As hinted at in the post about Heros this month, I think I’ve come up with some of the solutions to the problems and issues we’ve been having with the Vac Bed since we bought it. There was a combination of issues, but all of them have been really easy to solve.
The first issue was that on initially using the bed, the Latex covering didn’t seem very taught. This was solved by buying some more of the plastic pipe used for the frame from a local DIY store, and cutting it to be slightly longer than the original. This means that the Latex now starts taught across the frame, and helps to improve the suction. The other issue we solved with the frame was that the holes seem to get covered up by the Latex when it’s sucking – to this end, I’ve drilled extra holes in the frame to improve the suction. We also solved an issue with a whistling noise by turning the connector the Vacuum Cleaner goes in to around.
The final problem wasn’t really a problem, but I often found it uncomfortable to breath through the breathing tube gag due to the sheer length of the breathing tube, so we solved that by cutting it in half, meaning there’s less than half the distance to breath and it was easier and more fun.
As hinted at in my ZentaiSpot Twitter Feed, my owner and I ended up with the house to ourselves, which we were told would last until tomorrow. Once my owner had finished his work, we set about having some fun and testing the improvements to the Vac Bed. This initially proved to be a major success, as the following picture shows.
However, as the Vacuum Cleaner doesn’t really like running constantly, we had to give it a break – and my owner decided that I should be dressed up in my Latex Shorts + T-Shirt, in keeping with the theme of the day. I also ended up having my cuffs padlocked around my wrists and ankles, and then proceeded to do something very normal – sort out a load of things on the computer. I was then told that I had to stay like this while we drove up to the local takeaway for dinner, but my owner eventually relented and let me put combats on so as not to scare the neighbours!
After eating, we returned to the Vac Bed, where we also decided that we’d give it a clean using the Latex Cleaner from Latex 101 and see if that made any difference… and it certainly appeared to make a difference to the photographs at least! We ended up doing some different poses (as best I can when my head has to stay in one place!) and we think some of them came out quite well.
Unfortunately, such is life, playtime had to come to an abrupt end 🙁
