This this this!! Yes Mavi! That's what I thought too, how wonderful these pictures are!!

I am considering extending this month's Cat X to include next month because I have had several people say they want to enter but that this month has been difficult for them. Same for me, we had so much work! But that's over and we have a mini-meet this weekend. The moderators over on Cat X have asked me if I wanted to extend, so I will probably do so to give people more time.

I got registered and have a photo ready to submit, but I think as a new member over there, I don't yet have attachment permission?
I emailed the Admin for help.

Thanks to all for the appreciation.
Wait til you see what I did for the Photo Challenge!
I think you'll like it.
I had a lot of fun setting it up.

There are so many types of rope that are popular for this sort of thing.
Many use hemp rope because it is rough-textured and very strong, but that is for the feeling of it against the skin. Some bottoms enjoy the roughness as they are being tied up.
For TPE, that is not a consideration and we must try to avoid abrasions.

Cotton fiber rope is excellent for this, as it is very soft. The problem is that it has a tendency to stretch under weight. So for doll photography (or sex), it is ideal.

Since I use my rope on both dolls and humans, I use a soft poly-fiber rope. I got it at a home improvement store. It is soft, strong, and does not stretch so it won't loosen when struggling or for suspension.

Do not use 100% nylon or para-cord. You can test the rope before you buy it. Take it and rub it on your forearm vigorously, or take a length and drag it over your skin. You will get a feel for how abrasive it is.

The next consideration is rope diameter. Rope that is too thin will try to cut into the flesh (doll or human). So thicker is better, but too thick makes intricate knots more difficult. I am using 3/8-inch rope. It works well, but if your doll is much smaller than life-size, you may want to go a bit smaller diameter so your knots look better. For example, I've been trying to make a rope panty using a trinity knot. I know how to do it, but the diameter of the rope is too large and it doesn't look right. (I'll try and post a pic of it later.)

Also, to protect the tpe, remember to never drag the rope across the skin. Humans experience rope burn which heals. Abrasions on your doll's skin do not, so go slow and carefully.
To prevent compression, never tie tightly. Humans have muscle under their skin that will resist compression from tight ropes. Dolls don't have that and the tpe will compress and possibly tear.
Do an internet search or get a book on how to tie "column ties". Single column ties attach a limb to an object, double-column ties attach two limbs to each other. They are basic ties, but important to learn to prevent compression damage to dolls or humans.

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Rope Panties using the Trinity Knot and Snake Weave.

Although, not too bad, you can see that a larger rope becomes too bulky. Not so much in the front, but in the groin and back. A smaller diameter rope would be able to lie flatter against the skin, and fit better between her butt cheeks to provide rubbing her crotch from vagina to anus.

For a tutorial on how to tie this, check out:

I dislike the tie on the side that they show in the video. The purpose of panties is to WEAR them. But underneath clothing, the side tie knots would dig into her hips.
So what I do is bring the ropes forward, weave them down through the panty, then run straight-line through the crotch under the snake weave. Then come up and tie in the back.
This provides the additional benefit of giving her a "happy knot". On a human, the ropes rub her labia and clitoris when she squirms, providing her with intense pleasure. The snake weave, although decorative, also provides more pressure, pushing the straight ropes against her to rub against.

Now you are bound for trouble.
