Hello everybody,
kinda stumbled across this thread while googling for "selfbondage armbinder".
I am kinda late to the conversation, but i still feel like i should add my informations/experiences on this.
Some years ago i bought this
armbinder on ebay.
Getting into the armbinder was pretty much how you would imagine it to be done with a zipper:
I inserted my right arm into the opened armbinder and then used my left arm to pull the right strap over my should (crossing over my chest).
Then i used a rope on the other strap to pull this one onto my other shoulder with a door handle.
Then i attach the string, which is allrdy attached to the zipper slider, to the door handle, insert my left arm into the armbinder and pull away from the door while facing it.
Closing it was quite easy, the only problem i had at my first tries was to keep the slider from sliding down because of the strain on both sides of it. But soon found out that i only had to use something high enough to push onto the zipper slider from above (pushing the small metal half-ring down to "lock" the slider).
After finding this little detail, the zipper never opened up without me wanting it to.
To open up the armbinder i just sat on the attached string (which was just long enough to hang a little lower than my ass) and pulled my arms upwards.
Sometimes it happened that the slider got stuck after opening some centimeters, but after some struggling and pulling it always opened up.
Problem was: The zipper itself broke after around a year while opening it.
The strain of opening the zipper while my elbows automatically apply pressure to both sides eventually broke one of the small metal parts of the zipper away, and by that the zipper would always open up when i reached that point when pulling the slider up.
Since this happened once, i didnt bother ordering the same armbinder again.
So i searched the internet and eventually came across
this one.
The woman even has a video featuring her using that armbinder in selfbondage. You can find that video on boundhub with the search terms "armbiner selfbondage" (yes, it is
armbiner. Not a missspelling on my side), should be the first entry.
So far i didnt buy it because i dont want to spend this amount of money for something i have to measure myself while being tied (or calculate the measurements while only measuring one arm).
But now that i read your "experiment" going this fine, i may think about this one again.
Also just gonna leave the link of it here if any of you want to try it.
Also found
this one just today.
My plan with this one is kind of to use ropes attached to both shoulder straps to pull the armbinder up my arms and then onto my shoulders.
If that doesnt work, then i would try to insert one arm into it and one should strap onto my shoulder and then use the rope on the other shoulder strap to insert my other arm into the armbinder while pulling the strap up.
I tried both ways with the broken zipper armbinder today and both kind of worked. (it should be easuer with this one, because the shoulder straps are attached to one single point in the middle and then go over the shoulders to the outside of the binder. While the other armbinder has them go from the outside to the outside, making it hard to pull them over the shoulders. But i could also be totally wrong here)
So it should work if i buy this one in XL (depending on their shown measurement i could use XL and L, while L would be much tighter)
So i will probably buy this one in like a month or so. (kind of short on money at the moment) 😁
Have a great evening 😊
