The Knots you have Bargained For

The disadvantage of this rope is that it is NOT silk. It's cotton, which is, in some cases, better than rope. However, upon opening the box I noticed that part of the rope was frayed and that the ends were not finished. Overall, the quality was not the best that you could get for bondage rope, but the best you can get for the price.

Use

Cotton is wonderful for beginners because it makes tight knots that are not likely to slip. However, with this rope I was experiencing more slippage than usual, but I am not sure if I can attribute it to the cotton rope or if the other ropes I were using were a different grade of cotton. Because of how easily it frayed, I would not suggest this rope for suspension. If you want to do suspension you should get a thicker, higher-grade rope. This rope is better for simple knots, like a basic hogtie or some of the Japanese-style bondage that you see that does not require suspension.

Since a lot of artistic ties do not require serious restraint, this rope is more suited to them.
Artistic bondage

Of course, you can always do something like this, for more advanced users.

Even if you can not read Japanese, a lot of the images are self-explanatory.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

Because of the fraying, I could not see this product lasting for a long time. For longer lasting rope, I would suggest a higher grade of rope, something thicker with more thread count. Nylon rope is similar to cotton rope in that it is gentle on skin yet keeps tight knots. 35 feet is a very long length of rope, and you may end up cutting it since it is not useful for suspension. However, you will need a way to treat the ends of the rope so that they will not fray at the ends.

Performance

There are so many different uses for Japanese bondage rope, as it is an art form of its own. For my uses, this rope worked great to allow my girlfriend to become my art piece, where I can bind her into whatever position that I wish. However, safety is always important, and beginners should ALWAYS research or take a class before doing something more risky.
    • Comfortable during use
    • Difficult to put on / use

Personal comments

I have to say that this product has been a lot of fun for me and my partner. Even though we got the quality we payed for, we have still been able to have some fun with this rope. She seemed to really enjoy being hogtied, and at the end of the day, she sometimes did not even want to leave the ropes.

Rope bondage is even an art form in Japan, and it is easy to see why it is so popular here. Even in Japan it has a more aesthetic value, and it is more of an art. Here, we look at rope bondage like a substitution to fuzzy leather cuffs and chains, when rather, it is a lot more.
