Beginner bondage gear that won’t terrify you

You don’t need a dungeon. You need a soft blindfold and a $45 strap kit.

Start with a blindfold

Lowest stakes. Highest return on novelty. A soft eye mask removes one sense and your brain fills in the rest.

Lovehoney Plush Eye Mask

PinkCherry · $12 · 4.3/5

Soft, comfortable, cheap. The "starter blindfold" that doesn’t feel cheesy.

Restraints without a bedframe

The Sportsheets system slips under your mattress. No installation, nothing to attach to a bedpost.

The one I tell everyone to start with.

Sportsheets Under-the-Bed Restraint System

PinkCherry · $45 · 4.5/5

Slips under the mattress. No bedframe needed. Easy "store and ignore" between uses.

A wedge is bondage-adjacent and great

Not strictly bondage, but lives in the same drawer. Foam positioning pillow that just… works.

Liberator Wedge

PinkCherry · $89 · 4.6/5

Foam positioning pillow. Not strictly bondage — but it lives in this drawer.
