This is a hog tie device that is safe and easy to use with the beginner tier-upper in mind. If you aren't quite sure how it works, just look at how the little anime girl on the box is tied up and it will all start to make sense.

The rope is very silky and lustrous, making rope burn less of a concern with this device. It is generous, but not too generous enough as to allow a person to wiggle out of it--though need be it could be done, it just takes talent. It's a basic slip knot mechanism designed to fit all shapes and sizes of wrists and limbs, no matter how big or small. The more the restrained person wiggles and pulls, the tighter it becomes, but not to the point of cutting off circulation or anything.

We've never played with ropes or restraints before, but with how comfortable I was, it would be all right to go ahead and go through with trying to fuck this way. I'm a bit of a sensitive person when it comes to anything involving "force" sometimes, so my boyfriend and I were a little concerned that being restrained would make me scared or uncomfortable.

Luckily, none of the positions of the ropes hindered his movement to enter from behind, and we had a fairly quick run with the ropes on that was mildly hot.

We're not rope people, and it's not the first thing we'll think to grab when we want to be kinky, but that shouldn't suggest that it wasn't enjoyable. It was different for both of us, and it pushed us into doing something new as a couple together.

It is very important that you trust the person you are allowing to restrain you, and it is very important to get permission from the person you intend to restrain. This should go without saying, but there are reasons I'm not so keen on being tied up.

That being said, this could open up a whole new world of play to someone who is curious about bondage.

Just be sure that if you're the tier-upper, whether the safe word is said or not, "oh god could you please scratch my nose" is serious business. Scratch the person's freaking nose, all right? My boyfriend was kind enough to scratch mine and it was kind of a very cute little moment as I'm laying there on my belly wiggling in restraints.

Communication is key, people. And when he scratched my nose, I knew I was in safe hands. I'm going to marry this boy.
