Fans Try to Replicate Effects of Hestia's String

@aiya23mt08cos demonstrates with this video that the string would have no effect. "Conclusion: It's hard to move and it eats into my arms," she writes. She clarifies that she isn't wearing a bra and that her breasts weigh about 4 kilograms (or 9 pounds), but that size has nothing to do with it. "They won't lift because boobs are made of fat!!!!!! Try it and you'll see!!!!!"

@keno_kasumi was more successful in her trial, although she affirmed that the strings really cut into her arms.

@sekaisouzousin tried wearing a string as well.

@kiyoshi_666 confirmed that her arms were unusable and "the lace pattern left a mark, but oh well."

@z_n_c_890_P summarized the findings, stating that if the string was placed as it is in the anime — right against the body — there's no way the breasts can be lifted, since there isn't enough tension. To get the right amount of lift, the string must be placed further out underneath the breasts themselves. @z_n_c_890_P also theorized that looping the string around the whole body, as in the anime, wouldn't generate enough tension to lift the breasts.
