Looners' place to be

Arrived at 2021 🙂

Hello you! I am very pleased that you are back to read another Guilty Pressure blog! If it is your first time: thank you too for stopping by!😀

I hope you are all doing well while reading this first blog of this year. Let’s hope 2021 will be better than 2020.

In an attempt to make a good start to 2021, I decided to aim for a blog that could be helpful / bring some guidance.

If you know that you want to get yourself a ‘simple’-shaped’, ‘single-chamber’ inflatable or balloon, but you don’t know what would be the best option, this blog may be interesting.

Let me clarify: with Simple-shaped I do not mean that the design and production process are easy (from A to Z, there is a lot more behind it than you may think). The design is ‘simple’ compared to inflatables with a lot of chambers, like dragons, horses, etc.

So, if you:

👉 Are into BIG inflatables like Guilty Pillows and/or giant blimp-shaped
balloons;

👉 Can’t decide what to buy when it comes down to a big balloon or big
inflatable;

👉 Can’t decide what would be a good match your preferences and budget…

…then you probably find this blog extra interesting!🤩

Of course, to those who love to read about inflatables and balloons in general it can be a nice read too – so, please to read on!🥰

PressuRolls, Guilty Pressure Pillows, GL1200s, alternatives…All pillow-ish, but what is what?🙄

Let us first take a closer look at what I mean here. What are these big, single-shaped, single-chamber inflatables and balloons actually?

Guilty PressuRolls (GPR220)
Okay, I was hoping to introduce our own first big, fat inflatable product with a little bit more ‘spicy’ footage and some more ‘fanfare’, but due to the (worsened) pandemic situation that could not be achieved in time. It is what it is. But let’s take a closer look anyway! 😍

As you can see, PressuRolls are Guilty Pressure’s cylinder/battery-shaped inflatables with the Guilty Pressure thematic print on them. They have only one chamber. The transparent and the black ones are made out of sexy shiny vinyl. The pink one was actually a ‘production flaw’ (they were meant to be pearl white), but this vinyl feels even softer than the shiny versions. A little inflatable serendipity!

Some specs:
🔥 Brand: Guilty Pressure x Shosu
🔥 Manufacture method: Factory (bulk manufacturing)
🔥 Manufactured in: China
🔥 Length: 220 cm
🔥 Diameter: 80 cm
🔥 Thickness: 0.18 mm PVC
🔥 Sensation: Sturdy, classic
🔥 Valve: Large, dual system for quick deflation
🔥 Inflation time electric pump 160W: 1.5 minutes approx.
🔥 Toughness: can take some abuse
🔥 Sharp objects resistance: can take some abuse

Guilty Pressure Pillows (Guilty Pillows)
By now, most of you have met the Guilty Pressure Pillows, or Guilty Pillows via our site, our trailers and maybe even full videos or custom videos. These soft big suckers can take some real abuse. Their rubbery, bouncy surface make both Sheena and Evelyn ride go wild every time they mount such a big beast.

Some specs:
🔥 Brand: Guilty Pressure
🔥 Manufacture method: Handcrafting
🔥 Manufactured in: The Netherlands
🔥 Length: 90-400 cm
🔥 Diameter: 80-150 cm
🔥 Thickness: 0.42 mm PVC, mostly rubberized
🔥 Sensation: Balloon-ish, rubbery, fragile
🔥 Valve: Large, safety flap removed
🔥 Inflation time electric pump 160W: 2-7 minutes approx.
🔥 Toughness: can take some abuse
🔥 Sharp objects resistance: pops immediately, similar to a balloon burst

Cattex GL1200s
GL1200s are the blimp-shaped big latex and relatively cheap balloons that many of us are (very) familiar with. Some of us are vary afraid of them (read: Gray). You may have seen one or two getting popped by Sheena in the past, but it is kind of amazing how much abuse they can take. They also seem to come in many colors which is great too!🎈🤩 Here we zoom in on the Cattex GL1200, not on the similar named one from Rifco (which is a great balloon too by the way!).

Custom alternatives and promotional inflatables
Besides the neat inflatables mentioned above and GL1200 balloons, there are some exclusive simple-shaped, big inflatables too – but these are, in many cases custom made inflatables or limited promotional items (like inflatable bottles).

Due to restricting copyrights, I have no photos of this kind of inflatables to show you here, but you will find many examples if you enter the following keywords in the search bar of your favorite search engine: “inflatable bone Hongyi”, “inflatable bottle”, “inflatable battery”, etc.

