Default Uppers that hold onto something

A month or 2 back just tried out some ways for my upper pitchers to get hold onto something.......Some say that upper pitchers need support to form and if they don't they rarely form or it'll be smaller.....Some say it doesn't matter...But in my case i found out that upper pitchers of my miranda seems to like to have something to wrap over while forming and if it didn't the pitchers are much smaller almost half the size...

For example this 2 pics are upper pitchers which held on to something


This 1 seems thinner and flared peristome


For this pitcher i purposely did not let it wrap and look at the size difference with the one that held onto something


And this is the "something" i use for my uppers to hold onto something and it works
