What to consider when buying a BDSM spreader bar

If you’re thinking about buying a BDSM spreader bar then you’re going to want to think about a few different things.

  • Fixed or expandable – With fixed ones you’re tied to a certain width (no pun intended), but with expandable ones you can change and customize the experience.
  • Does it come with cuffs – Some BDSM spreader bars require you to buy additional cuffs to help you use them. This is different from product to product.
  • How many o-rings – Depending on which spreader bar you get, it might contain a different amount of O rings. That is, rings that you can strap lets/wrists etc.
  • How secure are the restraints – You don’t want your sub slipping free, right? Making sure the BDSM spreader bar restraints are firm and won’t become loose or broken is essential.
  • Comfort – As much as you want to have all kinds of naughty fun, it’s important that whoever is wearing the spreader bar is comfortable.

Spreader bar vs Bed restraints

There are two main camps when it comes to getting awesome access to the fun bits on the body: those that love spreader bars, and those that love bed restraints.

We’re going to take a little look at the two and weigh up the pros and cons of each!

  • Spreader bar – They are easy to be used, can be used anywhere, and require no additional apparatus to get them to work. One issue that you might have with spreader bars is that the bar itself may get in the way when you’re getting down to it! That can be quite the annoyance!
  • Bed restraints – Strap your partner to the bed with these kinds of restraints. Sexual straps are great if you have an actual bed to strap them to. They are a little fiddly to get tight enough and get your partner in the right position, but it offers unobstructed access to whatever you want!

Keep reading to find out why BDSM spreader bars are an incredible sex accessory.

A Closer Look at the Bondage Boutique Extreme Expandable Spreader Bar with Leather Cuffs

Bondage Boutique’s extreme spreader bar is the perfect tool for a little bit of loving ‘cruelty’ in your BDSM play! With an ankle spreader bar that expands from 18 to 26 inches, you can expose your partner just a little bit or really put the blush on things with a full Monty style spread.

The cuffs in between really allow for a full ‘southern exposure’ and uninhibited play with your partner’s body, particularly when locked and the keys taken away. If giving up (or receiving) power is your bag, this BDSM spreader bar is right up your street.

The wrist cuffs are static, which is one downside to the construction, but you can always play around with restraints tied to the bars if need be. The really fab thing is that the ankle restraints allow for a full 180 degree rotation – just think of the sexy scenarios!

Pros

  • full 180° ankle cuff rotation
  • 4 padlocks
  • 8 keys

Cons

  • padlocks can be time-consuming
  • static wrist cuffs
  • spreader bar may not be strong enough

My verdict

Based on some of the reviews, you may want to think twice before splashing out on a spreader bar some describe as difficult (locks) and not as durable as they’d like. However, most users have reported a sturdy construction and really fun play-time with this leg spreader bar, depending upon how far the bar is spread. With the holiday season coming up, this is probably one to add to your wishlist!

Buy, if you...

  1. are ready to spread 'em!
  2. want to take your kink play up a level
  3. love the idea of exposure kinks

Don't buy, if you...

  1. don't want to buy real leather
  2. are daunted by time-consuming locking and unlocking
  3. hate fiddly devices

A Closer Look at the Sportsheets Saffron Thigh Spreader Sling

Let the Saffron Thigh Sling from Sportsheets keep your legs exactly where you want them, while you lie back and enjoy they fun!

The red vegan leather neck strap is padded to add some comfortable support, while the two stirrups can be used to support your thighs, lower legs or feet.

Both the main straps and stirrups are adjustable, so you can get the right fit in a range of positions. The neck support has also got two D-rings to make it even more easy to attach wrist restrains or what else you might want to secure.

Pros

  • Easy to use during penetrative sex
  • Neck rest supports head
  • Can be used around thighs, legs, or feet
  • D-rings neck rest for hand cuffs
  • Fully adjustable straps

Cons

  • Might not be suitable for more advanced bondage
  • Not lockable
  • Straps can slip mid session
  • It gets sticky on thighs/neck

My verdict

This is a great thigh sling that both looks the part and performs well. The padded neck rest makes it comfortable to lie back on and stops the sling from pulling too much on your neck. It’s also nice and easy to adjust. While it doesn’t have a fixed spreader bar, it is more versatile in the ways you can use it! You also have the opportunity to attach your own handcuffs to restrain your partner’s wrists to the collar. This sling is best suited to light to moderate bondage.

