Zentai is a type of full-body suit made of stretchy fabric, usually spandex or Lycra, that covers the wearer from head to toe. It is designed to fit tightly to the body and can come in various colors, designs, and styles, including full coverage of the face (with eye holes) or leaving the face exposed. The term “zentai” comes from the Japanese words “zen” (meaning “whole” or “entire”) and “tai” (meaning “body”), and it is often used in cosplay, performance art, or fetish contexts.

In the fetish and BDSM communities, zentai suits are sometimes worn as a form of body covering or sensory play. Wearing a zentai suit can create a sense of anonymity or transformation, as it hides the wearer’s physical identity. This can contribute to feelings of empowerment, submission, or arousal. Zentai is also commonly associated with a type of fetishism known as “skin-tight” play, where the sensation of being completely encased in fabric is a central part of the erotic experience.

Example:
A couple may use zentai suits as part of their sexual play, where one partner wears a full-body suit and the other interacts with them through touch or other sensory experiences. The suit can provide a feeling of anonymity, which may enhance the excitement or sense of vulnerability during intimate moments. Some people also enjoy wearing zentai suits outside of sexual contexts, as part of cosplay or as a form of personal expression at conventions.
