I eventually got a very cheap single glove that has straps attached to d-rings on the upper end of the glove. Inspired by some very narrow single gloves that come with a t-shaped strap system for the shoulders, I developped a basic method to put it on. For me with my single glove, this is perfectly safe because the glove is too short, I can pull out my arms without even releasing the straps.
Well, this is how to do it:
You need a self-tightening strap or a rope with a slip knot, a ring that is wide enough for the strap or rope to go through twice and slide easily, and a single glove similar to the model on the picture. Pull the strap/rope through the two rings that are on the side of the glove that will point to your back, make a ring that will tighten when you pull the open end. At the same time apply the ring as seen on the picture. Find a hook on the wall or something similar to attach the strap/rope end (perhaps with a ring or loop), then put on the strap like a jacket. Depending on the length of the strap, you might have to put one or both arms into the bag while doing this. Pull tight, done. The ring holds the shoulder strands in place, so it will be hard to impossible to wriggle them off.
As I said, no release method yet, I can pull my arms out when the strap/rope is pulled tight. Oh, and the slip know is quite hard to open if you tie it the way I did, the small end of the knot pointing AWAY from the loop. But you can probably pull it open somehow, on the hook or elsewhere.
Idea: Bind your hands together first, making it much harder to pull out the arms even if the bag is short. If your single glove is as tight as mine, you can tie your hands in a way that is easily undone when the arms are free. Inside the glove, you won't be able to open the tie.
The single glove on the picture is very tight and that might be quite uncomfortable after a short while (though much better than elbow straps). So if you try this out, be careful. I doubt that this type of bondage is good for as long as it takes until you manage to get help. Furthermore, such a short bag needs to be strapped on very tightly and that is better done with wide straps than with rope.
You can probably use any strong bag with rings for this. I actually wanted to try this with a very short bag that requires folded arms, but the bag wasn't wide enough ):
As a matter of fact, only the strands of the rope running from your shoulders over the chest are accessible for attaching to a hook when the rope is tightened which means, when using a long enough mono glove, it is much easier to put it on. Like Ra suggested the use of a safety-belt cutter mounted on the wall for another purpose and this might be a good emergency release here.
If you are not sure what a bolero single glove is, have a look here. This is a modified monoglove, instead of straps over the shoulders it is attached to a bolero, which makes it quite a comfortable and secure bondage garment. Secure enough to require some modification and trickstery in order to be safe for self-bondage. However, before doing anything else, pull the bolero over your neck and close the zipper. Make sure the collar is wide enough to be comfortable. Close the neck strap and remember at which hole it is comfortable. If your shoulders are very wide and strong, the glove might be too small for you. You probably need an assistant to find out. In the worst case, you can return the bolero now, otherwise proceed to the next paragraph.
The original zipper slider on my bolero was bad quality and broke on the first attempt. You might be more lucky, keep it on as long as it lasts.
Close the zipper completely.
Remove the three arm straps.
Turn the jacket inside out and find the end of the zipper. Carefully cut the seam that seals off thends of the zipper - see second and third pictures. The slider can move all the way down and be removed from the zipper, no need to do this now but make sure the zipper ends are really free now - perhaps even pull the slider off and put it back on (see below). This opened end is your safety exit and this is the place where a new slider has to be inserted as well.
Turn the jacket outside out again.
Attach a key-ring to the body of the zipper slider, don't attach it to the handle, because that might come lose. The image here is wrong but I have my reasons for that. Prepare a lace or another piece of string with one loop on each end and pull it through the key ring. Pull one loop of the string through the other, move the other loop up and carefully pull tight.
The bolero is prepared and you only need one more device, made of a string and a clothespin. Attach the string to the clothespin as seen on one of the next pictures, tie a loop to the open end.
Stick the clothespin onto the back opening of the bolero near the collar.
Wear a tight top, preferably with a wide low collar, or no top at all.