Buy, if you...

  1. want to explore thigh and leg restraint
  2. prefer the sling style
  3. want to use it during penetrative sex
  4. Want deeper penetration
  5. Have mobility issues
  6. Want the option for hands free positions

Don't buy, if you...

  1. want lockable cuffs
  2. Have neck issues
  3. Want a more rigid positioning device
  4. Don't enjoy the leather feel

A Closer Look at the Sportsheets Spreader Bar with Cuffs

If you want to quickly get down and dirty with your sex spreader bar, Sportsheets has you covered – well, exposed, to be honest. With a no-nonsense, no-frills approach, this handy little restraint bar will have you and your partner arguing about who gets to be restrained first! The neoprene and Velcro cuffs are simple to use, making this BDSM spreader bar perfect for first-timers or old-timers who want it fast and dirty. There are two stiff metal spreader bars inside the neoprene case, so this is not for people who want a flexible hold on their bondage gear.

Pros

  • cheap and cheerful
  • 16-inch spread width
  • no-frills fun

Cons

  • not adjustable
  • only Velcro fastenings
  • simple construction

My verdict

For the low price, you need to get involved, bent over, tied up and shagged rotten with Sportsheets’ lovely, simple approach to bondage and exposure! There are no frills and no time like the present on this straightforward bondage bar. The best thing about is is the simple construction and that it doesn’t take very long to get into or out of. Perfect for the super horny pair who can’t wait any longer.

Buy, if you...

  1. want to engage in simple bondage and spreadage
  2. love a no-frills look
  3. are into saving money

Don't buy, if you...

  1. want secure fastenings
  2. have particular spreader bar needs
  3. fancy adjustability

A Closer Look at the Purple Reins 12-Inch Thigh Spreader Bar

Purple Reins is a wonderful company, simply for the fact that they got a punny reference to a Prince song into their company name – and who doesn’t love bondage-related puns! The company has released this handy dandy little contraption that forces you to keep your thighs open for business all. night. long. Just like Lionel Richie.

Crafted from sturdy purple nylon with a small, 12-inch spreader bar in between the cuffs, this is perfect for beginners or for more advanced users who don’t want all the fuss and drama of typical BDSM equipment. Plus, it’s insanely cheap!

Pros

  • simple construction
  • cheap as chips
  • strong and effective

Cons

  • bar not adjustable
  • cuffs not suitable for all sizes
  • rough material

My verdict

With such a low price, this is egalitarian bondage gear at its finest! You can literally spread the love with this inexpensive, yet high-quality piece of BDSM kit. It’s particularly wonderful for couples or groups who have a wide variety of wrist and ankle sizes, as it’s just adjustable. There really isn’t anything to complain about here. Happy spanking!

Buy, if you...

  1. love purple restraints
  2. are a sucker for a good pun
  3. want a simple spreader bar

Don't buy, if you...

  1. want wrist restraints
  2. desire lots of configurations
  3. hate puns

A Closer Look at the Dominix Deluxe Inflatable Spreader Bar, Cuff and Blindfold Set

A fun alternative to a metal sex spreader bar, this fun little gadget inflates to a whopping 29 inches – an extreme spread width, not for the faint of heart. Lacking any metal in the bar at all, your partner’s legs are kept apart by this cute little bondage ‘balloon’! The plastic inflatable ‘bar’ is encased in soft velvet for a luxury feel. Fully deflatable and compact, this is the perfect little BDSM travel gadget! Assisted adorably by matching cuffs and a blindfold (or sleeping mask, depending on your proclivities), this baby sports an O-ring on each cuff.

