It’s not just the “inflatee” who gets to experience unequaled pleasure when playing with a blueberry suit. The dominant partner gets the chance to control their partner’s movements, forcing them to stay in one place as they tease them or having some fun rolling them all around the room or house. Some suits come with their own pump, usually a manually operated hand or foot pump similar to what is used to fill a party balloon with helium. The dominant partner uses their hand or foot to work the pump and fill the space between the two layers with air. This type of pump does require some effort to work most effectively, and some may find the process of inflating their partner in this slower manner tiring.

If your suit, hood or mask contains breathing tubes or breathing holes, make sure to clean them out after EVERY play session. This will avoid the risk of the tube becoming plugged by dirt or bodily fluids so that air can no longer pass through it. If you are wearing this type of suit and feel as though you are unable to get enough air, stop play IMMEDIATELY. The most commonly found type of access suit features two zippers, one which can be unzipped to expose the genital area and one the anus. This allows for manual or oral stimulation or penetrative sex to occur while using the suit to engage in inflation play. In addition, these zippers can be used for more mundane purposes, such as allowing the suited partner to use the bathroom if a play session goes on for a long time (although forcing you or your partner to “hold it” can add an intense new element to your play – the Laidtex staff definitely recommends giving it a try!) Actually inflating the human body to the size most fetishists prefer is either impossible or highly dangerous. Eating enough food or drinking enough fluids to truly “inflate” a person can come with a number of health risks such as obesity, diabetes, over-hydration or water poisoning. And filling the body with air to make them resemble a balloon or Violet Beauregard is extremely difficult if not impossible to carry out using currently existing technology. (It is also potentially dangerous, as too much air within the body can actually poison the blood or even cause skin or internal organs to “pop”). Always, always, ALWAYS establish a safeword or safe gesture that means STOP before engaging in play. A person wearing an inflation suit is often unable to move or remove the suit on their own. It is extremely important that they always possess the ability to signal for an immediate stop, even if their face and full body are totally covered by the suit. In this scenario, the larger partner, despite their limited control and range of movement, can take on a dominant role due to the sheer power which their new size grants them. They can do anything from cradling their smaller partner in between their enhanced breasts to squishing, crushing or even consuming them (a sub-fetish known as vorarephilia or vore) to further add to their massive size.

Inflatable latex clothes

A typical inflation suit consists of two distinct layers of latex. The inner layer hugs the body of the suit’s wearer, clinging tightly in a similar manner to a more standard catsuit. The presence of this inner layer makes the suit easier to put on and remove, lessens the risk of air escaping during play, and provides pleasurable sensation to the wearer. Some “inflatees” have compared the feeling of being squeezed and caressed by this tight layer to “receiving a sensual, full-body air massage” and describe it as extremely arousing and stimulating. However, it is also possible to find inflation suits which provide access to other areas of the body. For example, a large chest zipper might allow you to stroke or fondle your partner’s breasts, while a pair of small flaps might limit your chest access to only their extremely sensitive nipples. There are even access suits with long front or side zippers allowing you to put on and take off the suit without any assistance – perfect for solo play sessions! Because a blueberry suit leaves the limbs and especially the head free, it can often be inflated even further than other suits which cover these areas. The inflated individual can be made even larger than possible with other suits and yet experience no major risk of danger. If a “special access” inflatable suit is a regular part of your sexual play, make sure to clean off the zippers and surrounding areas thoroughly after each use. While more and more zippers are being made from plastic, some still involve metal pieces and can warp, bend, or rust if they are exposed to dirt, lubricant, or bodily fluids for an extended period of time without receiving a thorough cleaning. Read over the scenarios described above again and ask yourself – other than the shared “inflation” theme, what do they have in common? The answer is that most of the dreams of your average inflation fetishist must remain confined to the realms of fantasy, erotic literature and roleplay.

Inflation is a fetish which overlaps with many other sexual interests, including but not limited to latex, balloons, food or stuffing, liquid play, and the adoption of dominant and submissive roles. The core element of the inflation fetish is the idea of something, usually a human body but also sometimes a suit or object, growing larger and larger as it is filled with air, water, food, or other similar substances. We close out or exploration of the world of inflation kink with some important reminders about how to stay safe, healthy and clean when playing with your suits or accessories. We’ve asked the Laidtex staff what their number one most important tip or reminder for fellow inflation fans would be, and have compiled the following list based on the gathered results. These type of standard suits are usually referred to as inflatable catsuits or simply latex inflation suits. They are a classic, sexual piece which can easily find a home in any kinkster’s fun-filled toybox. If you’re new to inflation and want to give it a try, we recommend starting out with one of these suits to get a feel for what elements of inflation arouse you the most.Cleaning, storing and repairing an inflation suit can be done in the same way as you would with a more standard catsuit or gimp suit. Head over to our thorough latex maintenance guide here to learn more! The ball body, balloon body or B-body suit is a relatively new addition to the wide world of inflation play. It was designed by UK-based fetish gear manufacturer SlinkySkin, and was specifically targeted at those who enjoy combining inflation and latex play with full-body bondage and sensory deprivation. As one of its alternate names suggests, it is also frequently enjoyed by those who are aroused by balloons, as the suited, fully inflated partner can be said to resemble a sort of “human balloon”. When most people think about latex, they associate it with words such as sleek, shiny, and tight. A “standard” catsuit or enclosure suit snugly embraces the body, highlighting and emphasizing every curve and angle of the human form. Because most ball-body suits cover the head, they are usually fitted with one or more breathing tubes so that the inflated partner receives a sufficient amount of air throughout. Inspect the suit frequently to make sure that the breathing tubes are working properly and are not clogged or dirty. They should also be thoroughly cleaned after every play session to avoid any buildup of dirt, grit or bodily fluids. As the inflated partner will likely be unable to speak, establish a “safe-gesture” which they are capable of performing while in the suit. It is important that even a fully bound, sense-deprived individual have some agreed-upon method of communicating a desire to slow down or stop at any time. A person wearing a ball hood cannot see, smell, or hear, allowing some degree of sensory deprivation play to be carried out. It can also be paired with a latex catsuit, whether inflatable or not, or ropes and chains for full-body bondage. A person in a ball hood and full suit can be used for doll or mannequin play, due to their inability to speak or move under their own power.

The last commonly seen type of inflation suits and accessories are those inspired by real-life situations in which inflation is used. They are most typically used by individuals with a sexual interest in roleplay, and can help a sexy scenario become even more immersive than ever before.

Latex, with its highly elastic nature, is the perfect material for making long-lasting, high-quality inflation suits. When it is filled with air, latex will stretch and stretch with little danger of tearing or popping. (However, if the inflated subject popping or exploding is a part of your fantasy, latex can be successfully punctured by pretty much any sharp metal object). Latex is also waterproof and does not stain easily, should you prefer liquid inflation over air. After this inner “skin” comes a second, somewhat looser layer of the same latex. It is this outer layer which undergoes the actual process of inflation. It is here where the differences between variant types of inflation suits can be observed. The answer lies, as discussed in many of the above sections, with sensory deprivation and sensation. Inflatable blindfolds have been found to be even more effective at removing the sight than the standard “strip of cloth” style, due to pressing more tightly against the eyes and creating an unbreakable “seal”. In addition, many submissives find the tight, massage-like pressure against their eyes to be comforting or arousing. Inflation is a unique fetish which is still not widely known, but it is growing in popularity every day. And while its niche within the wider world of latex might be a small one, the types of inflatable suits and accessories on the market are increasing in number and variety all the time.
