    Default How long are the abysses for you?

    I know, I know, the mid-back abyss is a thing because we don't really have any body markers but it got me thinking about other "abysses".

    For me, there's the BCL to classic abyss. BCL on me is 36. Classic is 45. Given MBL on me is ~25, and waist is 30, my BCL to classic abyss is actually much longer.

    What about the rest of you?

    Measuring unstretched because flexibility is dumb.

    My length is just past inferior shoulder blade. There appears to be a vast chasm ahead for me to reach posterior superior iliac spine, the area some call tailbone. Mid back length is not a marker I will be using as it’s vague; I need set markers. Outside of those I’m not even measuring, too depressing!

    TBL to Classic is about 8 inches
    MTL - Knee is about 8 inches
    MCL -Ankle is another 8 inches
    if I measured right
    The rest are about 2-4 inch difference

    Reading this thread I realized all my milestones takes a similar amount of inches. Something similar to 3 inches, in some cases more, in other less.
    Anyway, my longest gaps seems HL to BCL (where I am now), about 4 inches. BCL to CL to me takes 6 inches, but I usually consider also TBL ( in order: 36,6 - 38,9 - 42,5). CL to FTL should be about 5 inches. MTL to knee, again 4 inches.
    I speak for stretched hair. My loose waves eat between 1 and 2 inches.

    Er, I don't know where MBL is on me. SL to APL then to BSL are both 4.5", so not too bad. I was a kid when I had hair that length so I don't remember anyway (plus they would have been shorter distances). Waist and hip are only an extra couple of inches each.

    BCL to CL 7" (TBL less than halfway)

    Classic to knee was 12"; I broke that up into quarters of the thigh to stay sane so each 3" was a mini milestone.

    Knee to ankle would be 13.5" if I can get there. I don't know if I can and it's tricky to measure (plus being visually at a milestone is different from the absolute measurements) so I'm just noting progress with gradually longer pairs of leggings

    (My milestone measurements if anyone is curious.)
    Length goal well and truly met, now just seeing how it grows ...
    Picky scalp but easygoing hair, thank goodness

    My measurements...
    MBL Abyss (BSL->TBL): 10"
    Butt?Abyss (TBL->Classic): 8"
    Thigh Abyss (Classic->Knee): 12"
    Calf Abyss (Knee->Ankle): 14"

    The calf region abyss is the roughest for me... I've been here for a while, but I'm slowly cutting back anyway to even up my hemline.
