7 Best BDSM Toys [Video Demonstration]

Curious about BDSM? You are not alone. Since the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie, there has been a massive interest in kinky play. But there’s more to BDSM than just buying some sex toys and start spanking your partner.

“You need to discuss boundaries with your partner first,” says Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., our certified sexologist and sex educator. “There has to be clear consent, including a safe word the submissive partner can use if they want to slow down or stop. You should also test all BDSM sex toys to know them well before using them with your sub, especially how to release the restraints quickly.”

Rachel also points out that buying products from reputable brands and companies is essential. Many cheaper products can be dangerous;  some even have toxic materials. To help you out, she has listed her 20 favorite BDSM toys below. Let’s check them out!

How We Picked the Products

BDSM is one of the most popular sexual fantasies, with numerous people enjoying the spontaneity and adrenaline that come with the dominance and submission dynamic during sex. Jessica, my fiancé, and I love exploring in the bedroom, and BDSM falls at the top of our most visited kinks.

For this article, I preselected more than 45 BDSM sex products, including all-you-need kits, gags, bondage ropes, blindfolds, chastity devices, floggers, and sex machines. For the initial stages, the main qualifying factor was the material – body safety was non-negotiable!

From here, I distributed the BDSM toys to my colleagues at My Sex Toy Guide for in-person testing. I especially emphasized the reviewers to focus on popular key decision-making factors, including:

• Design: The shape and dimensions of your BDSM product affect the user experience because it determines the ease of use and the quality of sensations. The designers must balance functionality and aesthetics to ensure both partners enjoy the experience and are safe throughout the session. Our reviewers paid attention to the physical makeup of the models we tested, ensuring we only chose those that portrayed the highest levels of comfort, ergonomics, and functionality. We ensured the design was elite¾everything from padded lining for restraints to soft material and adjustable provisions.
• Safety: Safety is another essential consideration because it ensures both partners are safe when engaging in the often intense and engaging sexual acts. We prioritized products that prevented physical, emotional, and psychological injury. Everything from quick-release mechanisms for bondage toys to picking non-porous materials for sanitation and hygiene, we didn’t leave anything to chance.
• Comfort: Contrary to popular belief, comfort is a huge part of BDSM play. While the essence of BDSM is to push boundaries and take intense physical sensations to the next level, physical comfort, psychological safety, and emotional security help maintain trust between partners and thus derive maximum pleasure from the experience. Besides promoting the importance of consent and safe words, our team ensured every product we recommended balanced comfort and enjoyment without crossing into harmful territory.
• Versatility: Versatility is another aspect the team looked into, ensuring the top picks helped the user achieve multiple sensations. The reviewers emphasized convenience, prioritizing models with unique features like a wireless remote for couple play and a dedicated mobile app for long-distance couples.
• Settings: Another essential consideration is the number of settings because it makes it easy to customize the experience and match your sexual desires. The more, the better, and we ensured the models we okayed for the article had the most vibration modes and adjustable settings to enhance the possibilities.
• Stimulations: The quality of sensations is vital to the overall experience, which is why we tested different sex toys to ensure you have a variety to choose from. What works for you might not work for me, and being able to pick between spreader bars, cock cages, nipple clamps, and sex furniture makes it easy to match your wildest sexual desires.
• Quality: Our team paid attention to the build quality, ensuring we only picked products made from high-quality materials to enhance hygiene and simplify aftercare. “The quality of craftsmanship was also important because it struck a balance between functionality and realism, making the sensations more intense,” notes Rachel Sommer in her test report.
• Ease Of Use: How easy a sex toy is to use depends on several factors, including the design, size, and power. For this reason, the reviewers researched the different types of products available for testing to ensure a balance between the ease of use and the quality of sensations. We don’t promise hands-free operation, but you can be sure of a thrilling and fun experience.
• Price: Lastly, the price was a significant part of the experience because it determines the caliber of BDSM sex toys you go for. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a budget-friendly model or an experienced folk after the most sophisticated product, we reviewed sexual wellness products across the pricing spectrum to ensure something for everyone. Of course, the more expensive names feature high-end capabilities, but we ensured even the cheapest were made from quality materials and were functional enough for exciting BDSM pleasure.

