They can be but I’ve adjusted to them! I’ve been wearing it almost solidly since 2019 so I’m pretty used to it now. I turn it round on my wrist so it trails over the back of my hand if it’ll get in the way of my palm and when I’m cleaning I sometimes put a sweat band over it to keep from getting in the way or tuck the tassels into a hair tie. I have got it caught in places a few times so I do have to be mindful but I love it and never take it offI thought so! How do you find the dangling tassels? Are they annoying?
