When are you really considered BSL?

[casey3035]

Silly question? Maybe...But I am asking this because I notice a lot of young ladies claiming BSL such as myself-but I can see that some of there bras sit way up high on their backs. I made sure I tried to pull my bra down in the back so that I would not look like I was trying to cheat myself.

I am 5'4 and just wanting to know is there a more accurate way to determine if you are really BSL or not...TIAerplexed

 

[Odd One]

Some members like to say BSB = below shoulder blades length because bsl varied on many of us (the only length based on clothing and not a part of the body)

 

[casey3035]

Thanks for the quick reply! Bumping for more replies...TIA

All my bras hit at a different spot so BSB is my BSL measurement. The bottom of my shoulder blades does not change.

 

[casey3035]

Thats a good way of looking at it Natural Tobe...Thanks!

you are bsl or bsb when your hair hits the bottom of shoulder blades. simple

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

i wish people would just measure by below shoulder blade cuz some folks bras be cuttin into the meat of their armpit its so high. ♥

 

[Barbie83]

^^^^right

Another way to tell is whether the hair is in direct alignment with your nipple. That would be a clear indication of BSL.

What if your nipple is by your belly button? Serious question. Not everyone's sit high and tight mama.

Yeah but what if your nipples align with your belly buttonerplexed LOL...I'm just kidding...but for real doe-some ladies may have a little sag. Maybe you can align with the bra on so that your boobs are lifted first...

mmmm......no............dont thinks so.....

 

[GabbanaGirl]

Thank you!!!! I have been wondering for quite some time now...I didn't want to cheat myself either...so I got the lowest bra I could find.

What about MBL? Is there any clear cut indicator of that?

you ladies are TOO funny. ITA, BSL should be measured by BSB

MBL is a little more complicated. im 5'2 so for me is about 2 1/2 inches past bsl

No, it's true, we're not all equipped with perky boobs! I did more mean when the boobs are in the bra. If you're wearing the right size bra there shouldn't be any droopage, well in theory.

Hell just go with the below shoulder blade measurement, it's much easier and more accurate.

Soooo.If BSL is the bottom of the shoulder blade then are you saying MBL is about 2-3 inches below the shoulder blade.From what I have read and observed, WL would be the belley button. BSL and MBL has had me a little clueless.erplexed

well im mbl and my hair is actually four inches past shoulder blades. i need about two or three more inches to be wL. it depends on how tall you are. some people skip mbl and go right to wL lol.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

can somebody explain this better please.

 

[sharifeh]

My bra sits low on my back so I feel like my BSL is pretty much MBL. Is anyone else like this?

Is it more comfortable to wear your bra so high up? Do people just shorten the straps?
I'm not knocking it since I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine how it feels to have my bra strap so close to my shoulders. lol

 

[sharifeh]

Here is a picture that people use...
MBL seems to line up right under the breast (well a perky breast or a breast in a bra )

This chart has MBL pretty far from wl
It does really depend on torso size...

 

[I Am So Blessed]

mbl is bottom of shoulder blade. thats it!!! thats ezz

hysterical. That is kind of how I felt, however I don't think I am at MBL yet. My brastrap is about 1.5-2 inches under my shoulder blade though. I still think I have a 3 or so more inches...hell who knows.

Your hair is gorge...(just got done stalking your fotki)

 

[I Am So Blessed]

gabbanagirl!!!! i was just thinking the same about your hair. its lovely... and very healthy looking! i agree that you need about 3 more inches. but 3inches flys by in no time.

Yeah my hair actually comes a couple inches below my blade but I don't think I am MBL yet...thats why I am a part of the 2010 MBL challenge...
