I'm looking to buy rope online. The options are between 6mm and 60mm. What do you think will be the ideal thickness? And what type of knot should I use?

An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Optimal choice for full suspension, short drop, would be non-stretchable 20 mm ropeFull or partial? If full, short or long drop?

of course, a thinner rope (10-15 mm) will work well too. But thick rope means less pain and just dull pressure. Otherwise it can't be too thick because it won't constrict during partialI'm unsure but it'd most likely be partial
What about for partial? Would 20mm work for that to or could you go lower?
yeah...I'm going to use long cut-off sock to cover the rope, as a paddingI've seen static climbing rope recommended in the mega thread, but they tend to be on the thinner side (9-11mm). Very reliable but as mentioned above, thicker may be more comfortable as long as it's not too thick. You can also place some cloth between the rope and neck to aid comfort.
This seems to be a common and reliable method.Thank you all!
Hanging will be my backup plan if I'm unable to jump from the bridge. I'll have to hang myself at the hotel... so where would it be best to secure the rope? One idea is tyng the rope to the door handle on the oneside and then putting it over the top of the door then closing the door shut.. any other ideas?
This is my rope I will be trying again later
I'm putting it through a dorma window and shutting it, I've tried and it's very sturdyWhere are you attaching it?

Here's some ropes I have found. Will most likely get more than 10m in length though just to be safe
Using the door is the best way. You can adjust length of rope for full suspension. It's enough to step up a chair or stool and kick it off. Another advice is to use hood or blindfold.Thank you all!

It takes 10-15 seconds to black-out, even with full suspension. No reason to watch aroundThink I'll go with the door then (it'll be the bathroom door in the hotel). Never thought about using a hood or blindfold, its a good idea. Thanks!
Double braided gets you a smooth and silky texture that slides well and will not tear up your neck.Here's some ropes I've found on ebay. Unsure which will be best. Opinions?
