“I was wondering if people who lose lots of weight and have extra skin could have a kangaroo pouch made with their extra skin. Skin is easy to graft anywhere, so I don’t see why not… Buy would it get saggy and stretch out? Can you get a tendon implanted to keep it tight?”
put a drain in the bottom, that way when you shower you can wash the pouch and the water drains out. Towel dry, then throw a couple silica desiccant packs in and you’re good to go.
Yeah, I figured it would be like obese people that have folds… They clean them, right? Do they get fungus? Is this only for people in desert places? Ooooh… Wait, never thought about sweat before. Hm… OK, so whoever suggested a drain was right. But that’s maybe also a deal breaker from my perspective.
Exactly why my partner no longer asks me, either.

Road trips are 100% podcasts now.
You could definitely make a marsupial, but I think the challenge would be keeping the pocket dry and fungus-free.
Also making sure there is enough bloodflow to the skin to keep it from just dying off.

Oh! Let me know if you find anything. Evey time I ask a doctor they get weird about it.
