Which Custom Tape Should Your Business Use?

In the world of packaging and branding, choosing the right custom tape for your business is a crucial decision. Custom tape not only serves the practical purpose of sealing packages but also acts as a powerful branding tool. With a plethora of options available in the market, selecting the tape that aligns with your business needs and objectives is essential. In this article, we’ll explore the factors to consider when choosing custom tape and highlight some popular options.

Which custom tape to use for your business?

In this article, Mr Gaurav Jalan, Founder of Packman Packaging India’s leading custom tapes manufacturer for retail and e-commerce businesses shares ideas for choosing custom tape. Let us what it is about.

Consider Your Branding: Custom tape is an excellent opportunity to extend your brand identity beyond the confines of your product. Consider the colors, logo, and overall aesthetic of your brand when designing custom tape. Whether you opt for a bold and eye-catching design or a subtle and sophisticated look, the tape should reflect the essence of your brand. Material Matters: The material of the custom tape plays a crucial role in its functionality and appearance. Common materials include polypropylene, PVC, and paper. Polypropylene is durable and cost-effective, making it a popular choice for general packaging. PVC offers a higher level of strength and is resistant to moisture and chemicals. Paper tape, on the other hand, is eco-friendly and provides a rustic appeal. Choose a material...

I made Aziraphale’s waistcoat about two months ago and boy it was a journey

Rant about the process under cut!

First thing to do was pick a fabric. For the visible fabric on the front and collar, I knew I definitely wanted to use something piled. I also did not want to use a synthetic fabric, which would have been cheaper but miserable to wear. I settled on cotton velveteen which would be more comfortable, slightly cheaper and easier to work with than silk velvet, and generally less shiny than silk. I was able to order some beautiful cotton velveteen from someone local.

Unfortunately it was not even in the same ballpark as the color I needed. This was due to a combination of reasons including the lighting in the photos they had (they were online only and didn’t have a storefront I could walk into), piled fabric in general being nigh impossible to accurately photograph the color of, and probably also some variations between dye batches. This is why we buy swatches when we can, folks.

The fabric itself was absolutely lovely though. So. No biggie I’ll just dye this myself what could go wrong

The dark brown here is after the first dye; the scrap laying on top on the right is the original color; the beige coat underneath for color reference. Note that even the colors in this picture looked quite different from irl. I did dip a scrap in first to check the color, but because Dyeing Is Weird and also I made some mistakes the final dye did not end up the same. I can write several more paragraphs on why this probably happened. We’d be here for a while.

But maybe it’ll be fine right? The color’s not exact but not offensive, maybe I’ll just start sewing and it won’t bother me that much.

Here’s a bit of that process, where you can see the interior of the waistcoat with interlining and twill tape, following some 19th century construction techniques. Lots of tedious but relaxing hand sewing. (Also, real pockets!)

I chose broadcloth for the interlining rather than a more typical canvas, because I wanted a more soft and aged look rather than crisp and new.

(I made another mistake here using cotton twill tape straight off the roll, which shrunk later in the process. You can see this later in how the edges pucker a bit. Oops. Oh well.)

(I also have no other photos of this stage because I went into the hyperfocus zone and forgot about everything except the task in front of me)

Turns out I was not ok with the color. It bothered me a lot.

So I tried to bleach it a tad to lighten the color, but Bleaching Is Also Weird and doesn’t always give you back the same color but lighter.

I got back something extremely orange tones, which bothered me even more. Had a minor breakdown until reboot papped me and helped me talk through how to fix this.

This ended up going through another round of light bleaching, and two rounds of dyeing over with blue to cancel out the orange. Finally I got something I was happy with!

You can very clearly see the puckering here caused by the shrinking tape..thankfully a good steaming was able to get rid of the worst of it.

The color is also slightly uneven if you look very closely, because rounds of the dyeing/bleaching happened after it was sewn together rather than as fabric pieces. Oh well. I can chalk this up to an “aged” look.

Time to finish it off with some buttons and 19th century style hand-worked buttonholes! The buttons aren’t accurate but I just went for ones that were the right size and vibes.

Last step was to add the wear around the buttons, hem, and collar. I’m sure there’s some faster way to do this, but I did it with a pair of eyebrow tweezers to pluck out the pile and a bit of sandpaper to finish off.

And that’s it! For the waistcoat at least. I also made the outer coat, the bow tie, and the blue shirt because I couldn’t find one for purchase that fit me. I still need to make other things. But that’s for another time.

Found On A Rainy Day - 1k words

There is a knock at the door, one that leaves a box full of surprises.

Or: Treebark week 2023, Day 3: Puppies!!

A03 Link

It's a rainy day one day, the day that there is a knock on Martyn and Ren's front door. The latter is upstairs, busy with some work he has to do digitally, though the man swears he'll been down in just a minute. But Ren's been swearing that for the past twenty minutes or so, so Maryn isn't very inclined to belive him anymore.

He calls up that he'll get the door, and opens it as Ren's responding shout of okay rings from the second story. 

The blonde finds no one at the door when he opens it, and looks around in slight confusion. The rain might be starting to pour outside, but even through all that he can't see any sort of movement. Except for the rain, the world out there seems completely still. Martyn’s about to close the door, as he's not too fond of how he's getting slightly damp from the downpour; small bits of hair already starting to stick to his face. 

And then he looks down, and there has been a box sitting at his feet this whole time. A brown cardboard one that's been getting more soaked then the blonde had ever been. 

Well, dropping it off and running was certainly a strange move from the mailman. 

At first glance it looks like a package, and he's about to ask Ren what the hell he ordered, because Martyn certainly didn't buy anything online recently. But he glances at his again, and there is tape holding the box shut, but not the usual hard to open with your bare hands kind they usually put on these things. There's no sort of logo or branding on the box either, which is weird if Ren did order something online. And if he looks at the side, there are small holes. Like air holes maybe, and Martyn suddenly had a bad feeling about what might be in that box in front of him. 

"Hey babe," He calls, turning inside a bit. "Can you come down here for a second?" 

As Martyn turns back to face the box, Ren calls down to him, probably able to hear that something is off in Martyn’s voice. "Yeah, what is it?" He can hear the frown in his partner’s from here as he crouched down to open the supossed package in front of him. 

He pulls his hoodie over his head and tugs at the strings first, because it is still raining out there. Well, there is a small overhang above their door and all, but it's very clearly not doing much. There's a soaked cardboard box in front of him to prove it. 

