Perhaps you’ve dabbled in bondage, but you want to try something else. Maybe you love playing in the shower, but you’re ready to add something special to the mix. It’s possible that you will find yourself in a private pool or hot tub soon, and you want to make sure the experience is memorable as possible. No matter what your situation includes, if bondage is a-okay with both you and your partner, sexy suction cup restraints could be on the menu.
Unlike standard bondage cuffs, most suction cup bondage cuffs were designed for use in aquatic environments. Many leather bondage cuffs will become damaged (and feel quite “unsexy”, truth be told!) if left in the water for a long time.
However, most suction cup cuffs are made from neoprene material and fasten with Velcro to be perfect for underwater adventures!
Since the “bondage point” is built right in (the suction cups!), you just need a flat surface, and you’ll be ready to start playing with bondage right away.
Ready to make the most of your sexy suction cup restraints? Here are some tips and suggestions to help you enjoy them to their fullest potential!
Pick Your Suction Cup Restraints Surface Wisely
This is a bit of trial and error as each “suction cup” has its own unique sticking rules, but figure out what type of surface your suction cup cuffs enjoy sticking to.
As a rule of thumb, most of these suction cup bondage cuffs stick best to a flat, glossy surface. If there’s any texture, it may not stick as well. It works best if there aren’t any breaks or uneven surfaces underneath the suction cup as well.
Make sure to push your suction cup firmly against the surface to allow it to adhere to the surface.
For removal, most suction cups come with a small “tab” that you can pull up, and it will help break the seal between the suction cup and the surface. Alternatively, you can do anything that will break the seal between the two, so you could try sliding a butter knife between the cuffs and the wall as well.
Explore Non-Water Environments
Anywhere with a flat surface will allow you to use your fun suction cup cuffs. Why stick to just the bathroom and other water environments? Most kitchens are equipped with flat tiles or kitchen counters. Try having sex while the wrists are restrained on the kitchen counter.
Of course, safety first, so make sure the restrained partner is completely stable as they won’t be able to catch themselves if they’re falling.
Use Them On Each Other
Did you know that you can turn any set of suction cup “handcuffs” into a set of handcuffs?
Simply press the suction cups onto one another! In most suction cup restraint sets, this will cause the suction cups to fasten to one another.
Fair warning, though: this one can be pretty difficult to undo! Have long fingernails or keys nearby to wedge between the suction cups to release them!
Suction Cup Restraint the Ankles
Most suction cup bondage cuffs use flexible Velcro to fasten them. That means that their sizing is adjustable. With that in mind, why are you only using them on the wrists? Don’t have a good reason, huh? While you might need to get creative to come up with great ways to use the cuffs on the ankles, it’s going to be a blast.
Partner It with Other Toys
Suction cup bondage cuffs aren’t the only suction cup sex toys available. If the idea of making more of your toys waterproof for play with your cuffs sounds appealing, consider looking into suction cup dildos, suction cup thigh cuffs, or suction cup collars. They all will allow even more fun alongside your suction cup bondage restraints.
Suction Cup Restraints Safety
Of course, all of these suggestions should be taken with the utmost care. Remember that, when someone is bound, they may not be able to catch themselves if they fall. In a wet surface like a shower, it’s very, very important that you ensure you and your partner have a good standing arrangement to ensure everyone’s safety.
Before playing, please also agree upon a “safe word” that, if spoken, will end all sexual activity because something is wrong. This will allow you both to relax and not worry about accidental miscommunication.
Are you ready to try out new things with your sexy suction cup bondage cuffs? I hope so! Whether you want to explore with your long-term partner or have one of the Babes of London waiting for you, bondage can be a new way to enhance the intimacy between the two of you. Keep your eyes open towards new adventures and keep an open mind as you both explore some of the fun things that bondage cuffs have to offer!
