Stockroom Adjustable Yoke
Stockroom Adjustable Yoke is a simple yet exciting BDSM accessory that is made up of a metal bar, two leather fleece-lined bondage wrist cuffs, and a fleece-lined leather collar. It keeps your arms in a raised position, away from your body, not allowing you to have much of a range of movement no matter how hard you try! The length of each side of the yoke is adjustable, so you can make sure that it fits you perfectly. It also disassembles into three pieces making it extra easy to store and transport.

Quite expensiveLocks/snap hooks sold separatelyNot the most exciting thing everIf you want something that’s customizable, easy and comfortable to wear, and made out of premium materials, then the Stockroom Adjustable Yoke is just the thing for you. Because of the overall quality of it, it’s fine to wear for as long as you need to wear it. The materials are easy to clean and feel as great as they look. The main issue is that the Stockroom Adjustable Yoke doesn’t come with any locks or snap hooks to fasten the actual wrist straps or collar, rendering the whole thing a little bit pointless. The locks/snap hooks are sold separately, and while they don’t cost much, you would think that they would be included with the yolk itself!

Find something you're both comfortable using!
Not everyone has the same experience level when it comes to bondage yokes. Finding something that suits both you AND your partner is essential to having good BDSM bondage fun!
Make sure you get their informed consent!
Before strapping your partner into the bondage yoke, make sure that you talk with them and you both understand what is about to happen. You both need to know what you’re getting into and what kind of thing to expect. It’s pretty vital that you’re both on the same page!
Establish a safeword!
As we’re sure you can imagine, being in a bondage yoke for quite some time can get a little bit taxing and tiring – no matter how fun it is! So if you ever need to stop and take a break, you need to establish a safeword. THat is, a word that when spoken indicates that you need to stop and take a break. If you hear your partner calling out the safeword you need to stop whatever you’re doing straight away and take them out of the yoke!
Aftercare is important too!
Looking after your bondage yokes is important if you want to be able to use them time and time again. So after each and every use it’s important to check that everything is still working as it should be and there’s nothing that could cause any damage or harm. This is an easy enough task to do while cleaning up!
How to use bondage yokes
Bondage yokes look kind of scary and intimidating at first, don’t they! But they’re actually not that scary, and using them isn’t too tricky. But we’re going to go through a few of the main points, just in case you do have any questions about using your yoke.
Make sure your bondage yoke is good to go!
Before anyone gets strapped into the bondage yoke, it is important to ensure that the yoke is in perfect condition and good to go. Check everything is working, that you have all you need, and that there’s nothing that will cause any harm or damage. When you’re happy that everything looks good…it’s time to get to work!
Check that you're both on the same page!
It’s always a good idea to make sure you’re both on the same page regarding what’s going to be happening while using the yoke. Having that informed consent means you both understand what kind of thing you’re going to be getting up to, and agree that you both want to do it!
Attach the bondage yoke and have fun!
It’s time to get that bondage yoke strapped on! Make sure that you adjust it, so it’s comfortable for you (or your sub). It’s all about having fun and restricting their movements, but comfort is also a priority too. No one’s going to be that turned on if they are in pain or uncomfortable while wearing something! And don’t forget to have fun!
Know when to stop!
Understanding each other’s limits is essential when using bondage yokes. You both need to understand when enough is enough. That’s part of the reason why you need to establish a safety word and respect your partner’s decision if they choose to say it. It ensures that everything remains safe and fun, and that no one is pushed further than they want to go.

These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.

Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.
Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.
components
If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