As he's starting to open the box, breaking through the kind of tape you can buy at a crafts store or discount one, Ren's footsteps sound in the main room behind him. 

It's a good thing too, because Martyn opens the lid of the package and feels something wet start to nose at his hand. A little bewildered, he opens it further, and finds a few sets of eyes staring back at him. It takes a minute for the blonde to realize what exactly he's staring at, but once he does he drags the box closer to the door, and picks up one of the creatures from it. He feels bad for letting the box sit there in the rain for so long, standing in front of it like a buffoon. 

He stands, holding a small puppy in his arms, one that rather seems to like people. It sniffed his face, tounge sticking out a little bit. Martyn laughs, feeling it's tiny tail thump against his arm. 

Ren is behind him now, trying to peer over his shoulder. "What's wrong, dude?" His partner asks, slightly concerned gaze falling onto the blonde's back. 

"You didn't order a box of puppies, did you?" Martyn asks with a smile, turning to face his boyfriend. The one in his arms is colored like a chocolate lab might be, but who's ears are pointy instead of floppy. He couldn't identify the breed of the thing at first glance, so he assumes it's a mix of some kind, or it's some dog breed he's only heard of passively yet never really seen before.

Ren's face lights up at the sight of the animal in his arms, and crouched down to look into the rest of the box. "Hey little dudes and dudettes!" He says softly, picking up a second puppy from the box. Second of about five, maybe six, if Martyn had countess right the first time. 

"I wasn't expecting there to be dogs at the door, man!" He says, now holding a puppy in his arms as well. One that's more sad and scared of people than Martyn’s seems to be. "I thought it was something more serious!"

"Welk, it's kinda serious," Martyn says with a slight frown, crouching down to return his puppy to it's siblings in the box. "Someone left the poor things in the pouring rain after all."

"Yeah...just like a movie cliché or something..." Ren mumbled, carrying the puppy he was holding inside as Martyn picked up the box. The rest of the animals inside made sounds of surprisebat the sudden movement, but none protested or tried to jump out of the box as they were moved into the couple's small living room. 

He sets the box down, and opens it fully, allowing the rest of the puppies to jump out if they want to. Ren puts the ones he's carrying down, and goes to fetch a towel to dry them off with. 

Slowly but surely, Martyn manages to get all the puppies out if the box. Some are more scared than other, but eventually all seven if them are sitting on his living room floor. Seemed he'd missed one when counting after all. 

Ren returns with the towel, and starts to gently dry one of the pups dampened fur. He hands Martyn another one he'd grabbed, and the blonde gets to work as well. 

"We're gonna have to get them food and stuff after this." He mutters, pausing to scratch one of the puppies, a brown one with parts of white fur on it, a few scrapes behind the ears. It's one of the less skittish ones, a few of It's siblings understandably being a bit wary of people. 

"Yeah..." Ren responded quietly, a third dog curling up next to him as he did so. His boyfriend glances at the pups laid beside his legs, and smiles softly. "They seem to like me, don't they?"

"Well, you are a dog!" Martyn says, being close enough to give Ren his own scratch behind one of his ears. His boyfriend's tail thumps against the floor of that, and he giggles. This exact thing had happened so many times that Ren doesn't even say anything in protest, just blushes in light embrassment. 

"They're adorable..." Ren mutters a few moments later, holding a rather shy seeming pup to his chest. Martyn narrows his eyes good naturedly at that. 

"We can't keep any!" He laughs, petting another dog as he dries water from it's fur. 

"But look at them!" Ren protests, and he makes a pretty convincing argument. These are some very cute little guys and girls. 

"Taking care of one dog is already hard enough!" He jokes, and Ren laughs loudly, but not too loudly, as to not startle the puppies. And they lapse into silence again until both men are sure the dogs around them are fully dry and probably no longer freezing. 

"I can go get the stuff now, if you think you can handle all these guys?" Ren asks, standing slowly. Martyn nods in response, and before he knows it Ren is gone, and he is home alone with seven little dogs. 

The poor guys seem pretty tired, all of them clearly wanting to Sniff around and investigate the house, but they all end up flopped on the ground instead. Martyn smiles, and decides to set up a space for them in the downstairs bathroom. He would like to have them closer to he and Ren just in case, but he's not sure if the pups have grasped what stairs are yet. 

So he goes to essentially baby proof the bathroom. He closes the toilet lid so they can't drink the water and whatever germs reside in it, makes sure all the cabinets are closed nicely, and figures that they can't do much about the dogs exploring the shower at the very least. 

He finds a few blankets tucked away in a closet, the soft ones they never use, and spreads them across the tile of the bathroom floor. He suposses the puppies can eat when Ren returns back with food, and probably some toys, or whenever they want to. Considering that some basically fall asleep in his arms as he carries them into the bathroom. 

He stays with them for a bit longer, at least until his boyfriend returns home, and snaps a picture of all seven of the puppies. He sends it to a group chat--the big one full of eighteen of their friends--and asks if anyone can make room for a dog or two. He knows they'll probably keep one, already sensing both he and his boyfriend getting attached despite Martyn’s own earlier protests, but still knows they can't keep all seven; unfortunately. 

He gives the first dog he'd picked up some more scratches, chuckling lightly at the messages that flood the group chat. He does so until Ren comes home and he hears the door opening, and it is time go greet his boyfriend and feed some poor, formerly abandoned puppies.

So, new project on my part! I decided to try my hand at a DIY Kentucky Rifle instead of just buying one. I got a kit by Pedersoli, .50 cal flintlock, and have effectively zero experience to speak of in actually making a firearm.

The kit came with everything fully assembled as shown above (probably to save space for shipping), but it had to be taken apart so that the different parts could be finished before reassembly. (I naturally dry fired a couple of times and got it to flash, which was cool, but thebtrigger pull was advertised at a monstrous 13.5 pounds, and it didn't disappoint.)

Everything disassembled, so let's start with sanding down the stock.

The stock came shaped properly to allow for a good fit, but wasn't finished much beyond that. So, the plan is to sand it, stain it, seal it, oil it, and apply a sheen. The kit I got didn't include a sealer, so that's on mail order.

Sanded the stock down by hand at 60 grit, then 80, 120, 180, 220, 320, 400, and finally 600 grit sanding, and it feels really smooth now. I did a light sanding on the ramrod, but got a nasty blister on my thumb (two blisters merged into one) amd stopped for the night last night.

