Testing and rating the best light bondage kits
If you want a fun and exciting introduction into the world of BDSM then you’re going to want to get hold of a light bondage kit. I found 9 of the absolute best out there, studying their many pros and cons to provide a balanced and unbiased review of each.
I spent over 60 hours making sure that the information I provided was accurate, up to date, and truthful, because I know how tricky it can be to find the right light bondage kit for you!
I also made sure to look at the how beginner friendly the kit really is, how many items you get for the price, as well as which activities you can explore.
What can you find in a light bondage kit?
A light bondage kit consists of quite a few different little bits and pieces. So let’s take a look at what is in a light beginner kit and what they do!
- BDSM Blindfold – They take away your sense of sight, leaving you in the dark and unaware of what new and unexpected sensation is going to come next. Blindfolds really heighten those other senses and in turn the whole experience!
- Handcuffs – There’s nothing quite like the helpless feeling of being handcuffed. You are unable to move your arms, and you’re at the mercy of someone else. It’s all down to your partner to provide your pleasure!
- Restraints – Being held down and tied up makes you feel vulnerable and exposed. Often light bondage kits will come with velcro restraints as the
- Tickler – BDSM isn’t all about inflicting pain, it’s also about inflicting pleasure! Bondage ticklers are soft and light and will tease those parts of your body that absolutely love that kind of attention. A real treat before things get harsher!
- Breathable ball gag – Sometimes your partner might want to keep you quiet, and here’s where the breathable ball gag comes in. It goes in your mouth and straps around the back of your head, leaving you unable to speak, while still being able to breathe.
- Butt plug – Going in your butt and giving you that full feeling while also stretching out that tight little hole, butt plugs are a favorite among BDSM lovers. They are great little toys for training your butt to take something even bigger!
- Soft bondage rope – This kind of rope is perfect for a whole range of different things. From tying someone to the bed, restraining their arms, strapping them to a chair, whatever you might want to do, soft bondage rope is strong and durable while feeling nice and soft.
Reviews of the 9 best light bondages
Test Winner Sportsheets Beginner's Bondage Fantasy Kit
I’ve crowned the Sportsheets Beginner’s Bondage Fantasy Kit as the best light bondage kit because it delivers quality and functionality!
It features 4 velcro restraints that you can use to restrain your partner’s wrists and ankles anywhere you can tie them. It also comes with a soft blindfold to add an element of anticipation and allow them to focus on their sensory experience.
I love that the cuffs are adjustable and they are lined with soft, velvety material for a soft, sensual bondage experience.
Pros
- ✅ Great value
- ✅ Unintimidating
- ✅ Can be tied to any furniture
- ✅ Soft and comfortable to wear
Cons
- ❌ Won't withstand a lot of tugging
- ❌ Blindfold not the highest quality
Verdict
The Sportsheeets Beginner’s Bondage Fantasy Kit really is a great introduction to light bondage. The velcro makes it quick and easy to apply the restraints and it’s less intimidating than having buckles.
They aren’t the sturdiest restraints, so they really are only suited to light bondage but that’s exactly what they are made for!
It’s also great one of the cheaper light bondage kits in the review, making it great value for money.

