    We have to go by weight not volume. Better grab a scale.

    You seem inappropriately angry.

    I personally like it when people wear clothing that flatters them rather than not.

    yep. small and kinda oval (although the ones in the pic look kinda round.). People grow them here.

    Hmmm I am apple shaped or whatever you want to call it. I have a lot of abdominal fat. I don't need a magazine to tell me what to wear but it is good to know that I am at a risk for cardiovascular disease

    We have to go by weight not volume. Better grab a scale.

    According to the database, we have extra small (less than 6" long), small (6" - 6 7/8" long), medium (7" - 7 7/8" long), large (8" - 8 7/8" long) and extra large (9" or longer). *waits patiently*

    Hell no. That chart says I'm ATHLETIC so it's clearly awesome and everyone should rely on that. :laugh:
