This attractive harness is simple, fast to tie, and can be used for suspensions, but only side suspensions with the weave facing down, and only where the chest is even with or higher than the hips, as in a horizontal side suspension; do not use this for inversions. It allows you to have a single connection point that transfers the pressure to the opposite hip joint, nicely cradling and supporting your partner on a very strong part of their body. With practice, this can be tied in around 2 minutes.
This is a part of a series of related woven hip harness with similar features:
- Woven Hip Harness – One-Sided – Locked with Half-hitch (This tutorial)
- Woven Hip Harness – One-Sided – Rosette
- Woven Hip Harness – Two-Sided – Rosette
- The Leto Hip Harness
This variant is the fastest to tie, but also has the least friction in the weave. Depending on factors, some find that this version is more apt to tighten on the inner thigh. If that is the case for you, try the Rosette version to see if that suits you better.
Utilízalo en combinación con un arnés pectoral de apoyo como el Shinju, RopeFairy's Caress o Arnés de pescador (entre otras muchas opciones) para que tu pareja pueda tumbarse de lado en la cuerda. También considere la posibilidad de añadir apoyo para sus piernas, tal vez con un simple Bowline de Somerville u otros Columna única por encima de cada rodilla o tanto de la rodilla como del tobillo, o con algo más detallado como un Suspensión Futomomo.
IMPORTANTE: No utilice este si pretende invertir a su pareja en cualquier grado en el que su cabeza esté más baja que sus caderas. Este arnés proporciona un gran apoyo si la fuerza se inclina hacia arriba, hacia la cabeza y en cualquier grado entre eso y directamente hacia el lado. Pero tenga en cuenta que esta versión no tiene mucho para evitar que se deslice hacia abajo. Por lo tanto, si la fuerza apunta hacia abajo, corre el riesgo de que el arnés se deslice sobre la cadera. Si planea que su pareja se incline más allá de la horizontal, elija un arnés diferente, uno que se ancle sólidamente a la cintura, quizás el Arnés de tambor o Leto Harness (tutorial en preparación).
Para este tutorial, he utilizado un trozo de 30′ (~9m) de Cáñamo natural de 1/4″ (6mm). Extiende tu cuerda si necesita más; gastarlo si tienes demasiado.
Yo uso una increíble cuerda de cáñamo natural proporcionada por mi afiliado Twisted Monk. ¡Compruébalos!
Requisitos previos:
Contenido del video:
- Técnica del núcleo (0:21)
- Demostración del punto de conexión de la suspensión lateral horizontal (6:31)
Esto se muestra en el lado izquierdo: Voy a atar esto de manera que el tejido quede en el lado izquierdo de mi compañero. Atado de esta manera será el lado izquierdo el que quede hacia abajo si este lazo se utilizara en una suspensión lateral.
Para hacerlo en el lado derecho: En las siguientes instrucciones, te indico que utilices la mano derecha o la izquierda. Hacerlo de esta manera aumentará tu velocidad y eficacia. Si quieres hacer el nudo de forma que el tejido quede en el lado derecho, simplemente invierte todo lo que se indica a continuación. (Es decir: cuando yo diga "mano derecha" use la izquierda, etc.)
Longitud de la cuerda: Utilicé una cuerda de 9 metros. Era suficiente para esta persona en particular, con esta complexión en particular, para darme un total de tres vueltas. Si estuviera atando a una persona con una complexión diferente o si necesitara 4 vueltas, etc., necesitaría una cantidad diferente de cuerda. Tenga en cuenta que puede extender la cuerdasi necesita más.
Hi there!
Me (a 175 cm tall & 90 kg girl with a chubby build) and my partner (a 2 m tall & 100 kg athletic guy) tied this on each other and we’re running into the harness tightening itself around the thigh in a way that would end up being unsafe. We tried it over both clothing & bare skin, with 3 wraps & with 4 and the same issue arises – when weight is put into the harness the way it’s shown on pic 39, the part around the thigh starts tightening itself and it doesn’ really stop.
Is there any way to prevent this?
There are a number of reasons this might be, but my first suspect would be friction. If the rope itself has less friction between the strands, it can more easily slide in a configuration like this. So if, for example, you are using a synthetic fiber like nylon or mfp and you are feeling this effect, you may have a different result if you switch to a natural fiber like hemp which usually has greater ‘tooth’, i.e. more friction.
If you are already using a rope like that, you can add friction during the tying process by making sure there is enough tension in the ropes that the press into the skin for about 1/3 to 1/2 their diameter, and that you maintain that level of tension throughout the tie so that the weave is consistent and you can see the rope deflect around the other ropes as they go through the weave.
But before you spend time fiddling with that, I would suggest you try a different, related tie: https://www.theduchy.com/woven-hip-harness-one-sided-rosette/
This version does the lock off on the weave itself, automatically adding more friction. Try that version and see how it feels on you. Perhaps it is better suited to your needs.
Could you elaborate a little on the reasons behind avoiding inversion with this tie? Could you suggest a safe window in which your partner can be angled?
Certainly! I have updated it with the following: Do not use this if you intend to invert your partner to any degree where their head is lower than their hips. This harness provides great support if the force is angled upward toward the head and at any degree between that and straight out to the side. But note that this version does not have much keeping if from sliding down. Therefore, if the force is pointing downward at all, you run the risk of the harness sliding down over the hip. If you plan to have your partner tipped to any further than horizontal, choose a different harness, one that anchors solidly to the waist, perhaps the Drum Harness or Leto Harness (tutorial forthcoming).
Looking forward to trying this in a suspension. Tip: I had a lot of rope to burn. Too much to just wrap around the waste band, but not enough to go around both the waste and leg again. So I went just around the waste again, weaving it down and right back up and across the back.
