  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Does the width of the elastic drawcord matter?
Most guides recommend either 6 or 10 mm. What I have is 4 mm.
I do have thicker ones, but they are a bit less elastic and seem too tight.

2. Where should the end of the hose be inside the bag? Should I attach it close to the bottom or close to the mouth?

3. How tight should I tie the cord at the neck? How tight should it be if I stick a finger next to my neck?

I couldn't find the super-elastic drawcord like the one used in medical masks, so instead I'm using a thin rubber cord.
It's not as stretchy, but I can pull the bag onto my head with it still being tight at the neck. So it definitely does stretch.

Besides the mega thread, found this helpful on the bag itself

1. The width of the drawcord only matters in so much as it has sufficient enough elastic resistance to tighten and loosen the bottom of the bag. I got 1/4 elastic band, and while it's thin it still draws the bag closed tightly and opens. You may also want to think about elastic that will fit in your toggle

2. I don't see people talk about this a lot, probably because it doesn't matter much. I would think the best place to put it is where there would be little obstruction (your hair etc) so maybe off to the side of your head. I would put the hose in at least halfway.

3. It should be snug, two fingers rule. You want there to be a way for the gas to create a positive airflow pushing out cO2 and preventing ambient air from entering.

If the rubber cord you found satisfies all these requirements well, then you should be good to go. I've seen another user on here use a thin cord like that.

How do you tighten the toggle cord after you pull the bag down to your neck to tighten especially if you're on a panic state. The Final Exit book have advise sweatband. The sweatband is not right around neck. Haven't connected tube. The only elastic have been able to find to fit through toggle is crafting elastic. Is that okay or too thin? I am really stressed out.

Sorry meant to add sweatband rolled a few times around 19" wide turkey bag and taped. It's loose around neck. 😥
