If so do they have recommendations for rope that's waterproof/easily washable that would be good for use in sploshing scenes?
I think most prefer jute or hemp, but there are obvious issues for sploshing with them. If there are any washable ropes that are reasonably nice to tie with and aren't too bad for marking it would be great to know about them.
Its not my preference for a thousand reasons for dry rope work, but we do have some nylon rope for wet/messy rope play. There are some fetish sites selling them (Etsy is fast becoming my go to for bondage equipment, or BBB once a month) rather than rough horrible stuff from a hardware store. Probably not suitable if you're going to be trying to do intricate stuff - I was dubious at first if it would be nice enough to work with, but it isn't that bad. Second "washing in a pillow case". We bought zip up laundry bags, which are for rope as well as lacy underwear or decent tights/stockings. Used in in this scene:
Silver_sea said: Silk bondage ropes are good. They don't expand when they get wet and can be put in a washing machine (put them in a pillow case though).
I've not come across silk rope before, I'll have to look into it...
i've been tied with Nylon and other synthetic ropes before in sploshing and it worked well. Hemp rope never cleaned properly, no matter how well you thought you cleaned it, but bamboo rope did work and clean quite well.
When cleaning them my ex partner used to use a mesh suit washing bag (the ones you get with some cheaper suits) or a delecates bag for each rope which seemed to work, and reduced the chances of making just a giant knot or getting stuck while also not stopping them getting clean properly, but do rince them them before washing to get as much of the main mess off first, and have somewhere to hang it up to dry nicely too
Thank you for this thread! I was wondering which ones would be suitable, and nylon or silk seems like a good shout. Whether it's enough to do suspension in, is another question, but I would quite like to be suspended and lowered into a slime pit and rope choice is a key part of the logistics of making that scene work.
Love you, too
