For the more advanced bondage play

Bondage comes in many forms, and shackling is one of the most iconic. Metal shackles are attached to the walls of many dungeons, playrooms and party spaces--and they can take a bit of a pounding, making them a great choice for keeping stronger and more feisty submissives under control! They can be used on the wrists or the ankles, and in some cases are suitable for extended periods of confinement--assuming, of course, you're communicating with the person you've got locked up all the time, and you know how they're doing. If you get a chance to try shackling, it can be well worth it for the aesthetic potential alone.

They are heavy duty bondage restraints for ankles and wrists that can be connected by chains or spreader bars. They can often be found connected to walls in dungeons, BDSM clubs and play spaces.

What are bondage shackles made of?

Most often shackles are made of metal, but they can be made of leather in some instances. They need to be able to withstand significant force, so they need to be made of strong materials to be long-lasting.

How to use bondage shackles Safely

You should always check the circulation of a person wearing any kind of restraints. Shackles can be heavy, especially if using chains. Be sure that they are not rubbing uncomfortably into the wearer’s skin. And if the shackles are secured with padlocks – always be sure you know where the key is!

Why use bondage shackles?

These heavy duty restraints are ideal for restraining strong, wriggly submissive. The sound of metal and chain can be a definite turn on for both submissives and dominants too. They look good as well as being very effective for all kinds of bondage play. Shackles are also hard wearing and can be used time and time again.

Torture, S&M and other bondage ideas

Bondage is one of the most famous and best known aspects of S&M and BDSM play, and not without reason. Being tied up is a glorious sensation for the right person, and the control inherent in being the person doing the tying can give a dominant partner a heady rush. Ball gags are also commonly used. Sometimes bondage is there primarily to enhance a roleplay scenario; sometimes it's almost an art form, especially when it comes to rope bondage. Other times it's just to make clear the dynamic and have some fun with each other. Whatever your reasons for indulging, make sure you're doing so safely. Learn some knots that don't tighten under pressure and always keep a pair of shears to hand in case you need to release your partner in a hurry.

For all handcuff fetishists

Handcuffs have become a part of the collective conscience when it comes to kink. Whether they're the pink fluffy kind that snaps open and closed or the police-issue variety complete with a rigid middle section, they're as much a symbol as they are a sex toy. That doesn't mean they aren't a great addition to your kinky arsenal, however; there's something beautiful about hearing them snap on and knowing you couldn't wriggle out of them however hard you tried. As with all things, there are a couple of safety concerns. It's important to keep the key close by, and it's also vital that you don't use cheap 'novelty' handcuffs for bondage purposes; these can slip further closed around the wrist and cut off the blood supply, potentially causing damage.

Get your bondage rope ready

Bondage rope is perhaps the most fundamental part of any bondage kit, and is a vital addition to anyone's sex toy collection - and the more, the better. Good bondage rope is soft, strong, well sealed at the ends and resistant to fraying. There are countless ways to use it, and a clever dominant can fashion enough rope into almost anything else; cuffs, a collar, even a gag! The most important thing is to have a pair of shears on hand whenever you're playing with rope; that way, if you need to release someone from a tie quickly and painlessly, you won't be stuck fumbling with knots long after they've used a safeword.
