By slipping a 16-inch round Qualatex Geo Balloon over a 2-inch receiver, you can blow the balloon up carefully in place. This creates a large fat support around the receiver which adds virtually no weight at all. You just gently stretch the balloon's center hole over the receiver housing and get it evened out before inflation. The Geo is a very strange donut shaped balloon made on special machines. There is another 16-inch version called the "blossom" version, which has five lumps around its circumference and blows up into kind of a five-sided somewhat flower shape. It also has potential. The dark material inside the receiver, is the neck from a giant blue balloon used as a high compliance enhancement for the constrictor on this particular receiver.
| You might also note the hose tubulation in the above picture is at a funny angle? This is the result of overheating with very hot water which softened the plastic of the tubular housing. Since I have several housings and this was considered a plus for use with inflated Geo mountings, I just left it. But it does illustrate that the housings can be softened and distorted by very hot water, being a thermoplastic. |
However, the receiver now has different properties in use. It can be manipulated by the thighs while laying on your back to control the receiver action. A very nice type of rocking action can be generated. In other positions the banging of the Geo against the thighs and belly can enhance the sensations. While kneeling, it will support the Geo on a pillow or two to adjust the height. The bottom of the Geo will support the receiver and encourage it to rock back and forth. The blossom shape works well for this as you can position it with one of its "flat" sides down.
This is one case where mounting the hose tubulation at the rear of the housing could be an advantage. But the Geo balloon support works either way. This is not really a practical solution to the face down receiver problem. The hard receiver is still a major factor in any attempt to use the receiver face down without lots of padding underneath it and there is danger the balloon might burst, so face down use cannot be recommended.
The above example has the hose at the front. The scissors and the receiver give some idea of the final inflated size of the combination. The blossom types do not inflate quite so large, but are more popular and may be easier to locate. Only Qualatex makes these Geo balloons and you will need to find a business that supplies balloon decorators and flower shops and is a Qualatex distributor in your area. They are a bit pricy since they are such a unique balloon, but a bag will last quite a while.
In either case you can add the barely inflated second Geo trick to the front opening, especially in the case of the hose mounted on the front. First inflate a 16-inch Geo balloon tightly and let set for a minute or two. Then deflate the stretched Geo and re-inflate it just a tiny bit, just enough to give it shape and some spring, and tie it off. This creates a nice fat inflated O-ring which can be stretched over the receiver opening. The above photo shows a red Geo that has been so prepared.
You might notice this red Geo has been exposed to the air for some time and has lost its initial glossy appearance. This is typical of latex degradation. But these barely inflated Geos can be expected to last for several days at least, longer with careful storage, but they may need re-inflating at intervals. This red Geo has also been lightly powdered with baby cornstarch to preserve it in storage, exaggerating the frosted appearance.
The above photo shows 16-inch Geo rounds and the 6-inch Geo blossoms. The six inch size seems to be of no real use with the Venus receivers, all of their dimensions are too small. There is a 16-inch size of the blossom style however, mentioned above. It looks the same, with the five lumps around the center hole, but it is much closer to the size of the round 16-inch Geos shown. When looking for the Geo balloons, do not get the six inch size by accident. The six inch blossoms are show here just to illustrate that shape.
