Baking my mindwarp Can't Post

Okay, i got my mindwarp, It's been baked but like..nothing's changed. it's still the same is it was when i got it hahaha, what exactly IS suppose to happen when you bake it?
all the padding inside just goes back to it's normal way after half an hour.

Bake it as per instructions put it on your head, wrap a towel around it and twist up the towel to help squeeze it to fit your melon. Ya gotta mash it pretty good.

The padding won't change but the shape of the shell will.

i baked mine twice, and my boyfriend baked his 3 times - to get the fits we wanted. definitely follow the instructions, and when you have it on your head, really mash it tight and hold it. I've got an awesome fit on mine now.

Does the shape change? My buddy got one and did a little baking, but it still looks like a PENIS head? I have seen some people who have Mindwarps that look like they fit decent. Does baking fix this?

Are you sure nothing has changed? Perhaps it's short term memory and motivation are a little degraded?

Does it sit on the couch a lot?

haha does it ever Tongue
Actually the baking did it. I had to bake the sucker 3 times before the shell changes shape.
I just wanted a closer fit. And now i have it Sly
