Almost as many uses as duct tape
Great product. Love that its super versatile and cheap, but I don't love that its hard to handle and tough as hell to get back on the roll.Published: August 15, 2011
Pros:
versatile, cheap, fun, doesn't rip out hair
Cons:
rolls up, and hard to put back on the roll
This tape is made of PVC and is about 2 inches wide...I tossed the package as soon as I got it, because I was so excited to play with it and by the time I realized I didn't know how many feet it was the packaging was long gone...WOOPS :) It comes in a simple cardboard and plastic top packaging that was super easy to open. You open the plastic and you could have it anywhere and it be mistaken for black tape.
So I opened my tape and proceeded to start playing. First off it kinda smells like when you first open a pool toy (I expected that it would have an odor given the material), but its not too strong. I licked a piece to see if it has any discernible taste... It does not. Don't you dare judge me for licking it either. I licked it while trying it out as a gag. I like the feel and it makes an excellent gag/mouth cover. Please don't mess with it if you are not familiar with the risks and the in's and out's of breath play.
I tested it out as a blindfold and it was great. You can pull it tight and it works much better than a regular blindfold. I does not stick to hair as advertised which is a major plus. I like to have my hair pulled, but being ripped out one little piece at a time is super painful and not in the fun way.
To use this as clothing I recommend you have another person help you. It is rather difficult to get the tape to lay flat when you are doing it yourself. The tape rolls up big time. I almost couldn't get my boobs bound by myself and then I had to go over them again. My butt...well I'm not going to be wearing a PVC tape skirt any time soon. It would work perfectly, but one I am not a fan of skirts and two I really don't want to see how much PVC tape it takes just to cover my ass :) It does feel really cool on though. I would imagine this would be best used as a fun way to dress up sexy at home. I sure as hell don't have the balls to wear just tape as an outfit, but I know there are some people out there that do.
As for its main purpose as a type of bondage restraint...It is excellent. It is very strong and can take a lot of pulling. The tape does bunch when you pull on it so I would be careful about pulling too hard if. It can be painful on the extremity that is bound and if you don't like a little pain that would potentially be unpleasant. The tape is really soft though so I found the sensation pleasant. There are all sorts of possibilities with this really its up to your imagination. Tie a leg to the ceiling fan and watch her spin :) J/K about the ceiling fan, but really there are so many different ways that you can incorporate this into even vanilla naughty time.
Its supposed to be reusable...Honestly it's a pain in the ass to roll it back on to the roll. I haven't reused tape that I used already. I know that awful and so wasteful and I really cant get that crap back on the roll. I didn't throw it away just kinda kept it stashed in my "adult" drawer.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
It really was fun for a change up, but not something that I would use all the time. Honestly I dont even think about using this anymore. I usually just grab my rope. It was a fun thing, but only on a rare occasion. Way to much hassle to use all the time.

Bondage Beginners

For beginners, would you recommend tape or some type of rope? How difficult is it to break free?
-
Quote: For beginners, would you recommend tape or some type of rope? How difficult is it to break free?I do not recommend rope for beginners. Two reasons. ONE: There is an art to finding "the right rope" since you are basically adapting an industrial use tool (rope) to sensitive, nude humans. Abrasions, allergic reactions, etc are the very least of your concerns. Which leads us to TWO: Rope Bondage requires skill. Not just to make pretty knots. It requires an awareness of anatomy so you know what parts of the body you are restricting blood flow from and what muscles/bones/ligament s are at risk when you force someone into an "unnatural" position or redistribute their weight. I know people who have long term injuries from inexperienced tops. Chronic pain, etc. What do you know about the circulatory system in general and this bottom's specifically? Buy some books, take a class. Buy Jay Wiseman's bondage for beginners videos. You wouldn't fly a plane without a lesson. Don't fly a lover with less care.
Tape obviously has less of the above issues because it adheres and therefore doesn't have to be overly tight to be restrictive. It moves with the person and is more likely to remove body hair than abraid or "cut" the victim. But beware of latex allergies and similar to saran wrap mummification, you still have to watch for circulation (and in the case of mummification or excessive taping --overheating) and the dangers from being stuck in one position (does your bottom have diabetes, hypoglycemia, problems that might cause clotting?) Longer bondage requires you to reposition the bottom. Check the extremities constantly. Fingers, toes, etc. Are they cold? Discolored? No one bound should ever be left unattended. NOT EVER. If you like the tie them up and walk out mind fuck, then put them in a blindfold and tell them you're going shopping, slam the door and sit down and read a book. But check on them frequently. Keep him/her in your line of sight. -
Quote: For beginners, would you recommend tape or some type of rope? How difficult is it to break free?As to the second part of the question: People tend to wriggle free rather than break free. So the difficulty depends on the flexibility and persistence of the submissive as well as the tension/strength of the bondage material. Tighter bonds do give less room for manipulative fingers but at the cost of shorter play time. I think it's fun to let them try and when they are close to escape, out comes the duct tape and reapply. Or actually let them "break free" enough to get good blood flow and mobility going and then retape them in a new position. Leather cuffs are the easiest to escape and are more for weight and psychological bondage than effective restraint. For safe effective bondage consider hospital restraints or straightjackets.

How long will a roll last?
-
The tape is actually reusable provided that you cut a length that you intend to reuse. It will get dirty after a while so we typically get through a couple of uses before throwing it away. It can also be a bit of a hassle to re-roll up. So, if you don't want to, I suppose it'll last at least a half a dozen sessions if you only wrap hands and feet. How many times you wrap around for tightness will also eat up part of the roll faster.

Quote: How long will a roll last?If you reuse it, it has the potential to last forever. I've been blatantly abusing a strip or two so I can write a really accurate review of it after a few more serious tests. x'D
And it's so darn shiny...I keep staring at it just because I love the look of it. ^_^

Bondage Tape

This is my favorite bedroom toy! It lasts forever and can be made into almost anything - restraints, a c-sheath, even a decorative outfit.
I'm not too sure on the claims it can be reused...it *can* be, but the work to untangle and then wash it isn't really worth it in my opinion...it's a really inexpensive toy so I just get another roll.
Word to the wise, it's always a safe move to keep blunt-edge safety scissors nearby when doing any sort of erotic wrapping...it allows for an easy exit if your wrapp-ee needs a bathroom break or gets uncomfortable. :) -

Less work, and way more fun! And I second the need for scissors near the bed, as when you first unroll the tape it can be ripped but once you start moving around a bit, the tape become folded in on itself some, and makes it impossible to rip!

I'm totally with you on this...it's an amazing product, even for those more experienced in bondage and fetish because its so affordable and easy to use. I tried reusing it ONCE though and it was a tangled, stuck-to-itself mess!
