It doesn’t matter how great your sex life is and what kind of things you get up to behind closed doors. Eventually, things may start to get a bit samey. When they do, it’s down to you to spice things up. If you and your partner are looking to explore your kinkier sides and try new things in the bedroom, incorporating bondage tape into your sex lives is guaranteed to be a life-changing experience!

Bondage tape, also known as BDSM tape, is an adult accessory that probably isn’t as well known as some of the more commonly used sex toys out there. Despite this, bondage with tape is growing in popularity all the time. If you’ve never tried it before, whoa, are you missing out!

Ideal for experienced and inexperienced users alike, BDSM bondage restraints are extremely versatile, simple to use, and deliciously naughty. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking to indulge your wildest BDSM fantasies or simply experiment with something different; tape bondage is your must-have bedroom accessory. 

If you’re thinking of bringing BDSM tape into your love life, here is your ultimate guide to bondage tape. 

We know you’re probably keen to grab your roll of tape, restrain your partner, and blow their mind, but first we need to look at what bondage tape is. 

Bondage tape is one of the most popular accessories in the bedroom at the moment, and rightly so. It’s a unique form of tape that has been designed specifically for bondage and restraint play. Basically, it can be used for tying your partner up, restraining them, blindfolding them, gagging them, and plenty more kinky delights. 

The tape is made from a unique PVC material that only sticks to itself. That means it won’t stick to the skin, leave sticky residue behind, pull hair, stick to furniture, leave a rash, or generally make a nuisance of itself. Where you would use cuffs, rope, chains, or restraints, this versatile tape can nearly always be used instead.

The tape also comes in a variety of widths, colors, lengths, levels of stickiness, and stretchiness and can even be reused, so it’s economical too. 

As you can see, this special type of tape used for bondage is not your everyday roll of duct tape. It is designed to be used on people and is one of the best sex life enhancers on the market today. 

Still not sure about the many benefits that BDSM tape can offer? Just check out the following: 

• Simple to adjust during intimacy 
• Designed to be 100% skin-safe for more sensitive areas 
• Can be used in other creative and deviant ways beyond restraining 
• Waterproof, no matter how wet and steamy things get
• Far less intimidating than other restraints 
• A great introduction into the world of BDSM 
• Portable, lightweight, and discreet, making it perfect for dirty weekends away 
• Simple and easy to release in seconds 
• Gentle and comfortable 
• Perfect for doms and subs alike 
• Comes in a number of different designs and options to choose from
• Can often be reused

By now, you’re probably desperate to get your hands on a roll of BDSM bondage restraints, but not so fast, we’re not done teasing just yet. Before you can incorporate tape bondage into your sex life, you need to know how to use BDSM tape correctly. 

Luckily, we’ve got your back, so here are a few tips on how to use bondage tape like a pro: 

Handcuffs in the bedroom are all well and good, but they can dig into the wrists and be quite painful, even the fluffy ones. Instead of painful handcuffs, why not use bondage tape to restrain your partner or sub’s ankles and/or wrists instead? 

A few lengths of bondage tape wrapped around the wrists and/or ankles means they won’t be going anywhere. They’ll be completely at your mercy, allowing you to have your wicked way with them. 

Another simple yet extremely effective way of using tape for bondage is to use it as a blindfold. 

Add a strip or two over their eyes so they can’t see what you’re doing to them. As the tape is 100% skin-safe, it’s comfortable and won’t stick to the eyelashes, skin, or eyebrows. That means they can comfortably just lay back and enjoy exactly what you’re doing to them. 

If you’re seeking ways of getting the most out of tape for bondage, you may wish to use it as a gag. 

Bondage tape makes a fantastic gag as it is water-resistant, comfortable, lightweight, and doesn’t stick to the skin. All it takes is a length or two of tape over the mouth, and you’ve got yourself an effective gag to help muffle those screams and moans of ecstasy. 

When using bondage tape, one of the most important things to check is that your partner is safe and comfortable when restrained. As you’re responsible for applying the tape, you’re also responsible for the welfare of your partner.

When you wrap the tape around them, wrap it so that it feels tight and secure, but not too tight. While you want to limit movement, you don’t want it so tight that it cuts off their circulation. Check to see if you can fit a finger beneath the tape and their skin. If you can’t, it’s too tight and will need loosening. 

Oh, and as is always the case with these situations, communication is key, so before gagging them, ask them if they’re comfortable. If they are unable to speak because their mouth is full, have them confirm in a non-verbal way instead. 

If you’re ready to take things up a gear and really see what bondage with tape is all about, go ahead and use it to hogtie them. 

With a hogtie, you are basically wrapping the wrists and ankles together behind the back. Hogtie them, and they absolutely will not be going anywhere. You may need a few extra wraps here too, just to ensure the tape holds. 

This position is best reserved for those with a little more BDSM experience. It also gives quite the stretch, so flexibility also helps. 

Finally, as fantastic as bondage tape in the bedroom can be, safety always comes first. 

If you need to remove the tape quickly, safety scissors will have it off in seconds. As you’ll be cutting close to the skin, only use safety scissors and even then, be careful.
