This silk rope is my first rope and I can vouch that it's great for beginners! As long as you can tie a knot, you can use this rope. As for more experienced users, the material is very strong and there is plenty of it. If you're looking for a gentle, durable bondage rope this is perfect for you.

On a completely different note, with a strong knot you could tie two of these to your grappling hook and surmount many cliffs and dungeon pits! Silk rope is a must-have for an adventurer on the go.

This silk love rope is very aesthetically pleasing. It comes in black, red, purple (my personal choice), and pink. It's a thin, sleek rope that is very durable. The silk was able to withstand quite a lot of wriggling and tugging and didn't fray or come loose. It is very gentle and did not irritate my skin. However, it did leave a slight imprint that went away in about an hour. As long as you keep your wrists hidden you should be good to go!

It definitely met expectations. I was unaware of the free blindfold, which was a nice little touch that I was able to use immediately. The rope is very soft and very comfortable, yet my partner was able bind my upper body with my arms behind my back with no issue and plenty of rope to spare. The versatility of the rope and the pure sexiness of being tied up or seeing a person tied up properly with this rope is fantastic and definitely makes it worth every penny.

Maintaining your rope couldn't be easier. All you have to do is use it, wrap it back up as it was in the packaging, and then store wherever you'd like. Wrapping: After use, fold the rope in half twice, and use one end to wrap it around the center to hold it in place and keep it neat.

Whenever you decide to wash the rope, you can toss it in the washer (preferably in a lingerie bag) and allow it to air-dry.

This packaging includes the title "Japanese Silk Rope". Well, upon further inspection I found that it was made and printed in China and assembled in the USA. China + USA = Japan? In any case, the packaging includes a sexy woman in various bondage positions: Four different positions with her legs and arms tied together, and one with her breasts bound. I have to say, the guy on the package is pretty creepy, and the restraints she's in look pretty easy to get out of.

The back includes the description: "With this super-soft Japanese Silk Rope, you don't have to be an expert to enjoy the pleasure of Japanese-style bondage play. It's ideal for those who simply want to tie their partner's hands and feet, but long enough and durable enough for those who want to engage in Shibari style rope bondage. The rope is 1/4" thick and 35 feet long, perfect for creating elaborate body harnesses and rope restraints."

Whenever using bondage, make sure that you communicate your needs to your partner. If you feel a limb losing circulation, or you're uncomfortable or in pain - voice it! Only practice bondage with someone you know and trust, and be sure to know your boundaries and limits.

Once a partner is tied up, do not leave them unattended. Do not put any pressure on the throat and on a similar note, do not use any sort of slip knot around the throat! If the knot has the possibility of tightening during play, it does not belong around the throat.
