A few days ago, I got the new one, size TL, wich is meant for large slim persons.
First impressions:
The fabric is not the same, this one is thinner but denser; I like it better. The other one was like PVC-coated fleece.
It seems as strong as the other one, but it is slightly see-through, especially when stretched.
Size is slimmer. Strange enough, apparently, asian people also get fat on the head, because the hood section here is slightly slimmer too, but not shorter, so it does fit.
There are no strings coming with the item this time. I didn't expect them anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Before I tried it on, I cut a small hole into the hood near my mouth. It is tiny, but allows me to breathe almost normally.
I entered my feet first, then knees, until the legs were in the right kneeling position. Much snugger than the first one, but exactly the right length.
Then put the hood on and closed the hood zipper down to the neck, where it doesn't tend to slide up again.
Now, as described in a previous post, I pulled the string while shifting and straightening the fabric and the zipper. This took a few minutes, until finally, the zipper arrived near my neck, where it came to a rest without downward tension.
Then I looked for the arm rings (see previous post for exact description of the bag), which are fairly high. I managed to get both my arms in, so I had my hands resting on the other forearms and held in place by the rings. However, these rings are quite small and I heard a lot of cracking while moving my hands through. This is a very weak spot! Anyway, The initial idea was, that the bag was so tight, that you wouldn't be able to pull the arms to the side and get out (or into) the rings. This failed completely. The bag is pretty tight, but not that tight. It might, however, be possible, to lock the arms either in front or at the back, by applying a belt around the hips (outside of the bag). But I have no idea, how to do that safely in self-bondage, so it is not an option for me.
Well, this concludes the experiment. I don't need to try any other size and I am out of ideas for a better use. It is not a complete failure, and if I care to make a reasonable opening in the hood, it might be suitable for sleeping. I cannot sleep in bondage, but I did sleep in sleeping bags a
eady. But for the moment, I will store it away.
This bag could be interesting with arms tied inside. But that would make it really difficult to close the zipper, so not a solo option...
