Bondage Kits: A Beginner’s Guide to BDSM Play

Find yourself fantasizing about being tied up and exploring your kinky side with the use of bondage kits?

You’re not alone in that. In fact, more and more couples are starting to experiment with the exciting and adventurous world of BDSM toys, which translates to bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism. One particular form, bondage play, is more popular among beginners. Something about being all tied up, blindfolded and helpless while receiving the ultimate in sexual pleasure - this just gets the juice all stirred up in most people! And this is why bondage kits are getting all the love and attention they rightfully deserve.

So if you’re new to this and have a hankering to dip your toes into this form of sexual gratification, here’s what you need to know:

What Is A Bondage Kit?

A bondage kit is a type of BDSM kit that generally includes pieces designed to restrain you while your partner does unspeakable pleasurable things to you.

And we don’t mean any ordinary rope or tape to tie you up. Bondage kits come with imaginative and creative pieces that add to the whole pleasurable experience such as silk ropes and scarves, velvet handcuffs and other restraints to cuff you in bed or hold you prisoner at the door, chair or whatever ingenious place you can think of. Depending on whether they’re for a beginner bondage kit or a more advanced one, these can also include toys to heighten your senses (blindfolds, feather ticklers, etc.) and bring you pleasurable pain (paddles, nipple clamps, etc.).

Keep in mind that buying individual sex toys or gear for bondage can be quite daunting for beginners, as you initially won’t know if they’ll work well together. So it’s more beneficial to purchase a bondage set that has everything you’ll need to get you started on your kinky play journey.

How To Use A Bondage Kit

First and foremost, you and your partner should discuss what’s going to happen so you’re both aware and in sync with how the BDSM experience will play out. It’s also always an absolute must to talk about the rules, what you both like and dislike, and most importantly, you must establish a safe word - and signal - so you both know when it’s time to stop the play.

A beginner bondage kit is typically composed of basic gear such as handcuffs and sex blindfolds that are designed to introduce you to BDSM play in a simple, uncomplicated yet highly pleasurable way.

This is also why it’s highly recommended to try out bondage kits instead of buying individual gears and toys, so you can be sure that your experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. It’s best to start out with a BDSM starter kit, then gradually add other gear and toys as you grow more and more comfortable with BDSM play.

Different Types Of BDSM Kits

A BDSM kit is available in different types that caters to every fetish and fantasy you can think of. But for now, here are the more general types:

Bondage Kits

Fulfill your fantasy of being tied up in lots of ways and places. Aside from being cuffed to the bedposts, there are bondage items designed to leave you strapped to the wall with your legs spread by a spreader bar, hogtied or have you suspended from the ceiling with straps and harnesses. These leave you exposed, helpless and unable to move, letting your partner have his/her delicious way with you.

A typical beginner bondage kit includes cuffs and bondage straps for restraining your wrists and ankles, connector straps and a soft blindfold. But if you’re hankering for more, there’s a myriad of bondage kits available with other toys bundled for the more adventurous types.

Sensory Deprivation Kits

In BDSM, getting deprived of one or more of your senses (sight, touch, hearing, sound) heightens your remaining senses and elevates your pleasures to a whole new intense level. Being tied up and unable to see what your partner’s next move is will definitely get you all riled up in excitement, while being encased in a cocoon of latex and unable to feel your lover’s touch will get you so frustrated and leave you wanting for release so bad that when it finally happens - you’ll be in heavenly ecstasy!

Items in a sensory deprivation BDSM starter kit usually include a blindfold, cuffs and feather ticklers while more advanced options include sex toys such as dildos and vibrators - the better to stimulate your other senses while being blindfolded! 

Physical & Sexual Stimulation Kits

Physical and sexual stimulation kits are designed to enhance your erotic gratification through intense physical sensations and pleasure that’s bordering on pain. As the saying goes, “there’s a thin line between pleasure and pain” and this fits the bill to a T. Imagine having your nipples clamped while lying spread-eagled and cuffed to the bed, being flogged while penetrated or spanked on your ass with a paddle - and this is as vanilla as it gets for this BDSM type. More advanced BDSM stimulation play includes electrosex (or e-stim) gear that delivers electric currents to erogenous parts of your body!

A stimulation BDSM starter kit can come with soft leather whips, padded paddles, canes, nipple clamps or anal plugs - all designed to bring out the most exquisite orgasms in your life!
