Rubber life goes on and I think I am starting to adjust a little to wearing a rubber sheath all day. To be honest, the current weather here is not helping as I am so hot in here, I may as well be pissing in my suit I am so wet sometimes. The only way to keep cool is to regularly spray my outer rubber skin with a mist of water and stay in the path of a cooling fan. Still these are exceptional times and I am looking forward to the usual cool weather returning before long – if not I am going to have to admit failure, invest in AC and say a last goodbye to any hope for the environment...
I like some of these ideas that Dark commented on my last post.
I must admit to having been very conservative with my suits in recent times. As I wear them for long periods most days, I have tended to go for the safe options that I know work – if in a compromised manner, with only small variations. I go through a lot of suits, so the cost or comfort implications of an incorrect decision have always put me off. But mean time, my requirements of what I demand from my totally enclosed lifestyle have evolved somewhat and now I find that standard total enclosure suits just do not deliver what I am looking for. So I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and go down the special commissioning route...
So I am looking for good manufacturers who are up to a special commission that I can wear everyday for prolonged periods. I am also looking for further ideas on dealing with the usual challenges of living in rubber total enclosure…
So what would be the perfect suit? Tricky question, but thought I would make a start and see what feedback I get (if any)….
I need a suit I can comfortably wear for long periods (24 hours minimum is a good starting point) without the need for taking it off for getting fluids in or out. It needs to be totally enclosing (head to foot) and be totally hermetically sealed (not leak air/water in either direction).
I would like the minimum of zips to increase comfort (probably shoulder entry). Would like to be able to lock the zips so I cannot get out without a key (use of external locks and chains etc to achieve this would be perfectly acceptable). I would prefer it to be close fitting, fairly robust yet not so thick as to be uncomfortable / chaffing. I want the minimum of layers – but may compromise. I need to be able to type on a keyboard, so good fitting gloves are a requirement – although these can be augmented with specialist over gloves for various demanding tasks.
I would want to have the option of fitting breathing apparatus (bags, filters etc) to increase the feeling of enclosure. On the other hand, I need to be able to configure the mask to allow me to converse clearly on the telephone.
I like the idea of separate toes as well as fingers very much, but more a desirable than a “must have”. Not worried about fitting a moulded ear on the hood as I think a sleek head looks better and ears can look ugly. However, the hood must not be too tight over the ears as any flattening of the ears start to get painful sometime around 24 to 36 hours in.
As well as sheath for pissing, it would be a bonus if other functions could be taken care of. Ways of feeding in extra tubes / wires for toys, stimulations and additional functionality without compromising the degree of hermitic seal would be another bonus.
I an ideal world, I would like some way of maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the suit. In particular, I like the idea of cooling tubes like the cosmonauts and astronauts wear – maybe a close fitting outer cooling garment. It would be handy to be able to occasionally run off (or pump out) any accumulation of moisture (or air) in the suit, as long as it did not impair the water/air proof seal (one way valves?).
I like the idea of cyborgs – so being linked to a support system may be acceptable as long as I can be mobile if I need to be.
Anyone got any further ideas?

I am posting a reply on behalf of Magnum Smoker, followed by my reply….
I sent a brief reply to your blog, which is very well done. But the 300 character limit kind of made my message too short.
I think your TE project is fantastic, and I see no problem about the impersonalization of full gear or anything along that line. This is the way you want to live and that's great.
As for working all day in total enclosure, I realize it's important to be hermetically sealed and I have thought about this a lot for myself as well, so this strikes a chord with me. As for talking on the phone, have you considered a cordless phone headset. You could adapt one rather easily to one or more of your gasmasks so that you would sound totally natural on the phone and no one would know. You might look at www.plantronics.com for some inspiration.
The urination problem with full cover is a problem too, and your solution with a one-way valve sounds good. Catheters can be irritating, and unless you keep them super clean you could have problems, unless you can devise a regimen of medical catheters that you change every few days. But what about the other end? Do you still have to unzip or have you done any research in the area of other alternatives?
You don't mention about meal times, do you remain masked then as well? I suppose it depends on what your family thinks in that regard. Do you mask with your wife only or with family in general, and what about public masking?
