Ways to make hanging less painful?

[lemmeeleev]

Anyone have ways on how to make hanging less painful? This includes both full and partial suspension.
What I have is
1. Add padding (probably better with full)
2. Compress both jugular vein and carotid artery
If anyone has others, or even just ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Maybe alcohol is an idea? Or just painkillers in general, might help taking them beforehand.

yeah I heard alcohol helps a little with the survival instinct

What's the best way to compress your carotid artery, especially with partial?

Apply enough pressure, pretty much the only way unless anyone has any other suggestions

Before my first attempt I took two Paramol tablets and had about half bottle of rum. I was comfortable going through with everything. I felt a little pressure in my head but no pain. Unfortunately I was found just after I had managed to pass out

Adding padding never seemed to work for me, I guess I did something wrong there though.

This. If you put all your weight in all at once, you will be unconscious in 15 seconds or under. In my experience with partial, padded with a washcloth, I felt practically no pain

I'm having trouble with this also. Anyone know which drug to take to lessen pain? I have access to many dealers so all I have to do is ring them up. (Don't have access to heroin though which has been suggested before)

- Use a handcuffs to hands behind the back before starting. It prevents the catching of the rope and climbing. It makes all more quiet. A good alternative is also a tie wrap (cable tie), but locking is more difficult.

My thoughts about the pain is that after maybe 30-40 seconds of it I will lose consciousness and never remember it again.