After what was a 1-month ‘testing holiday,’ the findings were back for me to analyze and try to make sense of it. I used comparison charts to pick the best gear with consumer motivation in mind. I also used indispensable data from the research team, including customer reviews and opinions from sex toy user forums.

It took about 42 hours of comparison, deliberation, and fine-tuning the picks to ensure they met the exact sexual needs of different adult toy users. And after all the ‘dirty work,’ I present you the 20 best BDSM sex toys.

1. Bondage Boutique Extreme: Overall Test Winner!

Why we love Bondage Boutique Extreme:

After the tedious review process, the testers affirmed their decision to pick Bondage Boutique Extreme as our test winner. The spreader bar’s well-thought-out design includes adjustable mechanisms to restrain your partner comfortably and switch between a broader range of positions. Unlike many competitors, the new pin system (closeup in the image below) makes adjusting the length of the bar simple. My partner and I found it easier to use, and its flexibility means we could be bound in multiple positions despite our body size differences.

Besides the spreader bar’s adjustability, the team appreciated the rotating ankle cuffs because they allowed for a wide range of manipulation and coziness during sex. We believe adding adjustable rotating wrist cuffs would take the experience to the next level, and we hope the brand will consider introducing a deluxe package. “Honestly, I would pay extra to get a spreader bar of the same quality but with an extra set of adjustable wrist restraints,” confirms Shane Davis.

The product’s all-black and minimalistic design adds to the classy look. In addition, the high-quality artistry complements the design because the leather and faux fur cuffs feel firm and would take a lot of beating to wear out.

Although the metal bar feels dense, the team believes a heavier metal would have been used without affecting the user experience. Unlike the cuffs, the metal can’t take a heavy beating, and the locks feel cheaply made (image below), with instances of difficulties when turning the key inside.

Note: The pin that helps adjust the bar fell out of the hole severally, and we had to use a key ring to hold it. Like the metal density, my wife and I expected more quality for the price.

Everything else fell into place once we figured out that a key ring was all that was needed to solve the slipping pins problem. Using the product was straightforward, and adjusting the bar’s length was simple. “My husband and I found it easy to make the most of the experience, and slipping the cuffs was a breeze,” confirms our tester Sandra.

Notably, the cuff’s faux fur lining made for a cozy experience (image above). Even when worn for extended sessions, the cuffs feel comfortable on the wrist, and you won’t have to worry about chafing. Of course, things can get a little rough depending on the positions, but our testers gave it an 85% score on comfort, which was impressive. The spreader bar’s adjustability creates a wide range of possibilities, allowing you to find different ways to position yourself comfortably during sex.

Lastly, the model surprised us with its versatility. It’s an ideal addition to your sex life if you’re looking for a multi-use BDSM toy because the adjustable bar and cuffs mean you can use it with your partner. My partner and I are always looking for ways to spice things up in the bedroom, and the product provided a delightful and cozy avenue to induce bondage and thrill to the sex life.

Note: If you think you’re not as flexible to have your body bent in half, we recommend the Fetish Fantasy Spreader Bar + Handcuff combo instead. We also have an article with many more spreader bars.

Minor issues we found during testing:

As stressed before, the pins can be a pain because they fall off, and you must use a key ring to retain them. In addition, the locks were stubborn at times, which took away the spontaneity of bondage. While we were never unable to open them, we believe Bondage Boutique should use better quality locks for the price.

