    I always thought of MBL as BSL for men. (That may just be me.)

    Definitely easier to say that it is the abyss between BSL and Waist or BSL equivalent on Men.
    It's most definitely not going to be the widest part of the torso on many people. It's only a few inches on me between BSL and Waist and it's certainly not the widest part of my torso

    I decided to call it MBL once it was all the way past my big fat quadruple-hooked orthopedic bra-band, even dry, and unstraightened.

    So for me there is significant overlap between "MBL" and "can I call this waist?"

    Sounds like me! I guess I'm really high-waisted or something! My waist is just around 2" below BSL. In which case, MBL would be below WL!! Huh, maybe I am a mutant too!!

    Actually, on me, my BSL to waist length isn't that long. Waist to TB seems longer. But maybe I'm just high-waisted. ?

    Keep your head up, makes your hair look longer! Only micro-trimming from here on out!!! YAY!!

    On a different forum I was told to measure my actual back - from the top of the round spot on my spine where my neck meets shoulders down to the top of my tailbone. Mine measures in somewhere between 22-23 inches (still a bit confused about what part of the tailbone to measure to exactly, 'top' is subjective). From that same round spot above my shoulders I measure how far my hair goes down past it. About 12-12.5 inches on me, so my hair roughly reaches the middle of my back. It also happens to fall a little past the bottom of my bra band (which seems to be this forum's marker). Might as well use the bra band to gauge it, it's much easier.

    MBL is classified as the bottom of the ribs, form what I have read. Its the half way point between bsl and waist.

    Hmm. Waist and bottom of my ribs are the same place on me.

    I always figured it was... mid-back...lol...and that is the same as BSL on me (half way between shoulders and hip bones)

    BSL to waist is only like 3" for me. It is waist to TBL that is huge, like 8"- 9". I guess that is why there is also hip length, which is also very subjective. I go by my hip bones, since how heavy I am makes my fleshy hips change too much. Waist to hip is 5.5", hip to TBL is 3.5".

    Gee, I don't think I will ever cut above hip now. LOL

    TBL - classic is about 4" for me.
