Having arm up changes where the pit crease is I'd suggest taking a photo with your arm down but you look very close at least or past it!

Why don't you just call milestones stretched? It might make you feel better. Or measure both! Then you can post in two length topics :D

( I'm not even part of this length phase and I still post here 😂 )

Yeah, I never noticed till I started trying to take photos to see if I'd reached APL how much the position of the armpit changes depending on what I'm doing with my arms, if I'm standing up straight with my shoulders back vs slouching.

Agreed.

I like using a towel wrapped across my back and tucked into armpits. Its such a easy and definitive check.

It's easier than the pit crease at least I once did a towel check and was told it looked more like bsl 😂

Ohh great points everyone!
Kathie that towel idea is genius!! :o

I think I’m able to call it!! It just barelyyyy meets the mark though hahaha

"Can I call it" Is a thing, I use that all the time to call milestones

Thanks, _Melly_! You'll be with us before you know it!

I'm so bad at knowing when to call it - what do you all think? (If I have time, I'll go back 10 years in this thread to try to see when I called it last time.)
What I really want is my puffy length to be APL when dry/unstretched but it feels like that will never happen. It grows OUT rather than DOWN.
