Different Design from Regular Makes LARGE Donner Unusable--DO NOT BUY!!!
I should have read the review posted on January 18, 2018 that explained why the LARGE donner doesn't work. I have the regular donner. I can use it but thought the large donner would be more comfortable. I expected it to be made like the regular only in a larger size. Unfortunately, once I received the LARGE donner and placed it next to the regular it was easy to see why no one can make it work. The "legs" of the guide for the regular donner measure 4 1/2 inches at the top and 4 1/2 inches at the point that is 5 inches down from the top. So the "legs" are parallel to one another top to bottom. Once you stretch the stocking over the opening, it is easy to slide it down the donner "legs" and get the entire stocking in position for donning. The "legs" of the guide for the LARGE donner are not arranged this way. They measure 6 inches across the top but 7 1/2 inches at the point that is 6 inches down from the top. Instead of the legs on the LARGE donner being parallel, they are flared widely at the bottom. So although you can stretch the stocking 6 inches across the top with not much effort, as you slide the stocking down and try to get it into position, the flare is so extreme that the stocking just slides right back up to the top as soon as you remove your hands to try to continue putting the stocking on the donner. It will not stay in place because the flare is too severe. This is a design flaw. I was expected to pay for the return shipping. Although the item is not really heavy, it does require a large box making the return shipping likely to eat up any refund I expected to get for my purchase price. So I am stuck with a LARGE donner that by its very design is not able to be used as intended. Here are pictures showing both donners side by side so you can see how the flare is the issue. I have used some fabric to block parts of the donner so that the picture highlights the problem area. Hope this helps you to see how the unit is designed to NOT work as intended. DO NOT BUY THE LARGE DONNER.
