floppy arm thingy
#21
Yup--me, too. :thumbdown: I inherited the floppy-arm genes from my mother's side of the family--who also had "bosoms" that looked to be stuffed with the entire contents of a feather bed. As a child, I'd just look at them and wonder when do they get those. Actually, I entertain my gk's with rides-hanging off om floppy arms--"Hang on now, kids, we'll do a loop-de-loop!"
When shopping for tops, I'm always searching for the longer filmy butterfly-type sleeves--not the easiest things to find but well worth the search!

I have floppy arms and cottage cheese thighs, but I wear shorts and tank tops in the summer. I have reached the age that I don't care what people think about me. I feel comfortable, so people will have to be careful to not get hit by my floppy arms.

my arms are not that floppy, but i still don't go sleeveless in public. like others here, i wish there were more longer sleeves. in fact, i have psoriasis that is not completely helped medically, so i prefer 3/4 length to cover the elbows. i have been known to knit my own cotton sweaters to achieve that.

I have never figured out why women get arms like this. Mine are getting floppier every year and I hate it. Where does all that extra skin come from? My arms were never that fat that they should have that much skin on them!

Try being 5'5 and 110lbs (I look thinner-no one believes I weigh over 100 lbs). I never wore tanks when I was younger because I was so thin. Now at 48 and 8 yrs into menopause, I've gain only a couple lbs and don't give a rip what other people think. I won't wear spahgetti straps because of the bony shoulders.
As far as the flapping, yeah, I've got that going. I was told that men have 3 muscles and we only have 2 and it's the bottom one we're missing. Would love to know a quick way to firm up-alot.

Lands End has shirts with elbow length sleeves. I have seen them other places, but have only bought one from Lands End. I love it. It's just the right length. Some places call them half sleeve. They are a little bit cooler than the 3/4 sleeve shirts.