Pull the bolero over head and shoulders and slide the arm in that is on the opposite side of the clothespin. Adjust the shoulder part and zipper line on this side as well as possible. Now attach the string of the clothespin to a hook or anything else suitable and slide in your other arm. Use the string to pull the second shoulder in place. You might feel trapped already but it should be no problem to get out one arm again. If you want to proceed, pull hard to get the clothespin off. Now the tricky part: You need to get hold of the end of the zipper string and attach it to a hook that is around your shoulder height. Once done, carefully align the string in a straight line from the zipper over your shoulder to the hook. Put your hands together, straighten your arms as well as possible and carefully pull the zipper. If it seems to block somewhere on the way, pull it down a little and try again. Never pull hard. If you have severe trouble, make sure in a mirror, that the zipper line not wrinkled or perhaps even goes off one arm. When you reach the top of the zipper, you are done and may remove the string from the hook. In order to get free, attach the string to the hook again and pull the other way this time (who would have thought...). The first few centimeters can be hard. Take your time, pull back and forth, give it a gently yank sideways etc. You aren't stuck, it is just not convenient, if you can't open it this way. If you can't open the zipper this way, sigh, then grab the lower ends of the zipper, one with each hand, press a finger nail onto the line of the dents and pull it apart (you might want to practise before you put on the bolero for real). Pull it open further up, eventually it will pop open up to the slider. Take out one arm and try to pull the slider down far enough to still get the other arm out and then your head. If this doesn't work (does't for me), pull the slider off on one side. Instructions for repair come in the next paragraph.
Zipper repair (you need pliers here)
Turn the bolero inside out, find the ends of the zipper, think a moment to figure out the correct orientation of the slider and insert one end of the zipper a few millimeters. Insert the other end and then work the slider up carefully. This isn't exactly easy, but doable, take your time. If the zipper closes behind the slider, it is fine, if not, the sides are too wide open, so use pliers to press the sides of the slider together a bit until it works. You can move the slider back to close the end of the zipper, then move it up to the top to see if it works correctly. Press the sides together a bit more using the pliers - this needs some experience but you will figure out. If it doesn't slide well, it is too narrow, if the zipper doesn't close, it is way too wide. If you got the same zipper as my bolero, the slider will eventually break because of this manipulation and you will need a replacement. Sliders can be bought, you only need to know the type of the zipper (most probably the same as mine - spiral zipper), the width and thickness - well, keep the broken slider and bring it to the shop. If you are lucky, you can find a suitable slider on an old zipper.
Well, this is about it. The method needs improvement, such as a lockable zipper end, perhaps timed release etc. It is probably hard to impossible to use the arm straps for self bondage, at least not tightly. But if you find a way, post it here 😊 If you feel comfortable about it, close the neck strap. But remember, if you pull the string through the neck strap, you won't be able to open the zipper and have to use the emergency exit, which degrades both, zipper and slider slowly.
Future features: I succeded to add a second slider that would open the zipper from below, making the emergency release less degrading for zipper and slider. If I can find a suitable tailor, I will have some metal parts been sewn into the collar edges, to stabilize the zipper and make sure it can be opened more easily by the string. If you use a real long string for the zipper, you can double it, make one loop into each end, pull it half through and put a something on one side to prevent it from sliding through. Pull close using one loop on the hook, pull off using the other loop. Use the emergency release to get free.
If you have any questions, remarks, ideas or if you see safety issues, please post here, so we can discuss. It would be nice to hear when you have succeeded to use my method.
I bet lots of self-bondagers dream about single-gloves. Despite monogloves are considered "don't even try them alone", let's keep all ideas in one place.
...and what better costume to show off your hosed legs than Elvira, Mistress of the Dark?
As far as I know these guys are both official ManVira's:
Patterson Lundquist
and Cassandra Fever:
This could be either, but as the real Elvira is driving the 'Macabremobile' it's one or the other:
Following is a latex rubber link pretty much devoted to women in catsuits and related attire. Exceptionally well done photography, both on set and with some taken outside and admittedly better than my best efforts. A plethora of images which may appeal to more than a few. I need remember not to over drool with envy. The site is German so should your German be in lack (like mine) I'll suggest you use a translation page. My fav model is Suzi-Anne of which I included a sample image. She is simply scrumptious with an incredible variety of facial expressions, great eyes, an equally great smile and that's just for starters. Take a look and determine make a determination for yourselves.
