I've always wondered how people managed to use balloons for pregnancy simulation...but now I know! I'll have to try that punch balloon strategy sometime. I've always used pillows and clothing layers mostly...or a beachball just for the size but I'd love to have the weight too.

Hi everyone,

Ive been simulating since I was probable about 12/13. I started of with the standard pillow which as a kid was amazing but i tried it again recently and its nowhere near as good as i remembered, it didnt have the right feel. Of course next step is a balloon. Which was great for shape i thought and the feeling if rubbing it was nice.

I read this thread a week or two ago and the thought of adding weight to my simulations was deffinately the next step i wanted to take. So today i went to a party shop and got some punchball balloons and all i can say is wow. I thought the shape might not be as good but when its filled with water and i felt the weight, it was brilliant. It lasted about 10 minutes with my first try and i went straight back to my bathroom to fill it up with even more water. This time i had to use 2 swimsuits and some cling film to hold it in place. I think ive had this "bump" on now for about 4 hours and i cant stop touching it.

This is by far the best simulation ive ever done. Im not sure how much it weights but im starting to get a sore back and im noticing that when im moving around my house im having to hold my back like a pregnant woman. Also when i started the belly was in a good position and i looked about 8 months along which was great. As time went on the weight started to drag down and the belly started to drop like a real pregnancy. As it dropped it started to restricty strides and i when i looked down i noticed i was waddling.

So here i am, at home waddling around and holding my back and im thinking this is probable the closest il ever get to being pregnant and i didnt mind.

So thanks for the idea, and anyone else who has read this and not tried it, DO IT, you wont regret it.

Il add some pictures but im doing this off an iphone and for some reason it wont post the pics but il give it a go just on case.

I've enjoyed pregnancy simulation ever since I was a young boy. I live alone and do it frequently. Even in public I pretend I'm pregnant using just my belly (which is about the size of a 4 or 5 month pregnant belly). I simulate while doing anything from household chores to watching TV, viewing porn, and especially masturbating. The only thing I don't simulate pregnancy while doing is cooking. I find that it gets really annoying having the large belly while trying to put food in and out of the over. Plus, I'm afraid that while bending over, the ball might slip out, and thus fall into the oven, popping, burning and creating a major mess.

In the past I have used everything from pillows to balloons to basketballs to beach balls. Nowadays, I use kids' play balls, the kind you can buy at places like Wal-Mart for just a few bucks. I currently have two balls I alternate using. One is a bit smaller, but I like it beacuse it's not totally full of air, so it's a bit softer which, when you touch it it feels more like a real belly. My other one is bigger, but a bit firmer.

I stuff all the time, I think I am getting really accurate with it. Maybe I will post a pic when I have some time. It is the best thing to have the fake belly while rping a birth etc

Here's a few pics from my latest simulation.        

It's kind of a relief to see how many others do this too. I have been doing this for almost as long as I can remember. I thought I might share the evolution of my technique.

I started quite young with a unitard, a balloon and a bike pump. I really enjoyed the growing sensation of the balloon expanding and the unitard getting tight. I started experimenting with water and upgraded to the punching ball balloons like a few others have mentioned on here. There are also some Huge 36 inch latex balloons that work even better and form to your body much better than the punching ball balloons. Looks less like a basketball under your shirt.

I think my favorite water technique was 13 gallon trash bags believe it or not. I put in about 1 to 2 gallons of water and double up the trash bag and tie both bags extremely well. Then I use 6" wide elastic bandage wrap to secure it to my body. After two layers of the bandage it gave it a very realistic shape and flowed smoothly from body to belly. This also freed me from having to use lots of layers and unitards. I wish I had picture of this to show.

Another Awesome thing you can do with this technique is put small water balloons (or anything really) inside the bag with the water to give movement inside. It took a while to perfect, but I used several small balloons and tied them to one bigger balloon. This felt pretty amazing. You can feel a mass moving around as you change positions. You can feel it from the outside and inside against your own stomach. Just an exciting feeling and adds to the experience. This is the Best pregnancy simulation that I have been able to come up with so far. I even rolled up a sock and put it between the belly and my bladder. Pretty effective!

I haven't used water in many years. I now use a silicone belly that I ordered from Alibaba.com for fairly cheap. If you know how to haggle, you can talk the Chinese stores down quite a bit. I'll post a few pics of this one. I was pretty happy with the overall look, so much so that I was finally brave enough to try it out in public. I have been out many times now, it's quite a rush!

I had looked at the moon bumps but I have grown to hate the unitard and I didn't like how shiny and bumpy the surface looked. Not to mention they are over priced. The weight of the silicone is ideal. Very flesh like. Last year I took some silicone mask making classes and I am currently sculpting my own belly that I will mold and cast in silicone. It will have transparent edges so it blends with my own skin. My goal is to have a pretty seamless nude belly. I will post some pics when it's done.

Sorry, this went kind of long. Hopefully there was some interesting ideas in here that are useful for someone. I would love to hear more about other peoples techniques.

^ Impressive. Which size did you buy, if you don't mind my asking? I just looked and they have some "quadruplet" bellies weighing up to 6kg, but they don't look that big.

I ordered from Aliexpress.com and the sizes are very deceiving, and they rarely show the correct pictures. I found it best to buy according to product weight and not by the month they list. The 8 to 9 month belly is quite small. More like a 5 month belly IMO. The belly in my pictures is the Twin size, or about 4kg, but I feel that it looks more like a regular 8-9 month belly. I also have the 6kg Quad size and it's definitely bigger but more like a full term Twin size belly. I bought one of every size.

The Twin is probably my favorite as it looks the most real. The quad doesn't have as smooth of transitions on the top and bottom of belly. I have used Craft Foam to help transition it and that works ok. I have ordered from two different places but got the same style each time. Here are some pics of some bellies I ordered. If you order from China, this is most likely what they will look like, even if they show pictures of something slightly different.

There is a 3-4 inch wide Velcro strap that goes around the back and an optional support band that attached in the front and goes up and around your neck. I customized mine to wrap over each shoulder and attach onto the Velcro in the back. Much more comfortable than going around your neck. I can send more detailed pics you anyone wants.

That looks great, Preg_Addict!

Is the belly squishy or firm? If it's squishy, is there a way to make it feel more firm like an actual pregnant belly?
