inflated catsuit with water?

is it possible to fill up a inflatable catsuit with water?

whether, if possible, but you risk ruin

inflatables costumes, suits and clothings

Water is heavy, really really heavy. I imagine the suit would burst at the legs long before it reached an attractive shape.

Solution = lay down in at tilted degree, allowing the water to spread more so it doesn't force all it's weight into one spot.

I spend way to much time working with this stuff.

Btw I'm getting tired of this post time limit crap, since when does anyone flood an inflation forum?

Well I'm assuming the goal is to not only be able to move around and do things and your new size, but to experience weight as well. Any suit would have to be extremely reinforced to withstand that much water.

You can't do it, it'd break very quickly!

What sort of inflation are you wanting? If it's just a specific area of your body (as in belly or whatever), then try just using a large balloon or something along those lines. The bigger ones are expensive for balloons, but I'm sure they're not as bad as having to replace or repair a popped catsuit, I'm sure.

Just be sure that you have a really stretchy suit that will support the balloon where ever you decide to put it. Hope this helped some!

What about something like this: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/04/21/pocket-size-exposure-suit/ ? The inner and outer layers are attached periodically. I suppose another option would be to inflate the suit with water while in a pool.

Either way, it probably isn't good to inflate a suit with water because water ruins latex/rubber and may cause mold/mildew to grow inside the suit. The only way I can think of drying the inside is to do many air inflations.

You can't compress water - a cubic foot of air can be compressed into a much smaller volume, but a cubic foot of water will be a cubic foot of water. Water will always seek the lowest spot it can; if you're standing up, any water in a water inflated suit will head towards your feet. That weight will put tension on the latex, causing it to stretch, and eventually fail.

Any suit filled with water will have to be made of stronger material than latex - like a water bed liner - and multi-celled, to keep weight/tension concerns manageable. Then, you'll need something to contain all those pieces, like a zentai suit, and some plumbing and venting to make sure it fills with water.

One cubic foot of water weighs in around 60 lbs/ 27kg, so you'd have to take it very slowly when moving around to make sure you don't hurt yourself. I've used large trash bags, which will take the weight fairly well, the problem is keeping all the weight supported, because it all eventually falls on your shoulders and back...I had one heckuva back ache the next day...