Some specs:
🔥 Brand: varies (e.g. BeiLe, HongYi)
🔥 Manufacture method: Factory
🔥 Manufactured in: China
🔥 Length: custom
🔥 Diameter: custom
🔥 Thickness: 0.18-0.42mm/custom
🔥 Sensation: classic feel, but depends on preferences
🔥 Valve: custom
🔥 Inflation time electric pump 160W: depends on size
🔥 Toughness: depends on design
🔥 Sharp objects resistance: can take some abuse, but depends on design

About preferences and price tags

In the perception of non-looners, there are only two kinds of looners: poppers and non-poppers. We all know better: there are many more subtle distinctions based on what we like. Some looners like exercise balls over any other inflatable/balloon and others only get the right feeling with ride-ons – there are many variations, combinations and preferences.

To keep things simple, I used the “non-looner-perspective-distinction” in the preference/price-tag table below. So, table below shows for both poppers and non-poppers (maybe even collectors) the best option(s) set against each price range.

For example, if you do not want to spend much, you like popping big balloons and you do not care about durability of the item, then GL1200s may be a good option. Or, you may want an inflatable toy that has been uniquely designed for you and you have saved some serious money…then you could go for a custom item or promotional or vintage inflatable.

See the table below for Guilty Pressure’s suggestions for the best match (under the assumption that expensive items are not actually meant to be popped – no judgment if you are into that, but many of us won’t have the money to pop an expensive inflatable; I don’t at least🤷‍♂️).

Price range*	Item preference	Preference	Options?
< 50	Balloon	Popping	Multiple GL1200s
< 50	Balloon	Non-popping	Multiple GL1200s
< 50	Inflatable	Popping	PressuRoll
< 50	Inflatable	Non-popping	PressuRoll, second hand promotional item (e.g. promotional inflatable bottle)
50-150	Balloon	Popping	Customized balloons(?)
50-150	Balloon	Non-popping & collecting	Customized balloons(?)
50-150	Inflatable	Popping	Multiple PressuRolls
50-150	Inflatable	Non-popping & collecting	Multiple PressuRolls / second hand vintage item (e.g. unique promotional inflatable bottle)
150-250	Inflatable	Popping	Second hand item (like inflatable bottles)
150-250	Inflatable	Non-popping & collecting	Modified PressuRolls, Small Guilty Pillow***
250-600	Inflatable/Balloon	Popping	N/A**
250-600	Inflatable/Balloon	Non-popping & collecting	Guilty Pillow, rubberized
600+	Inflatable	Popping	N/A**
600+	Inflatable	Popping	Custom inflatable from China manufacturer

Exercise balls – These were not taken into account in the table above since these are not under the category of pillow-shaped (peanut balls are an exception). But hey, they are hot as hell and single-chambered, right?!😀

So, those who love exercise balls, and are into popping stuff may best check low-budget stores / second hand sites. If you like them bigger (price range 75-150) and you collect them, you may need to look for special suppliers (CanDo exercise ball suppliers for example). If you have a budget of 600 or more, you may want to contact a Chinese manufacturer that takes assignments for production with a MOQ of 1 or 2.

I hope the table provides you some help in what to choose. Of course, there are much more options than presented here. If you have suggestions yourself, please let us know!

Rectification previous blog & updates for this year’s productions🎬

Rectification – In the Annual Review of 2020, I mentioned that Guilty Pressure got very close to getting a new model that deemed herself too young in 2020. However, she did not get (herself) out of the picture, so I take the chance here to rectify that. She let Guilty Pressure know that ‘when the time comes and she is ready’ that she will be participating in videos. I am very pleased with her about informing me about that, because I think she is extremely suitable for this kind of modelling work. I’d say, to be continued…!🙂💖

Updates this year’s productions – The whole pandemic situation caused a lot of sh*t in general until now, but in terms of (custom) productions 2020 was special! And that was all because of a few customers who got a lot of faith in Guilty Pressure. Again, thank you for that opportunity!🥰

This year’s productions were planned for February, but due to extra restrictive measures from the Dutch government (like a curfew), these will be postponed to at least April / May 2021.

There is good news as well. That one special customer who requested two customs last year, offered to cut some snippets from his second custom that can be offered for public sale on this site. This touched me deeply, because this person is so committed to giving Guilty Pressure a chance to survive, that I have to say thank you, right here, right now! I do hope that you read this🙂 I truly am so grateful for this opportunity, because the customs I made for this person were actually entirely private – and yet, this customer wants others to be able to purchase short fragments of it, all for the purpose of Guilty Pressure’s survival. I owe you one, my friend!🙏

To all the other customers who purchased last year / this year I also want to say thank you for your trust in this small studio!

Please stay safe, everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading this first blog of 2021 and that you can decide for yourself what matches your needs best for the budget you have available.

See you next month! 🎈