As for the sweat problem I vote for air conditioning, just give into it and install some. Your total enclosure is worth it. If you really want to sleep comfortably, then this should help.
Is your sleeping going any better now?
Please tell us about your suffocation asl well. I am wondering if you have considered partial suffocation, where you have a breathing bag but still some fresh air a good part of the day. You would still rebreathe a little but not to the total suffocation level. Do you pefer black rubber breathing bags? What is your favorite way to do it? And also do you use poppers?
I hope I haven't overloaded you here but have read all your writings and find them completely fascinating.
If you feel like posting this as a reply, please do.
Stay sealed,

Hi Magnum,
Sorry u had problems posting your reply. You are certainly not the first person who has found it easier to correspond directly with me rather than post here. I don’t tend to post personal correspondence here, but you gave permission for this particular mail and asked some very good questions and made points I think everyone here would like to hear.
Thanks for the compliments BTW and reassurances. Can get a bit lonely in here sometimes and so I can crave the attention!
Love the idea of the wireless headset. Plantronics are a company that I am often exposed to in my work, so it’s odd I never though along these lines. My only concern is the clarity of such a device. I am often on the phone for hours a day and talking internationally on conference calls, so clarity is often poor, even with the best equipment. Aside from this one reservation, it has to be worth investigating…
Unfortunately, I have a bigger problem with in-dwelling catheters than just the usual issues of long-term hygiene & UTIs, (as I documented last year) – they just seem to be incompatible with my “equipment”. If I get over stimulated and ejaculate (which is somewhat inevitable if you spend most of your life in rubber, even if you didn’t aim to) it result in very intense pain, followed by pain for a day or so, every time I pass water.
It’s such a huge pity for me, as in-dwelling catheters are a really neat solution. Also, the loss of control of your own functions is oddly stimulating..
As for the “other end”, this is only a major problem which will affect endurance when you have fully conquered the other functions that must be address within a day or so (urination as well as taking on water/nourishment and temperature control / perspiration...). At the moment, it has not routinely been a problem and required no special bowel control as it is easier to hold out until the next daily “pit stop”, which I will need to address my other needs.
On the occasional sessions where I try to set some new personal records and stay totally enclosed 24/7 for days at a time, I simply adjust my diet before and during the session so I can hold out for as long as I can – which can be as longer than I usually mange for other reasons anyway.
Of course, this fasting is no healthy long term solution and I have had some thoughts and done some rudimentary experiments about improving things, should it become relevant to my lifestyle. Basically, unlike my male member, it is no problem or great discomfort to plumb up my rear. So I am talking an enema type arraignment with a tube to carry in the wash and another to take away the waste. These plumbing must make it’s way through the suit without any compromise to the seal, which should be possible.
This arraignment could be as rudimentary as something you have to plug up to external “accessories” on a periodic basis, but I have thought it would be kinky to automate. If though a system of pumps and collection bags you could automate the process so that your suit would frequently wash you out, this would be a neater solution. Again, you would be submitting to your fetish suit.
Meal times – well I do have a bit of a thing about preferring to not eat when in rubber. Too mundane and human like I guess. I do take on fluids – although ideally this is via a tube to avoid the need for taking off my mask. Again, as my routine day to day endurance limit gives me opportunity for long “pit stop”, this is when I can do my “normal” eating. Longer term, I would never give up the opportunity for occasional special meals with my partner/friends/family but am drawn to the idea of my routine daily needs being entirely supplied by my rubber encasement (suit). I think it must be possible to survive on a liquid diet for many days at a time, ideally pumped in via a tube at just the right preset amount.
Re: other questions regarding partner/family, they are off limits I am afraid. Just a rule I have been asked to keep to. All I can say is that I have to compromise sometimes, as do they! This blog is for real, not a fantasy. These are real people we are talking about and so unfortunately I cannot claim to be a 24/7/365 rubber enclosed person (sorry to disappoint!).
Also I am far too timid a person to routinely wear my full enclosure gear with mask in public. Where I live they would drag me to the village stocks and throw stones at me! I do really admire those who wear rubber out and think we will end up owing their kind a big debt of gratitude as attitudes mellow towards rubber.
Suffocation – I really have neglected posting this important topic. When I started the log I imagined I would be writing tons on my favourite activity – but it virtually never happens. I have no idea why this should be!
