Where to find inflatable breasts?

It's apparently very durable.

Hopefully someday an affordable latex prop will hit the market for us to enjoy. Until then, we just have to rely on an endangered aspect of human nature: creativity.

Could you post the link or describe the process. What about filling a balloon with silicon.

First off, I am sorry to bump an old thread. I have been away from the community for a rather long time. Hopefully the info I post in this thread will make the bump worth while for some folks!

I happen to know the fellow who did that work.
Me.

While I am not currently in a position to make anything similar to those particular props, I have recently been toying with new designs, fabrication methods, and materials.

It is important to point out, those props and the "film quality" ones I may be making in the future are labor-intensive. (the normal (non-lactating) boob prop took something in the range of 45-50 hours of labor to create) So they were expensive.

However, like I said I have been looking into new ideas which offer "low budget" alternatives, but still retains good visual qualities.

That being said, I would be happy to field any question for folks on a very tight budget who want to use common materials like balloons, but want it to be as realistic as possible.

Simple tips:

1, Equal Inflation; When trying to inflate 2 balloons at once, it is best to have 2 separate air pumps that can be regulated OR if you are using compressed air, a "T" connection attached to 2 regulators with each going to one of the props. This allows for independent control of the props since latex props tend to inflate unequally.

2, One-Way Valves; It is also handy to have simple 1 way valves to keep each prop inflated after the expansion. These are inexpensive to purchase. Look for them in any aquarium section of a store. They should be connected as close to the prop as possible to allow for mobility of the person wearing the prop.

3, Flesh Coloring; Probably the most difficult thing to do is finding a balloon that come close to actual flesh colors. Latex body paint can come in a variety of flesh colors, but to make it match even better, get some acrylic paint in the following colors; dark brown, red, and, white. Depending on the tone of skin to be matched, of course.
This can be a tedious process of adding a small amount of paint to the latex body paint, putting a drop on some paper or cardboard and waiting for it to dry. so you can match the dried color to the skin you are trying to match.
You would then have to clean the outer surface of the balloon. I suggest using carburetor cleaner from any automotive section(it needs to be a hydrocarbon for this part) Take the balloons outside, spray them down and rub them off with a clean paper towel.(try not to get any inside the balloon) Then let them air dry.
You can then dip or paint the coloring onto the balloon. The balloon needs to be slightly inflated.(just enough to make it "plump" but not so much that it begins to stretch) Dip or paint the coloring on and then let it dry while slightly inflated. (you can fill the balloon with hot water, use a hair dryer, or even heat lamp to accelerate the drying speed) It will likely take many coats of paint (5+) to fully hide the original balloon color especially if the balloon is an odd or dark color and you are trying for a light color skin tone. Note the original balloon color may show though when inflated if you don't have enough coats of paint on it.
When the final coat of paint is dry, coat the exterior in talcum powder (baby powder) to keep it from sticking to it's self, and let it sit a warm dry place for at least 3 days. (This allows the rubber to cure fully.) Alternatively, you can vulcanize it in a oven set to 175-degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour. (just use plain water to remove the talcum powder when you are ready to use the prop)

4, Liberal Use Of Talcum Powder; When it comes to latex, you really can't use too much talcum powder. If you are putting one balloon inside another, put extra talc in the outer balloon. This keeps the latex from the inner and outer balloons from rupturing due to friction between the two. Any time latex is touching the skin during an inflation, it is also a good idea to use talc on the skin to avoid "friction burns".

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Happy inflating folks!

Hey AirWolf! Long time no see! I hope life has been treating you well, old friend.