Next morning (today), the plan is to work on the barrel before staining the stock. It came lightly vlued to prevent rust during shipping, but this is supposed to be removed for browning. (Bluing and browning are both controlled corrosion processes to cause a reaction on the surface of the metal, which prevents unwanted and uncontrolled corrosion in the form of rust while also ideally providing a better aesthetic.)

Some quick online research says that bluing can be easily removed with white distilled vinegar, so I go that route. I don't have a container long enough to hold the barrel entirely, so I dip part of the barrel in a contained filled with 2 gallons of vinegar, andnuse rags to soak the other end and sub down the barrel itself.

Bare steel is visible by the end of this process, but it's also allowing the vinegar to cause corrosion as it sits on the steel for too long. I panic, rinse the barrel inside ant out with the garden hose, throw the barrel in a bench vise and quickly sand it at 120 grit to get rid of any external corrosion.

So after I scoured at 120 grit and stopped panicking, I looked into the bore and started panicking again. See, I had read that you should plug the muzzle and touch hole with wood plugs before browning or bluing, but had seen nothing about prepping before de-bluing. I tried covering them with electrical tape, but that didn't work, so I had the same corrosion inside the bore, probably the last place I would want it. I used what solvents and cleaners I had on hand (Hoppe's No. 9 solvent, Eagle 1 Nevr-Dull polish, and Hoppe's Elite foaming cleanser). I started with shotgun patches to match the wide bore, but the rifling was cut very sharply and those patches started disintegrating in the bore, so I tried pistol-sized patches and had better luck (different material from a different company). Went through like a dozen or two patches and a wad of polish and cleared out not only the corrosion, but also whatever was lining the bore previously (still not sure if it was carbon from the test shot at the factory or some lining for longevity, but whatever it was, it's gone now).

Once that was done, I sanded the outside of the barrel (with less panic, finally) up to 600 grit. Not quite a mirror finish, but now it actually looks like stainless steel.

Then I sanded the ramrod to 600 grit as well.

And here we are. I tried filing down a dowel to work as the wood plugs for this, but gave up because I was getting nowhere fast, amd ordered a set of conical wood plugs (advertised as emergency wooden plugs, I think the idea is to keep them on a boat and use them to plug a leak if one shows up). So I can't actually brown the barrel until they show up, just like I can't seal the stock until the sealant shows up. Hoping that before the night is out, I can stain the stock and ramrod, and polish all of the brass and the outside of the barrel. The plan from there, starting tomorrow when the remaining materials are set to arrive, would be to initiate the first cost of browning (since that takes hours to cure before the next coat), seal the stock while waiting for that to cure, and maybe apply the first coat of oil once the sealant is dry and the second or third coat of browning solution is curing. Apparently the browning can take up to 4-5 applications, so it might span two days, and the wood oil should apparently take a few coats at about one coat per day. I'll probably take the time to clean the bore out one last time somewhere in there too. Once the oil is done, I apparently wait a week until applying a satin sheen coating, and assemble everything once that's dry.

Like I mentioned at the end of my last post, besides making a few alterations to my shirt and vest for my Batuu Bound outfit, I also got started on a new sewing project over the last two weeks, something which might also make an appearance if/when we're able to go to Batuu again, but until then will also be a nicely functional piece just around the house.

To back up a bit, I ordered a lightsaber for my birthday -- as you do when you're an adult going through a resurgence of your childhood love for Star Wars, lol -- but the one I bought on Amazon ended up being not quite what I was hoping for. I returned it and spent some more time researching exactly what I wanted for my purposes (spinning and flow arts) and what would fit my small hands and short stature the best.

I ended up ordering from an excellent small business called Vire Sabers that lets you assemble your own lightsaber from the 'variable hilt component' system of pieces that all fit together. I spent a lot of time looking through all the various pieces and combinations, including putting them all together in a photo editor until I had something that I was happy with, that is just mine, and no one else's.

The saber really deserves a post all of its own, but first I want to do some weathering on the hilt and get some video of the flow skills I've been building up over the last week and a half since it arrived. I'll post something about it eventually.

And anyway, this post is really more about sewing a padded sheath for the saber.

It's another stash-busting project, like everything else in my Batuu Bound set, for which I only bought ~$4 of cotton batting -- which is handy because when I started on it, I wasn't sure when Jack and I would be working next. The contract work situation has resolved now, but even without that, it's always nice to move fabric and crafting supplies out of my stash and into a finished, useful item.

With consideration to possibly wearing this on my back with my Batuu Bounding outfit in the (near?) future, I decided to go with a brown color palette. From my stash I pulled out:

some yardage of non-stretchy faux suede that I probably bought more than 10 years ago for a project I can no longer remember, that has kind of a grippy texture to the suede surface

wool scraps left over from the screen-accurate Jedi robe I sewed for Jack in 2012

the tan cotton canvas I bought in January when I was thinking about covering the zippers of my Moment vest rather than sewing a completely new one

brown RIT dye that again I have no idea when or why I bought it, along with a little pink and violet RIT dyes probably left over from Hit Girl in 2010

brown velcro left over from an ill-fated attempt at building disability-friendly pillows for my couch nest

~34" of 1" wide twill tape left over from my steampunk corset I sewed in 2011

rock climbing-rated seamless aluminum O rings left over from the tensegrity stand and tent I built for Wasteland Weekend 2018

dark maroon thread that came in a set of thread that I bought online when I sewed my Oswin Oswald cosplay in 2020 and couldn't go to a store to buy just one color of thread, lol

The cotton canvas was perfect for the exterior of the case/sheath/bag thing, but the color wasn't a great match for the rest of my Batuu Bounding outfit. I had used a bit of the canvas to make a collar stand for Jack's jacket late last month, so I zigzag stitched the cut edges and threw it in the washing machine with a bunch of nearly boiling water, salt, and the brown, pink, and violet RIT dyes. I had more of the brown than the pink and the violet together, but my hope was to bring the "dark brown" RIT color plus the slightly greenish tan of the cotton towards a warmer brown. I let it agitate for about half an hour, and ended up really loving the final color.

With the exterior in progress, it was time to figure out the interior. I knew I wanted to make this case/sheath padded to give the saber a bit of cushioning while being carried around, but I also didn't want to buy more than I would use (or spend a ton of money, given that I was buying this while we were in between work contracts), so most quilt batting was out, as was most foam. I ended up buying half a yard (18") of 90" long cotton batting, then cutting it into four 9" x 45" pieces and layering those on top of each other. It's not a huge amount of loft, but it is a good amount of squish, and hopefully reasonable padding for the circumstances I expect to use the case in.

