Bondage Ropes and Chains Home Alternatives
Let’s start with the most common form of DYI device bondage – rope bondage. There are many ways to achieve the look and feel of bondage without using commercial bondage ropes or chains. Here are some popular home alternatives:
- Braided cotton rope/Polypropylene webbing
Braided cotton rope is popular for those who want a softer and gentler rope on the skin. Polypropylene webbing is another option that is smoother and has less friction than cotton, making it more comfortable for both the top and the bottom.
You can really get creative with store-bought ropes. For example, you can use two lengths of white rope and one length of black rope and alternate between them as you weave them together. This will create a visually attractive chain effect that adds to the sensation of being restrained.
Tip: You can use double-ended snap hooks or D-clips to connect the ropes and homemade chains while restraining your partner.
- Duct tape
You can use this versatile tape for everything from binding wrists and ankles to tape-gagging your partner if you’re feeling particularly playful.
It’s good to be aware that some people experience skin irritation when they use duct tape. Thus, when using duct tape for bondage, test a small skin area first to ensure your sub is not allergic to the adhesive. Or apply the tape only on covered skin, e.g., on the legs, in the jeans.
- Cling wrap
Cling wrap is an excellent alternative to rope, as it’s almost as strong and can be easily reused if you’re working with a tight budget. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than buying rope from a store. Simply wrap your partner up in cling wrap, using as much or as little as you like, and enjoy your new bondage plaything!
Note: If you continually buy cling wrap, it can be more expensive than the initial cost you’ll spend on cotton or polypropylene ropes.
Handcuffs and Softwraps Home Alternatives
For those who want to add a little kink to their sex life, bondage handcuffs and soft wraps are a great way to do it.
But if you don’t want to spend money on commercial products, there are some excellent DIY alternatives, such as the ones described below.
- Scarves or neckties
Using scarves or neckties as a restraining means for your partner can be a great way to spice things up, and it’s a lot cheaper than buying actual handcuffs! These can be tied around the wrists in various ways to create different levels of restraint, depending on what the sub wants.
You can find more ideas on alternatives to bondage handcuffs in this dedicated article on 10 alternatives to handcuffs.
- Pantyhose or Stockings
Pantyhose and stockings can be used as soft bondage wraps at home. They are easy to find and usually made of materials that won’t hurt if pulled tight. They can also be easily removed if you need to get out of them quickly. If you want to learn more about soft bondage, check out this soft bondage guide or this article about 10 types of soft bondage.
DIY Makeshift Blindfolds
For many people, the idea of being blindfolded is terrifying. It can evoke feelings of vulnerability and helplessness. However, for subs, the appeal of being unable to see what is happening around them is a huge turn-on. If you fall into the latter category, you may be interested in trying out sight-deprivation bondage. This can be accomplished using DIY home alternatives such as scarves, bandanas, or cloth strips.
Tie one of these materials around your partner’s eyes, ensuring it’s not too tight. Once their eyes are covered, you can get creative with what you do next. Try tying their hands behind their back with another scarf, then engage in some impact play.
Breast Bondage and Torture
When it comes to breast bondage and torture, there are many ways to do it yourself at home. Some people enjoy hand squeezing and pinching, while others like their nipples clamped to increase the sensation. Here are two readily available home materials you can use on your partner’s breasts to create bondage sensations:
- Clothespins
There’s something about the pain of clothespins on your nipples that is both exhilarating and torturous. It’s a unique sensation that can make your body quiver with pleasure and your mind scream with delight. For this, you’ll just need a supply of clothespins, which are easy to find at your local supplies store.
Take a clothespin and attach it to one of your partner’s nipples. The pain will be sharp, but it should also be pleasurable. Repeat this process with the other nipple. Once both nipples are clipped, it’s time to start bondage playing. You can leave the clothespins on for as long as your partner can stand the pain. And wait for the cathartic reaction after the clothespin is removed, more than words can say.
- Fishing Weights
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use fishing weights for breast bondage and torture, as they are great for nipple weights because they are cheap, easy to find, and use. You can buy them at any fishing store or hardware store. They come in different sizes, meaning you can find the perfect weight for your partner’s nipples.
To use them, simply tie the fishing weights to your sub’s nipples using a ribbon. The weights will pull on the nipples, causing them to become more sensitive and responsive. You can leave them on for as long as your partner likes.
Custom Wrist Restraints
If you’re looking for something a little more creative than your average set of wrist restraints, why not try making your own bondage custom wrist restraints at home? Below, we’ll discuss how you can use bendable dragon pets and colored leather to create unique custom wrist restraints.

Method:
1. Find some bendable dragon pets or any other kind of small, bendable material.

With these two methods, you’ll have a unique and stylish set of restraints that will add a touch of fun and excitement to your next bondage play session!
Homemade Bondage Flogging
This is a pretty simple activity. You only need polypropylene rope and something to weigh the ends (optional). You can braid the rope if you want, but it’s unnecessary. To add some extra weight to the ends of the rope, just tie the ends into knots.
Tip: If you and your partner don’t mind a bit of blood, you can melt the ends of the polypropylene rope to make a weight that feels hard and sharp.

Your St. Andrew’s cross is now complete! You can use it for bondage by tying your partner’s wrists and ankles to the cross beams, or you can suspend them from the body of the cross. You can also use the cross as a spanking bench or a bondage table.

Homemade DIY Bondage Hooks and Rings
By adding some homemade hooks and rings, you can easily attach bondage rope to your furniture. This can add a whole new level of fun and excitement to your bondage play.

- Optional: paint or other decorations
Method:
1. Start by cutting your PVC pipe into lengths that will be comfortable for your wrists and ankles. 4-6 inches is usually a good length.

3. Next, use your rope or webbing to create loops that will go around the rings.
4. Attach the D-rings to the loops and then clamp them closed.
