padding for a doll box..


i found one of these at the mall in some cheesy way overpriced gimick shop and loved the feeling of them. so i did what i always do - not buy it then but check ebay to see if they're there cheaper.

of course they were... and can be found here.

think of it a lycra coated bean bag but with a couple of differences: the lycra material is pretty pervy and smooth by itself (like high priced lycra tights) and the beans are replaced with teeny weeny little plastic beads not much larger than sand it seems.

so it finally arrived this morning and i was able to have a fondle of it... its pretty close to how i remember it but i think the surface isn't as 'slick' as the one in the mall.

my idea was thus... wonder what a bed covered with them would be like. padded lined case for a doll? i'd just sink into them and not want out.

I bought a couple of those in a shopping centre about a year ago. They are truly amazing things!

Moshi is one of the makers of those microbead pillows. They just feel so fascinating. I've collected half a different ones from Linens n Things. You're right, the lycra feels different, some are thicker, smoother, or more coarse depending on the maker. I have some pink and purple ones covered with supersoft fur on one side. They would make for a nice box padding. Once I had a sub doubled over the edge of the bed for a paddling, and though she was blindfolded, her fingers sought out the squishy pillow she knew to be on the bed, and she just kept kneading it like a security blanket the whole time.

Hmm a hood of the stuff is an interesting idea, though. One made out of hollow ball with an opening would fit over the head quite comfortably.

Gets me thinkin'.. a pair of zentai-like lycra suits sewn together (inner and outer) and stuffed with those microbeads. Probably make you like kinda plushy and thick, but might feel awesome. Making a bed of it would probably be easy if you know someone with a sewing machine.