I sandwiched the cotton batting between one layer of the brown (Jedi robe!) wool and one layer of the non-stretch faux suede. In the picture below, the darkest brown is the wool, and just to the left of that is the dyed canvas.

The wool won't be visible at all once this is all sewn together, and the faux suede only slightly visible at the top opening, but I like how the colors all coordinate without matching exactly.

Since the cotton batting is pretty solid, quilting wasn't entirely necessary, but I did want to make sure the layers stayed together without shifting around too much, and also give the thick layers specific places to bend to form a nice round tube shape. I ended up quilting it into six narrow panels that run the whole length of the sheath, with the outer two panels each 1 cm wider for seam allowance when I sew this into a tube.

I also narrowed the entire interior from 9" (measured flat) to 8", so that it hugs the saber better, and so that I can fit the narrow portion of the canvas around the bulk of the interior + saber.

The notch cut out of the upper left corner of the interior is there to create a flap that will fold over the open end of the bag/case and secure in place with velcro. I may try to find ways to sneak a few velcro attachment points into the exterior, so that it can be closed at various lengths (ie with or without the hilt).

The dyed cotton canvas will eventually get a matching notch cut out of it, and the right sides of the interior and exterior sewn together before the interior is stuffed into the exterior, at which point it will look somewhat like this:

Before I sew the exterior into a tube, I'm going to sew a pocket or two for carrying small essentials like blade tension screws. I'll also sew the twill tape into place, set slightly in from the top and bottom, and put those aluminum rings onto the twill tape when I do. That way the carrying strap will be gripping the whole case, all the way around, rather than have all the stress in one place. The lightsaber is only about two and a half pounds, and I can't imagine the case will weigh any more than that, but still, I want to be sure that there's nice firm support that won't give out and end up dropping the saber on the ground.

Also, can I just point out the color match between the dyed canvas and the old left over piece of twill ribbon? I wasn't aiming for that! I wanted a warm brown, which is why I added the pink and violet dyes (and would have added red if I had any on hand), but I didn't even pull the twill tape from my stash until after I was done dyeing the canvas. It matches so well it looks like I bought them as a pair, but they were bought more than a decade apart and didn't match before I just chucked whatever dyes I had on hand into the washer, lol. I would have been fine with a bit of a color mismatch, but this works too!

At this point, I think I'm ready to sew the interior into a tube, with the grippy faux-suede on the inside, and the wool on the outside where it will eventually be sandwiched next to the canvas. I have squares of the cotton batting from where I cut out the notch for the flap, so I think I'm going to try to sew those to the outside of the seam along the narrow bottom edge, to give that even more padding. That's a lot of layers to put through my sewing machine, so we'll see if it'll cooperate or if I'll end up doing that bit by hand.

After that, I'm going to turn my attention to the exterior. I have some smaller pieces of dyed canvas that aren't in the above pictures, that I'm going to use to make a crossbody strap that connects to the those rings, along with a pocket or two. The pockets, some of the velcro closures, and the twill tape and rings need to be sewn down before I can turn the canvas into a tube, so all of that will be the next major step in this project.

I think I also want to paint (or sharpie) some Aurebesh on the exterior canvas, something along the lines of 'fragile antique - handle with care'. The character I put together for my Batuu adventures isn't a Jedi (or a Sith), but rather makes a living finding antiques and oddities on outer rim worlds and transporting them to the inner rim and core worlds to sell at a profit. Not many people can read Aurebesh, but it'll add a bit of visual texture and storytelling all the same. And then if I have another run in with Kylo Ren, I can state for certain that I'm not a Jedi sympathizer, just an antiques dealer looking to turn a profit, lol.

If we do end up going to a Star Wars Nite at Disneyland, I think it could be fun to take my saber along, participate in the lightsaber meetup in front of the Falcon, and maybe even get some photos or videos of my spinning skills while I'm there. But even if this case is only ever used to store my saber here at home, it'll give it a place to live that's not my sewing table, where it's been living since it arrived, and the rings will let me hang it from a hook on the wall rather that take up any horizontal surface space. It'll be nice to look at while also keeping my saber easily accessible and ready to spin.

We don't have tickets for a Star Wars Nite event yet, but the first one is on April 16th, so I'm giving myself just under a month to finish this. I don't think I'll need that long -- but with the new work situation starting up tomorrow, it's really hard to say. I could have it finished by this time next week, or be hurrying to finish it the last weekend before we go back to Batuu, we'll just have to see how this next month works out.

Either way, I'll post more pictures here as it comes together.

Hypnosis at CAPCon - Part 1

Klein woke up and ripped the headphones off his ears. To his disappointment, when he reached down to grab his diaper, he found it completely and utterly dry.

“Come on!” he cried. In frustration, Klein banged his fists on the bed and tilted his head back in anguish. Another failed tape, another failed night, another dry diaper.

Klein had been into diapers for as long as he could remember. He had started out small of course, sneaking depends from the grocery store and the usual stuff you hear about from people. He had then evolved into buying from sample stores and then from the larger companies like Tykables and Northshore.

But as long as he could remember, he had one specific fantasy, one specific state of mind he wanted to be in. Klein dreamed of being a bedwetter.

There was something delicious about completely losing control completely unable to control yourself and waking up with a soaked wet diaper, squishy and warm - the ultimate sign of regression.

This is why, for the past several years, Klein had gone to every single hypnosis vendor he could think of to make his vision a reality.

The journey was difficult of course. No one wants to admit to themselves that they want to return to bedwetting like a child. And many people offered hypnosis files. Klein had gotten used to the process by now. He’d receive the file on his alternate email address, download it to his phone and eagerly go to bed at night waiting for the magic to happen. Sometimes, a male's voice would remind him in soft tones that he needed diapers. In other recordings, it would be an aggressive woman telling him just to “relax” and “let go” because his diapers would protect him.

But each time Klein would wake up dry. Utterly dry. Completely dry.

Granted, Klein had tried drinking a ton of water before bed, so much water he’d feel it sloshing around inside his stomach every time he turned over in bed. He’d pull the diaper tapes tight and fall asleep on his back, his legs spread out slightly, willing himself to wet. But each time, he’d just wake up with pain in his abdomen a dry diaper, and an extremely hard erection.

