5 Types Of Restraints That Will Get You All Tied Up

By Ksenia Sobchak

Choosing your preferred restraints can get you in a right pickle: do you choose leather or rope? Do you opt for soft restraints, or is metal more your kind of bondage? We look at five types of restraints that will literally get you all tied up.

Ties and Sashes: these soft restraints are the ideal introduction to bondage and restraining. They're simple every day items that can be used for a soft touch such as silk ties, simple silk sashes, or bondage tape. It's easy to use and easy to get out of for quick release bondage fun.

Soft restraints: soft restraints are a bondage upgrade on ties and sashes, and incorporate products like flexi Spank Ties and soft touch cuffs. They're soft on the skin and provide enough restraint to keep your partner wriggling but not fully and forcibly tied back. They're great for people wanting to explore their boundaries with a 'soft core' bondage aspect, and many of the products are available in bright, bold colours for those who aren't quite sure.

Rope restraints: rope is the tried and tested restraint method of old, although the specially formulated bondage rope used today will not leave rope burns or cuts on your skin. Silicon rope is another favourite as it is totally flexible and has a completely different tactile experience.

Leather restraints: Leather restraints are right at home in a goth club or bondage bar, but are also popular choices for bondage enthusiasts wishing to invoke a traditional or Gothic bondage heritage with their restraint play. They offer minimal flex with comfort and equal pressure across the leather surface. In addition, many leather restraints incorporate toys and chains.

Metal restraints: these metal restraints are often used by those who like a little pain with their pleasure. They consist of spreader bars and cuffs, cages and clamps. Thanks to their metal composition, they're cold to the touch and offer little relief as you try to get out of them.
