Thank you for flagging! We’re fixing this now. 

You can definitely just keep going with your extra rope into the hip support, though what @knottydaddy said is true that you'll want to be careful and communicate with your model about whether or not the placement of your rope join is creating any uncomfortable pressure, especially around the inner thigh. 

Fuoco replying here, and just want to say that I’m so glad to hear that this felt good to your body! 

You could definitely do that. Try it both ways and think about if you like one way better than the other and why!

Thanks for flagging this. They should be working now!

I can totally understand that this is tricky to follow. While I can’t provide a close up, I can tell you that he’s tying a slipped half-hitch around the working line. So imagine that you’re tying a half-hitch with your bight, but rather than pulling the bight all the way through, you only pull it halfway through so that you create a quick release slipknot. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for catching that! We’ve re-categorized it. 

The trickier knot shown here is a "slipped half hitch” or slipknot :)

charles Great question. There’s definitely a possibility that that top wrap could slip. There are a variety of factors that might contribute to that: a tighter top wrap tension will help prevent slipping, the position of your partner in the suspension (more upright positions in which the hips are lower than the chest are more likely to create slippage than more horizontal or inverted positions), your partner’s body shape (some folks have shoulders that are wider than the arm where the top wrap sits and this can help prevent slippage, whereas other folks have shoulders that are more narrow than the top wrap spot and this can make slippage more likely), and like you mentioned, the structural construction of the tie can also make a difference! So while this isn’t a clear yes/no answer, we hope this helps you make a case-by-case decision about whether or not you’d like to adapt this harness for the specifics of your tie on any given day!

That’s a very person-to-person question but as you can see in this video, Olivia begins to shake with the strain of the tie within about a minute of her feet being tied to the harness. So you should definitely expect to play with this final position for just a matter of minutes. Communication is key here and the biggest difference between an advanced model and a more beginner one won’t necessarily be how long they can stay but rather how well they can communicate to you when they’re approaching their edge. When tying someone newer it’s good to keep in mind that you might need to untie fast with less warning.
