			<description><![CDATA[I've been thinking about getting myself a wiffle gag for some time now. And while I like the feel of a regular (i.e. with only a strap around the neck) gag, I much prefer the added restrictivness of a harness gag. Unfortunately, I haven't really been able to find something that fits the image in my head. See also the attached image to see what I'm looking for.<br />
<br />
What I could find are models with an attached blindfold or nose-hook, but nothing that is just the harness and the wiffle ball.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know where I could find something like that? Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Yesterday as I was browsing twitter I came across a Taobao link to the store <a href="https://shop156735968.world.taobao.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">HiHiDa SelfBondage Museum</a>.<br />
<br />
The majority of the products here are standard kink related items but one of them piqued my interest as it's something I haven't seen before.<br />
<br />
The store pages <a href="https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=762106427563" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">here</a> and <a href="https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=763431321100" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">here</a> (they are the same listing) are advertised as an "SM Blind box" and offer a fully encompassing experience rather than just a product. It lays out a mystery scenario and gives you everything you need for the scenario (outfit, kink items and a task list/story) <br />
This box is based around the anime Eva and you take on the role of one of the main girls from the show. The scenario seems to include self bondage, chastity and nipple/anal stimulation but the extent and contents of the tasks are left a mystery until you get the box.<br />
One of the comments on the listing seems to imply the store will be publishing more of these in the future.<br />
<br />
Curious if anyone has seen anything like this before.<br />

<br />
The quality is ok, they even used a good zipper, which might be the last thing to break on the dress. The fabric isn't bad, I have seen thinner stuff, and it doesn't have an awful smell. And the stitching is good. There are five rings attached to each sleeve, a flimsy cloth ribbon (careful with tight knots!)  is fed through them for lacing, to bind the arms together. The ring attachments are reinforced by a ribbon that is sewn along the sleeves, so that isn't falling apart right away either.<br />
Sizing might be an issue for stronger men, it is pretty tight, including the sleeves. The turtle neck is wide enough though (I think). The turtle neck is a bit silly and slips down once you are moving your head too much, but that isn't the main feature of the dress. Oh, so far, I haven't heard that nasty sound, that you often hear while putting on fairly tight clothing - when a thread breaks.<br />
<br />
Using the dress is almost straight forward for selfbondage. The lacing has to be quite lose to operate the zipper. That means, you have to undo three rings on each sleeve. Once wearing the dress, you refit the lace and start pulling on the ends simultaneously while moving the shoulders back and pulling the arms together. There is a point where you cannot pull out more of the lacing, and that is when you have to get creative. I finished with a bow tie (not sure, if that is the correct wording here, it is a double knot and you can pull at the ends to open the second one, just like on shoes). The second idea was to tie a single knot and then tie my wrists together with the remaining strips.<br />
<br />
The dress itself is not remotely escape proof (i.e. probably easy to tear), but I like the idea. A while ago, I had tried the rope version of an armbinder, with little success. Arms were actually tied up, but way too lose! The dress does the job more effectively, and you once the lacing is tight, there is a lot of spare rope (or rather flimsy cloth ribbon) that can be used to tie the wrists together.<br />
<br />
Would I buy it again? Probably not, because I consider finding another suitable garment with long sleeves and alter it in a similar (probably also stronger) way.]]></description>

			<dc:creator><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/member.php?action=profile&uid=17002">Lancer</a>]]></dc:creator>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread-Bondage-webbing-master-hogtie-review</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Bought a few days ago, arrived today and tested today. Time for the review. Accidentally deleted my first one so this is a bit more terse. Bought the master hogtie, a 1.75 inch trainer ball gag and a locking wrist loop<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Before arrival: Alex is amazing, answers your questions and quickly. Also averted my comical mistake of needing the delivery in 7 days but the range of time is 5-7 for making it, she delivered in 2 days which is very fast. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Packaging: arrived in the usual usps bag with two smaller bags inside, everything was neatly rolled and packaged but it was a bit confusing with so many parts. No complaints here. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fitting: yeah I fucked up on this one, not critically so but still. I got wrist loop size in small when I should have gotten large or even extra large. If you plan on buying this do check the wrist loop sizing chart on the wrist loop page, my blunder was that I thought the less then 12 inch length was for one wrist when it was for two. Dumb mistake but I can get a replacement for 30 dollars. <br />
<br />
The shoulder and ankle loops are adjustable and so getting a perfect fit is a lot easier, if you are toeing the line between sizes get the bigger one, it will be more comfortable. <br />
