FAQ
What is bondage tape?
Bondage tape is a type of restraint, usually made from a thin layer of PVC, and used during bondage/BDSM play. The tape is bodily safe as it does not include adhesive, but works by sticking to itself. It's a great option for beginners as it won't cause ant discomfort or pain, plus it's an inexpensive addition to any BDSM toolkit. The rolls are small and discreet and could easily be passed off as just any other roll of tape!

What can you use bondage tape for?
There are many uses for bondage tape when it comes to spicing up your sex-life, but if you’re new to it then you might be unsure about how many wonderful things you can actually do with bondage tape.
Bondage
Bondage tape is specifically designed to perform an easier, less intrusive bondage, as it is easily removed and non-sticky.
It’s great for tying your partner’s limbs together, and experimenting with positions.
Another great use for bondage tape is breast bondage– it can be a great visual turn on!
Pasties
No, not the delicious baked goods!
Pasties can be super sexy for visual turn ons, and teasing; with bondage tape, you can experiment with different shapes, to drive your partner wild.
Mask
Want to bring a mysterious element into the bedroom? Why not try fashioning a sexy mask out of bondage tape?
Sexy clothes
For visual, and bdsm play, drive your partner wild with bondage tape clothes which will definitely tease them.
Gag
This is something you should talk about with your partner beforehand, as you will need to lock down a safe action, instead of a safe word, due to the restriction of the mouth.
Don't use duct tape!
Never skimp on safety! When it comes to being safe with bondage/bdsm, don’t go for what you’ve already got in the cupboard as chances are it’s not safe for what you’re doing, and could lead to bodily harm.
A common misconception with bondage tape, is that duct tape ‘does the job’- it really doesn’t. Yes, it ties your partner up, but at a cost of losing skin, having a reaction, and sporting a bald patch…
Goodbye, skin...
Wearing duct tape on the skin, or intimate areas, for long periods of time will be catastrophic. The longer it’s on, the harder it is to get off, and the more skin you will lose.
It will end with the wearer desperately trying to soak the tape off in water, or a trip to the emergency room.
Duct tape is designed for heavy duty projects that DO NOT include human skin.
Not easy to remove
Duct tape is not a safe option for bondage/bdsm play for many reasons, but the fact that it cannot be easily removed during play is an absolute no go.
If the wearer suddenly wants/needs to stop, it will be a while before the duct tape can be removed, and this is not a situation that anyone should be in.
Adhesive reaction
When you’ve managed to soak the duct tape off after hours, the worst might not have even happened yet- you might develop a reaction to the adhesive, or the tape itself.
Blisters could form, resulting in a trip to the emergency room, and possibly scarring.
Goodbye, hair...
Whether you prefer to be hair free or not, doesn’t matter when duct tape is involved; it will take a good chunk of hair, and skin!
Practice aftercare
With any act of BDSM, you should practice good aftercare; aftercare is important in BDSM as it shows your submissive love, and care after intense scenes. Certain scenes can make you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally tired, which is why it is important to recharge.
Treat any sore spots
Check for any sore spots acquired during play; attend to these gently.
Eat or drink
Have a sugary snack, or your favorite drink to keep your energy up.
A good cuddle
Establish care by engaging in a cuddle with your partner.
Pillow talk
Communicating with your partner can ensure you feel safe after being vulnerable. Tell them whats on your mind.
A good sleep
Your body will need a good rest after a bdsm scene, so be sure to give it what it needs.
How to use bondage tape
Before delving into the exciting world of bondage tape, you should know exactly how to use it! Not only for safety, but to ensure you’re getting the most out of the tape.
Remember; never ever leave someone alone while restrained, and always have a pair of safety scissors available when using any bondage restraint.
Experiment with different styles
One of the most exciting things about bondage tape is the versatility; you can make lots of sexy body wear with it, and there is no sticky adhesive in the way either!
Try binding your hands or feet first to see if you/your partner likes it; you can always move up to more advanced bondage when you’re more familiar.
Communicate
In any act of bdsm, communication is vital; be sure to let your partner know what you’re comfortable with, and listen to them- do all this beforehand, or there is a risk of wires being crossed during sex.
Always have a safe word/action for when you reach your limit- decide this beforehand.