Why Bondage Boutique Extreme is the best BDSM toy:

• Design: Among the products on this list, Bondage Boutique Extreme performed outstandingly because of the well-thought-out design that makes it easy and thrilling to restrain your partner during foreplay or sex. The unique adjustable mechanism and cozy faux fur lining on the cuffs mean you can restrain your partner for extended periods without worrying about chaffing. My wife and I found it easy to adjust the length of the bar because of the new pin system, and positioning her in multiple angles for maximum comfort and easy access was straightforward.”
• Versatility: Besides the spreader bar’s adjustability, our team highlighted how the rotating ankle cuffs opened your world to endless possibilities. According to Rachel Sommer’s report, the cuffs allow for a wide range of manipulation during sex.
• Comfort: While bondage fun is associated with random and intense physical action, comfort is essential to both partner’s physical and psychological safety. We loved the faux fur lining on the cuffs because they prevented chafing. In addition, the rotating ankle cuffs provide a broader range of manipulation and coziness.

2. CB-X CB6000S: Most Effective Cock Cage!

Why we love CB-X CB6000S:

After the dust settled, our testers ranked CB-X CB6000S as the most effective cock cage because of the well-thought-out dimensions that make it perfect for beginners and intermediate folks. The competing models were either too constrictive or oversized. However, the new CB-X offered a snug 2.5″, so you can enjoy thrilling sub/dom role-playing adventures without worrying about unnecessary wiggling during play. “My penis felt great inside the cage, and it was unlike any other model I’ve used before,” confirms our tester Shane Davis. “It was almost like it was made just for my member.”

Note: Unlike its predecessor, the new chastity cage is 20% smaller in size, making it perfect for average-sized penis sizes.

The smaller size guarantees a tighter fit while flaccid, thus making for better-caged sensations. Besides preventing erections before they kick off, you won’t have to deal with the pain caused by standard cages as you grow. In addition, the tip is pushed to the front, offering better access for teasing fun and making urinating cleaner and more manageable.

Another design aspect that stood out was the multiple vents (image above), which offer sufficient room to breathe. You’ll also love the cage’s curvature, which feels more natural and makes you almost forget you’re wearing it. In addition, the model is available in many colors and patterns, including a clear option that gives you an unprecedented view of the action.

The build quality felt solid, and people seeking total bondage for their penis will enjoy the ‘Alcatraz’ feeling. “The medical-grade polycarbonate was sturdy, and even when I exerted extreme pressure with my palm, there were no doubts about the structure’s integrity,” says Shane Davis.

While using the cock cage was seamless, figuring out the setup took a while because you had to pick the right ring, pin, and spacer combo. It almost felt like a complicated Lego puzzle we had to complete. However, once we figured out everything, the cage felt incredible, and there was an outstanding balance between punishment and coziness. “The snug fit halts the erection from gaining momentum, and as I spent more time in the cage, I found myself doing everything my dominating partner asked,” confirms Shane Davis.

While there wasn’t much to do other than lock the penis inside, the range of sensations from wearing the product was impressive. “My partner admitted to enjoying sex more and feeling wet more frequently at the thought of having me under their leash. I also found myself servicing her more because of the excitement around teasing fun,” confirmed Shane.

Note: Even without any extra stimulation, like vibrations, the caged feeling offers new ways to stimulate yourself during foreplay. Your imagination is the only limit, and the weighted sensations make the orgasms more impactful.

Lastly, we loved the product’s safety standards because rope shears can quickly cut off the new CB-6000S’s plastic locks when needed. The plastic locks are handy if your dom is away or you want a quick reprieve from the constricted cage.

Note:  Only use safety shears designed for bondage and not regular scissors.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The main issue we encountered when testing the BDSM toy was the placement of the external lock. It’s located on top and produces a clunking noise when running. While it wasn’t a massive issue, it can be unpleasant to self-conscious people.

In addition, the cage can be indiscreet, depending on your pants. You must wear loose-fitting clothes if you don’t want to turn heads in public.

