Vacuum body bag: howto

BY admin on January 23, 2026

Perhaps you’ve seen the trend on Tik Tok, Instagram, or YouTube: the vacuum bag challenge. You get inside an oversized garbage bag, insert a vacuum hose, and seal the bag around your neck as best a you can. Have a friend turn on the vacuum, and next thing you know you are back in the womb, being sucked in from all angles.

While that method is cheap and quick, if you want to elevate your experience you can upgrade to a latex vacuum bed, which is essentially plastic pipe arranged in a rectangle with an opening to accept a vacuum hose, an air hole for breathing, and latex covering all sides. These also come in 3d by making a cube. Making one takes considerable effort and you can buy them from fetish websites, but you’ll pay hundreds of dollars at a minimum.

There is a middle option – something that won’t break the bank and also not take too long to make on your own. Our clear vinyl and frosted vinyl is exceptionally soft – mimicking the feel of latex at a fraction of the cost, and it can be sewn instead of glued, minimizing the amount of time necessary to make something.

We took our blue frosted vinyl and cut out a body bag, leaving a neck hole at the top and a small opening at the bottom to allow for the vacuum hose. Here are the pointers that we learned while undertaking this project:

  1. If you cut the material to your height it will be too short. Originally we had made it about 10 inches longer than the height of our model to accommodate for the thickness of her body, but when she got in the bag, we found she had to draw up her knees because there was not enough length. You’ll need at least an extra 2 feet of material to accommodate for body thickness and feet. Having too much length is better than not enough.
  2. The material gets clogged in the vacuum hose. Unless you hold the hose cupped in your hand to prevent it from going inside the vacuum hose, the hose gets clogged and the suction stops. Since we made the hole for the vacuum at the bottom of the body bag, holding the end of the hose wasn’t an option. We experimented with placing the hose in-between our models feet, but the suction made it uncomfortable. Instead, we took a pvc pipe and drilled holes into it, then ran the pvc pipe up one side of the bag. Drill more holes than you think you need and drill them on different sides of the pvc pipe. See our picture above.
  3. Use an extra long zipper. In our original design the zipper wasn’t long enough and our model couldn’t fit their hips and shoulders into the bag. We upgraded from a 20 inch zipper to a 36 inch zipper to solve that issue. The zipper doesn’t seem to leak much air, so a longer zipper did not affect the suction.

Moving forward, there are a couple more things we would experiment with if we had more time. Two questions that we had were: how much more suction could we get if we added duct tape to the seams? Could we add a second vacuum port to the top and double the amount of suction with 2 vacuums? Would adding a second pvc pipe, run it up the other side of the bag, and attached a second vacuum to it add even more suction?

Lastly, another thing that we found was when our model wore a thick cable-knit sweater, the suction was increased versus when she entered the vacuum bag naked. The sweater was porous enough that it enabled suction to pass to the other side of the bag from where the pvc pipe was located. We read that laying on a foam pad (https://www.amazon.com/AK-TRADING-Upholstery-Density-Replacement/dp/B06X1B8NRC/ref=sr_1_19) can have the same affect and also provide a softer surface versus the floor. You would lose out on the feeling of the vinyl on your backside, but you’d get better suction. Another option might be to cover the top side of the foam pad with vinyl so that you keep the feeling, but still get a softer “bed” and additional suction.

Ultimately we were incredibly satisfied with the outcome – it has plenty of suction and served our purpose. You can totally trap someone in one of these and leave them to enjoy the feeling of complete body pressure, give them a massage, run a hand down them, or even play around with hot / cold sensations. Think what fun you could have with an ice cube, or a heated toy…
