If you’re looking to get into some bondage play, you’ll need the right tools for the job. While your imagination is more than enough to create some naughty BDSM play, there are a few pieces of bondage gear that will help make your experience more comfortable and safer, as well as visually stimulating and kinky. Even if you have limited bondage knowledge, this article will give you plenty of ideas on how to explore the world of bondage with your partner(s).
What are leashes and leads?
Put simply, leashes are straps with clips on each end. Some leashes attach to collars; others attach to cuffs or belts. If you want a more playful look, there are many brightly colored leashes on the market. Otherwise, black is a safe bet if you want your BDSM gear to blend in at work or in public spaces like restaurants. Leashes come in two styles: one that attaches to a collar and another that attaches directly to a cuff or belt.
How to use leashes and leads?
So you've got your collar and your gag, but now what? How do you use leashes and leads to turn these BDSM accessories into tools of sexual pleasure? If your partner is wearing a collar, attach a leash to it. If you want more control over their movements than just pulling them along behind you or holding them steady in place, attach clips from bondage restraints to either end of their leash. Attach one clip to a D-ring on their wrists, one clip to a D-ring on their ankles (or both), then attach that entire restraint system to an anchor point so they can't move more than that distance apart.
A great pair of leashes can make all your kinky dreams come true. If you’re looking to explore pet play, make sure you have a good leash on hand. Leashes are not just for pets! They are often used in sexual practices such as bondage or sado-masochism, sometimes with horse whips or other floggers. You may also be interested in using a leash as a gag—if that's your desire, please be sure to purchase one designed specifically for gags and collars rather than those meant solely for animal use. Whatever reason you may want to use them, there are many options out there when it comes to leashes—you will no doubt find something that matches your style.
Leather Collar and Lead Set
This set is a great beginner's toolkit. The collar goes around your sub's neck, while an additional leather strap can be used to fasten cuffs or other devices in place. Alternatively, you can wrap it around your wrist or secure it with Velcro to enjoy a little leash play without anything too restrictive. The high-quality leather isn't going to make any noise during use either, which makes these ideal even if you live in close quarters with roommates or family members.
Pet Play
It’s kinky, sure, but there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun. Some folks love dressing up as their animal counterpart — either alone or with a partner — in an exploration of power and submission. Leashes and leads are great if you want to be in control during your animal role play. There’s something about putting on some leashes and taking on an animalistic persona that really turns people on. If you’re interested in exploring BDSM, then collars, leashes, gags, and other bondage accessories can help define roles in your fantasy realm.
Accessories
There are so many products out there that can be used to add bondage-like features to your leash or lead. From collars, to cuffs, to more intense gags like these lovely mouth gags, you’ll find an array of options that should suit any and all of your naughty pet play needs. Note: Some of these are sold individually while others are sold in pairs. Don’t forget about harnesses too! The bottom line: if you want it, there is probably a way to add it onto your leash or lead somehow!