Why CB-X CB6000S is the most effective cock cage:

• Design: Our reviewers appreciated CB-X CB6000S’ as the best cock cage because of the well-thought-out design that makes it ideal for different users. Unlike the competing brands, the new model’s dimensions fit snugly over a flaccid penis without leaving the annoying wiggle room or feeling too constrictive. “The smaller size prevents erections before they begin, so I didn’t have to deal with the pain caused by regular cages,” confirms Shane Davis. “I also loved how the penis tip is pushed towards the front, giving better access for teasing fun and making urinating more manageable.”
• Quality: The build quality felt solid, and we never doubted the product’s durability. Suppose you’re seeking the ultimate ‘Alcatraz’ feeling; the new CB6000S outperformed the competition. We loved the medical-grade polycarbonate because it felt sturdy, and the structure maintained its integrity even when under pressure.
• Comfort: Our testers were surprised at how comfortable the CB-6000S felt. Of course, you’ll know you’re in a cage, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly the feeling fades away. It’s ideal for light activity, and the air vents running along the shaft leave enough room for breathing, making the experience more exciting.

If you want to see what the CB-6000s looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete CB-X CB6000S review in this article.

Features:

• Material: Polycarbonate
• Cage Diameter: 2″
• Cage Length: 2.5″

• Well-thought-out dimensions.
• Impressive build quality.
• Excellent for beginners and experienced folks.

3. Lovense Gemini: Highest-Rated Nipple Clamps

Why we love Lovense Gemini:

After testing numerous nipple clamps, the team concluded that Lovense Gemini is our recommendation for people seeking to induce spice in their sex life because of its immense versatility. Whether in public or the bedroom, the well-designed product offers light BDSM for couples, and its compatibility with a smartphone application makes it easy to customize the experience. “Jessica and I can’t recommend the clamps enough,” insists Rachel in her report.

As mentioned before, the compatibility with the mobile app (screenshots below) is one of the most exciting things about the experience because it lets you control each motor separately. This way, you can mix and match for maximum satisfaction. In addition, you can surrender control to your partner and watch them enjoy seeing you squirming from the intense teasing play.

The mobile app opens your world to endless possibilities with multiple pre-programmed patterns. You can also create custom modes on the app for a more customized feeling. In addition, interactive features like music synchronization and voice control let you lay back and enjoy effortless teasing while your hands focus on other erogenous zones for more thrilling sensations.

Another review highlight was the attractive design that impeccably balances functionality and realism. Besides the slightly bulky clips common with similar BDSM toys, we found the vibrating clamps ideal for people looking for power over discreetness. “Honestly, I didn’t mind the size because the brand accommodated the vibrating mechanism flawlessly,” confirms Sandra Larson. “I prefer stronger vibrations over a discreet and compact product.”

Note: We recommend slightly baggy clothes if you want to wear the clamps in public. In addition, try to keep the pulses at a lower setting because the powerful motor can be too impactful in public, and you don’t want to be the ‘crazy’ blurting out profanities in the restaurant.

Besides the powerful motor we always expect from Lovense products, we loved the multiple vibration patterns that make it easy to enjoy the sensations regardless of experience. Simple pinching can be quick and effective, but nothing beats vibrating clamps’ random and exciting rhythm. You can choose between 10 patterns and 3 intensity levels. The app also lets you customize the experience further by connecting the vibrations with your music playlist or activating the voice control feature for hands-free pleasure.

Our review team was split when reporting on the build quality. On one side, the testers reported positive findings, praising the adjustable clamps because they ensure the product is suitable for different users. The Gemini’s flexibility means it will adapt to you whether you have inverted, flat, or protruding nipples. On the other hand, the quality of the nylon material (image above) wasn’t there. In addition, the screw parts looked prone to breakage if you stepped on them or didn’t treat them with care when screwing or unscrewing the clamp.

That said, the team loved that Lovense used 100% body-safe silicone and ABS materials. The IPX6 waterproof classification enhances the user experience and lets you enjoy teasing fun with your partner in the shower. It also means you can clean the product under strong water pressure without worrying about causing damage to the electronic components.

