Which bondage rope?

Forum search
Contributor: novanilla novanilla 12/13/2012

These are the same price and essentially the same product so I can't decide how to choose. The only thing I came up with is that the one by Doc Johnson is not finished at the ends and is 3 feet shorter. Neither of those things are that bothersome to me. How to pick?

I love my Japanese bondage rope. You can easily tie off the ends into knots, which is what I've done, and I haven't had to worry about it unraveling. You actually get a LOT to play with, and it's super soft for tying a rope harness. I have the black rope. It's very sexy.

I would go with the Japanese rope if I were buying one

Probably the Japanese rope, but that's just because the color would look nicer

They both come in a few different colors, and I chose the ones I would be most likely to choose, so the color is sort of irrelevant in choosing between them.

I'm a femme and I like my pink.

I have the silk and I love it

It mostly depends on how you feel about different textures on your skin, I think. Silk has always felt a little odd to me, so I might prefer the japanese rope.

I've heard good things about the Japanese bondage rope.

I think cotton keeps a knot more easily than silk, but silk would feel smoother on the skin (which is not necessarily what's wanted.)

They are both made of cotton--even though ones says it's made of silk.

You're right.

I would go with the Japanese rope. Just because I'm not a huge fan of the fetish fantasys line.

I haven't used either but will add that for bondage, hemp and jute are really good choices. They feel rougher, but not unpleasantly so, and the friction means the ties hold better.

Like others said, the silk is actually cotton, and I won't buy silk anyway because I'm a vegan.

I've tried the "silk" rope. I hate it actually. lol I have a review up on it.

So given my experience I'm gonna go with the other option!

neither is great, they function as far as simple floor ties are concerned, but if you are really interested in bondage, get a few lengths of singlebraid nylon or MFP

Silk is meh, stick with the regular rope

I think that you don't have to buy bondage rope at a sex shop. Just visit a DIY-Market and look what feels best.
