The 7 Best Sub Collars for Fetishes and Fashion

This submissive collar and leash combo offers a great value, costing less than $20 yet offering adjustability, high-quality materials, and durable construction. The faux leather requires zero maintenance, and—despite being made from synthetic materials—is gentle on skin, which prevents users from needing to deal with unwanted irritations or rashes like you might get from a lesser-quality material. Like many BDSM items, your only color option is black, but this is a fairly standard limitation. While the collar is adjustable, it’s better suited to those with thicker necks, whereas those with thin necks may need to make slight modifications in order to place the collar securely around their necks. It would be nice if they offered this combination in two different sizes so these types of modifications weren’t necessary, but we still think this combo is easily worth the $20 price tag nonetheless.

When you’re getting both a collar and a set of nipple clamps for such a low price, it’s fair to assume that some corners have been cut. If that’s what you were thinking, then good news: you’re correct! The collar is made of velcro, so while it’s very easy to use and adjust, it is quite cheap, both in terms of material and in terms of looks. However, the included nipple clamps are fairly decent quality, allowing the user to adjust each one individually for the perfect fit. True, you can certainly find combos like this one that are made of much higher-grade materials, but considering the low price that this set is available for, we think the level of quality is more than acceptable and would recommend this to anyone wanting to expand their BDSM equipment collection on a budget.

This sub collar claims to be adjustable from 12.5 inches to 18 inches, but the user experience tells us another story. Still, there’s no doubt that the collar itself is adjustable, although you might find it to be extra tight (or very loose) if you yourself measure near one of these extremes. This can be especially problematic if you have a smaller neck since the collar lacks any loop to contain the extra collar length (like you would find on a belt). This means you’ll have the collar length hanging off of the side of your neck, which is somewhat unsightly. This is a shame because adding a loop would have been fairly easy, yet this detail has been overlooked. The design might have some flaws, but thankfully the materials used are very good, which is why we still recommend this collar for those with an average-sized neck who want a genuine leather sub collar.

Priced at approximately $25, your expectations might be low for this item. These expectations may or may not be accurate! Unfortunately, quality control appears to be an issue when it comes to this Collar-and-Wrist Restraint, but thankfully, only a small number of people will have this issue. If you’re in the majority, the product you receive will give you a lot of bang for your buck! Comfortable to wear yet completely restrictive, this restraint can be used in front of or behind the body, binding the arms together and further limiting their movement with a strap that’s attached to the collar. While it may not be the most “sexy” looking item around, it will do the job for your average couple, and you’d be hard-pressed to find an item with similar potential in the same price range, so this gets two thumbs up from us!

If you and your partner are looking for a way to combine a sub collar with nipple and labia clamps then this is surely a great way to do it! Stainless steel and genuine leather come together to make this great setup, leaving your wallet $55 lighter but your partner much happier. The clamps themselves—due to the nature of the design—can be a bit challenging to get just right, but they are completely adjustable so you’re sure to get it with some minor tweaking. As noted above, the leather might discolor your neck during the first few uses, but this won’t be an issue after it’s been worn multiple times. Considering how many clamps you get for the price (plus the materials used to make this item), we definitely think it’s worth considering for more experienced BDSM enthusiasts.

This collar lacks any type of interior padding, which could be a plus or a minus depending on how you look at it. On the plus side, it will get steadily more uncomfortable to wear over time, which could be a fun way to mess with your sub. On the other hand, if you’re wearing it primarily as a fashion statement, this could become an inconvenience. Nonetheless, this collar is made from real leather, can be adjusted, and uses a buckle-less design to prevent it from pulling on your hair. The price isn’t cheap, but we do think it’s fair, so we’d recommend this to those who want to add a bit of cute to their kink!

The visual appearance of this sub collar makes it the perfect option for women with a submissive man: black is the best color for a male sub collar! Of course, this collar can be enjoyed by anyone—regardless of their gender—but people with a nickel allergy might want to steer clear of this one. The collar uses a variety of mid and high-grade metals including nickel plating, zinc, brass, and steel in its construction. Considering the price point, this is pretty disappointing. While we understand that vegan items often cost more, why cheap out on the metal(s) used? Still, if you’re not allergic to nickel, this collar is a good buy, offering a classic look with a durable design, but the allergic potential of this collar can’t be ignored.
