The secrets behind ranking the best BDSM stockades
We’re going to level with you – there’s no big secret behind how we ranked the best BDSM stockades. Allow is to tell you how we did it! Firstly, we approached our network of freelancers that were more than happy to give us the lowdown on whichever BDSM devices they had tried out. They didn’t pull their punches either – but that’s exactly what we wanted! Unadulterated truth! We then allowed our team of sex toy testers to study all aspects of the stockades, finding the positives and negatives of each. Once we’d spent tens of hours doing all this research, we were able to rank the stockades in a variety of areas: design, ease of use, quality, and price. We rated each of them on a scale out of 100, before giving an overall star rating out of 5. That means you can see our unbiased thoughts at just a glance. Ideal if you’re short on time!
Types of BDSM Stockade
There’s not just one type of BDSM stockade – there are in fact quite a few! So let’s go through a few of the most popular ones!
- Neck – Many people love the feeling of something around their neck or throat, and being restrained in that way leaves them with a fantastically helpless feeling, so neck stockades are a popular choice!
- Wrist – Police use handcuffs for a reason, you know! To stop you from stopping them! It’s the same principal with wrist restraints. They keep the wearer from stopping their dom from doing whatever they want!
- Ankles – You can’t escape if you can’t run! Ankle restraints keep the legs spread and most importantly stop subs from getting away from their doms!
- With sex machine – Let’s get a little bit extra now, because you can buy stockades that can be combined with sex machines! SO not only are you strapped into the restraining device, but you also have a machine mercilessly pounding away into you! Delightful!
FAQ
What are BDSM stockades?
BDSM stockades are a type of device that can be used to restrain someone. Or for someone to use to restrain you! They more often than not position whoever is rearing them so that they can be used properly, offering maximum and unrestricted access to each and every part of the body. Stockades are reminiscent of medieval torture devices, meaning that they often look kind of barbaric. But don't worry - there's no torture going on here. Well, not the bad kind anyway! It's all about the pleasure of whoever is wearing the stockade and whoever put them in it!

It is a simple design made of wood, featuring steel hardware. It looks brutal and uncomfortable, but the fact of the matter is that because of the leather inlays around the neck hole, it’s fairly comfy to wear.

BDSM Safety 101
Having fun is all well and good, but it’s got to be SAFE fun! There are a few key things that you need to know about BDSM safety, and we’re going to go through a few of the most vital points you need to keep in mind when getting down and dirty with your BDSM stockades!
Make sure you get informed consent!
It takes two to tango, and no matter how passionate you are about using a BDSM stockade (or any sex toy for that matter), it is essential that you get informed consent from your partner. They need to know what they’re getting into and what to expect. Knowing you’re both on the same page and agree to what’s going to happen is vitally important!
Have a safeword or cue!
Things can get rough and very physical when using BDSM stockades, so making sure that you both agree on a specific safety word is essential. It is important that you both understand what the safety word is and respect the other person’s decision to use it. If you hear them calling the word, STOP! Similarly, they might have something in their mouth that prohibits them from talking, so agree on a cue that will let you both understand that enough is enough!
Aftercare is important too!
Maintaining your BDSM stockades is important if you want them to be in perfect condition each and every time you come to use them. Making sure you have an aftercare routine makes sure that not only are they clean and hygienic, but that they are in a condition that won’t cause any injuries or harm the next time you and your partner are feeling frisky!
How to use BDSM stockades
BDSM stockades can often look scary and intimidating, and using them isn’t always so obvious. But that’s okay, we’re here to help explain how you use them! So let’s get to it!
Check that your stockade is in good condition!
Checking that your stockades are in good working condition before using them is pretty essential. After all, you don’t want to strap your sub into them, only for them to discover something potentially harmful is wrong with them! Putting in the groundwork beforehand ensures that things go smoothly and sexily once you get going!
Make sure you both agree to what's going to happen!
You and your partner both need to know what you’re letting yourself in for when using stockades! Talking to your partner and getting them to explain their wants, needs, and desires is a great idea. Similarly, you should explain your wants, needs, and desires. You need to be on the same page when using BDSM stockades if you want things to stay fun and – more importantly – safe!
Strap in and get going!
Once you’re both ready to go, you’re going to need to strap your sub into the BDSM stockade. You want to ensure that it’s secured tight enough for them not to be able to escape, but not so tight that it causes them any pain or discomfort. Once you’re both happy, it’s time to get going. Enjoy!
Know each other's limits!
Everyone has limits, and it’s no different when using BDSM stockades. Understanding what your partner wants and doesn’t want is important, and knowing when to stop is just as much part of using the stockades as all the fun and naughty stuff. If you or your partner decide that enough is enough, then it’s time to stop, get out of those stockades, and either take a break or call it a day.

components
If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy.
