Throughout National Kink Month, we’re having weekly sales on Stockroom.com: this week we’re featuring some of our favorite bondage restraints and gear. All month long we’ll be showcasing tricks, tips and lessons for using the fetish toys and BDSM gear on sale that week.

The popular Twilight-inspired trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey has made many people curious to explore BDSM who have never tried fetish play before. We’ve been loving kinky sex for nearly 25 years here at The Stockroom, so it’s exciting to see others discover how much fun it can be, and great to see questions about BDSM come up in mainstream forums.

When it comes to translating kinky fantasies into reality, though, fetish sex toys and gear can have a learning curve.

If you’ve never used rope, cuffs, or other bondage restraints, one of the easiest, most foolproof ways to learn how to tie someone up is to start with Bondage Tape. Sexy and shiny, Bondage Tape is available in black, red, or bubblegum pink, and comes in 2″ wide rolls that are nearly 5 ½ feet long. The tape is easy to cut to any length you want, though we suggest getting a few rolls at a time so you have plenty to play with.

Sexy, shiny, self-adhesive PVC Bondage Tape

Though it’s called “tape,” it isn’t adhesive; it only sticks to itself, because the stretchy hypoallergenic PVC material has an electrostatic cling. This gives it a strong bond that holds firm without knots or ties – it just needs to be overlapped and pressed together to be secured. And because bondage tape won’t stick to skin or hair, you can even use it to make a quick but effective blindfold (just don’t pull it too tight so it presses too hard on the eyes!) It’s also reusable: just unwrap it and straighten it back out onto the roll when you’re done playing, and it will cling over and over again.

Bondage Tape is so inexpensive, though, that most people simply cut it off when they’re ready to set their partner free or change positions – something that makes it an excellent low risk choice for someone experimenting with bondage for the first time.

Even if you prefer to unwrap your tape so you can reuse it, bondage scissors are something you should always have on hand when you’re using bondage tape or rope. These safety shears have blunt, angled blades, so they’ll cut through layers of tape quickly without cutting the skin underneath. No matter how experienced you are with these kinds of restraints, it’s essential to have this emergency quick-release tool on hand.

Bondage tape can re-used again and again, but we recommend keeping some curb-tipped scissors on hand for emergency quick release.

Tips for Using Bondage Tape

These pointers will help you use Bondage Tape correctly and safely, so you get the most out of it:

• Since Bondage Tape only clings to itself, it works best if you wrap it round a few times in overlapping rows before pressing the ends down to secure them.
• Make sure the tape doesn’t bite into the flesh when wrapping; keep it close to the skin but not tight.
• Always keep the tape flat, like a ribbon; don’t let the Bondage Tape get twisted, or it will turn into a thin cord that won’t stick to anything and cuts into skin.
• Always check to make sure that bound body parts retain good circulation. Remove tape immediately if limbs are cold to the touch or look bluish.
• Don’t leave your bound partner in any one position for too long at a time, to avoid causing injury or circulation problems.
• Never use Bondage Tape for suspension or other weight-bearing forms of bondage.
• Avoid the risk of suffocation: never put Bondage Tape over the mouth or nose, and always make sure your partner can breathe comfortably, as a bound person may not be able to adjust their position unaided.
• Always keep a pair of safety scissors on hand in case tape needs to be cut off quickly.
• If you plan on reusing your Bondage Tape, flatten it out after use, then rewind it onto the spool to store.

Bondage Tips & Fun Roleplay Ideas

Bondage Tape is so versatile and easy to use that it lends itself to dozens of bondage positions and erotic roleplay scenarios. Here are a few of our favorites:

• Bondage Tape is great to use with furniture. Keep your partner bent over by strapping their arms to the arms of a chair, or seat them in the chair and bind their arms and legs that way.
• Tape your partner’s thighs together before getting behind them doggie-style.
• Wrap Bondage Tape around your partner’s head and over their eyes a few times to create a blindfold. You can wrap right over their hair, since the tape won’t stick to anything but itself – just don’t wrap too hard so that it puts pressure on the eyes, and be careful to not give your partner a free haircut if you cut the tape off afterwards!
• Make a tube top or mini skirt out of rows of wrapped tape – do it with the tape still on the roll to create nice, even rows. Let your partner cut you out of your outfit later with your bondage scissors.
• Since bondage scissors are based on the shears medical personnel use to cut bandages or even clothing away from patients, you can even use them to cut your partner out of regular clothing. Imagine staging an erotic “abduction” of your partner; restraining them with bondage tape; then cutting them out of both their bonds and their clothing to have your way with them! Of course, like any other roleplay, this “kidnapping” scene should be consensual, and you should discuss in advance what you both feel comfortable with. Make sure to also talk about wardrobe, too, so you don’t wind up cutting up your partner’s favorite outfit!
• Tease your partner once they’re tied up…or try overindulging and overstimulating them with forced orgasms, and using a vibrating wand massager, hard cock, fingers, or oral to make them cum again and again.
