Help I think I can do full suspension now

[cookiencream]

I just recently bought a new rope. It's 3/8" thick with a safe work load limit of 133 lbs so around 10 mm and 60kg. I'm 5'2 106 so it can more than hold my weight. The only thing I need now is a good anchor. For full suspension can padding be used? I don't want to compress my trachea if I can to avoid SI. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think I may need to get a rope with a higher safe load limit

I was going to suggest a higher load limit. You will start convulsing which will put extra strain on the rope.

Thank you, I'll go back to the store tomorrow and look

That rope is fine. It's not the tensile strength that is indicated there. The tensile strength and the safe working load are two different things. The tensile strength of this rope is probably somewhere between 240 and 420 kg (or 4x to 7x the safe working load). The safe working load is the weight that the rope can be safely used with under normal operation.

Of course, you can get a stronger one, but it's not necessary.

Personally, I wouldn't use padding. I would be afraid that it shifts out of position, or that I do it incorrectly, in which case it does more harm than good. I don't think padding is necessary. If you don't want to compress your trachea, place the rope above the Adam's apple, below the jawline. The trachea goes from the voice box (larynx) down to the lungs.

My trachea is still being compressed when I do it...it's not painful but it's very uncomfortable and makes me gag a bit. Granted I haven't tried with my entire weight. My new rope is 1/2" in diameter (12mm) and my neck itself is a bit small.

I think that something that doesn't get talked about enough is how one can alleviate the pressure on the trachea simply by grabbing the rope and slightly pushing up with the arms. This way one should lose consciousness without feeling to much pain on the throat. Of course I never practiced full suspension because that's not something you can practice, but I will try to emulate this video posted by Evelyn (NSFW):

i am also choosing to go with full suspension. i'd like to know everything that is being used, so i may do the same!!!
i hope all is well.

Yes, I find this interesting too. It is hard to tell if the lady in the video you linked does indeed pull herself up on the ligature a little? Anyway, she could do that because that seems to be a rather wide leather belt of some sorts. I know I couldn't do it on a 10-12 mm rope.

Evelyn recommends stepping off the support in one go in her 'Guide on how to loose Consciousness' at first, but further down in the comments she notes that it would be gentler on the trachea to lower yourself with the help of a towel or pair of trousers or such:

For the same reason I like how this guy lowers himself from the door frame until he loses consciousness.

Obviously just fully stepping off also works, if you can get yourself to do it. To me the lowering approach looks more attractive for now (needs experimenting).

That video is very helpful too. I think both videos basically show the same thing: they alleviate the pressure on the throat by either grabbing the rope or the edges of the door frame. Just keep in mind that not every setup has something near that you can leverage (like a door frame) while by definition you will always have a rope above your head.

I don't know how difficult it is to do that with a 12mm rope, that's something that you need to test but I don't think it should be impossible to keep the grip for merely a bunch of seconds.
