• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I don't think I'm going to be able to buy one online because I live at home and it could raise some suspicion,

From what I've seen, people generally recommend rope about 1/2" in width. 10mm is about 0.39 inches, so I would think based on width alone it would be ok.

There's other factors though. What is the material? Rope made of natural fiber is generally preferred to synethic. What is the strength rated to? Most rope should be tested to a "safe" weight capacity. If your rope is tested to a capacity of 175lbs, that might be enough if you weight 150lbs but it also could not be enough if you weigh 200lbs.

will work but hurt pretty bad. switched to 12 mm and padding. even 12mm without padding hurts too much for me.
partial that is. full will be more pressure on the neck. thicker is more comfy. but not to thick or the knots wont close well

I'm think it's polyester and and I don't remember the weight capacity but it was pretty high.

have some tries with partial. don't attach the rope. throw it over a door and hold the other end in your hand or you might be gone earlier than you want. see how it feels pain wise and adjust from there

Hm..I saw other members also saying that natural fiber is better than synthetic. Could you tell me why?

Natural fiber ropes are generally have less strength than synthetic ones but natural might be more comfortable or easy to access. As long as the rope can hold at least 2x your weight (most 1/2 do) then your fine.
