Best Bondage Rope & Other Restraints to Try

When you are a bondage beginner, you want to explore as many options as you can. The vast world of bondage has plenty of options for everyone, so it’s important to experiment and try new things in order to see what you like and how your particular brand of bondage will look like.

When it comes to tying limbs and people, rope is the most common form. Usually the recommended ropes are made out of nylon and clothesline because they are softer and easier on the skin that something a bit rougher like twine or jute.

Rope works great when it comes to tying limbs, and is also aesthetically very appealing and artistic. Once you know what you’re doing, rope can be an art form, as the designs can get extremely specific and detailed. But I’m here to expand your knowledge; there are other great tools you can use for tying someone that have nothing to do with rope.

Leather restraints and straps can also work great when you want you want to tie a partner. You can find padded varieties and even ones that come with a lock, so they don’t escape.

Chains are also a very common option for those looking to expand beyond rope. Chain and metal are very interesting materials that feel really different on the skin, so it’s definitely worth a try. But be careful about lengths; chain can’t be cut as easily as rope, obviously. So take the measurements of the parts you want to tie so you know how much chain to get. To be on the safe side, you can add an inch because it’s better to have a bit more than to be too short.

You also want to get a couple of bolt snaps. They are necessary in order to create attachments and other fun things…Chains are great as a bondage staple, but you can also use them together with some leather restraints in order to attach someone to a chain. Keep in mind these can be less comfortable than rope, but can be helpful when you are looking for a particular scene.

You can run the chain around the edge of a bed and tie you partner spread eagle in the bed. The thing is, each link will be a point of attachment. You can basically do this anywhere you like, as long as you have the equipment and a willing partner wink*.