Klein had even tried taking a sleeping pill, willing himself to just sleep through the wetting at night. But this tactic only resulted in him falling deep into sleep and the next morning waking up in a dry diaper and a painfully full bladder. Klein would then proceed to flood that diaper when awake, which defeated the point. Anyone can pee when they wake up in the morning, Klein would think bitterly.

Klein had bought books on the subject, reading them during breaks at work. The books were from people claiming they knew the secret to losing control overnight. Just loosen up your bladder during the day, train yourself to just use your diaper, the books all said after collecting his $9.99. But Klein wanted to be careful. Despite what many people said online, he had no interest in losing control during the day. Klein just wanted it at night. Klein wanted this his way. Besides, no one actually wanted to be incontinent.

It had been a few months since Klein had dragged himself out of his dry bed again, disappointed that he had not wet the bed. And now, at CAPCon, the annual convention of those who liked to wear diapers and have fun in those diapers, he was browsing the vendor tables.

The stuffy, medium-sized room had all sorts of vendors he had seen before. Clothing shops, furniture shops, and even writers who wrote mediocre ABDL fiction that told the same story repeatedly. After buying a pack of diapers from a vendor, a small table caught his attention.

The table simply said Stella’s Sleepys. It caught his eye because not only was “sleepies” misspelled, but there was a kind, fit-looking woman sitting behind the table reading a book.

Klein took a step closer and noticed she was wearing round glasses with dark brown hair that cascaded down her shoulders. The woman, whose name was no doubt Stella (it wasn’t Sleepies… that’s for sure) was wearing a simple army green tank top and a pair of dark blue jeans. At a glance, Klein noticed the book she was reading was a book on philosophy.

What was unusual was the table was completely empty, save for an envelope that just sat there bearing the number one.

“What does Stella’s Sleepys sell?” Klein asked casually, approaching the table and doing his best to sound nonchalant.

“This isn’t for you,” the woman said without looking up from her book. She pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose. “Move along.”

Klein laughed a little bit. “Oh, come on, What’s in the envelope?”

The woman laughed. “It’s not for you.” Stella turned the page in her book.

Klein grabbed the envelope and the woman protested as he pulled it open. Inside was a piece of paper with a code on it. Klein made a mental note of the random URL right before Stella grabbed the envelope from him. But Klein shivered when he caught the words: Bedwetter Files.

Klein’s heart skipped a beat.

Bedwetter Files?

“Is this a hypnosis file?” Klein demanded.

Stella closed her book and placed the envelope into her book as a bookmark. “Yes, it is.”

“Do you make them, is that was Stella’s Sleepy’s makes?”

“Yes, but it’s probably best if you move on. You don’t look like the type of person who wants this.” Stella did Klein a once over with her eyes and pushed her book into her bag.

“Hold on a second…” Klein held his hands up and gestured around to the convention around here. “Everyone here wants this.”

Stella stood up and leaned over the table, and looked closely at Klein. “That’s presumptuous.” Stella then walked around the table and leaned on it while looking Klein in the eye. She spoke quietly as if they might be overheard at any second. “Every year, there’s one person at CAPCon who thinks they want what's on this tape, but the reality is they don’t.”

“Hold on a second.”

But Stella continued speaking in an even tone, bulldozing over Klein’s protest.

“Different types of people too. Sometimes it’s guys and girls like you dressed in sweatpants and (Stella’s voice hovered over unapproving) t-shirts, other times, it’s the people in full onesies and thick diapers with pacifiers hanging around their necks. Each time they show up, tell me they want to lose complete control and before you know it before the weekend is over, they are begging me to help them get it back.” Stella blinked and studied Klein’s face.

But Klein was insistent. “They clearly don’t know what they want.” Klein was breathless as he tried his best to remember the URL in his head. “Trust me, I want this.”

Stella shook her head. “No, you don’t.” And with that, she picked up her bag, shoved her book inside and walked away.

Klein closed his eyes for a second, thought deeply, and proceeded to type in the URL and code from the envelope into his web browser. He was rewarded with the proper website meaning his concentration had paid off.

A warning popped up on his phone warning him that this hypnosis file was designed for people who wanted to lose complete control and that once losing that control, it would be difficult to regain it. There was more text that talked about how the creator bared no responsibility for what happens, blah, blah, blah. Klein had seen all of this before.

Had Klein been honest with himself, he didn’t expect this hypnosis file to work. They never worked. But Stella’s performance earlier had him shaking with anticipation.

Klein clicked to accept and noticed there were three levels of recordings on the screen. They seemed to be ranked from low to intense. The file marked intense had another warning next to it that claimed it was for “experienced users only.”

Klein snorted.

At this point, he had tried every file out there and knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted to wake up the next morning with his diaper soaked and no memory of wetting. Klein wanted to have to use a booster every night in fear that he’d overflood his diaper and soak his bed. He wanted the erotic feeling of being unable to put his legs together as he lay helplessly on his back at night.

Klein wanted to be a real bedwetter.

For a moment, Klein bought into the idea that this could work for him.

So Klein clicked the “experienced users only” file and downloaded the file to his phone.

For some reason, the file was a little over a gigabyte large and came with another warning. Klein ignored the third warning of the week and climbed into bed. Right before pulling the covers over his head, he double-checked to make sure his diaper was on tight and that the leak guards were standing up and clicked play.

Instantly, every center of his brain came alive.

First, there was a dark low vibrating pulse that was nearly covered by soft angelic waves that crashed over the melody of the track. If the ocean had come alive and made music, this is what it would sound like. The pulse seemed to propel his body forward repeatedly, pushing his mind deeper and deeper into the track. While Klein knew he was falling asleep, he felt as if he were moving in real-time. Before Klein knew it, the waves crashed over him again, the soft electric tones urging him to relax and surrender to the waves. The waves were moving his body for him.

But when his mind probed deeper into the musical tones, he heard the voice. The voice was soft as if it was speaking directly into his consciousness, his very being. It was as if the voice weren’t hers, it was coming from beneath his very heartbeat. Klein’s mind focused on the voice and willed itself to listen closely to the soft delicate flow that hovered directly beneath the ocean.

The voice was speaking directly to the innermost part of his soul.

“You need your diapers… you only feel safe in your diapers… you need to wet your diapers… your diapers are a part of who you are… Every night you wet your diapers uncontrollably…”

Klein’s brain dove deeper into the voice followed the voice through the passageways and tunnels in his mind and willed himself to believe. Klein wanted to believe that this could work. He wanted to believe that he could become a bedwetter, and the voice told him he could.

