The Bound Forum

Hi folks,

since a lot of people are looking for ways of performing a more or less complete self mummification (of course without the head) i tried to create some kind of setup to do so with pallet wrap.

Going from the often suggested setup of wrapping some object in your room and moving yourself around it afterwards i thought it might be better to have a way to allow the roll to rotate so you can stay at your place without having to move around the room... so here you go with my setup:

i got a few quite big paperboard rolls from my company and used a prop clamped between the floor and ceiling as a support for that roll (that i just put on the prop pipe, so it could rotate easily. since the paperrolls are quite big, its high enough to go from right about the floor to my neck.

Using pallet wrap to wrap around those rolls in a criss cross manner from top to bottom and up again i created a sort of bigger pallet wrap roll where everything of the body would be covered later on.

After that i started wrapping my legs up to my torso by hand to create a first layer. Then i wrapped each arm seperately just to make them stick to the other wraps later.
And finally i just used the start of the wraps from the rolls above, stick it between an arm and the body and started turning around just in place. Since the wrap comes off the roll quite easily you can safely turn just where you are with out needing to hop around.

depending on where you wrapped the roll before, the pallet wrap will go from your legs up to your shoulders, securing your arms to your body.

It was quite an interesting experience to say the least, got me quite a while before being able to free myself again....

the only problem i had was that the wrap went off the roll a bit too easy (the roll rotated too easy, not enough friction) so the wraps were not as tight as they could have been... does anyone have an idea how to create some kind of friction on that setup so the roll wouldn't rotate as easy as it does?

I don't know the diameter of the pole or inside diameter of the rolls, but possibly some sort of a sleeve on the pole to increase it's diameter would create resistance by 'grabbing' the roll.

This is very similar to what I do. Tape some old socks (or maybe old t-shirts) to the pole until the resistance is just right. Socks work well because they're cheap and small enough to fine-tune the quantity needed, plus the cotton naturally grabs whatever it's touching—in this case the roll—and it compresses (provides tension) without losing its desire to push back over time.

Hmm... perhaps I might share the rest of my elaborate setup...

Hi folks,

thanks for your input on my setup. since i didnt have the time to recreate it again i just made an image of the pole/roll to show you the sizes...
the inner tube from the prop is approx. 1" in diameter, and the paper roll has an inner diameter of 3".

Thats a really cool idea with the socks/tshirt. i really have to try that

and of course feel free to share your setup as well... I am pretty sure there are some folks out there interested

once again thank you very much for your input,

Do you have any wood working tools/scraps of wood cgwm?

no, not really... i'm not too good at wood work at all

Well alright then... Be warned though; it took me almost 10 years of trial and error with different makeshift rigs to get to this point, and there's probably still room for improvement, but here goes:

Before beginning, any pre-wrapping of limbs is up to you, but I'll go back and forth between nothing one session and wrapping my legs/arms the next. Also, have a back-up escape method prepared! Scissors on a counter, a safety knife wrapped to your leg, whatever—you don't want to be trapped for real! (Or maybe you do, I don't know... )

After many iterations of ways to hold the roll of wrap while I spun, from leather briefcases in doorframes to upside-down chairs, and even pre-wrapping stuff like furniture, I finally stumbled upon the best idea I've had so far: a shower curtain rod. It's perfect for the job; it can extend up from my desk to the ceiling and will fit through almost any diameter roll of wrap, everything from cast pallet wrap to the narrow 30m (~100 ft) grocery rolls of plastic wrap. (Make sure you get one that extends to at least 5-6 feet, otherwise it'll be too wobbly.) But a roll of wrap will spin too freely when placed on the rod on its own. True, it's not wise to have the wrapping too tight, but without some resistance, you'll feel little to no restriction, and that's not what we came for. My solution for this is to tape some socks or old cotton shirts to the lower 18" of the rod. This creates friction between the inner roll (cardboard) and the rod, which means the roll still spins, but with resistance. Plus cotton And the socks/shirts should be taped to the rod—don't just line the inside of the roll with them. If they're loose, the roll will probably grab them and take them on its ride around the poll, so you won't get any extra tension. (Granted it might take a large number of socks or shirts to line the poll until its diameter competes with that of the roll, so you might want to do what I did, which is to line the rod with some leftover plastic wrap from a past wrap-session first. I then tape a few socks to this, and it works pretty well.) Slip the roll over the bottom of the rod, place the base of the rod on a desk or table (something that's about thigh height from the floor), and extend the rod to the ceiling, locking it in place. (NOTE: I prefer a curtain rod that extends by twisting the two halves in different directions, because they have a nice long spring inside them for stability; the ones where the tension comes from just spinning the rubber end thing have a greater chance of coming loose while you're wrapping, which is definitely something to avoid for safety reasons.)

Speaking of the rod coming loose, the next major issue I encountered with this setup is that the desk is slippery, so the base of the rod would slide towards me as the roll spun around its tight sleeve, which often caused the rod to fall shortly after I began wrapping myself, forcing me to stop, unwind what little wrap was on me, and reset the rod. I got around this problem by wrapping a roll of grip-rubber around a hard-cover book and placing it on the desk underneath where the rod will go. This stuff is fantastic; I found mine at a dollar store near the placemats. They're meant to keep things from sliding around on slippery surfaces, like placemats on dining tables, and this is a perfect use for them. I can't recall having the rod fall down once since using this rubbery book technique.

