Bondage Toys

So you’re all set to begin your forays into the world of bondage and you want to have a repertoire of a few simple yet secure knots on hand to give your submissive partner the firm restraint that their transgressions call for. We’re here to help. The following knots are easy to learn and tie—just make sure that you always follow safe bondage toys practices and leave two fingers’ worth of space between the rope and your partner.

A square knot is a handy all-purpose bondage knot, and though it requires two strands of rope, it’s not at all difficult to tie. Simply lay down both strands in a c-shape—the curve of each should be the mirror image of the other so that the two combined ropes resemble an oval. Then intertwine the loose ends, tighten your finished product, and you’ve got a working bondage knot that’s perfect for restraining your partner.

A tie knot is handy if you’ve only got a single strand to work with, and if you’ve ever worn a necktie, you probably already know how to do this. Drape the rope over your partner’s wrist or ankle and cross the ends of it. Wrap one end of the rope under the straight part of the strand, and then loop it through the opening at your partner’s limb. You now have a versatile bondage knot that’s perfect for any BDSM occasion.

Don’t forget to have a hitch on hand to fasten a sub to a bedpost. A half hitch is a super-easy bondage hitch that just requires you to loop the rope around a post and make two small spiral loops around the straight part of the rope. Then tighten your bondage hitch and you’re good to go.

Tying good bondage knots doesn’t require any special expertise, just a little practice before you get down to your bondage games. So learn your knots, keep rope-cutting shears on hand during bondage for safety, and have a great time restraining your disobedient sub during your bondage adventures.
