Hi! Thanks for your question. This harness isn’t designed for full suspensions, but it works great as a supportive addition in partial suspensions. :)

KMDD's classes are such a joy to watch - we're thrilled you enjoy them too! Thank you for the love and support💕

So happy you found this helpful :) Thanks for your support!❤️

SO much fun. Let us know if you give it a try😍

Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly believe that shibari is for everybody, and it's important to us to represent all body types. We’re so glad you appreciate the diversity in our videos❤️

Glad to hear you enjoyed the class! Thank you so much for your support❤️

Thanks for your comment! For inspiration, you can check out KMDD's Self-Suspension Performance here:https://shibaristudy.com/programs/self-suspension-performance-with-kissmedeadlydoll-freeAlthough it's not a tutorial, it could help to clarify the nuances of locking off while face-down!

Thanks for your question! That answer will vary a bit based on your bottom’s preferences and body type (folks with more squish will generally prefer a tighter tension than folks with little fat or muscle around their bones). But as a general answer to your question, yes, you could tie this tight unless an instructor specifically calls for a looser tension. You could also try tying this tight and then back off on the tension if your bottom asks for it to be looser. As Lief said- in the beginning, many riggers struggle with tying too loose. So consider that this is an exercise designed to help folks who tie loosely to understand where the limit of too tight might be, and work backwards from there.

Great question! We wouldn’t suggest it, since the stopper knots help to ensure that the lock-off stays a “slip” rather than just a full overhand knot, which would be a bit more tedious to untie. Alternatively, you could be careful to not pull all of the rope through, but would likely need to leave enough tail hanging that you’d run the risk of an accidental untie. For whipped ends, consider two half hitches or some other lock-off variation instead!

Thanks for the question! One slip knot (plus the friction at the ring/carabiner or just below the bamboo) is secure, however, important to be aware that one of the key features of this slip knot is that it’s easy to untie. We love that about it, but it also means that we need to be careful to pull all the way down to the stopper knots so that we don’t accidentally grab the lock off by accident and untie it. If you’re newer to suspension, a second slip knot is one way to protect against that while also still locking the upline in a manner that’s fast to tie and untie!