- Want to ease in to bondage
- Are interested in wrist and ankle restraint

Cheapest Lovehoney Oh! Get Started Tie & Tease Kit
This set takes things back to basic – but don’t confuse basic with boring. Its ease of use and overall simplicity appeals to beginners exploring light bondage play, but the opportunities for fun are endless with this set.
As the name suggests, the aim of this kit is to tie & tease your partner, and with the addition of a super soft feather tickler, the teasing part comes naturally. And if you’re looking to stimulate your senses even more, why not try out the included satin eye mask? It pairs nicely with the tickler and sumptuously silky soft bondage restraints. But despite being soft, the restraints will still hold you or your partner firmly in place, allowing for total submission or dominance.
The choice is yours – either use each item in isolation or combine together for a more intense experience.
Pros
- ✅ Perfect for bondage beginners
- ✅ It's super affordable
- ✅ Compact and easy to store away
- ✅ Comes with three pieces for versatile play
Cons
- ❌ Too tame for hardcore bondage lovers
- ❌ The materials feel a little cheap
- ❌ Bondage straps don't attach to furniture
- ❌ Feather tickler is on the small side
Verdict
If you’re a bondage beginner then this is the bondage gear for you. Perfect for those who prefer a lighter touch, the set’s sumptuous silk materials will have you shaking with joy. Furthermore, this set is extremely budget-friendly, so if you’re unsure as to whether bondage is your thing or not, why not try it out with a toy which won’t break the bank?
It’s kind of in the name, but this set is designed for those who like to tease or be teased. Combining the silky soft eye mask with the tantalising feather tickler will have your senses on fire, without pushing your boundaries too far.
However, the simplicity of this set makes it likely to underwhelm those who are more experienced in the art of bondage. In addition to this, the low price unfortunately equates to a slightly lower quality – you get what you pay for after all.
Buy, if you...
- Want to explore power play
- Are on a budget
- Wish to ease yourself into bondage
- Love to be blindfolded and teased
Don't buy, if you...
- Prefer more hardcore bondage

Sexy Submissive Bondage Kit by Sportsheets

With 4 bondage straps included, each of which features a cuff to go around either the wrist or ankle, the opportunities for play are endless. The straps/cuffs can be attached to the bed, or to each other, so this bondage toy is perfect if you like having your ankles/wrists tied together.

Bondage Boutique Metallic Fantasy Bondage Kit (3 Piece)
The Bondage Boutique lite kit is comprised of three simple but effective parts. One part is the eye mask, designed to shock your senses and elevate your play. The second piece is the wrist (or ankle) cuffs, connected by a strong metal chain for optimum restraint. The third is the silicone ball gag for a bit more adventurous fun.
Both the eye mask and the cuffs are lined with sensually soft faux-fur to engage your animal instincts – the perfect soothing material for a bondage beginner.
The thing that sets this light bondage kit apart for me it the blue metallic finish that adds a pop of fun color.
Pros
- ✅ Interesting and unique design
- ✅ High quality faux-fur lining
- ✅ 3 pieces for a great price
- ✅ Addition of extra kinky metal chain
Cons
- ❌ Only 2 cuffs included
- ❌ Metal chain is a little short
- ❌ Doesn't attach to furniture
Verdict
I think this is great light bondage kit for those who are interested in moving up a little from complete beginners bondage. The mask and restraints are super beginner friendly and the ball gag adds a step up for some more intense play.
I love the unique metallic mint colour of the set and find the faux-fur lining spine-tinglingly soft, with the eye mask adding an extra stroke of sexy.
Buy, if you...
- Don't want to splash the cash
- Like being put in handcuffs
- Aren't looking for intense bondage
- Love being blindfolded
Don't buy, if you...
- Are more into BDSM than bondage
- Want to be tied down to the bed
- Love having your ankles and wrists tied up

