When choosing restraints for your bondage session it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the many different types on offer. Some people even buy the whole array, spending hundreds of pounds only to find that a certain one or two become popular in the bedroom as the others collect dust.
Extra candid information can help both you and your lover decide on the best restraints to suit your dominant submissive lifestyle.
Spreader Bars
There are many different types of spreader bars, with a variety of restraints added. However understanding the spreader bar itself will help you choose whether your restraint needs this or if you’d be more comfortable with the flexibility of ties and rope.
A spread bar keeps ankles or wrists in a fixed rigid position. The length is designed to be optimum so all areas can be accessed easily, whether it’s the breasts, the vagina or the behind. Movement is limited for the wearer when ties to a spreader bar and that’s what makes them so popular.
The ankle to wrist spreader bar or the wrist to ankle spreader bar
This is designed to give full access to the behind, for spanking, anal penetration, vaginal penetration or more. As both sets of cuffs are on the bar, the wearer is forced into a position that leaves their behind completely exposed. Both of these vary as the ankle to wrist leaves hands cuffed between the legs, parting the thighs for wider access, whereas the wrist to ankle cuffs the hands outside of the ankles, forming a more compact body shape.
Wrist or ankle spreader bar
These are simple steel bars with cuffs attached at the end. Leaving the user helpless, each one can be used to open arms or legs wide with the maximum restraint.
Neck to wrist
Designed to leave the wearer completely defenceless, this cuffs wrists behind the back leaving no room for manoeuvre as the neck tie ensures a rigid restraint. Very popular amongst couples it leaves the user wide open to any form of penetration or pleasure.
Adjustable Spreader Bars
These are ideal for those who like to experiment with width! As ankles or wrists can be brought closer together or forced further apart depending on the mood. Thoroughly versatile they can be used on both ankles and wrists, and leave the wearer completely helpless. These are also ideal for travel as many collapse into three pieces, so you can easily slip into a suitcase without answering awkward questions.
Soft Spreader Bar
The soft spreader bar is perfect for those who are not sure if they would enjoy the restriction of the steel bar. Still rigid, the difference is mainly the material which gives an illusion of soft play rather than full on bondage. As the cuffs fasten with Velcro they’re easy to escape from if need be, becoming the perfect compromise for new adventurers.
