I’ll try it with a collar too if I can =)

I have a rather tiny neck and body, but will provide my measurements in the review too, if it’ll help? I’ll see if my OH will fit into it too, but I think he’ll be too big.

One thing I have noticed so far is that the arms could be longer as mine only just fit, but I have rather long arms.

When I do write up the review I’ll link it here. It’s a shame because I won’t be able to really try it before Monday, it’s on my desk teasing me 😉

Oh well, I’ll have to write other things in the meantime.

I tried it on today and I found the s/m a bit baggy on me, and my partner whos a size M UK Male was able to fit into it, but feels that a larger size would be better for him.

I got a few pictures and things and should be able to write my review soonish.

it seems ok quality. I feel it allows too much movement, compared to the amount of restriction I wanted from it anyway. The lower strap also comes undone easily.

But I’ll go into more detail in my review.

There are portable steel tripod frames that collapse and take up very little room storage wise. The ones I have seen have been custom made. In terms of affordable, that depends on what you consider affordable, as well as what tools and skills you have at your disposable. If you have the tools, strong mechanical skills and can accurately calculate the weight bearing requirements, you could make your own. In my opinion, wooden frames do not have the same versatility in terms portability and storage, but require less specialized tools to make. In either case, there are various plans available online. There are a few available for sale online that typically cost several hundred dollars, plus shipping/freight. In terms of those available for sale online, my advice would be buyer beware. Make sure you know what you are buying and who you are buying from. The same goes for plans that are available online. Do your homework, do your own calculations, and talk to people who have actually done it.

My first suspension frame was the sex swing people have mentioned. It is a great start for a beginner and can be taken down fairly quickly.

If you have the MONEY, buy a suspension frame. I happen to like:
Bonds of Steel Portable Suspension
with an over sized topper.

if you don’t have the MONEY and don’t understand engineering/construction, go with a playground based bracket solution. Topologist mentioned it earlier in his post:

If you have room for an A-frame design, these corners are affordable and make an ultra sturdy frame. Just add wood. Whole thing can be assembled for under $200 to any dimensions you choose.
If you understand the engineering, wood beam loading wood construction techniques, build a frame over designing it for static/dynamic load and force in any direction of movement. This means you need to know things like how to find good wood in a lumber yard, where holes should go and where cross members should be and how to attach them.

If I was in your shoes with a smooth ceiling, I would cut it open, put in a hard point. Alas, I don’t have smooth ceilings but these swirl pattern which I am in no mood to replicate before moving out.

while you looking for a rigger to work with spend some time looking up rope saftey. asking questions about protecting yourself. Rope groups will teach you saftey but its always good to get a head start. a bunny needs to know if her rigger is making mistakes. it does not mean the rigger is a bad person. anyone can make a mistake.

her shoulders really don’t like her arms being tied behind her back for more than a few minutes
If you can tie a Takatekote then you can certainly construct a Takatekote in the front. The principles of the tie are exactly the same with the exception that it is done with the arms crossed to the front. You simply have to be mindful of her breasts. 😉

You have had a lot of great responses to this inquiry. Mine is the same as several others. Tie the box tie/Takatakote in front. There are several variations to consider | tie with both arms in front and it is the same for a man or a woman | tie with one arm in front and one behind – this works well for someone with a rotator cuff issue – the arm with the issue goes in front.

Here is a link to an I amage of mine that shows this tie on a man | https://fetlife.com/users/76969/pictures/8399575