Lastly, the powerful motor is comparatively quiet, making it perfect for public play. The numbers ranged between 30 and 45 dB, similar to a library setting. We also found that wearing a padded bra helped muffle the sounds, so you should be okay with wearing it in public as long as there’s some background noise.

Alternatives:

• If you’re a beginner nipple clamp fan looking for an affordable yet equally exciting product, we recommend the Lovehoney Colorplay. The low-cost and novice-friendly model can be placed nearly anywhere on the human body, and the silicone forms make it ideal for extended wear.
• Other models like the Stockroom’s Beaded Clit Clamp guarantee maximum pleasure and minimum discomfort, thanks to the impressive design and build quality. Its remarkable versatility makes it a universal sex toy for novices and BDSM enthusiasts to spice their sex life.
• Lastly, models like the Stainless Steel Pussy Clamps from Stockroom balance style and functionality, letting you enjoy the pleasures of teasing fun on your vagina lips. Everything from the robust build quality to the impressive design and top-notch safety standards renders it ideal for BDSM fans.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The most significant concern we ran into when testing the nipple clamp was the interference issues connecting the clamps with the mobile app. Setting up the connection can be annoying as it takes a few tries to get it right.

In addition, the model has multiple notches around the buttons, which can be a hub for bacteria replication. We recommend keeping the notches clean and sterilizing regularly to avoid bacterial buildup.

Why Lovense Gemini are the highest-rated nipple clamps:

• Versatility: Unlike your regular nipple clamps, Gemini is compatible with the mobile app, making it one of the most exciting names you’ll see today. The intuitive application lets you control each motor separately for better customization. In addition, you can hand over control to your partner for a completely hands-free experience. Other bells and whistles include interactive features like music synchronization and voice control that let you sync the vibrations with ambient sound and music so your hands can focus on other erogenous zones.
• Design: Our testers loved the attractive design because it balanced functionality and realism without being excessive. Besides the slightly bulky casing and clips, we found the design perfect because it made the vibrating clamps ideal for people looking for power over discreetness. “I prefer stronger vibrations over a discreet and compact product,” confirms Shane Davis.
• Stimulation: The team highlighted how the powerful motor complemented the product’s multiple vibration patterns because it made it suitable for different users. The random and rhythmic 10 patterns and 3 intensity levels offer enough room for exploration. In addition, the mobile application lets you create and save new patterns. More importantly, you can connect it to your music playlist or activate the voice control feature for 100% hands-free pleasure.

If you want to see what Lovense Gemini looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Lovense Gemini review here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone, ABS Plastic
• Clamp Width: 1.4″
• Clamp Length: 4.13″

Pros:

• Multiple vibration patterns.
• Convenient mobile app.
• Versatile nipple clamps.

• The waterproof product is easy to clean.

4. Bondage Boutique: Best Mouth Gag

Why we love Bondage Boutique:

Like bondage, silence plays a significant role in BDSM as a tool for control and a pathway to deeper intimacy. This mouth gag from Bondage Boutique performed outstandingly (95% overall rating) compared to the other products on this list because of its simplistic yet functional design. The 5.5″ silicone ball is held into place with a leather head strap (image below) that’s easy to adjust to the right fit.

Our testers found it easy to wear and modify the product so you can spend more time on what matters the most: having a great time! “My partner and I found it exceptionally well-made,” says Tim Larson. “The BDSM toy significantly spiced up our kinky and teasing play sessions more than some of the vibrating products we have in the bedroom.”

Something else that stood out when we tested the model was the phenomenal build quality. The body-safe and hypoallergenic silicone and faux leather are durable, so you don’t have to worry about buying a new model. In addition, the strap and ball gag feel incredibly cozy over the head and in the mouth so that you can carry on with your BDSM dynamics stress-free.