<br />
For the men don't get the 3 inch ring, is it quite frankly too large and won't fit as well, go with the 2 inch or different style. I got a modification for an adjustable buckled on both sides which was very neat though. <br />
<br />
When Alex says that you need to trim and burn the ends she is not saying that out of looks or anything. She put straps so long that Shrek could probably fit in, if you had the same vertical dimensions as me but were shaped like a ball it would fit you. The strap are quite ridiculously long, I still won't trim them but that is just because I am gaining a lot of muscle mass and losing weight and any fit I do probably won't fit by the end of the week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How does it feel?: starting off with the gag it feels perfectly fine for the most part, strap and ball are normal, the darlex behaves like a stretchy sheet of fabric, very soft and comfortable on the nose but has a bad habit of being smushed together near the mouth, after putting it on I would recommend manually adjusting the darlex a bit, also this is not unexpected but the 2 darlex strips near your nose while comfortable do block a bit of your vision, it gets somewhat annoying at times. This depends on the shape of your face though. If your face is longer this is less likely to be a problem, however having a shorter face works against me in this case. The fitting is very adjustable and you can get it to be a lot tighter and more comfortable.<br />
<br />
The harness itself is a bit messy there are a lot of straps and when hanging it will be difficult to tell which is which, check the ring locations when in doubt. Still it does at times feel like strap spaghetti. When all is properly placed and fitted it is very fast to put on and take off, needing only seconds for release. Also I would wear clothing that covers most of limbs, strap burn is real and the straps are neither soft or stretchy, they will leave a mark if you struggle without clothing or padding. <br />
<br />
Once all the straps and stuff are in but before the hogtie begins the kit is very comfortable yet restrictive. If ignoring some circumstantial problems and I could work from home at a computer or if I was just scrolling I would consider just wearing it for some everyday bondage, the gag would have to be ditched due to affecting vision though.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The procedure pt1: easy enough, while standing put you head between the two straps on the body harness and just let it drape over your chest and back, connect the two tails of the harness. Sit down on the side of the bed. Check to make sure it is the right side up and the right direction, the receiving buckles are in front and when paired with the input buckle the tightening strap is on the outside. <br />
<br />
While sitting you just attach the 3 straps that go on the legs in the appropriate positions and tighten, then you need to put on the ankle strap, place it on as tight a possible. Check to make sure the upper knee and ankle strap have the correct buckle orientation or else it won't work properly. The lip of the buckle should point towards your center rather then away from you. The upper knee strap is a little shit as it will often try to slip closer to your knees or just fall down. Also attach the wrist strap to the upper knee strap at this point, it will save you a lot of time later.<br />
<br />
After this step just connect the straps on the body harness while making sure they aren't twisted and are paired correctly the two upper strap go past your arms too, once tightened as much as possible just unbuckle all but the stomach one which is not paired to the other side and lift it up and out, this way it is convenient to reapply but it needs to temporarily be off. <br />
<br />
Follow the guide on attaching the yoking harness, shoulder thingies and strap. <br />
<br />
The next step is going to be a point of no return for movement range so you need to apply your gag and any other real adjustment at this point. Also pole everything right besides the middle of where you will lie down<br />
<br />
Now you gotta pick the body harness and put it back on and buckle everything, at this point your upper arm freedom is greatly reduced, now go to the spot you chose and lie down, it can be as close as right behind you. <br />
<br />
Getting into the hogtie: once you fit everything and everything is in place it is time to do the hogtie part innit? This is where the process goes from smooth ride to oh shit of fuck what is happening. Mostly due to strap quantity and lower dexterity behind yourself. At this point if you did everything right there should be no hidden surprises as there were for me. <br />
<br />
Just connect the head strap and shoulder strap to the ankle buckles this will be annoying as attaching the buckle behind your back is quite confusing. Once that is done the fun begins, you just gotta start pulling, first go with the head strap as it is more annoying, arch your back as far as you can comfortably do and bend your head back as far as possible, not comfortable, emphasis on possible, it feels better.<br />
<br />
 Then after strapping your head in you are on a bit of a time crunch to tighten the shoulder straps as hogtieing yourself by the head is not pleasant, tighten as much as possible and squeeze your arms and wiggle around to tighten more, don't however expect it to be as tight as the photos on bondage webbing, you can't do that unless you are very very strong you won't be able to overcome the resistance on your thighs and ankles to bending. The final nail is that in the image the buckles are past the area your hands can reach while armbindered. No way without external help which I find a bit dishonest of BW/Alex. If you can prove me wrong you get to shame me for it but otherwise that is impossible. <br />
