Re: band shifting over the eye

[Guest guest]

We just got our hanger helmet on monday and they said that for about 2

weeks the helmet could slop around a little. He said it's a good thing

because you know there is enough room in there for them to grow into it.

Does it bother him?

no, it does not seem to bother him - it is reassuring that other

people have the same issue. I guess I will see what it does over

the next week or so. Thanks!

The shifting can be normal for the first wk or so. Just keep an eye

on it, and make sure that there are no red spots. It should start

filling in soon.

Hi! My Daughter, , got her Hanger Band a about 2.5 weeks ago.

Like you've been told by a few of the other members, some shifting, esp

in the very beginning, is very normal. 's Band shifted a little

in the beginning, but fit very nicely after about a week or so. Just

watch out for any red spots or irritation.

Good luck!
