Firstly, welcome to the forum!
As much as I do like simulating, I've rarely used the basic balloon method. I find they move around too much due to the material of them and there's always that fear in the back of my mind that it'll pop if you try adjusting it or putting it under a t-shirt which may just hug it a little too tightly...
However after saying that, I'm very interested in your method using tape as I've never tried that myself, but it does seem rather 'labour intensive' with all due respect. I've never had it to hand when simulating (I often have to improvise using just about anything that doesn't involve borrowing things or costing money...). Usually, I don't get the amount of personal time to do something like this or I may be in something like a hotel room...
However if it works for you and you have the time and sources at hand to do this - brilliant!