This suffocation interest has been with me as long as the whole hermitic seal thing, before latex rubber and is as important as, and in fact part of the same fetish.
Suffocation / breath control / bag play is a huge subject that very rarely gets described accurately or even discussed. A sort of taboo – or just difficult to explain without sounding reckless? I cannot address it all in one post, but will tell you my basic preferences and respond directly to your points. Ask more questions and I will be happy to elaborate.
The sort of suffocation that I am most interested in is basically exactly as you describe – slow partial suffocation / re-breathing scenes. Nothing wrong with intense play, but like most everything else I describe here, I prefer my kicks to last for hours not seconds!
The ideal situation is to have sufficient fine control of the amount of fresh air allowed into a system that I can slowly build up the proportion of re-breathed air over time without ever feeling very uncomfortable or experiencing real panic about my suffocation. In a situation where you are talking about hours and not a minute or so, the cliché of “less is more” would seem to apply to my favoured intensity of suffocation – although I may end up reaching the point where I breathe less fresh air than would have been possible in the first few minutes of a session without panic setting in.
You have to accept that this is a risky and unhealthy activity and I do push things somewhat. I even like to sleep with a rubber re-breathing hood on – the feeling of waking up gently suffocating is mind blowing to me – and just perhaps augmented by the fear of the small but real possibility of not waking up at all!
I like all forms of re-breathing apparatus, such as rubber re-breathing bags etc, but sometime you cannot get away from the simple pleasures of popping a clear plastic bag over your head. With such an arrangement, I use often use the simple cord/toggle grip to secure the bag around my neck. These are the cord/grips you tend to see looped through camping equipment bags (e.g. the sack used to store sleeping bags) and they are great as you can adjust to let just the right amount of air in, starting very lose and adjusting down to let less air in when you adjust to re-breathing (good starting point is so lose you get you nose through the loop).
With this sort of play the big variables which change the experience are the size of the bag and it’s type / thickness of plastic used to make the bag - as this effects the amount a bag how much air is drawn in etc. I could talk on this for hours, but would bore you…
Yes I do use poppers. In the early days of my blog I was virtually totally dependent on them. In general terms I find they seem almost tailor made for rubber encased people – making the whole sensation easier to handle. The strong physiological effects are largely beneficial when totally enclosed in rubber. For example, I find I can use them to limit my level of over-arousal and so keep myself under control (and yet on the boil) for hours and hours. They do have some down sides when you use them daily and so am just detoxing for a while, but I do really miss them.
I sometimes mix suffocation with popper use, but often prefer to keep them as separate experiences. The one experience tends to mask the other and also leads to very intense doses of poppers, which I feel are too high for daily use.
This reply is getting too long, so will stop their. Thanks again for the interest and would love to find out more about your lifestyle interests.

Hi Dark,
thanks for you response.Cover much of it my reply to Magnum.
The stainless things sound worthy of further investigation, so will keep my eyes open...
Sealed
I admire the devotion of those and those like you who go for a totally enclosed life-style. Like Dark, ihave other things in my life than latex.
Lengthy endurance in TE is attractive to me however if not as a continuing life-style, but I am very suspicious of any devices attached to and entering the penis or anus. I can see nothing but infection, irritation and eventual serious problems.
I have pants with a sheath and tube to enable urination when I am wearing several zipped suits and making a way through the zips is tricky. I find thatin 24 hours it begins to smell. Stale sweat begins to smell after 24 hours. So 23/7 is the practical limit though I myself have never got beyond 23/2.
My enjoyment of heat endurance is also exhausting, the more so since I am not as young as I was. So I do not really have much to contribute - sorry to waste your time.
Sealed talks of wearing a mask in public and that is more my topic. This is just not on. I wear an open-face hood with dark shades leaving little of my face to be seen, but that seems acceptable. Few take any notice. But SBR trench coat as a basis is pretty ordinary.
I have previously told the story of how a couple of years ago I tried walking in a quiet country place in full-face hood and how the police were rapidly called though I had not been within a hundred yards of anybody. They said I had not committed an offence, but the full-face was not acceptable. I would in fact have done better in central London. That is a lesson for wearing rubber in public - avoid quiet places. And drunks also I am sure are dangerous (indeed to anybody) and I have not risked getting near them.
