Before we get on to this, take a look below at some of our most popular physical restraints based on what our customers have bought in the past.

How To Use Physical Restraints

Below is a list of some of the different types of  physical restraints, and how you can use them, as well as the best restraint in that category.

Bondage Cuffs

Bondage cuffs are some of the most popular types of restraints. Many people may start off with using a scarf to bind their partners legs and arms, but sometimes it is easier, and more secure to use specifically designed bondage gear to restrain them. There are two main types of bondage cuffs, below we talk about the types and how best to use them.

Wrist Restraints

Wrist restraints are a type of bondage cuff that are designed to restrain your partners wrists and hands. Wrist cuffs are usually joined together by a chain or a double trigger hook. This prevents your partner from opening their wrists fully. It also allows for you to attach these restraints to a bed rail or somewhere else to prevent them from moving.

Wrist restraints are very easy to use and require your partner to place their wrist in the middle whilst you wrap their wrist up. Then simply put the binder through the prong and seal your partner in. Make sure they feel comfortable and that the wrist restraint is not too tight.

Our best wrist restraints are the Bound to Please Silicone Universal Cuffs. These bondage cuffs are made from high quality silicone that does not rub against the skin. These bondage cuffs are joined together by a chain that features two detachable triggers. They also feature pad-lockable buckle prongs for extra security.

Ankle Restraints

Ankle restraints are a type of bondage cuff that are designed to restrict movement of your partners legs by attaching them to the ankles. Ankle restraints are also sometimes called legcuffs. They are usually joined together by a chain or a double trigger clip, however sometimes may be joined by a metal bar, this is called a spreader bar.

Ankle restraints are very easy to use and would just require you to warp the restraint around your partners ankles, fasten it, and then put a padlock around it if you so choose. Remember to check that they are comfortable and not too tight for your partner.

Our best ankle restraints are the Bound Nubuck Leather Ankle Restraints. These are incredibly well made leather bondage cuffs. They are padded for additional comfort and feature a pad-lockable buckle prong for security. They also feature two pairs of D-rings so you can add additional bondage accessories if needs be.

Bondage Tape

Bondage tape is a piece of bondage equipment that is designed to physically restrain your partner quickly and easily. Bondage tape is designed to stick to itself and not the skin nor clothes. This means that it shouldn?t rub or leave any unwanted marks. Another huge benefit of bondage tape is that you can use it to make custom and improvised fetish clothing.

Bondage tape is also very easy to use. You can use it by restraining your partner and then tying them up in anyway you deem necessary. Simply stick the bondage tape to more bondage tape for a secure fit. Make sure to check with your partner that it is not too tight and keep checking to make sure that they are comfortable.

Our best bondage tape is the Bound to Please Black Bondage Tape. This is a 20 meter role of bondage tape that is perfect for quickly restraining your partner. This bondage tape is made from strong PVC and is re-usable!

Chastity Belts

Chastity belts are a piece of bondage gear that is designed to restrain your intimate areas. This may be for women, or for men. Male chastity devices are usually known as chastity cages, penis cages or chastity tubes. They are usually designed to follow the flaccid shape of a penis. They can be made from a strong plastic, silicone, or a metal like stainless steel.

Male chastity devices are very straight forward and easy to use. To begin with you will need to examine the cage, and in particular, the cages rings. If the ring is solid then you will need to push your balls and your flaccid penis through the ring. Or if the ring features a hinge put it behind your scrotum and close it around your penis and balls. Then slide the cock cage over your penis, and attach it to the ring, and then padlock it, preventing it from falling off.

Our best chastity device is the Impound Gladiator Male Chastity Device. This male sex toy features an open, gladiator like design that will imprison your member. It is made from metal, ensuring that you won?t be able to escape. Furthermore this cock cage comes with three different sized base rings allowing for a customized and comfortable fit.

Hogtie

In bondage a hogtie is a position where you would restrain the wrist and ankles of a submissive behind their back. You can do this with other bondage equipment like bondage rope, however there are specifically designed types of bondage gear to aid you to do this.

Using a hogtie set or kit is very straight forward and would just require you laying your partner on their front, and then bringing their hands and legs together behind their back. Once they are in this position you can then fasten them in to the different restraints in the kit. Alternatively you may choose to use bondage rope, creating your own hogtie.

Our best hog tie is the Loving Joy Hogtie Kit. This hog tie kit is perfect for beginners and allows for quick and easy restraint of your partner. This hogtie kit features four cuffs, two ankle, and two wrists. They feature Velcro straps for easy fastening as well as quick release.