Pros

  • fully deflatable
  • huge spread width
  • cute balloon shape

Cons

  • it's not really a spreader bar
  • the bar length isn't adjustable
  • the balloon can bend and twist

My verdict

With the price tag the same as other spreader bars with a higher quality of material and construction, this may not be the main item you use for your “stop and spread ’em” activities. However, for travel and for gentle, no-metal-included spreading BDSM play, it may be just the ticket! Particularly if you and your partner are often on the road, or want to transport between your home and theirs, this is ideal.

Buy, if you...

  1. want a fold-away spreader bar
  2. love blowing things
  3. want a BDSM lite spreader

Don't buy, if you...

  1. want an intense spreader
  2. want to keep your sub's legs apart
  3. don't like plastic inflatable things

A Closer Look at the Stockroom Thigh Spreader Bar

This is a serious thigh spreader that will leave your sub’s legs stretched wide open and ready for your attention!

The bar measures 18 inches across and has adjustable leather cuffs at either end that are secured using padlocks. For even deeper submission, you can attach your own wrist restraints to the eyebolts on the bar.

The thigh cuffs are adjustable from 12.5″-25″ and you can choose between a black or chrome finish.

Pros

  • Can withstand heavy duty play
  • Lockable
  • Swivel mounted cuffs
  • Eye bolts to add more restraints

Cons

  • Locks are needed but not included

My verdict

This is definitely a more advanced spreader bar for someone who knows they love restraint play and are ready to spread wide open. While it’s more expensive than the other options in this review, it’s a very high-quality thigh spreader that’s made by The Stockroom’s leather team in LA. The extra eyelets are also a great addition if you want to restrain your partner’s wrists as well.

Buy, if you...

  1. are looking to invest in a quality thigh spreader
  2. love leather
  3. want a lockable thigh spreader
  4. crave a more intense stretch

Don't buy, if you...

  1. are new to thigh spreaders
  2. are on a budget
  3. can't stretch 18 inches

A Closer Look at the Bondage Boutique Expandable Spreader Bar with Leather Cuffs

Bondage Boutique’s more cost-effective model of its  is a straightforward, yet sassy solution to your spreader bar woes! Made from high-quality leather, the best thing about this sex spreader is its extreme adjustability. Literally every bit of this can be adjusted, moved or modified, making it perfect for multiple partners and multiple scenarios. Doesn’t matter if you’re rocking a thruple, a his and hers, a hers and hers or a theirs and theirs!

The 2.5 inch high leather cuffs are lined with faux fur so that you’re comfortable while still being as ‘used and abused’ as you want to be. The bar breaks down into three pieces as well, making it perfect for Bondage-Cons, meet-ups and munches.

 

 

Pros

  • completely adjustable
  • 2 padlocks
  • 4 keys

Cons

  • it's hard to think of any
  • not cruelty-free
  • honestly, this is a bargain

My verdict

An easy ‘cheat’ if you can’t afford Bondage Boutique’s full wrist-and-ankle spreader bar is to pick up this one and use your own wrist cuffs! Kink on a budget is still just as fulfilling. Plus, this is a luxury item for half the price. With two padlocks and adjustable lengths plus comfy faux fur, you can’t beat this leg spreader bar. Get spreading!

Buy, if you...

  1. want high quality but low cost
  2. want to spread your 'wings'
  3. love super adjustable gear

Don't buy, if you...

  1. are vegan
  2. want wrist cuffs included
  3. don't want locking cuffs

A Closer Look at the XR Brands Master Series Deluxe Wrist and Ankle Spreader Bar

This beauty is for the bravest of bondage babes! XR Brands has produced another fabulous accoutrement for your BDSM play, this time in the deluxe wrist and ankle spreader bar with matching luxury cuffs. Each part of it is detachable, meaning you can lock up your sub by the wrists, by the ankles, or by both. There are a variety of fun positions to try with this sex spreader and you should definitely collect ’em all.

All four cuffs are crafted from fine leather with soft inners so you don’t cause any (intentional) damage to your precious sub. And the best bit? It comes with a 30-day warranty should your friskiness get a little too frisky.