Off thread, I have found my digital camera upset trying to take pictures of myself rubbered in full sunshine. The pictures using auto settings come out pink. Why? A pity because I had pictures of myself in fully geared in obviously baking hot conditions in the midday sun. I cannot adjust the colour balance at all well. Annoying.
Typing accurately remains a problem. So pleas overlook errors.
Blackie.

Dear SealedAndSuffocating,
I just thought permanent TE might get your attention in my last note and I guess it did!!
I know how doing your own thing and being extreme can be somewhat lonely. So whatever I have to say is in support of your TE goals.
First of all, don't make any excuses at all for what you do or like, As SealedAndSuffocating, your last name is Suffocating, and mine is Smoker so I make no judgements about your suffocation and hope you won't about my love of heavy smoking.
As far as the headset for your ability to talk well in masks, the Plantronics cordless units are very clear. I have a project using their products now, and i talked to the tech support person there. She was wearing one and it was actually clearer than an normal phone. So that should allow you to be TE when you need to talk doing work.
Now about the catheters. This would be the best thing for you in terms of elimination and I think It's safe to say you really like the loss of control given by wearing a urine bag and catheter. I agree. So why not think about stretching the urethra? There are so many ways to do it after doing some research here. Take a look at:
http://www.hottotrott.com/stretching_the_male_urethra.htm
http://www.chaseunion.com/documents/urethra/differ.htm
If you could widen the urethra, then your catheter would have a lot of extra room for your ejaculations, so you would just cum around the rubber tube and there would be no problem. I see that it is not too hard to stretch the urethra comparatively quickly as well.
I would love to hear that you might consider plumbing your rear end as well and really go for an automated flushing and elminiation system for yourself.
As far as suffocation, well I'm into very heavy smoking and you might want to look at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Magnumsmoking2/
and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Magnumsmoking/
You will find a few pics of me with a respirator on, with 2 of the big Boswell Magnum pipes attached. The mask has a popper feed system with a little control valve that lets you control how much popper you are getting. Basically, it's a Jungle Juice bottle (double size one) with 2 holes drilled int the top. There is an inlet tube (preferrably 1/8" stainless tubing) epoxied throught the top so the inlet air bubbles through the amyl nitrate. The ouput tube is very short and just goes in about 1/2" inside the popper cap. When you suck/breathe in, the air goes in and bubbles through the liquid and out comes pure vapor. I really love it.
I would love to hear lots more about your suffocation and how you do it for hours on end. Do you have any pictures that might illustrate how you spend your days?
Thanks so much for letting us in on your exciting world of total enclosure!!
Keep Rebreathing!
MagnumSmoker
Thanks for the reply! Again, your style of writing (ummm... and living by the way) is really great! Clear, well written, it's great.
If you would, for me the headgear is really really important too. I know you wear full hoods/masks all day. So what are your aims and goals as far as isolation from the outside atmosphere? I mean a mask is OK but your eyes and breathing are still open to the atmosphere. You have no lenses or filter to isolate you, so that diminishes your enclosure a bit. Are you able to wear a gasmask or maybe a StudioGum Rubber Prison type hood? How do you keep or plan to keep the level of rubber respiratory and visual isolation/enclosure that you require?
By the way John Suitcliffe of Atomage use to say that "helmet" is the most correct terminology if it completely covers your head, so I'm always confused about what to really call a fully enclosing hood /mask/helmet. Heavens I should make a rubber terminology faux-pas.
I am also interested in your long-term suffocation and popper feed.
I know you don't generally mix them unless the time is right for it, and then of course it is not only acceptable, but highly recommended that you do both at once.
But you need to keep youself under control, at a simmer or gentle boil as consistently and evenly as possible. A loss of control is not desirable for the most part so you need to maintain your emotions and physical state with some kind of moderator that controls your blood flow and oxygen levels at the optimal point for your activity.
Can you and do you desire to do a "maintenance" level of popper or suffocation for a good part of the day? Especially with normal workday activities. I don't know if it's possible, but would love to know what you feel about this.
Again, post what you want. Thanks so much for listening and responding.
Wishing you optimal O2 moderation,
Magnum
