bit sceptical if this plastic device could handle the 23oz. double waist band of the UHR beast.
      To make it short: it can!

      Action is quite easy: Simply wet the waistband, put the device in and stretch stepwise. Keep wet during the stretching period. I did this repeatedly for 6 hours and let dry over night with the Inchmaster in.

      I gained about an inch in the waist so now I am able to close and wear it comfortably.

      So this little thing works quite well even with heavy denim.

      And it is good to know that there is a little „backup“ when jeans or other pants become a bit tight in the waist  😎

      So maybe this is useful for others.

      Any other experiences with this thing?

      Best wishes and a sunny weekend!

        That is interesting, thanks for sharing.

        Would you mind sharing a picture of the device? Also would it also be effective for stretching thigh areas or would the design not permit it?

              actually I‘m not at home to take a pic.
              But Google is your friend. I could post an Amazon pic but don‘t like to due to copyright issues…
              The wood version is rather restricted in length. The plastic version is much cheaper and offers extension tubes to cover a wide waist range.
              It‘s better to torture your pants a bit than the other way around...  😉

                It won‘t work for the thigh areas since the points of pressure are just a few cm/inches high. In addition, the minimal length won‘t fit into the thighs.

                      And that‘s inside the box…
                      Several extension parts which can be stacked. Length of one extension meets the length of the inner thread of the handle.