“You can’t control your bladder…” the voice said softly. “You need to mess your diapers during the day….”

Wait a second… Klein’s mind stirred against the waves. I don’t want that. Hold on.

But the voice and the waves pushed him forward, demanding he follow its lead. Klein fought for a moment, gasped, and woke up.

I'm feeling like yapping because I slept very poorly last night, so: Here's the story of that human Ratchet cosplay and why I'm lowkey convinced it's cursed

Start planning cosplay months in advance for a school event

See the perfect belt for it while in Rhodes with my family. It's the only one left, and I later find that the type of belt is referred to as a ratchet belt. This is a sign.

Need to locate white heavy-duty trousers and a white padded parka jacket

Finding them at thrift stores takes a little longer than expected, no biggie. End up with a white parka that I removed 2 pockets from and someone's old slalom trousers

Both articles of clothing end up being synthetic fabric, which means they need a specific kind of fabric paint

Crafts store is specifically out of red synthetic fabric paint, unsure when they'll get the next shipment

In the meantime I buy my wig. I have no previous experience styling wigs

I end up having to cut large parts of the wig away, and hairspray doesn't stick as well to synthetic hair as I hoped

Attempt to stick the bangs (the wig had bangs) back with a hairdryer

This would have been a great idea if it wasn't for the fact that this was my mom's old hairdryer from the early 2000s or earlier that doesn't have the heat listed anywhere

Turns out this thing lets out air hot enough to literally burn the bangs off. Oops

Color in the ginger streaks with an alcohol marker: a surprisingly effective method

Attempt to find crepe hair for the facial hair, end up having to order it from Denmark because the only finnish store that sells that stuff only sells it in 10cm pieces

Attempt to follow a tutorial I found online for reusable crepe hair facial hair. The hair doesn't stick to the tull, result looks like a merkin. End up deciding to just glue the hair straight to my face

Shoes: I have old winter boots that were worn through the bottom to the point that they can't be used as proper winter shoes anymore. They're black in color which would actually have fit into the design nicely

But the human design I made had white and red boots with steel toes. Attempt to recreate that.

The fabric is very hard (kuoma boots) so my first attempt is spray paint. Believe it or not, spray paint doesn't take well to fabric

Start applying acrylic paint to shoes. The paint job takes several layers but actually turns out really beautiful

Make prop blade with two cardboard pieces glued together and a shit-tonne of duct tape on top. Thing ends up weighing about 2 kilos by my estimate

Paint job is decent for a first time prop-maker

Back to the clothes: I locate red synthetic fabric paint at an online store. At this point the even is less than a month away

Buy two large bottles

Wait for them to arrive

Package says "primary red"

The paint is pink

Like the most hot neon magenta pink color you've ever seen. Nothing like the photos. I say out loud "he slays but not that much"

Send one bottle back, order big bottle of orange and small bottle of brown to hopefully mix the perfect red

By the time it arrives time is running out

In the meantime I have embroidered a small Autobots logo on the breast of the jacket. This went without a hitch and was completed in one 5 hour sitting

2 days left. Finally get to paint the jacket. Think to myself "Why don't more cosplayers use fabric paint?"

The answer is because fabric paint is of the devil

Start painting the clothes in my parents' shower room. I've placed trashbags on the floor to protect it.

One thing about fabric paint is that it dries very slow. So slow in fact, that moving the jacket around caused stains on the plastic bags, which then stained parts of the jacket that were meant to stay white. Jacket that was supposed to be 40% white ends up with just the front breast remaining white

You'd think that the slow drying would make it easy to get wet paint stains out. You'd be incorrect.

Spend OVER 7 HOURS in one sitting painting the jacket and pants

Cry. but get the job done. Leave the clothes to dry at my parents house.

Return next day. Paint that was evenly colored the previous evening has dried splotchy

Well, nothing I can do about that. If nothing else it makes the jacket look suitably weathered, and some of the darker stains look like dried blood

Iron the clothes thoroughly, take them home to sew on the reflective strips.

By now it is the night before the event. I need to wake up at 6.30

Get home at around 7-8 pm. Immediately start cutting out the pieces

Hand sewing is a lot harder than I remembered, especially when sewing onto a premade garment. I have to sew blind at a few points because I can't see very far down the pant leg

These were also garments with linings and padding. This is very bad for sewing shit onto something that you can't take apart

My hands start getting shaky, I'm sleepier than I can ever remember being. Have to push through. I keep pricking my fingers

At some point I scribble down a poem: "In the lamplight I see the needle's halo / Set against the reflective fabric / Like all things holy it requires a sacrifice / I prick my fingers once more"

At 3.30 am I stop looking at the clock. I have to downsize the amount of reflective strips I'm going to sew on. Only the most important ones remain. My stitches are sloppy

I've accidentally ended up method-acting the character: I am suddenly struck by the thought "I spent so much effort and time on this, but no-one else will see that. They'll only see the terrible result"

Shove that aside. I've been waiting for this day since I was 7. I will not let my perfectionism ruin it for me. I will have fun or I will cry and have fun

Finally get to sleep

Wake up to my alarm, somehow feeling totally refreshed

Eat breakfast, start applying make-up. I have not had any time to practice the make-up or putting on crepe hair

It, surprisingly, goes without a hitch

I put on my outfit and surprisingly, it looks great if you don't look at the messy stitches!

Head to school. It's february and very slippery outside, so I put on my normal winter shoes for the way. I have to leave the prop sword at home (school doesn't want even pretend weapons on site, I get that) I take my rainbow flag with me instead

Get to school. Try to switch on my cosplay shoes, find out that the paint cracks and leaves a tiny mark on the floor. I quickly switch back to my normal shoes

Get my bag of candy, participate in school events, get ready to get on top of a lorry truck

It's -20C (-4F) outside. Mom makes me swear I'll put on extra layers under my outfit before I head outside.

Go to bathroom, put on an extra layer of wool clothing between my pre-existing 3 layers of clothing. Knitted socks on top of my normal socks in my shoes, mittens on my hands on top of my gloves, hat between my wig cap and wig.

45-60 minute lorry ride goes well, by the end of it my face and feet are frozen. My face is as red as my outfit

Afterwards one other student recognizes my character. Nearly jump out of excitement. The student's friend gives me a candy

Go to meet my friend at a cafe, but while removing the hat I notice something peculiar

My wig cap is gone. Like fully gone. Not in the hat, not in my clothes. It's gone.

