    The most beloved balloon/inflatable you had

    I remind mine was a green ish 14 balloon, it spent all its time in my bedroom and never went out of it, I would leave it under my bed when I was not at home. It lasted about a month before it started to leak. That balloon managed to keep its shiness despite being dry humped, hopped on the bed, placed in dusty places and got wet with my sweat after inflated by mouth. It was not that big but I loved its softness and squeakiness. Among all the balloons you have had in your life, is there one that interested you more than others?
    Let it be, let it free...but keep it nicely

    (somewhat old post I know, just digging through older threads)
    My most beloved is a Bestway Jumbo Whale I call Layla. She's relatively new but has provided some fun times already and helps to ease the loneliness of being at home all alone (well not alone anymore lol).

      I use to have a double layered inflatable vinyl suit from Kinky Clothes, but it was poorly made. It came apart in the weldings. But wearing it was like wearing a pool toy. It had a zipper at the chest to enter it and the valves was the same as the ones on a pool toy.
      It was really tight when it was inflated.
      I once went to a lake and took it on and inflated it and waded into the water. It felt like being inside a pool animal. The vinyl supported me really firmly in an upright position. It felt incredible.
      Sadly the suit couldn't stand being over inflated in the long term and I had to get rid of it

        All of those dual layered PVC inflatable suits quickly split or pop. They're just of a very poor design with a very acute negative curve weld at the top of the legs which often splits open. I've owned a few suits like these over the years- a good suit usually lasts for a couple of wears. Worth the price tag???? No!

        I used to open them and reinforce the internal seams using clear PVC strips salvaged from old Lilo's but it's a real, time consuming labour of love.

        As for my personal favourite.... well I'd say it was an old late 80's era 48 inch Valentine's heart. I used to love inflating it nice and tight underneath a baggy turquoise blue shiny nylon waterproof I had until I could hardly breathe or move. Those happy days of a teenager's self discovery of things.

          You're right they are not worth the price, but I think that my floating experience in it made a bit up to it.
          But I must say that if I am able to get an inflatable suit again, it would be one made of latex that I could Inflate really really big. I'll always prefer latex clothes.
          Now when I have given it a second thought I think that my all time favorite will be the GL1200.
