Emily's Ultimate Guide to Bondage & Restraints
Decide who’s being tied down, and who’s doing the tying.
Restraints are all about kinky power exchange, so to avoid confusion, talk in advance about who’s doing the tying, and who’s being tied down.

Look for security and comfort.
Whether it’s leather restraints, fuzzy handcuffs or something else, look for restraints that do a good job of keeping wrists and/or ankles in place while not chafing.
