When I first started practicing partial it did not work for me at all. There was immense pain, like someone was standing on my neck, a horrible build-up of pressure in my head and no signs that I was anywhere close to losing consciousness.
But... from rope I changed to dupatta, which made it a bit better, and recently I discovered that a soft material belt with a ring-like buckle makes all the difference. The buckle instead of a slipknot is literally a godsend. Now after about 3 seconds I begin to black out, the pain is more like discomfort than real pain and when I stand up there is this amazing tingly feeling all over my body and it just feels reaallly good - so I find myself practicing now just for that feeling. Someone on this forum described it perfectly: it's like a ghost made of opioids has just given you a hug. One more important thing which I've said before but just a reminder: remember to put ALL your weight down at once. Otherwise it will not work. It will work best if you take your feet off the ground and are fully suspended.
My main intention in making this thread is... if partial seems like your only option but you are fed up with it having no effect, don't completely give up hope. The belt changed everything for me. I used to think god Robin Williams just killed himself using a belt and doorknob why the hell is partial not working for me no matter how hard I try? Now I know the secret just lies in that belt...
love and hugs to everyone
EDIT: I forgot to add, the buckle is more in the front, just underneath the left ear! It's much less painful than having it at the back
