No. 2 · Sportsheets

No. 6 · 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.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Wrist and ankle straps with connectors. A soft blindfold. The kit if you already have a bed post in mind and do not want to lift the mattress.
Cons
- Connectors need something to wrap. A mattress system is easier
- Ask first. A surprise kit is a fight
Why it ranks: Post-vs-mattress is the first argument.
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.
If you're shopping, start with Sex & Mischief Enchanted Silky Sash Restraints. A long satin sash that works as a blindfold or a wrist tie. Pretty, soft and very suggestive.