Spend some wonderful time with my friend at the cafe, but after a few hours I start nodding off. Friend recommends I go home.

So, that was the first time I wore the cosplay. Some of it was pure bad luck, but most parts were a result of me biting off way more than I could chew. I don't know how i pulled it off. The second time, however:

Enroll in a small local cosplay contest.

Start fixing the cosplay so it's presentable. I end up having to take off all the reflective strips to re-sew them better. In the process I find that one of the leg strips' stitches have snapped and that I accidentally sewed two parts of the lining on the back together

No idea how that didn't rip

New stitches end up really nice, sew them on over several days in 2-3 hour sittings

Wig is kind of a mess, try to spike it with glue.

Practice the make-up several times

Contest day comes: make-up takes way longer than the first time. Almost run out of time with the crepe hair. The eyebrows don't end up great, but the make-up is the best it's ever been

Start walking towards the bus stop, it takes me some time to orient myself to where the stop is, but I realize it's closer than I thought. I'm a fast walker, I'll have time to stop by the store

Go in, buy two chocolate bars. I already had one soda (BRIGHT green in color). I have not eaten breakfast.

Forget my fucking credit card number. Already stressed. I have enough coins to pay, thankfully

Apologize to the cashier, say "Nothing has been going according to plan today" she laughs, which is nice. I imagine a 50yo looking man with the fashion sense of a Pokemon gym leader and the voice of an afab teenager ( a particularly bright and high-pitched voice at that) is not something you see every day.

Remember my credit card number the fucking second I step out of the store

Cashier said she hoped my card didn't get locked. Get a juice from a different store. Card thankfully works. Drink the juice while waiting for the bus.

The bus I'm waiting for isn't on the timetable, but it shows up online. Oh shit.

Double check that the stop name is correct, start panicking.

Oh wait! The name is correct, the number isn't. There's another bus stop 20 meters away. Thank goodness.

My friend from the cafe was supposed to come with me, but fell ill. It's my second con, and I'm alone. Determined to make the best of it regardless.

Realize that I've once again method-acted. I am suitably pissed about the obstacles I dealt with

It's august, I'm wearing winter clothes. You see the problem.

Get to the contest, have more free-time than I expected. Don't really have anything to do except wait. Run into a friend later that day, catch up

Go to the store to buy a soda that isn't room-temperature. Eat one of the chocolate bars, too nervous to eat anything else.

Go to meet the judges, it goes pretty okay. I didn't say nearly as much as I should have, though, but that's neither here nor there

Wait for the contest. Walk on stage and make the most of it. Even if I don't place, this is my moment to shine

Don't place in the contest, and neither does mine and my friend's entry for the photoshoot contest. Hey, that means we can enroll it in different contests!

Hang around a little bit longer: All I really wanted was for someone to recognise my costume. Give up after a while, start heading to bus stop

Younger kid (11-13?) runs up to me, asks if they can take a picture with me. I say "of course!" I'm happy as a clam because someone recognized my cosplay or at least liked it enough to want a picture.

Find bus stop. Random person asks me what series I'm cosplaying from, in case they recognize the character. I say Transformers Prime. I, for some reason, don't say which character I'm cosplaying. They don't seem to recognize me

Different person shows up, asks if I'm wearing a Transformers jacket. I tell them I'm wearing a whole transformers cosplay. I, once again, don't say which character I'm cosplaying. Also tell the person I competed in the contest. They ask me where I got my wig, I say I styled it myself, show before and after pics. They seem impressed

We lament the lack of a transformers fandom presence in finnish cons together

They get on a different bus

Had made plans to meet up a friend in the city, but they can't make it after all

I go to the city centre. My sister is having her birthday party at the apartment where I live, so I'll go to my parents. Want to get some food first. Stop by the local game store on the way just to check if they have transformers stuff, not this time

Go to the counter with some candy. Cashier asks me if I'm coming from the con. I say yes. They pull up their sleeve to show that they have a huge autobots logo tattoo. I'm awestruck, compliment the tattoo, they compliment my cosplay

I once again forget to specify my character

Want taco bell fries, it's now over 6pm and I have eaten a total of: small juice box, one chocolate bar, and about 0.6 liters of soda.

Find out taco bell doesn't offer "just fries". Decide to just go home in hopes my parents will have something I can eat

Hop on the bus. The trip takes a little less than an hour. 7pm.

Get home. Parents immediately want me to change and shower. I say I can't take my makeup off yet because I don't have my spirit gum remover with me. They insist.

I try to peel my facial hair off as gently as I can. I lose 20% of my eyebrows, the one part of my face that I like the most. I feel like Snorkmaiden when her beautiful golden hair got singed by lightning

My parents say you can barely tell. You can definitely tell.

Dad takes me to get pizza

Finally eat an actual meal.

Thankfully notice that most of my eyebrow hairs that look "gone" are actually snapped near the bottom, not completely pulled out

Finally get pictures of the cosplay taken by my dad. Find out my wig looked fucking atrocious from the back

Thankfully it was a cheap wig, so replacing it and re-styling it won't be too expensive, this wig can be my stunt-wig now

Notice that the paint has started coming off the sword

This I was very sad about, I really like that prop blade. I will try to find a way to save it.

Like the second time just feels like pure bad luck through and through. I have plans to enter at least one more contest with this cosplay after I've updated the wig, so we'll see how that goes

Make your next move exciting with great moving supplies!

First, congratulations on your new home! Finally, the day comes knocking at your door and you have to plan everything before the arrival of the packers and movers. Does this situation sound familiar? Also, do you have all the pre-move responsibilities and last minute tasks at this stage? Well, then you must be stressed and almost withered by the last day of moving. But hey, the main story and the battle is ahead! So you need to pull up your socks, put on your shoes and go with the flow!

This blog post covers all that and more. Useful tips on packing and moving, some expert ideas and lots of information - all you can read here. So without wasting a single minute, check out the home moving tips mentioned below!

• Sit down and decide on a moving date

What time are you moving? Is the date over? Have service providers and professional movers been notified? Do you travel on weekends? or weekdays? Since this affects the moving budget, make sure you time the move at the convenience of all your working family members who have a set schedule and routine.

• Prepare all relevant documents

If you are moving or traveling abroad, you should have a mobile folder with you. Before moving, you must prepare all important documents, including ID, driver's license, insurance, contract papers, housing papers, vehicle papers, employment documents, birth certificate, marriage certificate, centralized valid documents that may be required for the move. You can keep copies of these on your phone as they are handy and can be shown to authorities at checkpoints.