Pros

  • beautiful construction
  • detachable spreader bar
  • luxury leather cuffs

Cons

  • not suitable for vegans
  • stiff metal bars
  • you might love it too much

My verdict

While it may be on the pricier side of the BDSM accoutrement spectrum, this beautifully constructed, luxury BDSM spreader bar is worth the splurge. Time to tell Santa you’ve been a very good (naughty) boy or girl!

Buy, if you...

  1. want a deluxe spreader bar
  2. desire configurable spreader toys
  3. want a full exposure

Don't buy, if you...

  1. are new to spreader bars
  2. have a tight budget
  3. don't like metal toys

A Closer Look at the Sportsheets Bondage Spreader Bar with Metal Cuffs

Oh baby, you’re so metal! This new handcuff spreader bar is the perfect gift for the metal lover in your life. Featuring a 14″ metal bar with handcuffs at each end, this is intended for use on the wrists, but can also be used on smaller ankles (please be careful and don’t twist or bend your ankles if this is how you use it!). The metal is nickel-free, which is great for those with allergies or who find nickel an irritant.

With unyielding metal at your wrists, you’ll love the feeling of giving up full control and being completely at your lover’s mercy with this sexy spreader bar!

Pros

  • sexy, cool metal
  • high-quality locking handcuffs
  • 14" spreader bar

Cons

  • length is not adjustable
  • static wrist cuffs
  • unyielding metal

My verdict

While it may only be a one-trick pony, what a sexy trick it does! This is the back-to-brass-tacks, no-comfort tool for fun roleplaying for all your cop-and-robber fantasies, or just for good old fashioned bondage sex spreader bar use.

Buy, if you...

  1. only want a spreader for wrists
  2. enjoy cop roleplay
  3. are a metal lover

Don't buy, if you...

  1. are allergic to aluminum
  2. have very large or small ankles
  3. want gentle toys

A Closer Look at the Fetish Fantasy 24-Inch Spreader Bar and Handcuff Set

The folks at Fetish Fantasy have brought a great toy to kinsters around the world! Featuring a brave 24-inch ankle spreader bar, detachable smaller 10″ bar and enough possibilities, you might not have time to try them all out. The central strap that links the two bars together is adjustable and removable and there are two central O-rings and two end rings as well.

You can literally put your partner in just about any position you desire, making it perfect for sexy people who believe that variety is the spice of a sex life. This sexy set also includes a storage bag with padlock and keys, a detachable collar and a free blindfold. Ding dong!

Pros

  • detachable central strap
  • fully adjustable in every way
  • four O-rings

Cons

  • straps may not be robust enough
  • only Velcro fastenings
  • honestly, though, it's a great set!

My verdict

Despite being a little pricey, this leg spreader bar is so configurable, it could end up being the only one you need! It’s a beautiful item and we just love the connecting bar and four O-rings for lots of additional fun. With the extras (locking storage bag, collar and blindfold) and the incredible variety of ways this can be used, it really is a ‘must-buy’.

Buy, if you...

  1. want a flexible spreader bar
  2. love configurable bondage
  3. want to try different positions

Don't buy, if you...

  1. don't want to buy real leather
  2. are daunted by time-consuming locking and unlocking
  3. don't like neoprene or metal

A Closer Look at the Fifty Shades of Grey Bound to You Faux Leather Spreader Bar

This bondage spreader bar has the luxury look normally reserved for Victorian lamps and medical equipment! While it sadly only comes with the spreader bar and can’t be used for the purpose unless you splash out for the accompanying cuffs, it’s still a beautiful piece of kit. Probably best for beginners and newbies to BDSM, as dedicated kinksters prefer a solid spreader bar that does what it says on the tin.

With beautiful faux leather that looks like the real deal and gorgeous gold accents, this is one for the youngsters and dedicated Fifty Shades of Grey fans. The faux leather is also easy to clean and take care of. It comes with four clips, two on the bottom and two each on the side. You can buy the accompanying cuffs here.

