Epic restraint - even for bondage newbies!
I believe this is a great product for anyone looking for simple, affordable restraint that works. It's comfortable and will definitely get the job done. The only issue I've ever had with the tape is sometimes having to pull the tape apart when I accidentally bunch it up. It's not a big frustration as long as you remember to wrap it back up when you're done!Published: February 6, 2011
Pros:
Strong
Does not stick to skin
Easy to use

Cons:
Can take a while to wrap it back up
Bondage tape is exactly what it sounds like, only minus the screaming agony of tearing sticky tape off of your flesh. No, this tape is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and will only stick to itself, which is fantastic news for those of us who can't tie knots to save our lives. Wrap it a few times around a body part (ex: wrist, ankle) and wish your partner luck in getting it off. Seriously, I've tried! I usually have it wrapped a few times (make sure to overlap the tape. About 3 or more wraps should do it, and more ensures a stronger hold) around my wrists, and I can't get out unless I can somehow find a bit of loose tape. It's very gentle and won't rub your skin raw.
And it's not only for bondage - you can use it as a blindfold, gag, and even as a unique, sexy outfit! But ladies, if you plan on wearing the tape, for the love of god put something (tissue, cloth) between your crotch and the tape. Your labia could stick to the tape and that would be BAD. Trust me, removing that tape once it was stuck was a world of "OW WTF." But that being said, the tape is harmless everywhere else. Skin, hair, lips, you name it. Just not the crotch!
The roll comes with plenty of tape, and the tape is REUSABLE! I haven't thrown away a bit of mine, and I've had it for over a year now. The roll is about 66 feet which is the perfect amount if you ever decide to cosplay as a mummy. Well, scratch that, the tape doesn't come in white. But trust me, there's plenty of tape. I've had wrists and ankles tied, as well as a blindfold with this, and there was still plenty left.
If you ever decide to clean the tape, it can be cleaned with soap and water or regular sex toy cleaner. Also, a suggestion: When you put the tape away, try and wrap it back around the cardboard roll so that it's easier to access next time you want to play. This tape sticks to itself well, and it's very difficult to be sexy when trying to unwrap a pile of disorganized tape.

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!