• Buy high-quality packaging materials

Depending on the product choice, you need to organize and invest in high-quality packaging that covers the entire product. You have to have the basics. For example, wrapping paper, film, brown paper, durable packing tape, cardboard boxes, insulated moving boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper, moving covers, permanent markers, etc. Make sure they are good quality and that you order in bulk because you need too many.

• Unpacking and organizing your appliances

Preparation of all electronic appliances like air conditioner, microwave oven, inverter, TV and laptop etc. must be disconnected early and packed after a while. In particular, the refrigerator must be unplugged, defrosted and cleaned before packing. So do it. If you wish, you can order cleaning experts to take care of your air conditioner, microwave oven and refrigerator so that they are in good order in your new home!

• An emergency kit should be packed

Whether you call it a survival kit or an essential kit, you should get yourself a small essentials bag that contains all the basic items that you use regularly and can't live without. From moisturizer, body lotion, perfume, comb, tissue paper, paper plates, glasses and cups, towel, hand sanitizer, shampoo, conditioner and other electronic items such as power bank, telephone, cables and wires, etc. should be packed in this kit.

• Reach out to the right movers

How can you imagine moving without the help of a professional? It's not possible! So don't delay and book some other reliable moving company for moving experts at Agarwal Packers and Moversor and sort out a realistic moving plan. You can choose the contract that meets your moving concerns and meets your proposed budget after checking all the details of the contract and the details of the moving company.

• Ask them to come in for a survey

In general, all major moving companies recommend that you come in for an internal inspection of the goods before giving a close estimate. If your company offers this to you, great, and if not, you can ask them to get a close moving estimate. We also conduct virtual surveys that are conducted online to evaluate the product.

• Packing and storing valuables

It would be nice to let moving professionals organize your belongings and valuables, but we recommend doing some of the packing yourself. This way you can save a lot of money because you don't pay the movers for the entire packing task, but only for the part that they ordered themselves. Also, if you handle valuables yourself, you will be more careful in packing them carefully and with proper protection.

• Do not pack unnecessary house stuff

By packing we do not mean, packing the entire household items. Never! You should first, de-clutter your space and get rid of the excess items. Things that are not in use, that are old, worn-out, damaged, and simply won’t be functional in your new home should either be disposed of or donated. Only those articles that are in pretty decent condition, have not been used much could be considered for sale.

• Provide refreshments and tip movers

Your entire move would be executed by the professional packers and movers. So, there is not much to worry about because professionals are well aware of the ways and know how to provide you with a seamless moving experience that ensures the safety and security of your belongings. Therefore, when your items get delivered to your new home, make sure you entertain the moving experts humbly and when the re-arrangement of your belongings in your place is complete, offer them refreshments or snacks from your food kit/essentials basket because you will not have time for more arrangements. Thank and tip them for their services and conduct.

All set for your next move? We’re sure you will be, by now with these amazing relocation hacks. Quick and simple to comprehend, this checklist would let you enjoy a happy, organized, and seamless moving experience.

Shop BJJ belts online

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that uses grappling techniques to control and submit opponents. The progression in BJJ is marked by a belt system that signifies a practitioner's level of skill and experience. Here is the standard belt progression in BJJ, from white belt (beginner) to black belt (expert):

1. White Belt: This is the starting point for all practitioners. White belts are beginners who are just beginning to learn the basics of BJJ techniques and principles.

2. Blue Belt: After a period of training and demonstrating a basic understanding of BJJ fundamentals, practitioners are awarded the blue belt. Blue belts are considered to have a solid foundation and are capable of defending themselves and applying basic techniques.

3. Purple Belt: Purple belts are intermediate-level practitioners who have a deeper understanding of BJJ concepts and techniques. They have usually developed a personal style and are competent in both defense and offense.

4. Brown Belt: Brown belts are advanced practitioners who have a high level of skill and knowledge. They are expected to be able to adapt and innovate techniques based on the situation. Brown belts are often instructors and contribute to the development of the BJJ community.

5. Black Belt: The black belt represents a high level of mastery in BJJ. Black belts are considered experts and are often instructors, mentors, and leaders within the BJJ community.

After black belt, there are additional degrees (also called degrees or stripes) that are awarded to further recognize a practitioner's continuous development and contributions to the art. These degrees are typically indicated by tape added to the black belt. The first degree is represented by a single stripe, and subsequent degrees are indicated by additional stripes.

It's important to note that the journey from white belt to black belt is highly individual and can take many years of dedicated practice, consistent training, and personal growth. Additionally, each BJJ academy or association may have slightly different criteria and timelines for belt promotions, so there can be some variation in the process.

Pick the Right Wig Cap Size Proper wig cap size is crucial for a secure and comfortable fit. To find the size, measure your head circumference accurately. Use a soft measuring tape to get the accurate size. Wig cap sizes range from small to large. You must purchase the appropriate size to ensure that the wig sits snugly without feeling too tight or too loose on your head.

Consider the Lace Color From the term itself, this type of wig features a lace material at the front that creates a natural-looking hairline. The color of the lace must match your skin tone to achieve a seamless blend. Common lace colors include light brown, transparent, medium brown, and dark brown. Choose a lace color that closely matches your complexion for an undetectable and realistic appearance.

Determine the Wig Length and Style Keep in mind that this type of wig comes in various lengths. It ranges from short to long. When determining the right length and style, consider your lifestyle, preferences, and the versatility you desire. If you want to experiment with different hairstyles, choose a longer wig that can be easily styled. Shorter wigs offer convenience and can be effortlessly worn daily.

Evaluate Hair Density It refers to the thickness or fullness of the wig. Pick a density that suits your natural hair or that can help you achieve the desired volume. Options range from light to medium and heavy density. Before you pick the hair density, consider your personal style and the level of thickness you feel most comfortable with.

Quality of the Wig Ensure that it is made of high-quality, 100% human hair. Compared to synthetic wigs, human hair wigs can provide you with the most natural appearance and allow for styling versatility.

In public he puts out he only flirted with me but in private he gave me a dark hair with orange high light 💡 taped to cookie 🍪 container with word baton on it. I did not know my older sister (anus pain 11:35 pmpt) was sister until I was 13 years old. He tried to (acid throat pain 11:36 pmpt) make me believe Liza is my daughter. And gio. 11:37 pmpt he’s so cruel he is killing me I hate him. He is lying 🤥! Hates me! His lies have no boundaries.
