Ropes & Shibari: The Art of Bondage | KissKiss.eu
The Ropes & Shibari collection explores the art of bondage, from gentle holds to intricate ties, enhancing your journey into intimate wellness.
How to choose your shibari rope?
Choosing a shibari rope depends on several essential criteria: the material, diameter, length, and finish. Hemp, jute, or cotton ropes are traditionally used for their natural texture and comfortable grip. Nylon, like the Ouch! Japanese bondage rope, offers great resistance and is easy to maintain. For beginners, a diameter of 6 to 8 mm is often recommended, providing a good balance between grip comfort and strength, while the standard length is around 8 to 10 meters per rope to allow for a variety of ties.

Safety and progression in shibari
The practice of shibari, like any intimate wellness activity or use of a sex toy, demands constant attention to safety, consent, and communication. Before any tie, ensure you know which pressure points to avoid (joints, respiratory areas, blood vessels) and establish clear safe words with your partner. For beginners, it is advisable to start with simple, non-restrictive ties, using quality ropes that won't harm the skin. Progression then moves towards more elaborate techniques, always ensuring blood circulation and the comfort of the person being tied. Learning safety knots and the ability to quickly untie them are fundamental skills.