<br />
After this point it is really just about getting into the wrist restraints which I have chronically undersized. It wasn't comfortable or that restrictive but that is the price of not measuring properly. Hopefully with a properly sized on it just tightens and the hogtie is complete. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Is it worth it/would I reccomend: First things first the kit is expensive, 400 dollars is a huge amount of money to drop on what is a very situational and very limited item. In raw material terms the kit is definitely overpriced compared to Chinese made bondage stuff. I would counter that if you enjoy bondage and don't mind doing the same position this is all you really will ever need, it is strict enough that the only way to surpass it would probably be a vacuum bed or getting a partner to tie you up, if you can get a partner to tie you up just get them to tighten the hogtied and whatever they do will probably be outmatched. <br />
<br />
I personally justify it as cost/time/risk saving. The only thing I will ever need from now on to buy for sexual purposes would just be clothes, vibrator and chastity/urethral play. That has basically permanently capped my spending for bdsm, assuming on the lower end that I spend 100 on each (decent maid outfit/hush 2/tetherspout kit)that means that with 300 or so dollars more my bdsm journey stops. No need for further expansion or spending as you already reached peak, only the costs of replacing old parts really. <br />
<br />
It saves me significant time as well, I checked and I spent around 30 minutes getting in after setup and it took less then 7 minutes to get out the first time. Even without considering the speed from experience this already cuts down on the time I spent during prep and cleanup by over 60%, meaning that I could reasonably do a daily session in an hour or less. Sacrificing one hour of sleep is significantly easier. <br />
<br />
Risk saving is the most vague but has to be considered. The chances of this having a critical error and not releasing are very low considering it's just buckles. Far safer then knots or rope harnesses or stuff like that. Another consideration for me personally is that it cuts down on storage space. Currently my entire kit occupies about a backpacks worth, this includes a very large bag of rope and equally large assortment of bondage gear.  Post today I need a quarter of the room. The bottom of one of the bags is good enough. This means that in the event of a purge(sudden dislike of bondage, not the movie) or a moving I could just place everything in a large plastic bag, shove it in the bottom of the main bag and just fill the rest of the bag with random tech items. The risk of being outed goes from far too high to very low. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In summary. Would I recommend ? If you agree with the points raised above and have the money to spare and are ok with doing the same position a bunch of times I would say go for it ! If not you probably shouldn't. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Image aspect is really shitty, I was too close to the camera and I had to crop a lot of garbage background but here you go. Next time remind me to shoot landscape and not 1 foot away from camera<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bought a few days ago, arrived today and tested today. Time for the review. Accidentally deleted my first one so this is a bit more terse. Bought the master hogtie, a 1.75 inch trainer ball gag and a locking wrist loop<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Before arrival: Alex is amazing, answers your questions and quickly. Also averted my comical mistake of needing the delivery in 7 days but the range of time is 5-7 for making it, she delivered in 2 days which is very fast. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Packaging: arrived in the usual usps bag with two smaller bags inside, everything was neatly rolled and packaged but it was a bit confusing with so many parts. No complaints here. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fitting: yeah I fucked up on this one, not critically so but still. I got wrist loop size in small when I should have gotten large or even extra large. If you plan on buying this do check the wrist loop sizing chart on the wrist loop page, my blunder was that I thought the less then 12 inch length was for one wrist when it was for two. Dumb mistake but I can get a replacement for 30 dollars. <br />
<br />
The shoulder and ankle loops are adjustable and so getting a perfect fit is a lot easier, if you are toeing the line between sizes get the bigger one, it will be more comfortable. <br />
<br />
For the men don't get the 3 inch ring, is it quite frankly too large and won't fit as well, go with the 2 inch or different style. I got a modification for an adjustable buckled on both sides which was very neat though. <br />
<br />
When Alex says that you need to trim and burn the ends she is not saying that out of looks or anything. She put straps so long that Shrek could probably fit in, if you had the same vertical dimensions as me but were shaped like a ball it would fit you. The strap are quite ridiculously long, I still won't trim them but that is just because I am gaining a lot of muscle mass and losing weight and any fit I do probably won't fit by the end of the week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How does it feel?: starting off with the gag it feels perfectly fine for the most part, strap and ball are normal, the darlex behaves like a stretchy sheet of fabric, very soft and comfortable on the nose but has a bad habit of being smushed together near the mouth, after putting it on I would recommend manually adjusting the darlex a bit, also this is not unexpected but the 2 darlex strips near your nose while comfortable do block a bit of your vision, it gets somewhat annoying at times. This depends on the shape of your face though. If your face is longer this is less likely to be a problem, however having a shorter face works against me in this case. The fitting is very adjustable and you can get it to be a lot tighter and more comfortable.<br />
