Lockable clothes. Part II. Lockable zippers
If your garment has zippers, the sliders, pulls or the entire zippers can be replaced with a lockable version.
Lockable pulls
Works if you have two sliders.
Sliders with hasps
Also two sliders are needed. Hasp sliders/zippers are the easiest to find and the most secure/reliable solution. Such zippers are used in, for example, backpacks and bags.
Hasp sliders by Ansun (search for “pad lock”)
Key lock sliders
The most invisible and discreet way.
YKK product code: 5M(Y) DK1B
I could not find the lockable slider on Opti site.
See what’s available on eBay.

Very good survey on the theme of lockable zippers, Lika!
I never knew there were so many diferent ones.
You will not find them at OPTI websites anymore: Opti industrial wholesale in Winschoten (NL) discontinued these lockable sliders for system 10 zippers in 1995. I bought everything they had and still have a couple of thousend left.
They work very well, ideal for BDSM purposes. One turn of the key and the slider will not slide anymore and you are locked in. Only way out is tear things to shreds, but you will surely think twice in your expensive tightfitting black leather designer dress….

I once read about another method of securing zippers which works well on zippers that end in a collar: You need a chain or lockable belt that you wrap around your neck and simply connect this to the zipper handle with a slim padlock. The only alternative release to getting rid of the padlock is to shred the garment or cut off your head :D

For public wearing there is another very easy, but slightly destructive way to lock a zipper in place. This method only works on zippers with a safety catch that prevents slider from moving when there is no pressure on the pull. It is also most effective on small size, hard to access (e.g. back zipper) sliders.
Cut off the pull from the slider using a wire cutter, and thread a paper clip or similar thin item through the opening in the slider.
Now, once the zipper is pulled up, remove the paper clip and the safety catch should keep the zipper in place. The safety catch is not very strong, but if the slider is small like on my leotards, it is impossible to get a grip on the slider or exert any pull on it without tools.
I wear back zipped leotards under my clothes as much as I can. This method was so effective I had to rip a leotard to shreds (sounds easier than it is) once for a bathroom emergency.

Saying “bathroom” do you mean “toilet”? Couldn’t the bottom part of the leotard simply moved to the side? At least it works for me.
But if you mean “shower” -- it’s a different story.
Poor leotard…

The leotard was the top layer, under which I had (at least) a unitard in the way. So, sadly, there was no “moving to one side” option.
Despite the financial setback (poor leotard, indeed) “jail breaking” out of locked clothes is very exiting. I was a bit disappointed that I was able to, as struggling to get out felt sooooo good.
I need to find myself a stronger leotard so I can struggle all I want but loose in the end, with all the (humiliating) consequences…

This is not something I have tried yet, but perhaps a plastic cable tie could be very effective to secure the zip. Alternatively, if the tie doesn’t fit through the zip pull, then perhaps it could be looped under the swimsuit/leotard straps and around the neck to prevent easy romoval that way.
