dang

but you should try messing with them hehe,.. try one on your head and then one on your neck

one of my friends did it today, its kinda like getting an extremely tight hug on your neck

i sooo want to do it to myself lol... id probably fall asleep from how comforting the pressure is...

No thanks, I'd rather keep my head on my body

I must say, I have never tried on a blood pressure cuff except on my arm. Next time I see one I will try it.

are you seriously afraid of your head popping off... human heads dont pop off like barbies... trust me...

my best friend in the UK did it today, heres the video!

YOUTUBE IT PLEASE!! !

its always funny seeing people trying them on oddball places, like heads and necks and hands

I was being sarcastic, but I don't like things clamping down of sensitive parts of my body

see i love having things tight around my head and neck and anywhere on my body, but especially my head and neck, and my belly... those are my three places i absolutely LOVE pressure...

I like the feeling of pressure being taken off, but only for a bit, then it gets kinda annoying

for some reason i really dont like it when my doctor has to take it off lol... i wish i could just leave the office with it on,.. haha, hey doc im keeping this, bye!

I have my own blood pressure machine! The cuff just goes around the wrist though. So, I can take it any time I wish!

wrist cuff machines are o...k but those electronic ones bore me to tears, you have no control over the pressure, and the size of the cuff makes it useless for anything really useful like giving some deep pressure on your head or neck (not with intention to choke, but to add deep pressure, not enough pressure to choke) or arm or hand or foot or leg, this is where a good manual large cuff comes nicely, i like the manual ones better anyways since you control the pressure, and also the automatic ones are usually made of some weird material while the manual ones are always made from an ultra soft and silky nylon.

They ALWAYS put it on the children's one, and it hurts like there's no tomorrow!
I'm sick of them, I have it twice a day at the moment!

they use a pediatric cuff on me since my arms are small, it still gets REALLY tight, but i like it really tight.

i love them, why are you getting it twice a day?

Pressure's on topic

Blood pressure can vary over the course of a day, and depends on meds use, age, state of general wellness, acute/chronic illness, gender, nutrition and mental health. Some ethnic groups are more prone to high BP, and a high saturated fat diet and liberal salt use can send it through the roof, making one more prone to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

indeed, i am also kinda interested in the data it creates, it would be fun to be hooked up to one all the time 24/7/365 and make cool charts of all the data...

but more interesting to me than the numbers you get are the cuffs lol.. i am such a tactile person its embarrasing because people expect you to be intellectual.