<br />
The harness itself is a bit messy there are a lot of straps and when hanging it will be difficult to tell which is which, check the ring locations when in doubt. Still it does at times feel like strap spaghetti. When all is properly placed and fitted it is very fast to put on and take off, needing only seconds for release. Also I would wear clothing that covers most of limbs, strap burn is real and the straps are neither soft or stretchy, they will leave a mark if you struggle without clothing or padding. <br />
<br />
Once all the straps and stuff are in but before the hogtie begins the kit is very comfortable yet restrictive. If ignoring some circumstantial problems and I could work from home at a computer or if I was just scrolling I would consider just wearing it for some everyday bondage, the gag would have to be ditched due to affecting vision though.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The procedure pt1: easy enough, while standing put you head between the two straps on the body harness and just let it drape over your chest and back, connect the two tails of the harness. Sit down on the side of the bed. Check to make sure it is the right side up and the right direction, the receiving buckles are in front and when paired with the input buckle the tightening strap is on the outside. <br />
<br />
While sitting you just attach the 3 straps that go on the legs in the appropriate positions and tighten, then you need to put on the ankle strap, place it on as tight a possible. Check to make sure the upper knee and ankle strap have the correct buckle orientation or else it won't work properly. The lip of the buckle should point towards your center rather then away from you. The upper knee strap is a little shit as it will often try to slip closer to your knees or just fall down. Also attach the wrist strap to the upper knee strap at this point, it will save you a lot of time later.<br />
<br />
After this step just connect the straps on the body harness while making sure they aren't twisted and are paired correctly the two upper strap go past your arms too, once tightened as much as possible just unbuckle all but the stomach one which is not paired to the other side and lift it up and out, this way it is convenient to reapply but it needs to temporarily be off. <br />
<br />
Follow the guide on attaching the yoking harness, shoulder thingies and strap. <br />
<br />
The next step is going to be a point of no return for movement range so you need to apply your gag and any other real adjustment at this point. Also pole everything right besides the middle of where you will lie down<br />
<br />
Now you gotta pick the body harness and put it back on and buckle everything, at this point your upper arm freedom is greatly reduced, now go to the spot you chose and lie down, it can be as close as right behind you. <br />
<br />
Getting into the hogtie: once you fit everything and everything is in place it is time to do the hogtie part innit? This is where the process goes from smooth ride to oh shit of fuck what is happening. Mostly due to strap quantity and lower dexterity behind yourself. At this point if you did everything right there should be no hidden surprises as there were for me. <br />
<br />
Just connect the head strap and shoulder strap to the ankle buckles this will be annoying as attaching the buckle behind your back is quite confusing. Once that is done the fun begins, you just gotta start pulling, first go with the head strap as it is more annoying, arch your back as far as you can comfortably do and bend your head back as far as possible, not comfortable, emphasis on possible, it feels better.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[What is your go to shop for high quality ballgags/head harnesses?<br />
<br />
There was this german online shop, marlons.de, that had <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">amazing</span> ballgags and harnesses at affordable prices.<br />
<br />
Perfect, shiny silicon ballgag (in multiple colors and sizes), soft, but durable leather straps and very good craftmanship overall.<br />
<br />
I still have my first one and aside from some wear on the leather straps, it's still in very good condition and my favourite ballgag harness. The silicone ball is as good as new.<br />
<br />
Modelstied regularly used them in their shoots. (I just shot them an email, maybe they have a lead.)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the shop had to close, "temporarily" as they stated, but they never re-opened.<br />
Still kicking myself that I never bought a spare and their panel gag as well when I could.<br />
<br />
I have since tried several shops, but most of them just resell chinese imports at obscene markups (looking at you, sub-shop.com).<br />
<br />
Got several from aliexpress myself and while some are, well, functional, some <a href="https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread-Whatever-I-find-on-ali-for-the-day?pid=54054#pid54054" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">fit terribly</a>, and most are way to flimsy, e.g. only have a single strap going to the back of the head (seriously, just use an inverted Y-shape, it's not rocket science!), and most importantly, regularly top out at 42 mm, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">maybe </span>48 mm ball sizes (mine is 52 mm and just for science I would love to try 60 mm).<br />
<br />
