The Best Beginner Bondage Kits

New to bondage? Start here. These are the beginner bondage kits and first restraints we would hand to anyone trying it for the first time: comfortable, simple to use and quick to release. Before you play, talk through what you both want, agree a safe word and keep safety shears close by. Start light, check in often and build up from there.
