Costumes and Pig Apparel

Piggy costumes and accouterments are often a large part of pig play. They can be cute, embarrassing, or dehumanizing (or any combination thereof) and help to remind the sow of her status. They can be elaborate and expensive or cheap and simple. Most of these additions are not meant to be seen in public. They may be temporary, locked on, or semi-permanent. The sow will be subject to punishment for removing any of them without permission. Such additions may include, but are not limited to, the following examples.

- A pig snout. This could be a simple plastic pig snout held on by an elastic band, or could be a realistic prosthetic blended onto the skin. Whether simple or fancy, the sow will wear a snout for as long as she is ordered. She will submit to having the snout glued to her face if her Owner wishes, so that she cannot remove it (at least not without effort and pain). Naturally, this would prevent her from showing her face in public.

- Pig ears (perky or floppy). These would most likely come in the form of a costume headband which the sow would wear, but they might also be found as realistic prosthetics. They might also be attached to the outside of a hood or affixed to a locking harness. Though more difficult to arrange, they could be attached to multiple, locking ear piercings to fix them in place.

- A pig tail. No pig is complete without a curly tail. A tail could be sewn onto her clothing or glued to her skin. She might need to cut holes in the back of her clothes to allow the tail through, but it might also be cute simply as a curled bulge showing through her clothes. Unfortunately, body skin surface piercings are not safe enough to allow the semi-permanent attachment of a tail.

- Trotters. The sow could be required to wear gloves to shape her hands into a more pig trotter-like shape, essentially giving her two fingers and a thumb on each hand. Such a glove could be fashioned from re-sewn lycra gloves, or a sturdier design could be custom-made from leather or rubber. If ordered to, the sow will have to learn how to go about daily life with her hands thus constrained. A similar configuration could also done with socks or slippers for her feet.

- Pig teats. Normal pigs have about five rows of teats. There are a number of ways these could be represented if desired by the Owner. Teats made of silicon false breasts could be glued in pairs down the length of the sow’s belly, or worn in pockets in a custom-made garment. Or false nipples could be glued on instead of entire false breasts (which would appear somewhat more realistic since pigs don’t have breasts, yet would be less visually interesting). A somewhat more dehumanizing version could have rows of teats lower on the sow’s belly while her real breasts were compressed and hidden beneath the garment - this might prove humiliating as it would minimize her human female characteristics while emphasizing only the animalistic ones.

- Nose hooks. Nose hooks are a blunt, curved device designed to hook the nostrils and pull the nose upwards, sometimes attached by a string pulled over the top of the forehead, sometimes as part of a locking head harness. Additional hooks can pull the edges of those nostrils out to the sides, as well. This gives the nose a more flattened, snout-like appearance. They’re meant to be humiliating, but could also be an interesting alteration of the sow’s appearance. It might be quite uncomfortable for the sow, at first, but she might get used to it in time. If ordered, the sow would have to wear them, perhaps constantly day and night. It should be noted that the hooks tend to pull the upper lip up as well, which might make eating problematic, and might need to be removed at such times.

- Nose ring. Whether or not the Owner and sow agree upon other body piercings in general, the sow must automatically consent to getting a nose ring if her Owner wishes it. Such a ring would pierce the septum of the sow, in a manner befitting a livestock pig, and should be large and heavy (as opposed to a simple jewelry style nose ring). It may also be semi-permanent (removable only with special pliers). Such a ring would not only be a constant reminder of the sow’s status, but could also be convenient for tethering her in place, or even provide a means to lock a snout over the sow’s nose without resorting to glue.

- Pig hoods and masks. The sow may be required to wear a degrading pig-shaped mask over her head, possibly for long periods (as long as it provided sufficient air). A mask could be anything from a rubber costume mask, or thin latex mask, to a more cute, cloth mask. One possibility could be a featureless lycra hood without even eye openings, only a mouth opening, with sewn on ears and possibly a snout. This style of hood would objectify her by reducing her head to just her mouth and iconic pig features. If required to wear a heavier style of mask for long periods, she may need to be fed and watered via a tube.

- Pig bodysuits. A pink, full-body suit might be both attractive and practical. A snug, lycra bodysuit could appear somewhat flesh-like and would also provide a means to attach things like ears, a snout, teats, a tail, trotters, etc. Such a suit could be considered as her ‘bare’ skin, and as such she could wear her underwear and clothing on top of it. The sow could conceivable wear such a suit for a very long time, to the point of rarely seeing her own real skin. A variation could be a pink latex suit with similar features, which would make her more waterproof/messproof, but would also have to be worn for only limited durations.