Alternatives I am considering are the ones sold by Restricted Senses. They go up to 54 mm and the build quality looks fine, even if the straps look very thin (considering that Mina is petite and the straps look thin even on her).<br />
Big <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">YIKES!</span> on the price though, it would be close to EUR 150 with shipping and customs.<br />

<br />
Recently purchased a simple ballgag from <a href="https://www.mchurt.eu/de/unser-onlineshop/mcsilence/ballknebel-aus-silikon/silikon-ballknebel-pink.html?c=844" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">McHurt</a> to check the quality.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
The leather is very soft and the silicone ball is a bit softer than I am used to as well, but it's very comfortable. Downside (for me, it's a pet peeve I have) is the hole in the ball is circular and the soft strap rolls up going through. I prefer slits that keep the strap "in place".<br />
<br />
There is an upside though: you can buy different gags/harnesses with different ball sizes and mix &amp; match them easily. Unfortunately, the head harnesses are not very aesthetically pleasing for my taste and the side straps going close to/over the ears seems also to be a bad design choice. Again: just 👏 use 👏 an 👏 inverted 👏 Y-shape.<br />
<br />

<br />
Also, the strap has a "smokey" smell (from the curing process?) that somehow rubbed off on the ball when stored in a ziploc.<br />
<br />
Any other good stores worth checking out?]]></description>

I have seen this shop a while ago and finally bought the armbinder. I didn't before, because I have a similar armbinder from oxbondage. That armbinder, however, never really worked in selfbondage, so I decided to try another one.<br />
<br />
The buying process went smooth and a few days later, i got the parcel. I am not an expert, but the leather looks fine to me. The outside is shiny, the inside smooth, as one would expect from leather. Unlike the oxbondage armbinder, this one comes with buckled straps for more variance in length. And I think, I can take advantage of this design for selfbondage as well, as I will explain later.<br />
<br />
The armbinder is not custom sized, but comes in various sizes (see website). So I took my measurements according to the instructions and got a nice fit*, not as tight as the oxbondage armbinder. For the first try, I simply set the straps to a length that seemed right and found, that I can enter my arms without undoing the lace. Of course, I got them out easily as well. Then I slowly tightened the straps on each try, until I just got in (and out).<br />
<br />
Usually, such an armbinder is not suitable for selfbondage, because you cannot put it on properly. And if you could, you shouldn't be able to get out of it without severe violence, a dislocated shoulder or worse (or even your neighbours help). So it requires a few tricks. <br />
<br />
Over the next few days, I have to find a reliable way to make the monoglove both secure and escapable. For me, that means, that I can't simply get out, but need to take some specific action (like finding a hook on the wall to pull on a string). My first principle for restraints is: When it hurts (the wrong way), it must come off immediately.<br />
<br />
I will convert one buckle to self-engaging. I have done this before and I hope, I can find my images from that post.<br />
Here it is:<br />

<br />
The red thing is a strong rubber band. It will cause the pin to catch on the strap, and if there is a hole, it will go in (or be pushed sideways by the rivet). It is a bit iffy, but with experience, it will work quite reliable. I will use this to be able to tighten the strap of one arm. The other one should be tight enough when I put the glove on. The only other requirements for this to work is a string on the end of the strap, and the strap cannot go through the ring, which usualle comes after the buckle.<br />
<br />
For the release, I have a few ideas. One is to have another string on the rubber band, so I can destroy it by pulling. Then the pin won't automatically catch, when the strap is pulled.<br />
Another idea is to have something like a plastic card on a fixed point, that I can get in between the strap and the pin. I like this idea, because it only requires one string, or even no string, if I can reach the strap with my teeth (not tried yet). And it also means, that I have to get to that card for release. Of course, I don't know, wether this will work or not.<br />
<br />
I will update this, once I have made some experiments.<br />
<br />
Actually, I started this post to tell you, that you can really buy a reasonable armbinder for around 100 €. I hope, that came accross.<br />
<br />
* nice fit means, that it is fairly long above the elbows, gets the elbows almost together and leaves enough space for the arms to reach the shoulders. Therefore, it really fits like a glove in the literal sense, and there are no nasty pressure points.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
Just a question, which there may well be a quick and easy answer to. There are tons of bondage shops online, but is there one that specialises in Self Bondage?<br />
<br />
I've seen quite a few posts about people making their own bits and pieces, but with the exception of an Ice Lock made by Mr S Leather, I can't find anyone making Self Bondage items.<br />
<br />
Am I not looking properly, or is it because it's dangerous, and you'd be sued if someone used it incorrectly etc?<br />
<br />
Surely there are people out there (like me) who are not very handy or don't have a garage or workshop to make things and would love to click away merrily online and have something delivered (like that Ice lock) that will do the job...?<br />
<br />
Appreciate any thoughts or views.<br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>
