The Leather Hog Tie by Kink Lab|Leather hog tie - Restraints by Kinklab comes in Red or Black. I was feeling saucy and chose red. Why do people want to be tied up or restrained? The feeling of helplessness can be frightening. It can also be quite hot. I recommend the following when playing with restraints (especially for novice players): play with someone you trust implicitly, never allow them to leave you alone while restrained and have a safeword in place should you want the play to end. You may also consider having a third person, an "anchor" as it were to keep you grounded while you explore this exciting adventure.

I am new to playing with restraints. I can be claustrophobic and so it was a challenge to me to consider reviewing this item. When the Leather Hog Tie arrived, I noticed that at 11 inches from tip to tip, I was a little concerned how comfortable I may be in the usual hog tie position (on stomach, arms behind back and knees bent with ankles overtop your butt). I am a curvy girl after all, and using the Leather Hog Tie with ankle and wrist cuffs likely meant that I would not be able to maintain the position for very long.

My partner got creative and pulled out the rope, cutting strips long enough to tie around each of my ankles and wrists and create a loop for the four rotatable claw hooks of the hog-tie to clip onto (he's pretty smart for a bear). This gave me a little more wriggle room as it were.

What can you do when you're tied up? Physically not a lot - after all, your movement is restricted. This allows you to open up your mind and concentrate on the sensations your partner stimulates you with. Perhaps the tickle of a feather or light fingertips tracing your body? Perhaps something a little irritating like poking you with a bamboo skewer here and there. In the usual hog-tie position, your butt is somewhat covered over with your wrists and ankles so you may be saved from getting your ass beat, however that actually leaves a whole lot of other areas open. You could get flipped on your side rather quick and be at the mercy of your partner - just the way they like it! Amp up the sensory excitement by adding a blindfold. Restrained and unable to move, blindfolded and unable to see means you begin to rely on your other senses to guide you. Touch becomes incredible - whether hard or soft, you will feel the sensations ten-fold.

I love that this is a leather product - it is well crafted and beautiful. Matching ankle and wrist restraints are on my list and perhaps a little chain if I need to extend them for my comfort. One can also sit on their bottom with their arms in front of them at their ankles and be restrained this way. Either way you choose, this is a fantastic and fun product for BDSM play.

We were at the mens bath house attending a special kink event open to all for the night. Play equipment was set up and to the side of the dungeon space was a four-poster bed. I asked my friend JR to be my anchor. I trust my play partner, a big bear, but I also wanted someone to hold me gently and whisper sweet things to me while I was restrained and my bear got rough with me. JR got comfortable on the bed, his back against the wall.

I was on my knees in front of him while my bear tied my ankles and wrists, clipped them easily to the hog-tie and then said, "JR, catch" and pushed me down. Oomph! I landed on JR, just where I wanted to be, my face on his chest, my body across the bed. It felt a tiny bit scary to know that I could not get away and having JR there actually meant a lot to me. I knew what my bear was up to: he likes to have his big paw inside me but he warmed me up first by caning me on my thighs. He employed a lube fairy to apply lube liberally to his gloved fist and then he went to work fisting my pussy. Being restrained with the hog-time meant that I wriggled a lot as I tried to get away (good luck) and I found myself in JR's armpit a few times. He was lovely, brushing my hair out of my face and giving me sips of water as needed.

Fisting makes me come hard and over and over again. The lube fairy was kept busy reapplying lube as my orgasms washed it away. After several minutes of play this way, I was flipped onto my side. I found this to be a fun and interesting position and again, because I had rope restraints that allowed for a little more movement, this position was largely comfortable and I was quickly sent back into the throes of orgasm; my partner slapping my tits and fisting me some more.

We played like this for at least 45 minutes. I was comfortable the entire time and I definitely found deep satisfaction in playing out this scene using the Leather Hog Tie.

I love leather, it gets me hot. Being restrained is exciting and scary! I don't get to use this toy all the time and I still do need some extra rope or something to make it more comfortable, but that is my need for accommodation and nothing to do with the product. The leather and clasps are still in excellent shape, the color is fantastic.

This is a terrific addition to my BDSM toy chest. This product is great for beginner or intermediate players. Play safe, everyone!
