Updated: Oct 29
Bondage tape is a kink everyone will enjoy
BDSM bondage tape is one of those kink accessories that can sometimes be overlooked, but it deserves a little more attention! Simple, versatile and easy to incorporate into your play, bondage tape can be a fantastic addition to your collection of adult accessories. Whether you are looking to try something new or add variety to your existing sessions, it offers an accessible way to explore restraint and the excitement that can come with it.
One of the biggest advantages of sex bondage tape is that it can appeal to people with different levels of experience. If you are a beginner curious about restraint, it can be an approachable way to start exploring the idea without immediately investing in more complicated equipment. For experienced BDSM enthusiasts, it can also offer another option to experiment with and incorporate into their preferred styles of play.
Bondage tape is designed specifically for this type of use, with many varieties sticking to themselves rather than directly to the skin. This can make it convenient to apply and remove, depending on the product and how it is used. As with any restraint accessory, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions, avoid wrapping tape tightly around the body or restricting circulation, and ensure that the person wearing it can be released quickly.
Whether you are simply curious about BDSM or already know that you enjoy exploring restraint, bondage tape can be an interesting accessory to consider. The key is to communicate with your partner, establish boundaries and choose an approach that feels comfortable for everyone involved.
What is bondage sex tape?
When you hear the word tape, you probably think of something you would pick up at a hardware or stationery store. However, BDSM bondage tape is quite different from your everyday sticky tape. Although it may look similar to colourful duct tape, it has a special design that makes it suitable for restraint play.
Unlike ordinary adhesive tape, Bondage Tape does not rely on conventional glue to stick to surfaces. Instead, it is designed to adhere to itself when wrapped around itself, meaning it generally does not stick directly to the skin in the same way ordinary sticky tape does. This makes it a popular accessory for people interested in exploring bondage and restraint.
Typically made from a thin, flexible PVC-based material, Bondage Tape is designed to cling to itself, allowing it to be wrapped and secured without a traditional adhesive layer. Its flexibility makes it easy to handle, while its self-adhering properties help keep the tape in place when applied correctly. Available in different colours, it can also add a little variety to your collection of BDSM accessories.
Reasons why bondage tape is amazing:
It will not pull out hair or hurt the skin
It will not leave glue residue on anything
It is odourless therefore there is no gross scent or taste
You can reuse bondage tape
Sex tape comes in a wide assortment of colours
It is great for any water play
Ways to use bondage tape
Restraints – wrists
BDSM beginners are always told to get that cheap fuzzy handcuffs when starting out, which are fine but so predictable. But did you know that classic wrist binding can be much easier with tape because there is no pinching or chaffing. Just wrap the take a few times around your wrists and you are done. You will need to just apply a few more layers and you sub or bottom will not be able to wriggle out of their bindings. Another play technique would be binding their hands behind their backs or in whatever creative position your twisted kinky mind can come up with.
Restraints – ankles
Depending on how naughty or squirming your bottom is or how strong they are you might have to adjust how many layers/wraps you put around their ankles. There is also a trick, don’t bind your sub them with their ankles directly beside each other. Instead, move one foot slight behind/in front or above/below so the ankle bones are not pressing against each other as it can be uncomfortable.
Restraints – bind to household objects
There is attaching someone to a chair for interrogation or tickles. Remember since there is no glue, you do not have to worry about any finishing being ripped off or any residue left over so use your imagination. Here are some ideas; there are chairs, beds, stools, railings, door handles, table legs, poles etc. Or if you have always wanted to try spreader bars but have not got around to buying one then make your own. Get a smooth hard pole (get your mind out of the gutter we know what you are thinking of). Thing likes bamboo, metal or plastic poles and attach the wrists or ankles to is using your Bondage Tape to make a Spreader Bar.
Bondage tape gags
Since water does not affect the sex tape, it won’t pull out hair, and there is no taste or chemicals to swallow making it perfect for gags. It can go over the mouth while closed or through it while mouth is open. If it is an in the mouth gag, make sure any tape edges are not pressing against any soft areas, like the corners of the mouth. With any gaging, make sure you have a non-verbal safe word or action.
Bondage blindfolds
You can also get into sensory deprivation by taking away their sight. However, to be safe remember any wrapping around the eyes does not need to be tight. You are aiming for darkness or lack of sight, not tightness.
Pet play
We have seen puppy mitts that sell for a lot but did you know you can get the same, basic experience if your sub simply makes a loose fist or paw shape and you wrap it up in that shape. Remember, this wrapping should only be done on a bed or soft surface so there is less pressure or strain on the elbows and knees. So enjoy your sexy Pet Play a little more with this great adult accessory.
Mummification bondage
You might be thinking of the entire body being wrapped up and you are not wrong. It is about as bondage as you can get. However, you can also do partial mummification, where only the upper or lower half of the body is restrained. If you want to only wrap the lower half, get them to sit in a comfortable position and start from the feet or ankles and work your way up. If you want to do the upper half, sitting on a stool or on the floor is ideal.
Bondage tape clothing
Does anyone remember when duct tape clothing and accessories was a thing? Well, Bondage Tape is the next step up. You can make form-fitting clothing, and since you can get any colour under the rainbow, you will be able to create some amazing designs, skirts, stockings, tube tops, harnesses, shirts, dresses, undies etc.
If you plan to re-use your bondage tape, here are some important tape tips
If you plan to reuse your bondage tape, there are a few useful things to keep in mind to help maintain it and make your next session more comfortable. After use, you can gently clean away sweat and other residue using water, provided the manufacturer's instructions allow it. Let the tape dry completely before carefully rewinding it onto a roll for storage. Avoid putting it away while damp, as this can affect its condition.
Keep in mind that different types of bondage tape may have different levels of stretch. Some varieties are more flexible than others, which can make a difference if your submissive enjoys testing or gently pulling against their restraints. Always take the tape's elasticity into account when applying it, and never use it so tightly that it restricts circulation, movement or breathing. Follow the product instructions, as not every type of tape is designed for repeated use.
Another important consideration is heat and sweat. Bondage tape does not breathe like many fabrics, so covering large areas of the body can trap heat and moisture. Keep sessions appropriately short, check your partner's comfort regularly, and remove the tape immediately if they feel too hot, uncomfortable or unwell. Avoid wrapping tape around the neck, chest or other areas in a way that could interfere with breathing.
Safety should always come first. Keep suitable safety scissors within easy reach so you can cut the tape away quickly if necessary. Never leave a restrained person unattended, and make sure the tape can be removed without delay if something goes wrong.
Before starting, agree on a clear safe word and establish a non-verbal signal that can be used if speaking becomes difficult or impossible, such as when a gag is involved. Check in with your partner throughout the session, and never rely on a safe word alone when someone is restrained. With preparation, communication and the right precautions, bondage tape can be explored more comfortably and responsibly.
