Set up your domination station with these restraints that are easy to use and tough not to love. Simple buckles make them great for beginners and pros alike — no special skills required. Your lover will be tantalizingly at your mercy and as comfortable (or not) as you desire.

Pro tip: Add rope with a simple square knot to put your plaything right where you want them.

Tailor your bondage to suit your pleasure. Harnesses make adding chains or rope a cinch, thanks to strategically placed D-rings or O-rings, and show off the body to perfection. Want a quick release? Go for clip-on belts.

Pro tip: Combine a harness with an arm binder for a double dose of submission.

Turn any bed into a private playground with a restraint system attached securely under the mattress. Have your lover spreadeagled or on all fours, and cuffed at the wrists, ankles or both for a sweet surrender. These systems can be a gentler introduction to bondage, with Velcro for a quick cuffing and release, but more experienced kinksters will find plenty to love too.

Pro tip: As these fit almost any mattress, use them to heat up a hotel tryst.

Make it easy on yourself to make things delightfully hard for your plaything, with complete restraint kits brimming with kinky possibilities. Or go for a specialized set that quickly and securely puts your favorite parts on display, no tying experience needed. Perhaps wrangle your lover into a hogtie lickety-split, or throw them a curve with a hook-and-collar set?

Pro tip: Bondage tape is easily portable — and no one in airport security will bat an eye.

They’ll have to open wide with one of these spreader bars strategically set between their legs — it allows them to maintain the position with less effort. Choose one with ankle cuffs only, leaving the hands free to please you, or go for one with wrist cuffs too to really put your plaything in a bind.

Pro tip: Have your partner lie down or sit in position before you attach the bar, unless you want to end up carrying them.

Use these to stimulate the clitoris, prostate, G-spot or A-spot, or to give the pussy or ass something to squeeze. The smooth surface reduces friction, so these are great for anyone with a bit of internal irritation. You can also use them for double penetration even without a third partner.

Pro tip: Never insert anything into the ass or pussy that doesn’t have a flared or ball base or a long, curved stem. You don’t want to lose anything in there!

Get off the ground with cuffs that can comfortably handle body weight or, with some training, bondage rope and a shibari ring. Suspensions can heighten sensation and release both adrenaline and feel-good endorphins, leading to that blissful floaty experience known as subspace.

Pro tip: Learn from an expert before trying rope suspensions, to help reduce the risk of injury.

Which material to choose depends on personal preference and intended use. Jute is considered the best for suspensions, as it holds tension well and has a good grip, but it isn’t the softest. Bamboo is super soft and hypoallergenic. Hemp is strong, relatively flexible and not overly soft. Cotton is soft, easily washable and typically the least expensive.

Pro tip: Ask your partner whether they’re allergic to any natural fibers before tying.

“Shibari” is a Japanese word that generally means “tying” or “binding,” but Shibari is known in the West as bondage that has an erotic quality. You don’t have to incorporate suspensions into your shibari play, but if you do, these durable metal rings can take the weight with ease and create less friction than wooden rings.

Pro tip: A suspension ring with a spoked design helps keep ropes from tangling.
