How did we test and review the thigh spreaders in this review?

From start to finish, our sex toy expert used their extensive knowledge to research and hunt out the best thigh spreaders out there for all levels of experience and budgets.

Each spreader was assessed on its overall quality and ease of use as well as which types of BDSM play it is best suited to. We also make sure to pay special attention to the length of the bar as you want to choose one that matches your level of flexibility!

Each thigh spreader gets a Bedbible score based on either our expert’s opinion or a testers evaluation and a user score, which is an average taken from all of the user reviews.

How did we test and review the thigh spreaders in this review?

What’s the difference between thigh spreaders and full spreader bars?

Both thigh spreaders and BDSM spreader bars can be used to hold your legs open and are worn by the submissive partner during BDSM play, but what are the differences?

Thigh Spreaders:

  • Restraints are worn around the thighs
  • Can be a bar or sling
  • Great for teasing
  • Not as versatile for penetrative sex
  • Easier to use for self bondage

Spreader Bars

  • Restraints worn around the ankles
  • Can come in adjustable versions
  • Sometimes have wrist restraints as well
  • More versatile for penetrative sex

FAQ

Are thigh spreaders beginner friendly?
Yes! Thigh spreaders can be beginner-friendly, but I would recommend going for a smaller bar and velcro restraints for a gentle introduction.
Are thigh spreaders only for partnered play?
Thigh spreaders tend to be used with a partner but they are also a good option for self bondage as they are easy to put on and take off by yourself.
Can anyone wear a thigh spreader?
Absolutely! Thigh spreaders can be worn by anyone with any genitals.

What is a thigh spreader?

A thigh spreader is a type of restraint used to hold the wearer's thighs open. It consists of a solid bar with thigh cuffs at either end. They are most commonly used during BDSM play and worn by the submissive partner, immobilising them and giving their partner access to their genitals.

Conclusion

The price and size make this a great introduction to thigh spreader bars. You get a decent stretch without feeling too overwhelmed and the velcro fastening isn’t as intense as being locked in. While this is well suited to beginners or light bondage, it won’t hold up to more heavy duty play and the restraints can slip out of place when you move too much.

Explore thigh restraint with a bit more freedom of movement with these soft wrist to thigh restraints from Bondage Boutique. The lack of bar lets you dip your toes into thigh spreading play without diving straight in!

These restraints are a great option for anyone totally new to bondage that want’s to explore thigh spreading but have more control over the position. As your thighs are attached to your wrists, you get to decide how wide you want to go. The velcro fastening also gives you peace of mind that you can get out if you want to. That being said, these wrist to thigh restraints probably won’t satisfy more advanced tastes. The lack of bar makes these easier to pack for fun on the go!

This design is best suited to penetrative partner play and can help you achieve deeper penetration. The main thing that lets this thigh spreader harness down is the sizing. The chest harness seems to be relatively big, meaning it will be loose on smaller bodies.

Conclusion

Unlike the other thigh spreaders in this review, this BDSM spreader bar attaches to your ankles to keep your legs splayed open. This design can make it easier to enjoy penetrative play as the bar is further out of the way. It’s well built and has a nice finish, especially if you are fan of Fifty Shades of Grey. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any wrist and ankle restraints, so you will either need to have some already or be prepared to buy some to use with it.
