7 Bondage Toys for Beginners
You and your partner have talked about getting kinky. You’ve watched a little porn, read something online, or otherwise explored just a bit. There’s definite interest, but you might not know where to begin yet.
While getting kinky doesn’t require bondage gear, it’s definitely more fun with toys. Here are some beginner toys you can try as you explore what gets you off and what doesn’t.
Bondage Kit
If you’re completely lost while shopping for kinky gear, start with a bondage kit. Most include several toys that you can play with separately or together. These kits allow you the freedom to explore without the pressure to pick something. Bondage kits typically include blindfolds, ball gags, restraints, collar, cuffs, and more. Try what appeals to you and toss what you’re not into. Once you’ve figured out what you like, it’s much easier to shop for more bondage gear that fits your kinks.
Blindfold
The simplest way to give up or gain control over your partner is to take away their sight. Without that sense, everything is a surprise. Not all kink is about pain and torture. A lot of it can be sensuous, and some of the fun is in not knowing what’s coming at you next. Look for a blindfold made of a soft material like satin that can mold to your face. This reduces the chance of slipping or being about to “see” around the corners of the blindfold.
Collar and Leash
Not everyone who’s into kink and bondage wants to wear a collar or be lead around on a leash. But if that’s your thing, it’s one of the easiest toys to use. Find a collar that you like and that’s big enough for your neck. Get out a soft tape measure and figure out how big your neck really is — this isn’t a time to guess. The leash needs to have an easy spring clip that opens and closes with no problem.
Cuffs
You can wear cuffs around your wrists or your ankles — or both. Some people like to wear them to remind them that they’re the bottom or submissive. But they’re also useful and practical, too for easy bondage. Most cuffs include O or D rings that can be clipped together or to other objects. This is great for immobilizing you so you don’t move while your partner does something deliciously kinky. It doesn’t take any extra skill to “tie you up” and all that really matters is that your cuffs are comfortable. Like a collar, the material and size matter most.
Ticklers
Not sure how you feel about pain? Not all kink requires paddles and whips or even spankings. If you’re looking for something a little softer, try a tickler. These bondage toys are often made with feathers or faux-feathers and offer a lighter sensation. They may tickle — so be careful if that makes you want to kick and scream — but they may also just feel good against your skin in a seductive kind of way. They take no extra skill other than the ability to run the soft end down your body.
Bed Restraint Kits
Love the idea of being tied to the bed and unable to move while your partner tortures you with pleasure? Or are you imagining your partner tied to the bed and helpless underneath you? Either way, an under-the-bed restraint kit makes this incredibly easy. The straps sit under your top mattress, and each loop (one for each wrist and ankle) come out at the corners. They may use clips and rings or simply velcro to strap you or your partner in. Even better, they’re easily tucked away under the bed when you’re not playing so no one knows your kinky secret.
Bondage Tape
If your bondage fantasies include actual bondage, it can be a little intimidating to play with rope for the first time. Until you get the rope skills to safely tie up a partner, start with bondage tape. It sticks to itself so it won’t hurt your partner’s skin, and it’s easy to remove. Plus, bondage tape is colorful and will definitely hold your partner in position. Experiment and have fun, but keep scissors nearby in case you need to get your partner out quickly.
Conclusion
Kinky play doesn’t require any special kind of toys or bondage gear, but they do add an extra element of fun. If you’re still figuring out your kinks, try these these bondage basics first. They’ll help you decide what you like and what you don’t like. Once you know that, it’ll be time to move on to more advanced kinky gear. At Caliente Adult Superstore, we’re here to help you get your kink on, whether you’re a beginner or not.
