So what kind of things can I use?
Well, there are a few random every day household items you may have that would be perfect for a little quick and easy bondage. One good example of is zip ties. You know, those plastic ties that you can close all you want, but they're impossible to rip open. You can use these to simply hold your partner's wrists/ankles together. You can also connect multiple ties and use them to hold your partner to a headboard or something similar to that.
You can also use shoe laces. I had a pair of shoes that came with red, silk laces. My husband and I used them frequently to tie me up. They were long enough that we could even tie them together and put them around the headboard to tie my wrists to either side of the bed. You can also use your average, every day shoelaces though.
How about your panties? Not only do your undergarments look incredibly sexy when you're wearing them the right way, you can also use them to tie up your partner's hands. Sure if they struggle too much you may have to buy a new pair of panties, but I say it'd be worth it for a night of kinky fun! Cotton panties are best, as they're much more durable than lace. A thong or G-string would be much easier to tie as well.
Got any tape? If you're worried about it being sticky and ripping out hairs, just stick two pieces of tape together with the adhesive sides touching. This gives you tape with two non-sticky sides. You can then use this to bind your partner. You may have the occasional bit of adhesive that just couldn't be tamed though, so that could cause a problem with this kind of bondage.

There are so many naughty (knotty) things you can do with this rope. Believe me, my pu**y was soaking wet as I thought about the many possibilities. – DancerKittyKat | https://www.edenfantasys.com/bondage-and-fetish/cuffs-and-restraints/basic-cotton-rope| Basic cotton rope]
So see, you can have fun being tied up without going out and buying special gear. Don't get me wrong, handcuffs are wonderful, but if you're in a hurry, these are some pretty great solutions.
How Do I Play Safe?
With any kind of bondage you should always have some kind of safety scissors readily available. If your partner is restrained and there's an emergency you can't always count on being able to untie your knots, so that's why you keep scissors handy. These will be especially needed if playing with zip ties, since you can't just pull them off.
Circulation is a big deal with bondage. You need to make sure your partner always has blood flow to all of their body parts. You should be able to fit your fingers comfortably between any of their binding. This is a good way to make sure they're doing alright. You should also make sure nothing is turning red or bluish-purple. If that happens, you need to untie them.
It's good to have some kind of safe word or gesture for them to let you know they need to be untied. It's always good to check up on your partner as well. Just a quick "You ok?" they can nod or say yes. You can also have some kind of method where you squeeze their hand and if they squeeze back, they're doing fine, or something like that.
You should also never leave anyone restrained by them. If you need to use the bathroom, untie them. Let them take a break as well.
If you proceed with caution, bondage can be very fun. Just follow these tips, do a bit of research, and have a good time!
