I really didn't want to join a forum, but I've been reading them for the past few weeks and my Master has encouraged me.
I am still fairly new to self bondage, but I love it

I love tight ropes and belts all around me, but as I am yet to physically be with my Master I am left to my own resources, and I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to any of the complicated self bondage scenarios, because of course, it's safety first. I love the inescapable feelings most, and yet I still refuse to put myself in even a simple hogtie because I worry I won't be able to wriggle out.
Anyway, I've finally managed to buy myself some nice rope and the first thing I rushed off to try was a full body harness/karada as seen here:
http://www.likera.com/sb/tech/karada2.phpI've tried it a few times now and I don't know if it's just the way it is or if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I start off loose and pull everything tighter as I go. Generally if it's not tight enough, it becomes loose and I'm not happy. xD Anyway, as the ropes pull against the rest of my body, the one against my neck also gets pulled (well not exactly around the neck, but the neck area, around the base, as it's supposed to be - collarbone? Whatever it is

). Not risk-of-strangulation-tight, but just tight enough to be uncomfortable as the knot rubs against that bone at the bottom of the neck/top of chest, and I've discovered that is one place I do not like ropes - for obvious reasons. I don't think it's unreasonably tight, I just don't like the feel of the rope around my neck. I generally keep going making everything tighter and then pull on the loop around my neck to try and loosen it, but then that will also loosen the rope around my breasts. It's fine when I'm sitting down, 'cause I'll lean forward and it won't be against my neck at all, but when I'm standing and whatnot, I don't like it. I also find that the rope around my neck is still visible under most of my t-shirts, and I'd love to hide it completely
So I'm just wondering if there's a different way to tie a body harness that doesn't involve having the rope looped around the neck? I think I've tried beginning with the rope above the breasts/under the armpits, but it slipped off or wasn't tight enough at the time, so I was thinking maybe a belt? Or is there just a different way of tying it?
My Master and I thank you.
