Fantasy Tape: A Bondage Toybox Must-Have
Overall, this product provides exactly what it advertises: an inexpensive and effective way to bind someone without pain and with ease. It's a great product, in general, and a steal for this price. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone interested in bondage.Published: February 8, 2011
Pros:
Works wonderfully, doesn't stick, very strong, visually appealing, can reuse
Cons:
Creates some sweatiness
The product page advertises that this tape only sticks to itself and won't attach to skin or hair. It also says that it's comfortable and easy to use (and to take off). According to the page, the tape is made from PVC, and the tape is ultimately 66 feet long.
And, unlike many products that don't live up to their advertisements, this is all true.
This tape only sticks to itself.
Literally. If you want to attach it to something else (example: handcuffs), you have to tie some sort of knot or wrap the tape onto itself. The tape is really, really sticky and binds to itself really easily. Also, the stick is extremely strong. After my ankles and wrists were bound with the tape, I couldn't even begin to wiggle them free. At the same time, however, it didn't hurt at all.
It won't attach to skin or hair.
This is what makes the tape an absolute must-have. If you'd like to tie up your partner, go ahead. Wrap this tape around their wrists, ankles, and anything else. As long as you don't wrap it too tight, it won't hurt; and, most importantly, it will not stick when you try to take it off. This is great because cuffs of any sort can be very expensive, especially if you're looking for quality. This cheap product is a perfect substitute.
It's comfortable.
Like I said before, the only way that this tape is uncomfortable is if you tie it too tight. It doesn't stick to your skin or hair.
It's easy to use.
To use the tape, simply pull some off of the roll, cut or rip it when it's long enough, and wrap it wherever you'd like it to go. When you want to take it off, you can cut if off with scissors if you want it off immediately. If that's not the case (and the tape hasn't gotten too squished or messed up), you can try to unroll the tape. If it comes off, well . . . reuse it! That's one of my favorite things about this product: on top of everything else, you can use the same piece more than once.
The only con that I found is that the areas bound with the tape can get a bit sweaty. That isn't a deal-breaker for me though, considering that most things that you use to bind will create some sweatiness.

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!