 

 

Pros

  • luxury faux leather
  • beautiful gold accents
  • four clips

Cons

  • 50 shades is slightly problematic
  • not useable without further purchases
  • only 20" spreader bar

My verdict

While the idea of a fan fiction branded bit of BDSM kit probably won’t appeal to most dedicated kinksters, and the price point is pretty high, especially as it doesn’t come with cuffs, this could be good for those new to the world of kink. Particularly if your BDSM is more bodice-ripper, romance novel style!

Buy, if you...

  1. really love fan fiction
  2. don't mind that cuffs aren't included

What's the difference between thigh spreaders and full spreader bars?

Both thigh spreaders and BDSM spreader bars can be used to hold your legs open and are worn by the submissive partner during BDSM play, but what are the differences?

 

Thigh Spreaders:

  • Restraints are worn around the thighs
  • Can be a bar or sling
  • Great for teasing
  • Not as versatile for penetrative sex
  • Easier to use for self bondage

Spreader Bars

  • Restraints worn around the ankles
  • Can come in adjustable versions
  • Sometimes have wrist restraints as well
  • More versatile for penetrative sex

Spreader Bar Sex Positions

Once you’ve got your spreader bar, it’s time to get down to the fun stuff! Here are some positions to try!

Seated

The partner being restrained lies back on the bed, propped up on some pillows against the wall. Their partner can then apply the spreader bar. This position is great for power play and teasing.

Doggy

Keep your partner’s thighs spread and in place during doggy style by putting the thigh spreader on once they are in position.

Lie back on the bed and lift your legs in to a V shape. You partner can then attach the thigh spreader. This also works very well with a thigh sling or full spreader bar.

FAQ

Are spreader bars just for women?
OF COURSE NOT. There are plenty of M-M couples and of course, straight men who love the feeling of being bound, stretched, spread and used by their partner, whatever their partner's gender! While a lot of sex toy imagery, including on some of our favourite sites, depicts women as the submissive, it's simply not the case that only women like to experience spreader bars, BDSM or being submissive.
Are thigh spreaders beginner friendly?
Yes! Thigh spreaders can be beginner-friendly, but I would recommend going for a smaller bar and velcro restraints for a gentle introduction.
Are spreader bars dangerous?
No. Like any tool, spreader bars are as dangerous or as fun as you make them! Remember the safety advice included above, do as much Internet searching, reading and of course, ALWAYS talk with your partner ahead of time, communicate during and remember after care afterward! Reddit has some great BDSM communities where you can ask questions, as do FetLife and Twitter. There are no dumb questions when it comes to practicing safe, sane, consensual BDSM.
Do I need to spend a lot of money on a BDSM spreader bar?
100% not. Many of the leg spreader bars in this list are less than $50 and you can always look around for a bargain and compare sites. BedBible includes as many links as possible so that you get the fairest, best price for the item you want. That said, like with anything, quality often comes with a higher price tag.
What is the best material for a spreader bar?
It's best to find something that's tough, but a little flexible - mainly to avoid injury and make sure you can have fun and let yourself go in the moment. That said, one of the points is a spreader bar is to feel very restrained and to increase trust via giving up power, so go for what you and your partner need at the time. And remember, you can always have more than one!
Are thigh spreaders only for partnered play?
Thigh spreaders tend to be used with a partner but they are also a good option for self bondage as they are easy to put on and take off by yourself.
Can I use them in public?
Of course! Spreader bars can be and often are used at events to 'display' a slave or a sub, and they're also incorporated into burlesque, stripping and erotic shows. Just make sure that the spreader bar you choose is the one best suited to public play.

What is a sex spreader bar?

A spreader bar, leg spreader bar, sex spreader bar or BDSM spreader bar is an item used to keep a sexual partner's limbs - arms, legs or both akimbo, or literally spread apart, so that they're on display or so that their partner has easy access to their naughty, fun bits. Will you feel exposed while strapped into a BDSM spreader bar? Yes - and that's the whole point. For vulnerability and the sensation of being laid bare for someone else to completely enjoy. It's a deliciously helpless feeling that you and your partner are sure to revel in!
