Is it possible to modify a bikini so it falls off after the wearer wears it underwater for a few minutes or so? There's a lot of YouTube videos of people pranking each other by giving them a "dissolving bikini" and then laughing when it falls off in the water but most/all of them are fake and the bikini doesn't actually fall off. I could only find one dissolving swimsuit for sale online, it's a one piece and the reviews are somewhat mixed reviewers say you must size up, Fabric did rip a little (before it was wet?), No bra padding, making it obvious it’s fake, Threads holding it together dissolve, not the whole thing. Still fun, even tho my wife was 99% sure what was going on…especially after we had to stretch it hard to get it on, but even after 10 min swimming in the lake only the sides had partly split, advertised.....Less than a minute in the water and the seams came apart. https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Swimsuit-Girlfriend-Bachelor-Swimming/dp/B0CR5HC6YHThere's a YouTube video by howcast about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0esyopY_Q with ten million views that states you should just take a regular bikini or one piece and remove all stitching and replace it with "water soluble stitching" and says it works fine in a sowing machine.What kind of water soluble stitching should you use specifically? What kind of bikinis or one pieces will fall apart best without stitching? Ideally it should match the color of the original stitching, dissolve quickly and uniformly and should not rip prior to being worn in the water the stitching ripping when the bikini or one piece is pulled onto the wearer before going in water.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VBq5W1wCRj8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=asg3hoJPYH4Video review of that swimsuit from AmazonHe recommends a type of thread in the description and says he colored over it with a marker so it blended inhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8tk0uLX2g

hhmm first thought is medical, but those have a long lifespan and it seems like you want instant soo maybe an isomalt clasp. i assume the shear stress is lowest on the clasp because you over stretch the seams to hook the clasp.the water could be lubrication for a bad knot, a couple horse hitches while frolicing in water should give its not timed like an isomalt clasp or surgical sutures. weird idea but those invisble bandaide from johnson & johnson have some elasticity so you could put it on and will dissolve after hours of sweat so maybe salt water
>>2962705I don't know what you mean
My first thought is sugar. But that dissolves to fast and might dissolve before you get in the water. But if you make it thick enough I bet it would work without any additives.Captha: N0XXX
>>2962779How do you replace stitches with sugar
>>2962783I thought you wanted the whole thing to dissolve. Huh. I guess make sugar fiber then spin it into sugar string. Like cotton candy. Do you need the stitching to come undone? Couldn't you just make the tie strings dissolve instead?
>>2962783Use that machine they used in the fly to combine swimsuit with sugar
Imagine Caroline in one of these bikinis
>>2962804Could I get a 95 or 110 without the degree? Just stay home and make bread or beer or something
>>2962697So this list your on, is it for life or just until you complete parole?
>>2962697cant you make thread with the same kind of plastic that tide pods are made from? google that type of plastic and then google where you can buy thread with it and then google some sewing tutorials im sure its harder than that since im 100% sure the tide pod plastic formula is secret (there are a brazillian types of plastics) but surely you can find something
>>2962886oh and more, all you have to do is sew the strings to the main fabric part, shouldnt be more than a few dozen stitches per piece
>>2962787The style with tie strings would be the easiest since the dissolvable part could be thicker and made out of quicker dissolving material like cotton candy
>>2962898wrap, string around string, drizzle honey. should hold for a bit.

>>2962697What if someone buys or shoplifts bikinis from a store brings them home replaces all the stitching with water soluble stitching and then returns the bikinis with their tags still on and puts them back on the shelf for some unsuspecting customer to buy?>>2962920How long would a bikini made of this stitching last on a shelf before falling apart? Would humidity destroy it?
>>2962919>>2962898>>2962886Tide pods are impossible to sew with, melts at body temp
>>2962804green shirt would
>>2962792>>2962787>>2962783>>2962779Sugar / isomalt / candy strings dissolve way too fast from sweat/humidity before she even get in water
>>2962843No, there are no documented cases of anyone being charged with product tampering, fraud/theft, indecent exposure/assault, or placed on a sex offender registry specifically due to a dissolving swimsuit prank (e.g., altering and returning swimsuits or tricking someone into wearing one). Extensive searches across news, legal databases, and social media discussions turned up only hypothetical warnings, prank videos, and Reddit speculation about potential risks, but zero verifiable arrests, charges, or convictions tied to this scenario in 2023–2025 (or earlier).

What is with these brown threads on /diy/ lately

>>2962920Are dissolvable filaments not available for 3D printing use, for the purpose of providing removable support when layer elements otherwise unsupported?
>>2963017>>2963033If you want regulated dissolving in water put whatever youre dissolving in a plastic tube to protect it from humidity but water will come in (or be wicked by the fabric) when submerged. Put some holes to make it faster or make the tube longer to make it slower. Very rough recipe: cut the strings, put both ends into a piece of tube from opposite sides, boil water, saturate it with sugar or isomalt (for table sugar 5:1 by weight), pour or inject the hot mixture in the tube. As it cools down it glues the strings together.
>>2963019amazing
>>2962924What's the fun in that? Don't you want to be around, phone cam in hand when it happens?
>>2963140That's also fun
