CastFeel covers an adult topic: a fetish for plaster and casts. The site contains no explicit imagery, but is intended for visitors aged 18 and over.
In the community the medical abbreviations fly around constantly, so we simply list them here as well. Below you will find all the common casts, from easy to seriously challenging. Our advice: start small. A forearm cast is applied in no time, and once both applying and removing go smoothly, you are ready for the bigger projects.
Level: Beginner
From just below the elbow to across the palm, thumb free. The classic starting point: little material, easy to apply and remove, and you can get through the day just fine. Expect 2â3 rolls of 4 inch bandage.
Level: Beginner
A short arm cast that also encases the thumb. A bit more wrapping work around the thenar, but still very doable for beginners. The effect is surprising: without your thumb you suddenly can do almost nothing.
Level: Intermediate
From the armpit to across the hand, elbow at roughly 90 degrees. The bent elbow requires neat wrapping to avoid creases. Big impact on daily life, even getting dressed becomes an adventure.
Level: Beginner
From just below the knee to across the toes, ankle at 90 degrees. Very doable for beginners with a helper. If you want to walk on it, use a cast shoe or walking heel and let plaster cure fully for 24 hours first.
Level: Intermediate
From upper thigh to across the toes, knee slightly bent. Lots of material (6â10 rolls), and walking only works with crutches. The classic fantasy image for many enthusiasts, but only apply it once the short leg cast is routine.
Level: Intermediate
From upper thigh to above the ankle, foot free. Keeps the knee straight while you can still stand on the foot. Watch out for slipping: good moulding above the knee or a strip of adhesive bandage on the skin side helps.
Level: Expert
An arm cast that continues over the shoulder and torso, often with the arm raised ("airplane cast"). Impressive but heavy and hot; requires a lot of material, a patient helper and experience with torso wrapping.
Level: Expert
Torso plus one or both legs. The ultimate experience in terms of restriction, and also the most demanding: you cannot stand, sit or use the toilet independently. Only for experienced couples, never alone, and with a solid plan for care and removal.
Level: Expert
A corset of plaster around the torso, optionally with a neck piece (Minerva). Breathing must never be restricted: leave room, never wrap tightly around the ribcage and keep the session short. Only with an experienced helper present.
Level: Beginner
Not a separate type, but worth mentioning: synthetic casting tape comes in dozens of colours and even prints. Lighter and stronger than plaster, but only removable with a cast saw, so make sure you own one.
