Ropes & Tape

Rope and tape for bondage play range from Darkness’s jute and cotton rope in five- and ten-metre lengths to Calexotics’ pre-tied cuff-style kits for people who don’t want to learn knots yet. Kink’s Rope Arts line sits toward the practiced end, with braided nylon meant to hold a pattern under tension. Non-sticky bondage tape from Darkness is the easiest starting point of all: it clings to itself rather than skin or hair and leaves nothing to untie. Lengths and material vary enough that it’s worth reading the product description before assuming two ropes handle the same way.
