Help Questions about full suspension hanging

[SuicideKitty]

So I have few questions.
1. What length of rope should I use? I've heard that a good polyester material will do. How can I ask the seller about the maximum weight that the rope can withstand without arousing suspicion? I weigh around 50kg~ and don't look like a construction person at all.

2. I'm planning to book a hostel. What is the best place in the apartment to fix a rope?

3. Since getting benzos may be a problem, would MDMA be suitable to calm anxiety and would it cause difficulties with choking?

1. Your rope should be long enough to (i) tie into a noose at neck level with one end and (ii) tie a knot around your anchor point with the other. If you're doing full suspension in a hostel, I'd guesstimate that you'd need maybe 5-6 feet of rope? But you can always buy longer rope and cut off what you don't need. Polyester, nylon, and polypropylene seem to be the consensus choices for rope material - I'm personally using nylon, but I've seen other people make it work with polyester and polypropylene. You also want the rope to be braided, not twined, and it should be 10-12mm wide. As for asking the seller, I ordered online for that reason :D That said, maybe you can say that you're interested in rock climbing and need a rope that will hold several times your body weight for that reason? Do a bit of research into what would make a good climbing rope before going in though, if you plan on using that excuse. EDIT: Did a little more digging and saw that ropes sold in stores should have weight ratings on the label? So might not even need to ask a seller anything.

2. This seems like it might be worth your time to read: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...an-airbnb-for-full-suspension-hanging.176345/ . Generally speaking, you can test if something is a suitable anchor point by tying your rope to the anchor point, grabbing the rope with your hands, pulling yourself off the ground, and shaking/swinging around for a few seconds. If after doing all that, the anchor point feels stable/doesn't break, then it's a suitable anchor point. If not, then not.

3. Not an expert on MDMA, but the brief research I did suggests it might be a bad idea. Apparently its effects are unpredictable, and it could very well cause you to freak out more than if you didn't take it at all. With that said, if it's something you've taken regularly and it has a consistent anti-anxiety effect for you, then might be worth a shot? Not sure what difficulties with choking you mean - MDMA shouldn't have any impact on the mechanism of action of full suspension, if that's what you're getting at.

Godspeed, and keep us posted o7

I see you make a lot of good, informative posts. Out of curiosity, why did you choose a nylon rope? Was it a deliberate choice, and if yes, what were your reasons? Or did you just happen to buy it by chance?

Thanks >.< I chose nylon rope for the following reasons:

1. Whether looking on SaSu or in the BDSM rigging community, nylon, polyester, and propylene ropes seem to be the consensus choices for suspension due to their sturdiness, weight bearing, and relative inelasticity. So that ruled out other materials for me.
   
   
2. Nylon and polypropylene are more "slippery" than polyester - that is, there is less friction when nylon or polypropylene slides against itself than there is when polyester does. This suggests to me that nylon and polypropylene will cinch their nooses tighter and faster around one's neck than polyester, which will make unconsciousness occur quicker as a result. So to me, at least, nylon and polypropylene > polyester.
   
   
3. I don't have much experience with polypropylene, so take this last point with a grain of salt. But anecdotally, it seems some people (though not all) find nylon to be at least a little softer a material than polypropylene. I have fibromyalgia, which makes pain feel *real* bad, so I'll take any additional comfort I can get when it comes to rope. So to me, at least, nylon >= polypropylene.

With all that said, I'm not aware of any statistics indicating that attempts with nylon are more successful than attempts with any other material. And I'm aware of plenty of folks who have successfully CTB with polyester and polypropylene. So do with all this information what you will!

So i bought polypropylene rope 12mm around 2 meters long. Maked a knot and im such a pussy I cant even manually strangle myself because rope hurts my skin. I will try buy something to put under tommorow. Anyway im gonna use this method if my SN will not arive.

I consider myself to have a relatively high pain tolerance, but I can't manage to make myself pass out by manually pulling on a rope either (or belt or anything). In my experience, the way to do it is to throw the rope over something that allows easy sliding without the risk of the rope getting stuck, and hold the other end in my hand. Only this way can I create enough pressure, and I really have to lean into it with full force. Don't try to create pressure by pulling on the rope – that won't work. Just hold the rope in position, and create pressure by lowering yourself. It'll be uncomfortable, but if you do it quickly and without holding back, it should work. Important: Don't do this if the rope is fixed to an anchor point! That's a very easy way to die inadvertently.

That's a fine rope by the way.