Lastly, the exciting mouth gag scored 93% on flexibility, making it the best performer among the models we reviewed. Unlike the rest, we loved that there were eleven holes in the leather strap, making it ideal for different users. The multiple-hole strap makes it easy to adjust the product to the perfect fit regardless of gender, body type, or size.

Alternatives:

• DOMINIX Deluxe is another incredibly well-designed model for people looking for a ring gag design. We loved that it has no rounded ball at the front but an open hole that makes it easy to talk to your partner and breathe comfortably. Everything from the ideally sized hole to the flexible silicone and adjustable strap enhances the user experience. Check out more ring gag designs here!
• If you want something different, bit gags offer a larger surface area in the form of a bar-shaped or cylindrical object to bite down during your BDSM escapades. We have reviewed numerous options like the Stockroom’s bit gag. The fully adjustable model sets the bar high, offering a cozy yet controlling device to tame your sub. Everything from the body-safe silicone material and nickel-plated steel to the phenomenal construction makes it stand out.
• Dildo gags take things to the next level, allowing the sub to enjoy a bit of control with the outward-facing dong. They open your world to new possibilities and enhance power exchange dynamics during BDSM fun. Zado Leather mouth gag outperformed the models we tested because of the impressive build quality that included stylish chrome steel fittings, a natural leather gag, and high-quality latex. The adjustable straps and simplistic design simplify the user experience and make it ideal for different users.
• Unlike dildo gags, spider gags are designed to keep the receiving partner’s mouth open, making speech impossible during foreplay or penetrative sex. The metal ring between the teeth and prongs extending outwards creates a spider-like look, which significantly adds to the outlook and complements the control and influence during BDSM. Stockroom’s Spider Gag is superbly designed with both partners in mind. Adjusting the buckled strap is easy, and the amazingly stunning outlook adds to the excitement around bondage and power dynamics during sex.
• Like bit gags, panel gags offer more surface area to bite on or cover the mouth. Cal Exotic’s Scandal Hidden Pleasure scored 95%, and the team agreed it deserved the top spot. Everything from the universal design that makes it ideal for different users to the phenomenal build quality that makes it cozy and durable was top-notch.
• Last but not least, funnel gags take things to the next level. As the name suggests, these devices feature a funnel on one end, allowing the dom to pour liquid directly into the sub’s mouth. The exciting balance between restraint and forced ingestion spices up the BDSM dynamics, making it even more enjoyable. We reviewed three products in the category, and Oxball’s Watersport stood out. We loved the excellent design and impressive artistry because they made it easy to use and durable. In addition, the quality of materials and adjustable straps render the versatile gag ideal for different users.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the ball gag from Bondage Boutique has a sharp seam around the silicone ball. It might not be a big deal because of the cozy material, but you will find it distracting if you have a sensitive mouth.

Why Bondage Boutique is the best mouth gag:

• Design: Bondage Boutique mouth gag outperformed other models we tested, scoring an impressive 95% overall rating. Our testers appreciated its simplistic yet functional design because it made it easy to wear and make the most of the product. We found it exceptionally well-made, and the flexibility made it easy to customize the fit for maximum efficiency.
• Quality: Another facet of the experience that stood out was the phenomenal build quality because it made the gag durable and comfortable for extended wear. We found the body-safe and hypoallergenic silicone and faux leather incredibly cozy over the head and in the mouth.
• Flexibility: The model scored 93% on flexibility, rendering it a top pick among the reviewed gags. The reviewers pointed out how the eleven-hole leather strap and 26″ length made it the best pick for flexibility. Regardless of your body shape, gender, or size, customizing the fit is straightforward.

5. Bondage Boutique Under Mattress Restraint: Best Restraints Overall

Why we love Bondage Boutique Under Mattress Restraint:

This bondage bed kit was rated higher than its competitor because of its simple setup, discreet design, and comfort. And the best part about it is the product is considerably affordable, and you won’t have to break the bank. “It was an A+ experience,” emphasized Angela Kempf, our experienced BDSM toy tester.

