Help what rope is best used for full suspension hanging?

i bought a nylon rope a few months ago and it fucking sucks. i tried tying a simple knot and it kept slipping which is obviously not good for hanging. it was also way too slippery so i might fall during the process, and it was very uncomfortable. what's the best and effective kind of rope?

A properly tied hangman's knot will not slip. Historically ropes where sometimes oiled to further decrease friction.
Nylon is good.

i dont think i will be able to do that with the one i have now. hangman is way too complicated for me and like i said, my rope couldn't even hold a simple knot because it kept slipping. im not comfortable with it unfortunately. are there other good options?

Double braided dock line, 1/2 inch. Do 't bother with a hangmans knot. Use some form of slip knot.

the best rope is natural fiber like hemp or jute with a diameter if about 12 to 15 mm

Not a nice, smooth dock line?

I think the material of the rope is not so important. Well defined mechanical properties like strength, elasticity, flexibility and roughness are more important, no matter which material is used to achieve this properties.

It is not so bad, if the rope is slippy, because the noose tightens easily. But of course it has to be rough enaugh to tie a knot.

Natural fiber is very traditional but not so easy to get.
