I use hot pink zip ties (get 'em at a Fry's near you)to hold my suicide
clips on. I can't afford bondage wings, so I use spirals of duct tape
to help compress my "tech" BC. Also, my quick-releases broke, but
wouldn't you know it - duct tape threads right through those buckles!
Surgical tubing isn't available at my Walmart, so I am duct-taping the
octo hose to my neck.
Is this "Doing it Right"?

PS Where can you get pink duct tape? I really want to color-coordinate
my outfit.
