What is Rope Bondage

Japanese rope bondage, also known as ‘Shibari,’ is an ancient art form. Today, many people in the BDSM community practice Shibari to combine play, sex, and art. With a little bit of practice, anyone can learn the art of Shibari and even amplify their sexual experience as a couple or in a group setting.

Bondage itself can allow you to embrace new feelings of pleasure. Shibari bondage gives you the freedom to be as creative as you would like. The different types of sensations you can feel are left to your imagination. You can place knots over sensitive areas of the body or have a partner touch or pull on the Shibari rope a certain way. If you are looking to take your experience to another level, you can even add sex toys to shibari bondage for more pleasure.

Using Sex Toys with Bondage

Adding toys can bring a whole new level of fun and even more pleasure to Shibari. Each toy has a purpose and brings more creative ways you can express yourselves. Masks, blindfolds, and gags are great at depriving senses, whereas ticklers, paddles, and whips are all about amplifying senses and provoking sexual energy. Using these toys with bondage allows partners and groups to further enjoy the experience.

Our Recommended Sex Toys for Bondage

• Handcuffs, Ties, and Restraints

  These are a great beginner set of toys that you can start using in Bondage and Shibari. Adding more restraints like handcuffs to the shibari rope can provide you with different ways to restrain someone and adds an aesthetic element as well. If you’re looking for handcuffs that match the ties you’re using in Shibari, many companies sell bondage sets. Remember to check customer reviews to see that both ties and handcuffs are comfortable!

• Masks, Blindfolds, and Gags 

  These sex tools are all about deprivation. Reducing certain senses makes it so that you are more in touch with other sensations, which adds to the bondage experience. After tying someone, you can use any of these bondage toys as accessories. These sex toys are a great complement to ticklers, paddles, and whips. Blinding or gagging someone adds an extra level of surprise to the partner who is being whipped or tickled. For these types of sex toys, consider looking into silicon-based materials so that you can easily wash and clean them for hygienic use.

• Ticklers, Paddles, and Whips 

  Unlike deprivation tools, ticklers, paddles, and whips intensify sensations, arouse sexual states, and provoke desires. Ticklers can be used to tease and caress with the front or can be flicked for a soft sting. Paddles and whips can be used to spank and caress for a truly titillating experience. These sex toys are accessible for all people regardless of experience, and a great addition for any couple or group who is looking to take their bondage fun to the next level.

• Sex Swings 

  Sex swings add a whole new set of opportunities to bondage. When combined with Shibari, they can make certain sex positions easier or more extravagant. They are also great to spice up your bedroom sessions, and are generally aimed at more experienced bondage practitioners. When combined with Shibari, sex toys that allow you to swing may require a little more experience. If you’re new to bondage, you may want to try out the other sex toys to get acquainted. If you’re looking to take your bondage game to the next level, then hanging up a sex swing in the privacy of your own room opens the door to a lot more play.

• Sex Machines 

  Sex machines and toys provide more direct pleasure and can be used by the individual being tied or the tyer. Sex machines are available for both men and women and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some designs, like the Velvet Thruster, deliver penetrating pleasure while solo or with a partner. It’s a handheld rechargeable toy, useful for those who are practicing Shibari with higher tension ropes.

We have a collection of penetrating pleasure machines to add to the Shibari experience. The toys can be used during Bondage to maximize pleasure while being restrained. Because they are handheld and rechargeable, they are easy to work with. All of the models in the Thruster collection are made with body-safe medical-grade silicone, making it safe and easy to wash for future use.
