Start with fabric. A bow. The how-to if you have not tied anyone on purpose yet.
Cons
- Learn a knot you can undo in the dark
- Scissors in the drawer is not a joke
Why it ranks: How-to-restraint names the sash.
No. 2 · Sportsheets

- Keys stay on the nightstand
Why it ranks: How-to-plus-Intro.
No. 4 · CalExotics

Tape that sticks to itself. Scissors. The how-to if you wanted wrap, not a lock.
Cons
- Sticks to itself, not to a promise. Keep it off hair
- Scissors. Circulation. Ask
Why it ranks: How-to-plus-tape.
No. 5 · Sportsheets
Sportsheets Beginner's Bondage Fantasy Kit
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.

Connectors. Posts. The how-to if you already named a bed frame.
Cons

- Ask first. A surprise kit is a fight
Why it ranks: How-to-plus-Fantasy.
No. 6 · Sportsheets
Sex & Mischief Enchanted Bondage Starter
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.

Satin mask in a burgundy box. Feather and tethers come along. The kit if you wanted a blindfold night with fabric leftover.
Cons
- Satin slides. Tie a real knot or buy cuffs
- The feather is extra. The tethers are the toy
Why it ranks: Blindfold fit is the satin, not the whip.
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Talk first, pick a safeword and start with light restraints. The anticipation is most of the fun. Solo, a blindfold and a vibe you can't see coming is a fun way to warm up to it.
The one we'd practice with is Sex & Mischief Silky Sash Restraints. The cuffs are soft enough to pull against without leaving marks, and the tension of being held does the rest.
