Bondage bar - spreader discontinued by Sportsheets - review by Daniel & Brittany

The Sportsheets bondage bar is a restraint play product designed to restrict movement of arms and legs. This is accomplished by cuffing both the wrists and ankles to a rigid bar. Granted you can strap down the wrists alone, or even the ankles alone. These ways will obviously allow far more movement than if you strap all four appendages at once.

Once you have your partner strapped in it's your game. They are basically stuck in the position you strapped them into. Move or roll them around into position or simply work with what you have while they remain still.

That's one of the best things about this bar; it's so multifunctional, the sky's the limit with what you can do. I would exceeded the word limit just attempting to elaborate on all the positions and uses we have found in a short time span.

This product is made of neoprene (the cuff lining), metal (the bars), and nylon (the covering for the bars and the main part of the cuffs).

The "Bondage Bar" actually has two rigid, yet flexible bars inside of it. The bars are 16" long and 3/4" wide each. Sewn into a thick nylon sheathing side by side (in separate "pouches", see picture below) to produce the almost 2" wide Bondage Bar you see on the box.

This, with the cuffs tightened more than you should ever need them to be, is 24" long overall. With the cuffs as loose as you should ever need its 28". It has four 2" wide and very soft neoprene lined nylon/velcro cuffs attached. Two cuffs are sewn very firmly to the two ends of the "Bar". And the other two sewn 2 1/2" in from the sides, and 9" apart from each other on the front of the bar. These cuffs have three 1" seams attaching them to the bar, so it's nothing that you will easily destroy.

The velcro on the cuffs is 1 1/2" wide 5" long strips (one strip per cuff) sewn firmly to the outside of the cuffs on one side. The other side is a 1 1/2" wide 5" long strap to connect to the velcro. Both attached well enough and with velcro strong enough to hold against even the hardest of pulls.

This bondage bar performed amazingly! Not only are there a few "starter positions" on the box but it comes with no assembly required. So within five minutes of getting the box in my hands I had it out and Britt strapped into it. We both agree that with the wrists and ankles both cuffed she can't move unless I move her.

The velcro cuffs are incredibly fast and easy to put on or take off so you won't waste any time getting straight to the restraint play. It's so easy to use you can play around with the bondage bar a bit, and soon you'll have loads of favorite positions.

The bar is fairly strong. With my girlfriend fully cuffed I was able to grab the bar and pick up her weight to move her. The bar did bend quite a bit while her weight (107) was on it, but went right back to straight. So strong enough to hold, but not something I would try to do over and over. Like I said before this is not a product you will easily destroy.

This toy shouldn't require any care or maintenance. I wouldn't imagine it to be machine washable but if you should get anything on it the nylon it's made of is tough so I imagine you could spot wash it with a rag and let it air dry.
