When couples want to spice up their relationship, they have a few options to explore. They might try roleplaying, having sex in new places, or even bringing additional people into the bedroom. Bondage is also a popular avenue for couples looking to inject a little more excitement into their lives.
Films like 50 Shades of Grey and Secretary have brought bondage and spanking into the mainstream, but people are often reluctant to explore this avenue. People assume that bondage requires a lot of specialist equipment and toys. And if you’re quite discreet, you might not want a home full of sex toys.
So, what is the alternative? If you want to explore bondage and control play, bondage tape could offer an incredibly accessible way to do this. It is incredibly versatile, very safe (when used correctly) and also outrageously sexy. Read on to discover our tips for putting bondage tape to work in your relationship.
Bondage tape is a kind of latex tape that isn’t sticky but can stick to itself. It comes in lots of different colours and is completely reusable, provided you take care of it and store it properly after use. It doesn’t stick to skin or hair, so it’s more comfortable to wear than many rubber alternatives. It’s also very gentle on the skin. Since it has a wider surface area, it won’t pinch or chafe as some ropes can. Here are just some of the ways you can use bondage tape.
When people think about bondage tape, they think it’s only for binding, but you can also use it to create some pretty wild outfits. Since it doesn’t stick to the skin or hair, just itself, you can create skirts, thongs, bras, tops and accessories using bondage tape. You can also create items like hobble skirts that would be expensive to buy and difficult to put on under normal circumstances. But when you’re using bondage tape, you simply wrap it around – no talcum powder or wriggling required. Bondage tape is incredibly tactile and has a distinct latex smell, so you will introduce a new sensory element to your relationship.
Use bondage tape to tie up your partner and tease them until they beg you to stop. Bind hands and feet together, or use the tape to create under the bed ties and leave them spread-eagle on the bed. You could even use it to tie them to a chair or other pieces of furniture. Explore your wildest fantasies, but be sure to keep it safe. You should always have a pair of safety scissors and a safe word for any kind of bondage play.
Once your partner is tied up, you may find that certain positions are easier to achieve. Tie your partner’s wrists to their ankles and you will have incredible access and be able to go deeper than ever before. You could also restrain them to a chair or a pole for an exhilarating experience. More advanced users can explore hogties and more complex bondage ties.

Don’t want to spring for a sex chair? You can use bondage tape to create your rig that can easily be taken down and hidden out of sight when required. Tie your partner to a chair and then another roll of bondage tape to create a harness for your wand. You can also bind ordinary furniture in bondage tape to give it a BDSM vibe and strong latex small. When you’re done, simply remove the tape and wind it back up. No one will ever know that your dining chair was recently used as a sex prop.
Perhaps the best part about latex bondage tape is that it is so discreet. You can take it anywhere with you without batting an eyelid. If you’re wary about taking leather or metal restraints on holiday because of airport security, bondage tape offers a great solution. You could pack your suitcase with bondage tape in every colour and no one would be any the wiser. Take it with you for a dirty weekend away or a two-week trip abroad.