Bed restraints Fifty Shades of Grey Hard Limits Bed Restraint Kit
The Fifty Shades of Grey hard limits bed restraint kit was built for bondage beginners, but it still packs a punch as a premium product.
It’s a light bondage kit, comprised of 4 padded cuffs to be used on your or your partner’s wrists or ankles. But the versatility doesn’t end there. With an adjustable bed strap system that attaches to any size bed, the opportunities are endless with this light bondage gear.
Plus, it’s super soft on the skin, with the cuff attachments made of a sensual silk material – perfect for those who desire a lighter touch. Quality light bondage play comes at a cost, however, and this particular kit sits at the higher end of the price scale.
Pros
- ✅ The straps are adjustable
- ✅ The kit is strong, but soft
- ✅ Folds away for easy storage/transport
- ✅ Comes with an eye mask for added fun
- ✅ Fits most mattress sizes
Cons
- ❌ Pricey
- ❌ Velcro restraints can come undone
- ❌ Under bed strap isn't adjustable
- ❌ Sliver design won't suit all tastes
Verdict
This light bondage kit is perfect for those who are only just dipping their toes in the pool of BDSM and bondage. Its adjustability makes it super accessible, perfect for all shapes and sizes, and suitable for use with all kinds of furniture, opening up a plethora of playful opportunities – why limit things to the bedroom?
Despite taking a stroke of careful concentration to set up, you and your partner will be thrilled with the result when the gear is set up, and you can leave it attached to your bed for easy future use. Furthermore, the bondage kit can be easily packed away into nothing, so discretion won’t be an issue – whether you’re at home or on the move.
I love the added feature of a silk eye mask, but bear in mind that the mask is not adjustable, therefore may not be fit for use for all customers. I think it’s also a bit the expensive side, but such a price is expected from a kit as high quality as this one.
Buy, if you...
- Want to explore bed restraint
- Prefer velcro cuffs
- Want to explore bondage and sensation play
Don't buy, if you...
- Are looking for a cheap option
- Need more heavy duty restraints
- Prefer a plain, black design
OUCH! Introductory Bondage Kit #5
We may be on the topic of light bondage, but once you dip your toe into this pool, you’ll likely want more and more, which is where the OUCH! Introductory Bondage Kit comes in handy. It comes with an impressive 5 parts, consisting of: a 10 meter silk Japanese rope, a breathable ball gag, a spanking paddle, a satin eye mask, and a jeweled anal plug. Wowzers.
This product really packs a punch and has all bases covered…so long as you can figure out how to use the Japanese rope! We recommend tying your partner up with the Shibari or Kinbaku style, so beware beginners – this set may take a little patience to use.
Pros
- ✅ Comes with 5 different pieces
- ✅ The rope can be tied any way
- ✅ Red or black set available
- ✅ You can intensify your bondage play
Cons
- ❌ Not for beginners
- ❌ Some parts may be unnecessary

Verdict
We’ve taken things up a notch with this product, which is perhaps the kinkiest mild bondage kit on the market. There’s a lot to love about this toy, and with so many goodies included, you and your partner can enjoy hours of fun together (otherwise known as bonding time!)
There’s a little something for everyone with the OUCH! set – whether you’re into submission/dominance or soft/hard play. Plus, the versatility of this kit is not limited to bondage alone. If you fancy a bit of anal stimulation, sensory depravation, gagging or spanking without the bondage element, then this kit will ensure you have all the necessary tools.
Just be aware that a premium product like this one does come at a slightly higher price.
Buy, if you...
- Have tried (and enjoyed) bondage before
- Are into anal play
- Like being gagged
- Love getting spanked
Don't buy, if you...
- Don't like BDSM

Bondage Boutique Midnight Special Gift Set (5 Piece)
The Bondage Boutique Midnight Special set is sort of a one-of-a-kind. It has an old-school vintage design that will transport you straight back to the sexiest of all times – the Victorian era, of course.
With a rope, a rubber flogger, a lacy eye mask, a pair of bow-topped nipple pasties, and a pair of fantastically frilly handcuffs included, you’re not going to run out of ways to please your partner with this set. It’s beginner friendly and the perfect way to welcome a spot of role play into your bedroom, and it looks great.
Pros
- ✅ It's perfect for bondage beginners
- ✅ It's super affordable
- ✅ The design is tantalisingly unique
- ✅ Comes with 5 products included
Cons
- ❌ The cuffs are a little loose
- ❌ You need to tie the rope yourself
- ❌ The restraint is a little weak
- ❌ The flogger is on the small side
Verdict
If you’re looking to inject a little fantasy into your bedroom, then this is the perfect light bondage set for you and your partner. BUT, be warned – there is an emphasis on the light here. Whilst the toys which accompany the set are a little naughtier, the bondage materials themselves are pretty weak and can only tolerate a certain level of tension.
But despite saying this, The Bondage Boutique Midnight set is the perfect product for bondage beginners. Its restraints aren’t intimidating and you only have to use the toys if you want to.
All this at such a reasonable price? It would be rude not to.
Buy, if you...
- Want to experiment with bondage
- Know how to tie a knot
- Have a taste for all things vintage
- Like being spanked
Don't buy, if you...
- Can't tie knots
- Are looking for hardcore restraint

