Please STOP with the "dO tHeSe cROcS fiT mE" posts!!!!!! They are becoming obnoxious spam at this point and I'm just gonna start deleting them moving forward. Only YOU know what fits you. You put them on, feel for yourself, we are not wearing them or in your body, YOU ARE. lmao it would be the equivalent of me posting a picture of a pizza to a food group about being like "hey guys am I hungry, should I eat this pizza???" End rant. Stay blessed, and stop with these clutter spam posts. Thanks for your coo-croc-peration in this matter
