Several years ago, I became interested to experience the feeling of absolute enclosure within a clear vinyl bag. At first I had no idea where to obtain such a large bag, but then I found that you could put two extra large shower curtains together. The only problem was that the vinyl used for most shower curtains is rather brittle and not very soft to the touch. I then found a place that sold very high end, and expensive, ultra-soft vinyl shower curtains, which I purchased for this experiment.
Once I received the curtains, I opened them up on the basement floor and left them to air for several days to remove the intense smell of vinyl. I then began to look at ways to fasten them together, and found a wonderful vinyl tape that did the job quite well. I secured a large zipper at one end that made for an entry/exit hatch, and was tight enough to minimize air loss. I then opened a 1/2 inch hole near the zipper to allow air to escape to avoid over inflation.
I purchased two medical air pumps; one for vacuum and one for air flow. The idea was to connect a 1/2 inch vinyl hose to each pump, and run them into the bag to the opposite end of the entrance. Each pump was connected to a computer controlled switch that would run the air pump for a period of time, then run the vacuum for another period of time.
The scenario was to bring a pillow into the bag, zip the bag shut, then lay down and wait for the vacuum to come on, at which point the air would be sucked out until I was fully encapsulated in plastic. Timing was important since I had no control once the bag had deflated since I would be completely encased in plastic. After assembling the bag, I needed to calibrate timings, so I started the air pump and waited for the bag to fully inflate. Then I turned off the air pump and turned on the vacuum pump and began a timer. The bag was completely vacuumed of air in 5 minutes. I was ready for the scenario.
The first scenario was done at night, as are most of my scenarios, since I like the feeling of darkness while suffocating. I set the software to pump air into the bag for 3 hours, then vacuum out the air for 5 minutes and 30 seconds, which gave me 30 seconds of asphyxiation before the air pump started again. My safely was a button near the side of the mattress which would reverse the process and trigger the air pump when pressed.
The night of the scenario was like any other; I took a long hot shower, dried off, then started the software and crawled into the bag with my pillow, zipped it shut, and lied down with my head on the pillow. The feeling of plastic was wonderful, as it was very soft, and I was naked, wearing just underwear. I have clear PVC pillow cases which only heighten the experience.
After a while of enjoying the feeling and being very comfortable in my cocoon of plastic, I dozed off. A few times before this however, I fell asleep only to jerk awake, probably because my brain was saying "hey, not a good idea to fall sleep in a plastic bag." I finally did fall asleep. I had a bizarre dream of being trapped under a porch, not being able to push up on the wood to escape. I then woke up to find myself totally encased in very tight plastic, and of course, unable to breath. I was utterly confused for a few seconds, but then came to realize where I was. I was completely out of breath and needed air quite badly, and felt my head being pulled toward the pillow, and my ears popping. Something wasn't right, since 30 seconds had obviously passed, but the vacuum was still on and pulling my head harder and harder into the pillow. I was sleeping on my back as the air was sucked out, so the plastic had completely encased my face and sides of my head. My left arm was at my side, and my right arm was slightly extended away from my body, also very tightly crushed by the plastic. I knew this had to end immediately since I had begun to panic for air, so I rolled over and pressed the button. I heard the sound of the air pump and knew that it was over, however, the pillow had become so compressed that it was the first thing to receive the air from the pump. This took 20 or so seconds, during which time I was flailing around trying to pull my hands toward my face, which was quite impossible because of the tightness of the vacuum. I did begin to receive air, and my hands were now free allowing me to push the plastic away from my face and catch some well deserved air.
This was scary, but it was also extremely arousing. I have never felt such a rush, to wake up being totally encased and helpless as this. What I also knew is that if it wasn't for "the button" that I would have possibly blacked out. My next question was; why did this fail? I got out of the bag and slept on it for the rest of the night.
The next day I began to investigate the cause of the timing issue, but it didn't take long to figure out. During the tests, there were two things missing from inside the bag; the pillow and my body! Each of these consumes air volume, and although I am a slim build, nonetheless, at 6 feet tall, I take up space. I calculated that the timing was off by 1 minute and 30 seconds, meaning that I would have continued to experience full asphyxiation for almost 2 minutes beyond the 30 seconds I had originally anticipated. That would have caused me to black out. However, since it takes a full 7 minutes to die from asphyxiation, I would have regained consciousness when the bag re-inflated, but that's really not a fun experience, NOT at all.
I re-calibrated the timings and tried the experiment again that day with success. I then played the same scenario that night. It was amazing, and I did it three times throughout that night, each time having bizarre dreams, waking to full enclosure, but each time having air return to me before starting to panic. At one point, however, I must have been in full exhale as the plastic had closed in, since I did experience panic sooner than other times, but still not to a point of discomfort.
Something to note; plastic pillow cases cause your head to sweat, and this becomes an issue when the vacuum is applied and the plastic is pushing down on your head, as the sweat goes into your eyes. Another thing; the vacuum pump I used was slow to evacuate the air from the bag, and therefore, the last 60 seconds before constriction had me re-breathing my own air, which caused my breathing to increase slightly, making me less tolerant when the air had gone and the plastic had fully encased me. I later purchased a pump that was over twice the speed, which made for a much longer asphyxiation tolerance and therefore, way more time being vacuumed.

My few "bad moments" happened because of stupidity and simply being too eager to do something without spending the appropriate amount of time thinking about it. I usually spend months thinking about a complex scenario before actually performing it, and the number of times I've had realizations that would have caused harm otherwise is substantial.
