Bondage Kits

What are bondage kits?

A bondage kit is a curated set of restraint and sensation items sold together, usually in a box or bag that doubles as storage. Instead of choosing cuffs, straps, a flogger and accessories separately, you get a coordinated starter set that works together out of the box. Kits are graded by experience, from introductory sets built around soft cuffs to advanced kits with more pieces and sturdier hardware. They are the easiest way into our wider restraints range, and most couples who buy one later add individual pieces as they learn what they enjoy.

Types of bondage kits

Introductory and beginner bondage kits

Ouch! introductory and beginners kits, Sportsheets' Beginners Bondage Fantasy kit, Sex and Mischief's Amor beginner and Our First kits and the Orange Is the New Black kit are deliberately gentle, with soft materials and simple fastenings. See beginner bondage kits for the full edit.

Intermediate and advanced bondage kits

Ouch! intermediate and advanced kits, the Strict Deluxe kit, Merci's VIP Room kit and the Temptasia Safe Word kit add more pieces and more robust construction for couples who already know the basics. Our advanced BDSM kits go further still.

Bed restraint kits

Strict's bed bondage restraint kit, Sex and Mischief's bed restraint kit and the Lux Fetish bed strap and flogger kit use straps that slide under a mattress so cuffs can be anchored at each corner without any fixings.

Collar, cuff and leash kits

Fetish Fantasy's collar with cuffs and leash kit and the Ouch! bondage belt restraint system are wearable sets that connect at the body rather than to furniture. Compare them with our restraint kits.

Themed and soft bondage kits

WhipSmart's Fuzzy collection and bedroom kits, Master Series' Kitty kits, the Sinful vinyl kit and Fetish Fantasy's Honeymoon and Passion kits lean into a particular look, from plush to glossy, for couples who want the aesthetic as much as the function.

How to choose bondage kits

Match the kit to your experience and your bedroom.

• Experience level: Buy the level you are actually at.
• Release mechanism: Velcro, clips and buckles are quicker to undo than locks and knots, which matters in a hurry.
• Anchor point: Bed restraint kits need a mattress; wearable collar and cuff kits work anywhere.
• Materials: Plush and faux fur are softest on skin; nylon and vinyl are sturdier and easier to wipe clean.
• Contents: Check what is included. Some kits are mostly restraints, others add floggers or sensation toys.

How to use and care for bondage kits

Talk first. Agree on what is and is not on the table, pick a check-in word that stops everything, and keep scissors or a quick-release option within reach. Cuffs should be snug enough to stay put but loose enough to slip a finger underneath. Never leave a restrained partner alone, and check hands and feet regularly for cold, tingling or colour change.

• Release immediately if anything hurts, goes numb or feels wrong.
• Avoid restraining around the neck or anything that could tighten under load.
• Wipe vinyl and nylon with a damp cloth; hand wash plush pieces and let everything dry fully.
• Check buckles, stitching and Velcro for wear before each use.
• Store the kit in its box or bag so small parts are not lost.

Bondage kits for beginners and couples

For a first kit, choose soft cuffs, quick fastenings and a modest number of pieces so there is less to think about in the moment. Couples who have been playing for a while often move to a bed restraint system for more positions, or to rope and bondage tape for a more hands-on approach. Whichever level you choose, the kit is only the starting point: communication, a check-in word and a slow pace are what make bondage feel good for both of you.
