The Inflatable Bondage Chair is a product made by Pipedream Products intended to inflate, be used as a chair, and restrain your partner all at the same time. The kit comes with a free blindfold (which actually works pretty awesomely), a PVC-hole repair kit along with the glue, and the uninflated chair itself. The kit does not come with an air pump although Pipedream Products does sell one if you’re interested. The entire thing comes in a pretty-small box in which the chair can be flattened and stored in for storage if need be.
I wasn’t awake when the boyfriend blew it up, but I know that after I woke up, he said it had taken him a very, very long time. At this chair is about as tall as my 6-foot boyfriend’s waist, it’s definitely a large chair. I’d imagine it must have taken him at least a half-hour, and he didn’t finish blowing it up at that point either. He got is mostly blown up then came back later to spend about five minutes putting the final air into the thing.
The chair is definitely neat. It’s made of black PVC and holds up to 300 pounds. Since most couples, weight combined, probably go over 300 pounds this is not a chair where you can really have some rough sex. For the most part, it’s a one-person only chair. In fact, most plus-size women would actually be able to use this. (The restraints are big enough for bigger wrists and ankles too.)
The restraints seemed to be sewn into the chair itself in a circle-like formation against the chair. It may be melted on honestly – I don’t know much about PVC. The PVC-restraints are then just regular pieces of PVC with pieces of velcro actually sewn onto the cuff. It seems to be just one layer of stitching throughout the entire outer edges of the cuff. It seems to work fine, and though we’ve had some of the stitching start to come off, it doesn’t look like any more of it is going to cause any problem for us. The restraints are positioned at the upper arm near the elbow, the wrist, and the ankle. All three restraints seemed to be sized pretty reasonably, and I’d say that you could most likely be able to fit a vast majority of sizes into this. Should honestly fit anyone who’s weight is underneath the 300 pound limit. The restraints are positioned pretty nicely, and despite Jor being mostly arms and legs and having very long limbs, they all still fit him really perfectly.
When seated in the chair, if it’s not blown completely up, it’s pretty roll-y pole-y. It means you can comfortably do some little circles by shifting your weight, and if you aren’t careful, you most likely could tip the chair. Even when it’s fully inflated it’s a slight problem – not as much of a problem, but still a small one. If sand or weights had been included in the bottom of the chair, that probably would have helped balance it, but honestly, I’m not complaining. When the person is seated in the chair, they also have to lean back and slouch a bit for it to be comfortable. You can sit up straight, but the restraints pull a little bit more against your body if you don’t slouch and work “with” them instead of working “against” them.
When seated in the chair, Jor pulled quite a bit against the restraints, and they still stayed sealed onto the chair pretty impressively. While being attached to it, he can also sit up and walk away, but it’s some pretty awkward walking honestly – I doubt someone would really get that far without being told to “sit”. The velcro also held firm on the cuffs despite rough play with the chair. The velcro didn’t come undone or let out his wrists. When seated in the chair, if the chair moves, it does make PVC-against-PVC rubbing sounds, but it’s not that big of a deal. It’s not something you could do without someone on another side of a closed door hearing, but it’s really not something that will bother your playtime.
Jor found the chair to be pretty comfortable. The straps seemed to go in the right places, and they did end up holding him down pretty well where he couldn’t get out. If the chair is fully deflated, unless he pulls his wrists out of the cuffs, he can’t actively undo the restraints with his hands. The chair can get a little uncomfortable if you are nude sitting on it because the skin will stick to the PVC.
So now you have this inflatable bondage chair that is sorta roll-y pole-y and you can’t actively have sex on it. What in the world are you going to do with it? Well, for one, try to remember that you don’t actually have to use all of the restraints – or any of them for that matter. The chair can be used a couple different ways – for one, the restrained person can receive oral sex from the other partner. This would work well for both genders though I’d imagine it’d be easier if a male was restrained. If the restrained leans back and lets the back-pillow supports support them, the person could also be “forced” to give oral sex as well because I sincerely doubt they’d be able to lean themselves forward with a crotch in the face. This position does get uncomfortable very quickly though, but it’s just submission part that may get some people off.
So non-oral sex – what can you do? Well, if a female is restrained, they could edge their butt to the edge of the seat and the guy could kneel down and take them with the female’s ankles up on his shoulders. Because of the height of the chair, this would actually be a pretty comfortable position to pull off. However, the chair is slightly roll-y pole-y (in love with that word today), so shove it up against the wall or use the rolling off the chair to your advantage. The male could be restrained in the same position for some anal sex play as well which may increase his pleasure because being taken like that is a very submissive position. (Again)
So non-intercourse, what can you do? Well, for one, the chair is waterproof. With just a warm washcloth wiping it down, an outside hose-down, or shoving it in the shower (we may or may not have done this….), this can be used for wet play. This would include watersports, food play, lots of lubricant or whatever else your heart desires. There’s no worry about making a mess on your furniture if you use this instead.
So just fun-wise, I have a blast strapping Jor to it then pretending I was going to be nice before tipping him over. It’s extra-amusing because once you are strapped to it, it’s extremely hard to get the chair to flip right-side up without having your limbs free. Something like that could be done for teasing or just for sadistic pleasure.
Really though, the point I’m attempting to get across is that, while the chair make not work for plain intercourse in regular positions, there are tons of ways that it can work otherwise if you use your imagination. It’s a great way to increase the feeling of submission while still being discreet and something that can be deflated and placed in storage for later playdates. It’s waterproof, so it can be used for wet play, and really, if you wanted to, it could even be used as an extra chair if you run out of seating places. To keep the chair from tipping over, just place it up against a strong object like a bed or up against the wall. Really though, it’s a pretty awesome chair if you’re on a budget.
