Buy bondage or jerry rig your own?

[marzbarz]

Do you buy bondage outright, or jerry rig your own out of stuff in your house? What are your favorite or most creative things you've used for bondage? Exercise bands, ankle weights, bungie cords, chains, home gym equipment, craft supplies?

If you're shy about buying sex bondage, what have you purchased instead for a discreet purchase, and did it work well?

If you can compare between the professional stuff and the goofy creative home supply stuff, which worked better for you and was it worth it?

I have used and continue to use a combination of the two. It's usually a cost-benefit thing for me. Some products are egregiously overpriced with poor quality, while others are amazingly affordable and will outlast me. I usually buy cuffs, for example. I can make them, but amazon has very affordable ones marketed to be used for weight-lifting and resistance machines. For the price, it feels silly for me to make my own. But for other things, like straps, rope, chains, locks, and various connectors and attachments, the hardware store is where I start. The thing about buying things at the hardware store is that it can be intimidating for some people. Knowing what to get can be overwhelming if it's out of your circle of comfort. And the products there are obviously not intended for bondage, so extra attention to any implications of using them for it is important. For example, when buying rope, there are a lot of different choices at the larger hardware stores, but many are not bondage friendly (they may be too abrasive, too stiff, be coated with chemicals for conditioning or protection, etc).

I don't currently own any dedicated bondage furniture, but I would probably make any if that time comes. I suppose it depends upon the piece and time constraints. As far as my favorite homemade solutions, the simplest sometimes impress me the most. An example that comes to mind is a quick 4-point hogtie with cuffs attached to double-ended snaps or quick links, each of which are then attached to one central steel ring (used in trucking and trailer rigging). I'm currently playing with the idea of making different adjustable straps. I love rope, but sometimes you can't beat a quick set up.

A ring attached to 4 cuffs for a hogtie is genius actually!

I mostly build my own bondage devices. It's fun to work on these things. You can't always find specific bondage devices in the stores. With a little bit of knowledge and imagination, you can build your own stuff.

I hope that whatever contraption a ler has a lee in is tested by the ler first.

I’ve heard one horror story too many.

My GF uses my ties to tie me up. Hiding in plain sight but effective and comfy.

There is a way to use weightlifting gloves (fingerless), some rope or fabric shashes (from a robe) and ratcheting tie downs to make a nice set up for stretch out immobility there are also some HD straps for cargo etc that wrap around bed parts and posts and have rivet reinforced holes for attaching ropes or the hooks of a tie down....the ratcheting mechanism sounds like a dungeon rack as it clicks every bit of tension,,,and its nicely effective on some to see the Lee 's anticipation and apprehension with each mm of tightening,,,if you like that sort of thing,,👿 😂❤️