Now, having the roll spinning at thigh height means it's not going to wrap your legs. Of course, you can pre-wrap your legs together if you like, but I find that means I have to spin extra slow, or risk falling by jump-spinning. Do this if you like, but what I do is place a footstool on the ground near where you'll be spinning. Something short enough that you can step on/off with your knees held together, but tall enough that when the wrap comes off the roll, it covers your hands/thighs completely. Granted this doesn't let you wrap your legs in the middle of a session, but I usually start by placing the start of the wrap at the knees and letting it work its way up to the hips. Then I hop down and begin wrapping the rest of my upper body. (I place my arms at my sides, but slightly behind me. Too far behind your back and you'll start to lose the feeling in your fingers before you can get yourself out.) If you don't do this step, the wrap below your hands may ride up like a dress, making the upcoming escape method challenging/impossible.

As for wrapping the upper body, it's easy—you just have to bend down slightly each time you spin, and the wrap will make its way up to your chest, and even over your shoulders (if you so dare). Then to let the wrap come back down, spin a few times without bending, and it'll make its way back down to the desk level. If you wish to wrap your hands a bit more, step onto the footstool again and spin a few more times there. Repeat as desired.

To enhance the feeling of submission, I like to play a game with a series of images on my computer. I have a slideshow running, showing a different image every 7 seconds. Some pictures feature bondage—about one in three. When a bondage pic comes up, I spin once. If the next one is also bondage, I spin twice more (three times total). The pattern continues, spinning three times for the third bondage picture in a row, four more times for the fourth, until I stop at 5 times for the fifth. Any time a non-bondage picture appears, I stop spinning, and the next bondage picture starts the count again at one spin. It gets pretty fun sometimes, wanting more and more bondage pictures to come up so I can wrap myself more, but having to wait for what feels like an eternity through a series of pictures without a single spin. Then other times I get bondage pic after bondage pic, so I'm spinning maybe 20-30 times in a row!

Now that you've wrapped yourself to your heart's content, there's a decision to be made: break the line, or not? If you're using regular plastic wrap, you might be comfortable with the idea of squeezing your arms in front of you so you'll be able to pierce the wrap and reach a pair of scissors or something to free yourself. But if you're using pallet wrap, that's quite thick, especially in multiple layers, and the stuff is designed to resist punctures. So when using pallet wrap, I tend to leave the line attached to the roll, letting out some slack if necessary (for lying down on a nearby bed, for example). Then, when it's time to get out, you can just stand up and spin the other way around a dresser set up in the middle of a room, which unwinds the wrap from my body. (I'm fortunate enough to have a few rooms downstairs that create an open loop, so I use that).

Phew—that was long; sorry! As a quick summary:

- Pre-wrap your limbs (if desired)
- Take a shower curtain rod, 5-6 feet long
- Line it with socks, shirts, and discarded wrap until the roll of wrap fits snuggly
- Wrap a hard-cover book in a rubber grip sheet
- Place the wrapped book on a desk, about thigh-high
- Place the bottom of the curtain rod on the book, extend it to the ceiling, twist to lock it in place
- Put a footstool next to you on the floor, stand on it
- Place the loose end of the wrap at your knees, and spin on the footstool to wrap your upper legs
- Step down and bend over slightly while spinning to wrap your upper body/shoulders
- Wrap as much as you like (or as much as you think you can break out of); or
- Leave the roll attached so you can unwind around a tall dresser later

That'll about do it—again, sorry it's so long! If anyone has questions about anything, including ways to get off while wrapped, just ask!

Hi Plasticwrapper,

first of all happy new year!

Thank you very much for sharing your setup with us.
It really looks like everybody is coming up with more or less the same ideas somehow.
But i have to admit that the idea with the shower rod is cool... never thought of them

So i guess i will try the old socks/fabric idea for the rod for me some day to see where i can go from there.

Once again thanks a lot, that really helped me!

hi again,

just another quick update on that..
i tried stuffing something between the pole and the outer roll to make it turn slower / with more friction. and it definitely does work

I set it up again yesterday and thought i might give it a try while my wife was out of house.. wrapped myself up this way from ankles to the neck, and what should i say?
There was definitely no way of getting out by myself... had to wait for my wife to come home and help me cutting away the pallet wrap... crazy thing it really works this well...

I've been thinking about ways to wrap myself in multiple rolls at once, and I finally came up one! Here's a proof of concept:

(see my closet full of self-bondage accessories lol)

The roll is sunspun all-purpose wrap 17"x2500', which I get from a local foodservice wholesale store. The box comes ready to act as a dispenser. I have it sitting upright on a console table, with a grip-cloth underneath the box to reduce slipping.

Then, I loop a bungee cord around a closet rod, attaching the hooks of the bungee cord into the perforated hole in the top of the upright box. This keeps the box from tipping forward from the force of pulling it off the roll as I spin.

Finally, to keep the table from falling forward, I link two more bungee cords and loop them around the table and the closet rod.

I've only tested it with one roll and about 10 spins, but it seems to work pretty well! My goal is to add more rolls to the setup - the width of the table can hold up to 5 rolls

One concern I found while testing is that, the roll may fall over if you don't stand directly in front of the table. I walked a bit to the side, and the box twisted to follow me, because the cord holding it back wanted to be aligned with the direction of pull. This could cause the box to tip sideways, or, with multiple boxes, cause them to lean on each other, perhaps knocking them down. I'll have to test this; if the boxes lean, maybe I can find a way to prevent that.
