Dear Marla,

A week or so ago, James asked me, "How are you coming with that 100%/100% protocol?"

I told him I didn't think it was possible. There's simply no way I can remain entirely enclosed all of the time. No one can. I know it is a major goal for me, but it all just seems so insurmountable.

"Why?" He asked.

"There are just too many real-world, practical problems working against Mistresse's desire for me to be 100% Enclosed in latex 100% of the time. 100% is not possible in both cases."

"Why not?"

"Well, for one thing, I know from hard experience that the suit has to come off for bathing fairly often. When I wear it for extended periods without bathing, I start getting small, very itchy bumps in my skin. LatexLadyII seemed to think two soaking baths a day were needed to balance skin health with endurance. That would mean at least 2-3 hours per day outside the 100%/100% protocol. Then there are the inevitable dentist appointments, unexpected guests, or, maybe, I just need a break from it. So, maybe the result would be more like, say, 100%/85%."

I continued, telling him that there was also a similar problem with the Enclosure side of the 100%/100% protocol. The problem is that I need to be able to see to do the housekeeping. Then there's eating. And what about breathing? A girl has got to breathe, you know. Each of these requires holes in the latex which renders it something less than 100% enclosure.

So, I might be at something like 96%/85%, which creates a 'deficit' for the day."

James asked "is there something you can do to make up for the deficit?"

I replied, "Well, I've thought about just layering, say, a 2nd catsuit all day to compensate for the defecit. That gets messy, however, becaause different garments offer different amounts of enclosure. So, the problem becomes, 'If I want to, say, take tomorrow off from rubber to go to the dentist, how many additional garments do I need to layer in the following days to make up for it?'"

James rolled his eyes. "Wow, I see. That sounds 'messy'."

[[[ @24.1107-1043.53atx: what about how much each layer 'count' later. Too much detail here now, as it is. Tackle that later somewhere else. ]]]

I made a face. "It's not working at all. I get confused with the math."

He scrunched up his face in a quizzical look. "Math? What math?"

"The problem is that most of the latex pieces I have do not enclose me at 100%.

I continued. "In most cases, the eyes, mouth and nostrils of my hood are parts that are not usually enclosed. There are buckles on the side to accomdate a blindfold and mouth covering. There's three holes - two for eyes and one for mouth -- that I can cover to make it almost 100% enclosure. What about the breathing holes? Do we count them"

Lorraine suggested that we could say that any "necessary" breathing tubes or holes are simply not counted.

Of course, the real problem is that I need to see to work. I may also need to eat or talk. The holes foreach of these holes is 1%. So, if you have everything but your mouth and eyes covered in latex, you would be at 97% enclosure.

XXXXI continued. "In most cases, the eyes, mouth and nostrils of my hood are parts that are not usually enclosed. There are buckles on the side to accomdate a blindfold and mouth covering.
