Types of equipment used in bondage play.
A ball gag is intended to muffle or prevent the wearer from speaking. It usually does not interfere with breathing. Gags are used to instill a sense of submission, usually by placing rubber balls on the wearer's lips and teeth and strapping them around or over the head. Partners need to be more creative in their communication, and partners need to better understand their lover's needs while playing. Other types of gags, such as bits, hooks, rings, ratchets, etc. included.

Bedroom Bondage Kits
All-in-one solution for bondage scenarios. Bedroom bondage kits, often marketed for beginners, usually include a pair of ankle cuffs, a pair of hand cuffs, a blindfold, and some sort of whip, whip, or paddle.
Other bondage kits include ball gags, clitoris, collars and leads, ropes, bondage tape, spreader bars and more elaborate restraints.
Kits are a great way to build a collection of bondage gear and are usually less expensive than buying all the items individually.

Blindfolds
A blindfold prevents the wearer from seeing anything. By restricting eyesight, the wearer's other senses are sharpened. This can increase sensitivity to touch, taste, smell and sound. The blindfolded lover is likely to feel less self conscious about experimentation.

Collars & Leashes
When used together, a collar and leash form a bondage device that can be used to control the wearer by moving them using the lead. The collar when worn alone is often a symbol of ownership, but can also correct posture or be worn for decorative purposes.
Some collars feature lockable buckles which prevent removal by the wearer to accentuate the feeling of helplessness or being owned. Many collars are fitted with a frontal O-ring to allow leads, harnesses and bondage equipment to be connected to them.

Feather Ticklers
A feather tickler is made either entirely or partially from feathers used to tickle and tease the skin. The feeling of a feather running over the skin excites the nerve endings and causes you to get goosebumps, making you more sensitive to touch temporarily.
Feather ticklers are often used during foreplay to enhance erotic sensation and cause a sense of anticipation for sexual contact which heightens mental arousal.
Floggers & Whips
A flogger has several surfaces which all hit the skin at roughly the same time. As floggers spread the force of the hit over a larger surface area, the pain felt is often less than is caused by a whip.
Floggers are brilliant during foreplay - just tease your lover by running the fronds up and down their skin to set their heart pumping.

Handcuffs & Restraints
A form of wrist restraint which connects the two hands together. A single unit composite of two wrists or ankle cuffs and a chain. Used to secure the wrists/ankles around an object, fixture or fitting to prevent the wearer from moving from the position they are placed in.
