Discussion Bathrobe belt

[az1989az]

I wonder if bathrobe belts are effective for hanging...I've been thinking about it for a while and it's the most convenient tool I have at hand

Just curious if it can really press on the carotid arteries. I'm quite fat so my arteries have been buried a bit too deep.

Well it´s been done before but they are not that strong I heard about other members who tried and it broke so it´s a bit risky.

Not as strong...as in what way? I thought it'd not break since it looks pretty tight. although I have questions about what type of knot I should use too...

Well it depends on your weight I have seen pictures of people using a bathrope belt and for knots I am not sure.

Well I weigh about 240 pounds. Finding a proper indoor thing to hang myself on is also a problem

Then I am certain the bathrope belt will break.

The material is perfect. You can do a test by setting it up and pulling with all your weight.

It's what I'm planning on using (unless something better presents itself by the time I'm ready)

I guess it depends on the material and as others have said, whether it will hold your weight. I'm guessing you'd want a material that readily tightens without getting snagged? So for example, a towelling belt might not be suitable
