Bondage tape
Definition
Bondage tape is a special type of tape used for bondage in BDSM. It does not stick to skin or hair, but only to itself, making it safe and versatile for tying, restraining, or decorative play.
Explanation of bondage tape
Bondage tape is a popular tool in BDSM because it is easy to use and offers great creative freedom. It resembles ordinary adhesive tape, but is specially designed not to damage skin or hair. The tape stays firmly in place because it adheres to itself, not because it uses glue or adhesive.
This makes bondage tape ideal for beginners and experienced players alike: it can be used to secure hands and ankles, make a blindfold, or decorate the body artistically. Because it moves flexibly and leaves no sticky residue, it can be safe and comfortable when used correctly.
Sometimes treacherous
However, bondage tape also requires attention to safety. When applied too tightly, it can restrict blood flow. In addition, its smooth surface can sometimes be treacherous: sudden force can cause the tape to shift or come loose. For long-term or intensive bondage, rope or leather is therefore often recommended, but bondage tape remains popular for shorter, playful applications and creative experiments.
Another advantage is the variety: bondage tape comes in many colors, which makes it attractive for visual games or role-playing. It is inexpensive, easy to carry, and discreet, making it one of the first toys people often purchase.
Safety & points of attention
Always check the blood flow to the limbs; the tape should not be too tight.
Never leave anyone tied up unattended.
Use scissors or a safety knife when removing the tape to avoid risks.
Be aware of the slippery surface: additional fixation is sometimes necessary for intensive bondage.
