Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down

Definitely worth the money, if for nothing else than travel potential alone. Fun and sexy, and can actually pack more punch than you think they will. Simplicity at its best. Hours of fun for very little moolah.

Use

These silky ties are great for wrists and ankles, but for light use only. They're perfect for those of us who still like to feel pretty when being tied up (or down, whatever the situation calls for). Probably wouldn't stand up to heavy play, although to be fair I've never used them in that context. They're great for folks who are just entering the world of BDSM - they're about as non-threatening as you get for bondage.

These work best on a bed or even in a doorway, but probably wouldn't be very safe for any play involving body weight on them. As with any ties, I like that you can control the tightness of the restraint. Fairly loose for foreplay or for skittish partners, or tighter for heavier play and more experienced players.

Obviously easily to travel with, and they won't give airport security a thrill either. My partner and I have thrown these in to our suitcase for many trips and have never been disappointed.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

There's really not much design to these babies. The restraints are just two long swaths of satiny material. They are reinforced at the edges to prevent fraying, which is nice. There is no issue with sizing; just tie them at tightly or as loosely as you like, and get to it.

The satin feel is very sensual and I think is a great enhancement during foreplay. Makes me feel pretty even while being bound and spanked.

Performance

My partner and I have used these many times and in several different situations. They work great for basic restraints, tying wrists together or tying wrists or ankles to the bed (or door frame, whatever floats your boat). We also discovered that by inserting a small hook on the top back of our headboard, we could use these to tie my wrists together and then hook them to the bed so that my arms were pretty well immobilized. Be forewarned, however, that if you use these restraints in this way that you have to be careful about how tight you tie them. What feels good with no pressure will suddenly be biting and constricting when in that kind of position. It's not a bad thing if you want a little heavier play out of these ties, but people should know that up front.

There is virtually no setup time, so they lend themselves well to spontaneous play. If you're gonna use them more creatively than just basic bondage, though, you might want to spend a little time planning how that will work. Nothing worse than being in the thick of things with this great idea in your head only to have it fall short of your expectations.
    • Comfortable during use
    • Easy to put on / use
    • Holds up to use well

Care and Maintenance

These are super easy to care for. When you're finished with them, just toss them into the wash with a load of darks. Dry them in the dryer like you would any other clothing. They tend to last longer and remain in better condition if you let them air dry, though. They're pretty wrinkle resistant, so you don't have to worry about ironing before playing. Always a plus.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

These come in the equivalent of a cardboard sleeve. Once you open them, there's no salvaging the packaging, so don't plan on using it for storage.
    • Minimal
    • Not discreet

Experience

These restraints are a must have for anyone who likes being bound, or who enjoys binding others. They're not going to stand up to heavy play, but even experienced consumers will enjoy them. They're very easy to travel with, and can go places full cuffs and tethers can't.

As with any restraints, always think about safety first. Don't use these for activities involving a lot of body weight or tension. They aren't made for that and could really hurt in those instances. Use them with someone you trust, although if you're letting them tie you up in the first place I hope that's a conversation you've already had.