Rianne S Kinky Me Softly
The Kinky Me Softly from Rianne S is a light bondage kit that comes packaged in a stylish bag for fun at home or on the go!
Open up the bag to reveal a selection of restraints and sensation play tools, including wrist and ankle cuffs, a hogtie/ cross strap, feather tickler, nipple clamps, blindfold, and a flogger.
Pros
- ✅ 7 piece kit
- ✅ Great price
- ✅ Light bondage and sensation play
- ✅ Stylish storage bag
Cons
- ❌ Not the highest quality
- ❌ Sensation play toys are quite small
Verdict
I really like that this is a very beginner-friendly light bondage kit that comes with a lot of things to try. The bag is also a really fun touch. However, I would say the quality isn’t the highest and the sensation play toys are a little on the small and flimsy side.
I would say that the black set has a nicer design than the purple but that really comes down to personal choice.
Buy, if you...
- Want a more complete light bondage set
- Need a travel-friendly kit
- Prefer a more delicate design
- Are interested in sensation play
- Want a choice of colors
Don't buy, if you...
- Are looking for bondage only
- Want velcro restraints
- Need more sturdy restraints

What Makes Light Bondage 'Light'?
Bondage is a scary word, often associated with its even scarier sounding sibling, BDSM. But in truth, there’s nothing scary about light bondage…unless that’s what you’re into.
What is light bondage?
Light bondage can be whatever you want it to be, but it essentially involves the introduction of power play and BDSM methods (such as restraint, sensory deprivation, teasing) without pushing your boundaries to the max.
Why try light bondage?
Light bondage is a great place for beginners to start, as you set your own limits, making it as ‘light’ or ‘heavy’ as you are comfortable with. But it’s not just for beginners! It can be a great way to switch up the pace and give your love life some variation.
The gateway to BDSM?
For many people, light bondage marks the beginning of a journey deep into the world of BDSM. It offers a taste of power play which many find addictive, but not everyone. If you’re comfortable playing with light bondage, then there is no need to take things any further – it’s all about your boundaries, remember?
How to Bring Up Trying Light Bondage with Your Partner
Kink shaming is an all too frequent problem, stigmatizing things that should be honored and prohibiting people from fulfilling their desires. This means that the topic of bondage can be a semi-awkward one to bring up in the bedroom. But it shouldn’t be.
Be honest
Honesty is always the best policy…especially when it comes to bondage.
Empathy, understanding and patience are the key ingredients here – be clear with what you want and equally open to your partner’s desires.
Consent is key
The FRIES model is a useful one to follow here. The idea is that consent should be:
F – freely given
R – reversible
I – Informed
E – Enthusiastic
S – Specific
Boundaries make for better sex
Boundaries are important in any sexual endeavor, but even more so when you’re playing with bondage – no matter how light it may be.
Being clear with your’s and your partner’s boundaries is the key to safe and happy sex. Safewords are your saviours here.
FAQ
Light bondage
Light bondage is the perfect way to ease yourself into bondage, with kits typically consisting of some form of restraint, a mode of sensory deprivation and a toy intended to tease. It gives the user total freedom to adjust the intensity levels, but would likely be considered too mild for hardcore bondage lovers. Bondage lovers all have to start somewhere, right? This is a gentle and exciting introduction to the world of BDSM (or more specifically the 'bondage' portion of BDSM)! They are definitely less harsh than some of the more advanced kits, and allow you to explore at your own pace before working your way up to something a little more extreme!
