Bondage Tape How-To
Before we dive into some kinky bondage tape ideas, let’s make sure everyone is on the same page here. Bondage tape is very different from other kinds of tape, so don’t think you can just swap in what you have around the house. It isn’t duct tape or scotch tape; both of those are sticky and can really hurt to remove from the skin!
Softer and more flexible than household tape, bondage tape is non-adhesive, meaning there’s no hair-tearing stickiness to contend with. This special tape sticks only to itself, so when you’re binding yourself or your partner, you’ll need to loop the tape around a few times to be sure it takes hold.
Unlike ropes with complicated knots, a steep learning curve, and chafing or locks and fiddly keys, bondage tape is sleek and simple. Plus, if you want to go the extra mile and tape your partner to a piece of furniture or a bedpost, you won’t have to worry about the surface being sticky after the fun is done—no messy cleanup, from the tape at least!
Bondage tape is generally easy to remove; all you need is a large pair of safety scissors to cut it off. Keep those handy in case you and your partner need to get the tape off quickly, but you can also make the unbinding sexy too by slowly running the scissors over their body as you slowly release the tape. Bondage tape can be used in different bondage sex positions or when you are learning how to self bondage!
1. Bind the Ankles
Wondering how to tie bondage using bondage tape? When you want to bind your ankles or any other parts of your body, the simplest way with bondage tape is to wrap it around one limb a few times first. This allows you to test out the tightness and make sure that it will stay in place without cutting off the circulation. Then, once you’re satisfied, expand the wrap to include the second limb. The tape will need to be held taut while you do the wrapping to keep it secure.
2. Wrap the Wrists
Like the ankles, you can easily wrap your or your partner's wrists using the same method. Don’t use more than two or three wraps before moving on, though, so you don’t waste more tape than you need. The wrists can just be bound together in front of your partner or behind them to leave them helpless, or you can get creative with it. Some people enjoy their partner standing up. Using bondage tape to tie your partner to a ladder or something sturdy to help them stay standing during a punishment or teasing session can be highly enticing.
3. Attach to Objects
Looking to enjoy some restraint play with that nice new bedroom chair? Bondage tape is the tool you’ll need! Keeping in mind that bondage tape doesn’t adhere to any surface except itself, you’ll need to wrap it a few times around whatever you want to attach yourself or your partner to, so everything will stick properly. For example, many people enjoy binding their partner to an armchair and leaving them completely vulnerable for whatever wickedly sexy plans they have in store.
To do so, wrap the tape a few times around your partner’s wrist and then expand the wrap to include underneath the arm of the chair. You’ll want to wrap it twice or three times to keep things steady without wasting too much tape. Do the same thing for the other wrist. If your partner can hold the position, ask them to lift their legs and bend their knees, so you can wrap their ankles to the chair’s arms as well. They will look and feel totally exposed!
You aren’t limited to chairs either. You can bind your partner to the headboard, a sturdy wall fixture, a stool, a table, or even use the tape to fashion a belt and keep them full of your favorite vibrator or toy for a sensory experience that both of you can enjoy.
4. Use it as a Blindfold
Bondage tape is exceptionally versatile, and one of the best ways for beginners to get started with the tape is using it as a blindfold. Blindfolding your partner is an amazingly erotic way to leave them vulnerable and surprise them with your movements since they can’t see what’s coming. However, if you don’t bind anything else, it also adds a layer of comfort, knowing that they can easily remove the tape if they grow anxious or need to see.
5. Make Fetish Gear
If you are a big fan of the club scene and are the creative type, bondage tape can be a fantastic way to enhance or make club gear from scratch. Bondage tape firmly adheres to itself and nothing else, so wearing a top or bottom made from bondage tape is completely doable. You can go for a simple look with a single-colored tape or get fancy with multiple colors or other decorations on the outside.
6. Keep it Quiet Over the Mouth
If you and your partner want to try a little quiet time, bondage tape can be an effective tool to muffle any noises of pain or pleasure. You won’t have to worry about the tape sticking to your partner’s hair or face, but you want to be precise with how you place the tape and keep it taut as you wrap. It is more crucial than anything else to keep the tape in place.
Your partner will likely start to sweat during your sexy session, so take that into account since the sweat might cause the tape to shift or move during play.
A word of caution: if you plan to cover the mouth, be very careful not to cover the nose at all. It can be easy for loose tape to slip up and cover the nose, too, which would leave you or your partner completely unable to breathe. Always have some way of communicating outside of your words and check in frequently with your partner to ensure that everything is safe.
7. Wrap it All Up with Mummification
This is definitely not for beginners! With full mummification, you are going to need a few rolls of tape, and your partner will need to have a lot of patience. Before you start wrapping, let your partner go to the bathroom and try not to drink too much, so they won’t have to pee halfway through. Continually monitor them and check in frequently to see how they are doing comfort-wise.
We advise not taping over the mouth at all since the limbs will be completely bound, and your partner will have no other way to signal you or use a safe word if they need to. There is a lot of trust involved in all BDSM, but they will be entirely at your mercy with mummification. Depending on what you want to do, you can bind all of their limbs to their torso, arrange them in a specific position, or leave their nether regions exposed like a sex toy.
You can leave their face unwrapped so they can see what’s going to happen, knowing that they can’t move a muscle or blindfold them as well to leave them completely helpless. Even if you can’t penetrate your partner when they’re wrapped up, you can use your fingers, lips, tongue, and toys to tease them to climax over and over again when they can’t move away. Many people find that stimulation is even more overwhelming when they are unable to squirm or control it.
After you have finished a scene where a large portion of your partner’s body was taped up, ensure that they have plenty to drink. Bondage tape is secure, but it isn’t breathable, so they will likely sweat a lot of their fluids out and will need to replenish to avoid dehydration. Remember, this is an experienced restraint play technique, and aftercare is incredibly important no matter what!
