Kits de bondage

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. 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 Fetish Fantasy's Lover's Fantasy, Honeymoon and Beginner's Bondage sets are deliberately gentle, with soft materials and simple fastenings. See beginner bondage kits for the full edit.

Intermediate and advanced bondage kits

The Ouch! intermediate kit, Master Series' Scarlet Seduction leather travel set, the Scandal and Sportsheets submissive kits and Fetish Fantasy's Chains of Love set add more pieces and more robust construction for couples who already know the basics. Our advanced BDSM kits collection goes further still.

Bed restraint and hogtie kits

Strict, Sex and Mischief and Frisky bed restraint kits 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. Fetish Fantasy's hogtie kits and the Lux Fetish hogtie and ball gag kit link wrists and ankles behind the body instead.

Collar, cuff and leash kits

Lux Fetish collar, cuffs and leash sets, Fetish Fantasy's nylon collar and cuff 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.

Impact play and themed kits

The Strict Deluxe bondage kit, WhipSmart's glow-in-the-dark impact set and the Nasstoys whip, tickle and paddle kit centre on sensation rather than restraint; see impact play kits. Themed sets such as WhipSmart's Fuzzy collection, Master Series' Kitty and Kawaii kits, the Sinful vinyl kit and the Orange Is the New Black kits lean into a look, from plush to glossy.

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. 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. 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.