The primary motivation for buying the restraints is the ease of use. “It took a minute to get the restraints around the bolts, but I found the experience straightforward because I have a traditional mattress, and my bed doesn’t have a footboard,” reads Rachel Sommer’s report. “It probably will take longer if yours has it, but it’s doable.”

The compact design makes it ideal for travelers looking to make their vacation sex more exciting. In addition, the product’s universal look also means you can use it on different beds.

Note: The cuff straps expand to four feet and two inches while the connecting strap stretches up to four feet, meaning even the shortest sub will not miss out.

Our testers used the product on a king and super-king bed, and the straps fit at the maximum extension. However, we believe they might not fit a super-king-size bed. The team tested the product on other beds, including twin, queen, and double beds.

Note: We also loved how the restraints’ positioning affected the sub’s position on the bed. For instance, if you have two straps coming from each side of the bed, your partner is spread wide open, offering better access for deeper penetration and more satisfying sex.

Something else the team looked into was the build quality. The Polyester and nylon materials might not be the most luxurious, but their body safety degree makes them perfect for BDSM fun. We found cleaning straightforward too, because you can handwash it quickly.

The cuffs could be thicker, but you’ll love the soft, comfortable material. It feels great on bare skin, and you won’t have to worry about chaffing even when worn for extended sessions. The best part is that wearing the restraints is straightforward, and even a beginner will enjoy the experience.

Pro Tip: If you’re new to under-the-bed restraints, we recommend starting with two cuff straps on top and two at the bottom. This quick move forces your sub’s hands on top of their head while leaving the feet flexible to strike different poses.

Alternatives:

• Once you get your restraints, we recommend using the different attachments to spice things up. Everything from CBT toys to ankle cuffs, handcuffs, and extra BDSM restraints, there’s something for everyone. Luckily, these compact additions are relatively cheap, and you won’t have to break the bank. The possibilities are endless, whether it’s a ball stretcher, premium leather cuffs, furry handcuffs, or all-you-need kits.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, setting up the restraints on a Sleep Number bed is problematic. If your bed has a footboard and you must take it down, setting up can take more than 20 minutes.

Why Bondage Boutique Under Mattress Restraint is our favorite restraint overall:

• Ease of Use: Our testers highlighted how easy using the BDSM restraints was, describing it as the primary motivation for getting one. Setting it up was straightforward, especially if your bed doesn’t have a footboard. And even if yours has it, it’s doable. “I loved how the restraints’ positioning helped control my partner on the bed,” says Shane Davis. “I had two straps coming from each side of the bed, which meant his hands were on top of the head, and the legs were flexible, offering better access for deeper penetration and more satisfying sex.”
• Design: The compact design makes the product suitable for frequent travelers who want to transform their BDSM dynamics on the go. Its universal structure means you can use it on any bed, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility. We loved the stretchy cuff straps that expand to four feet and two inches and the connecting strap that stretches up to four feet because they made the model ideal for different body sizes and shapes.
• Quality: The team praised the high-quality Polyester and nylon materials, describing them as perfect for the price. “They might not be the most luxurious, but they’re body-safe and easy to clean.” The only concern was the thinner straps, but the soft, comfortable lining feels great on bare skin even when worn for extended periods.

If you want to see what the Under The Mattress Restraint looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

6. Liberator Obeir: Our Favorite BDSM Furniture

Why we love Liberator Obeir:

After testing Obeir for three weeks, we unanimously voted it our favorite BDSM furniture. Our testers cited the comfortable finish, impressive practicality, and versatile design as the primary reasons for their decision.

We’ve tested numerous Liberator products over the years; one thing that stands out is the impeccable design. Obeir was no exception. The testers unanimously agreed it was well-made for people new to bondage and experienced folks because of the cozy finish and convenient shelf that keeps your knees comfortable throughout the session. In addition, the sparingly positioned D-ring attachments (image below) add to the possibilities, ensuring kink lovers have a way to exert power and influence during sex.

