sporran placement!

[I M Kilted!]

Ouch! Methinks it was too well loaded, and as TH said, a might too low. I have never had that problem and it must be uncomfortable. Are you sure it was not all the kilt checks that caused the tenderness??

Ouch! yep, it hurts...sorta like a very uncomfortable and painful ache...not cool!

I was dancing for about 3 hours, so it might be the weight over the amount of time that was making it painful or perhaps it was too low.

Does the sporran rest above or infront of the "package"?

What is a "kilt check"?

You must have packed the sporran to the max.

mabye, but it did'nt look packed. The two cameras were about 3.5"x2"x1" and my money clip is a standard size, I placed the cameras side by side vertically inside the sporran and I put the money clip and my cards on top.

Ah, the innocence of youth.

just joking!

Is it a kilt lift or is it when someone runs into you on purpose to feel/see the kilt...i've had both...

I was 99% certain that was the case.

...ice 'em down and get back in there!

Seriously, I'm a proponent of wearing auxilliary belt pouches to take up some of the weight...it's just that we seem to carry too much stuff now...I can't be rummaging around trying to get the cell phone out before the other party hangs up...that Stillwater cargo sporran looks a bit better organized than most so I'm sure that I'll grab one soon. I think that it's better to distribute the weight and keep somethings seperate so that they're not banging against one another in the sporran.

...I hope that your injury didn't interfere with any apres-prom plans.

Thompson recommends one hand from the navel, others say one hand from the bottom of the kilt belt (i.e. about a hand and a half)(which I think is about right). If you're dancing, shift the sporran round onto your left hip.

I'm with AA,

Been looking for some belt pouches...figure they're made for police duty belts in all sorts of sizes. Would like maybe two, one on each side.

My favorite sporran placement is in my dresser drawer so I can wear a vest with pockets for my stuff, or wear a kilt with pockets.

Understand you were at a formal gig though.

If you had your sporran on a sporran strap or (gag) chain, you can spin it to one side, out of the way.

Sometimes I think what keeps more men from kilting up is the dreaded sporran.

apres-prom...no comment...but I have been looking at some belt pouches. I like some of 'em, but I prefer the look of the sporran...I do feel better today though as I am not sore anymore, I need to find a good sporran with a well fitting strap, perhaps i'll go to a scottish store to try one on and get a good fit. I still have a feeling that it is the constant dancing and moving around for a few hours, but then again, it might be the sporran weight issue...who knows, i'll ave to test it out ;)
