Has anyone ever worn a straitjacket?

Question

I have to wear one for an upcoming project for a psych class on the psychological impact of restraint. Has anyone ever worn one? I'm wondering what I'm in for.

Answer 1

I wear them for fun, I have several of them. If you are claustrophobic, you might freak out. Just make sure you can trust the people that are going to be around you when you are wearing it. With practice I have been able to escape from them pretty easily.

Answer 2

I've never worn one--though I've often wondered if I was going to end up in one.....

I have a friend who is a psychiatric nurse and I know all the straps are adjustable, so they should be able to loosen it to where you don't have a panic attack.  One arm goes around your waist and the other over your shoulder.  The strap from that one goes between your legs and then the excess meets the one from around your waist and it fastens there.
