Types of Rope
For bondage games, there are two main types of ropes, twisted and braided.Twisted ropes are the traditional ones, made for centuries along history. This type of rope is made of long fibers and most of them are made with synthetic material. Braided rope is usually made of a soft braided skin over a core of untwisted or twisted fibers. The materials on the cover and the core can be similar or different.
Main Types of Rope:
Nylon is great general-purpose rope. It is pretty and slick – easy to untie and comfortable but be careful because it is soft and knots can collapse. It’s strong, it wears well, but is vulnerable to abrasion, chemicals and sunlight. The ends of cut nylon rope can be prevented from unraveling by heat sealing. Braider rope is easier and smoother; twisted rope kinks up more and tangles more.
Polypropylene is too stiff and hard to work with – NOT SUITABLE FOR BONDAGE!
Cotton rope is hard to find. This rope is in a different category form the other ropes made with natural fibers. It is the only one that is not rough on the skin. It comes twisted and after washing it becomes soft. This type of rope is good for bondage, especially if the bondage will be long-term.
Parachute rope is cheap, strong, colorful and good for detail work like Cock/Ball Torture (CBT).
Traditional hemp rope, manila, coir, sisal, and jute is attractive to some people for its rugged look but its scratchy and uncomfortable feel. It tightens when wet, is more difficult to work because it is harder to untie. It is weaker because it is susceptible to rot.
Climbing rope is expensive but pretty. It is too too thick for wrists but great for harnesses and excellent for suspension.
