Low-key BDSM: Trying Light Bondage for the First Time

Our light bondage ideas are perfect for those who don’t really know where to start. Maybe it’s something you’ve seen in a film or an erotic video, maybe you’ve been discussing the idea with a friend, or you could even have certain fantasies that you’d love to fulfill. 


We say, diving into the world of unknown pleasure, when consensual and arousing, is the quintessential of being alive.


With that we’re here to educate and guide you on your new path. From definitions, to accessories for light bondage, bondage fashion ideas, and more, let’s get into it!


What is Light Bondage?

Light bondage, which falls under the spectrum of BDSM, includes feeling light sexual sensations that you may not have otherwise felt before. It’s when you dabble into submission and restraints during intimacy with a partner.


There are many ways to engage in light bondage, and will depend on how you and your partner choose to enjoy it. It can range from using a BDSM spreader bar, using blindfolds or earplugs, or gentle/playful restraints, like handcuffs, for example.


At this point, you may be wondering if light bondage should include some form of pain. No! Light bondage can be experienced without pain. If one is restrained, there could be an element of pain, light or other, such as light spanking. 


But it could also be solely based on soft elements of touch, like using a feather tickler to tease a partner, for example. 


So, what is light BDSM then? Well, BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism. BDSM is the umbrella term under which ‘bondage’ falls under. So, practising light bondage would still encompass the BDSM lifestyle. 


It does not mean that you need to engulf the term entirely, as many rarely do. In this way, we hope that you don’t feel overwhelmed, feeling as though you have to experience hardcore BDSM in its entirety. This is really not the case.


We’re here to tell you that even a light bondage technique, like using a blindfold, is just as valid in the BDSM world as using a mouth gag or being having your body bound in its entirety. Start slow, and simply take a little adventure into the world of light bondage to see how you like it!

Accessories for Light Bondage for Couples

Now that you’re more in-the-know about light bondage and light BDSM practices, it’s time to get into some of the accessories that may get your pulse racing.


These accessories for light bondage are perfect for beginner couples. Taking a little gander through them may give you an idea of what you may want to try… and what may not tickle your fancy!


Blindfolds for Light Bondage

Using a blindfold may not seem like an accessory for bondage, but it really is. Why? Because it takes away the element of sight, which is giving up a sense of control. This also heightens your other senses, making every sound, smell, taste, and sensation even more intense and blissful.


The Shh Blindfold is a sensual light bondage accessory that’s made of soft satin, and feels incredible on the skin. It allows the submissive partner to sit back and feel all of the sexy sensations, such as being massaged, kissed, or fondled, with the added sense of surprise and lust.

Maze Wide Cuffs for Light Bondage

Want to lead a double life? The MAZE Wide Cuffs are not just a sensual piece of equipment to use in the bedroom, but also have chains that can be removed, making it a piece of bondage fashion. 


For your light bondage adventures however, you can either handcuff a partner’s wrists together, or restrain one wrist while the other cuff is attached to a sturdy surface. This leaves both the wearer’s wrists in close proximity to each other, so the more dominant partner has more control to do some seriously exciting things.

Frou Frou Organza Handcuffs for Light Bondage

Sitting pretty, the Frou Frou Organza Handcuffs will take you straight back to the Victorian era. It’s made of gorgeous organza material, coupled with the softness of satin, making it a rich sensory experience for the wearer.


Because these handcuffs are made so delicately and brim with sheer beauty, you’ll not only feel more confident and gorgeous, you’ll also be able to engage in light bondage with a trusted partner. The composition of the amazing softness on your skin while indulging in a different kind of play is something that’s hard to match.

Maze T-Restraints for Light Bondage

Add an extra layer to your light bondage exploration with the MAZE T-Restraints. These handcuffs come with an additional leash, so it’s going just a small step further into the world of light bondage, as your partner could hold onto the leash.


Wearing these T-shaped restraints has the power to awaken a new sensuality within you. They’re beautifully designed, yes, but they’re also a way for couples to deepen their light bondage play, and really take on a role of light submission and domination.

Bondage Style & Light Bondage Wear

Having taken a look at some light bondage accessories, it’s evident that bondage gear need not be an eyesore. 


In fact, there are some stylish bondage and light bondage wear that’s completely fashionable. Many of these bondage designs can be doubled up to use during your private bedroom experiences, and as a piece of jewellery to wear for an event.


In other words, we’ve curated a line of light bondage wear that are tasteful, saucy, but also elegant enough to take out for a spin with your most sensual outfits. Our favourite bondage designs are that of our MAZE collection. In this range, you’ll find a plethora of light bondage pieces ranging from harnesses, chokers, cuffs, floggers, and garters.

Light Bondage Ideas

While we’re on the topic of immersing oneself into the wondrous world of light bondage, we wouldn’t dare leave one stone unturned. So, with the tools and tips you’ve learned thus far, here are some light bondage ideas that you can experiment with.

Light BDSM Ideas

  • Being tied up: There are various props you can use to enjoy this kind of practice. For beginners who’re looking to engage in light bondage, you could choose to use gorgeously-designed handcuffs. This will not only make the experience less intimidating, but will also open up the opportunity to experiment with light bondage. On the other hand, if you’re not ready to invest in any handcuffs or other bondage accessories, you could look for DIY objects in your home. Things such as silk ties or a scarf for a soft approach, or zip ties for a more intense approach, both work perfectly. Just make sure to have items on-hand to release these makeshift bondage accessories when needed, such as scissors.
  • Being blindfolded: When you can’t see what’s happening, your only instinct is to feel. With this, even the slightest of touches can feel intimate and intense, creating a higher level of arousal. 
  • Using spreader bars: we agree, a spreader bar does look somewhat intimidating. But it’s merely a light bondage accessory that’ll give the more dominant partner even better access to your most intimate body parts. A spreader bar is a type of restraint that is put on the ankles in such a way that one’s legs are spread wide open.

Using bondage tape: bondage tape is excellent to use when it comes to ideas for light bondage. This is because this kind of tape has been designed for the sole purpose of bondage. In other words, it doesn’t hurt like regular tape when it is removed because it is self-adhesive. Bondage tape can be used to wrap around the wrists, ankles, or even over the mouth. And even though it is easy to remove, we suggest having scissors on-hand for safety.
