After reading this thread, today I used the leg aspect of our underbed restraints while playing, along with my nipple clamps and a blindfold. I left my arms free as in use with plugs and g spot vibrator, but having my legs restrained definitely added a strong BDSM aspect to solo play! So a leg bar or leg cuffs are a definite recommendation!
Yeah that would definitely be recommended haha. I want to get into rope play some more too but that’s really hard to do without a partner. I have tied my legs apart and that’s it.
@WelshDragonette That sounds like so much fun! I might have to get one of those
That sounds like a fun combo. Underbed restraints seem really versatile, and people are always recommending them. would definetly buy some if i had someone who was up for being tied down. Blindfold is next on my list to buy
@AngelsFallFirst i love shibari, so beautiful, havent the foggiest how to pull it off solo sadly. Been toying with the idea of seeing if some of the decorative or around lower body stuff would work. Its getting at all the knots that seems so tricky.
@Green_Eyed_Girl Same here, it would tough to do it by yourself but I have seen some people do it. Some people make little harnesses for their upper body too with shibari rope techniques. The knots are quite tricky
@Kitty-Cat01 , Have you tried putting weights on them yet. Was playing around the other day with a few things. Trying to find some good configurations for connecting a clit/nipple clamp set to a set of cuffs with a coupke of Double ended chains. Attached the chain (which is pretty chunky to be honest) to the nipple clamps. Wow! Definitely doing that trick again.
Not yet but I love tugging on them so that’s definitely on the list of things to try. I’d like to try attaching them onto a collar or harness but with a taut chain so that any movement causes them to tug. All of the collars/ harnesses with nipple clamps that I’ve seen have had lose chains so this would involve a bit of DIY. The weight idea appeals too. You can buy weighted ones but they aren’t very pretty (my inner magpie isn’t interested!)
nothing a pair of pliers cant fix. i am going to have to shorten the chain on the nipple/clit clamp combo as its great if your a dom who wants to tease a sub by tugging on it, but too loose for what i was hoping to do with it.
Ahhh, weights! Very good for solo endurance play. Hang as much heavy duty metalwork off your nips as you can (just about) withstand, then set a timer on your phone, lean forward and keep 'em moving. Absolute bloody hell on earth!
i dont think im quite up to hanging the kitchenalia off them just yet but the extension chain was fun. have the 50 shades set with the tiny weights on it, which i like as every time you move they swing. ive got the one with the chain in the middle (which is super for solo) but i keep toying with the idea of getting the seperated ones too.
hmm. does make these look very tempting though
…oh look, even heavier ones
Now… I have opinions about that kind of clamp - the adjustable type with plastic soft-grip covers - drawn from my own experience of them.
Long story short: no matter how tight you do 'em up, the buggers fall off - and are even more likely to do so when weighted. The only clamps that really stay put are clover clamps …but they’re not adjustable. Dammit.
i dont understand why no ones invented adjustable clover clips. doesnt seem that difficult logistically from a mechanical standpoint
MY PATENT!!!
ohh, clover clamps are in the sale how usable are they. i know if you tug them they basically close all the way. can you use them less intensly?
Go on… you know you want to.
Once you’ve got them, you can experiment, can’t you. Won’t know if you don’t try!
i am going to need more storage clearly
does anyone know what would be good options for trying impact play solo. I was thinking paddle or flogger, but its not as strait forward as doing this with a Partner. Any advice?
Paddles are a good idea for breasts, inner thighs, potentially backs of the thighs and bum.
Floggers are probably best for going over your shoulder to hit your upper back. Not great for inner thighs and whilst you can get some larger ones to wrap around you to hit your bum, that does take a bit of practice to hit the right spots and not every flogger is suitable to do it.
Riding crops work pretty well in the same way paddles will but they will give you a bit more reach. Shorter ones will be easier to control, at least to start with, but the perfect length with be an individual thing.
Avoid toys like canes and whips which could do some serious damage if you don’t hit how or where you intended to.
Thanks for the super advice @Calie. Rinding crops dont massively appeal oddly, becuase theyd be something i’d buy definitely as a Dom.
I know on floggers the length of the falls make a big difference, and they always say start with shorter ones. Is this still good for what im trying?
It depends a little how and where you are going to use the flogger. All below measurements are for the length of the falls so don’t include the handle.
If you are using it on breast or inner thighs then small as possible, so under 6 inches.
If you are going over your shoulder, it will depend a little on how long your back is and how long your arms are. I would probably say between 6 and 9 inches is generally good though. 12 inches would be the maximum really.
If you are reaching back and hitting yourself on the bum, again 6 to 9 inches, although a little bigger won’t hurt. Personally, I find I can’t quite get enough power in my swing to get much out of this. If would be ok to start with but if you find yourself liking the sensation, you will need to go for a longer flogger and/or one with more falls than most of the small/medium floggers.
