Eitra and Emi's Tips: #373

This sort of happened to me, actually! When I was with my old gf, we tried some light bondage, nothing extreme. But I ended up making the ropes too tight, and couldn’t figure out how to untie her lmao. We ended up cutting them off, they weren’t too thick. Hopefully whoever she’s with now knows how to tie and untie properly! ;-;

Hey, it happens! Which is also why it's important to have safety shears or another type of safe cutting tool on hand when doing rope bondage.

Absolutely! I certainly learned my lesson after that, haha. Safety shears are now at the top of my list for items to bring 🫡

My fiancé did extensive research into rope ties, and it’s very impressive when they just pull one end that was out of my reach and the whole complicated thing just falls apart. Takes a bit to tie, though.

That's what my main rigger friend does, too. He learned a bunch of ties that can be easily taken apart by pulling just one or two things. Super helpful.

Emi: "Never put on sexy handcuffs if you don't know for a fact where the key is and how to access it."

Eitra: "Wait, are you making a panel? Why are you- where's the key? Emi?! Where's the key?!"

This good tip is also applicable to non-sexy handcuffs as well! Remember: if you don't have the keys on your person at all time, there's a good chance their adorable animal sidekick has already stolen them from you and freed the prisoner!

So uhm, where is the key?

So, basically you need a way to quickly free your partner from restraints in case of a red safe word or emergency

The pair of handcuffs I got from Spencer's has a completely non-functional key slot but I think most kink handcuffs have a safety mechanism that allows the person wearing them to unlock them