Note: Obeir’s lightweight and compact design makes it portable, allowing you to take it if you drive out of town. However, the lightweight structure reduces realism because your sub isn’t attached to something heavy and can quickly move around during play. We recommend getting an eyehook to attach the model to something sturdy, like a bed, to sabotage your lover’s getaway.

You’ll also love the approachable look that doesn’t necessarily scream pain for newbies. Its velvety feel will cozy up any sub, and the low-profile design also means the product seamlessly blends into any room without courting attention.

As stressed before, the comfort degree was better than other options in the price range. The designer paid attention to detail, ensuring the foam cushion was sturdy and soft (image above). “Jessica and I use it comfortably without the foam budging, which is a testament to the quality of artistry,” reads Rachel’s report. In addition, the shelf offers a place to rest your knees during spanking sessions, so you can only worry about one thing: having a great time.

The furniture was relatively easy to use, and setting up the cuffs took a few seconds thanks to the easy-snap D-ring attachment points. In addition, the dimensions are well-thought-out, and making the most of the experience is straightforward regardless of your body shape and size.

Something else the team paid attention to was the versatile structure. Unlike the competing models, we found Obeir adaptable in different situations because it doubles as a sex pillow and a spanking bench. “It made all from-behind sex positions more intense and cozy for the receiving partner,” emphasizes Shane Davis.

Obeir is compatible with multiple D-ring attachments and quick-release buckles, including Liberator black-label attachments. This way, you don’t have to buy new restraints if you have some you previously owned.

Alternatives:

The dynamic BDSM world lets you customize your experience to match your sexual desires. In this article, we have reviewed multiple products designed to instill discipline and restrain your sub for maximum pleasure. Everything from sex swings to beds, stockades, sex machines, and cages, look around and get something to spice your sex life.

Minor issues we found during testing:

A primary concern was the cushion not squishing down smaller for storage. Storage can be problematic if you live in a big city with limited closet space. We recommend choosing a different Liberator that doubles as a chair you can use as furniture in the bedroom without worrying about prying eyes.

Unlike a heavy bed or dungeon furniture, the product’s lightweight body means your sub can leave without much fuss.

Why Liberator Obeir is our favorite BDSM Furniture:

• Design: Having reviewed numerous Liberator sex products, the design is one feature we’re always sure the brand will deliver. Obeir was no different. We unanimously picked the well-made model as the best match for people new to bondage and experienced folks because of the thoughtful design and convenient provisions that enhance a cozy and fulfilling BDSM experience. We loved the well-positioned D-ring attachments because they added to the possibilities, ensuring kink lovers enjoy light bondage.
• Comfort: Our testers loved how comfortable the product felt compared to other options in the price range. “We were surprised at how good the designers got it, ensuring the foam cushion was sturdy and soft,” confirms Rachel in her report. “Jessica and I use it comfortably without the foam budging, a testament to the quality of artistry,” In addition, the sex pillow has a convenient shelf offering a place to rest your knees during spanking sessions.
• Versatility: Something else the team paid attention to was the versatile design. Among the models we tested, Obeir’s adaptable structure stood out because it allowed you to use it as a sex pillow and a spanking bench. More importantly, it made all from-behind sex positions intense and cozy.

In addition, the weighted body reinforces BDSM dynamics of control and discipline, ensuring the sub toes the line throughout the session. The best part about it is the product has a ring on top so that you can attach restraints for varied BDSM pleasure. “My husband and I enjoyed attaching it to the restraint hooks on the bed and then gently pulling it in and out as we carried on with oral sex, ” Sandra added.

Something else that stood out was the phenomenal build quality, including a body-safe nickel-steel sphere. The solid build makes cleaning and retrieving the ball easy after use. In addition, the impressive artistry delivered a smooth finish and curved design, making it as alluring to the eyes as it is functional during BDSM play.

We also appreciated how versatile the anal hook looked because it opened the door to different users.
