Chains

Chains provide durable, inflexible restraint options with a distinctive aesthetic and sensory profile. They range from lightweight decorative chains to heavy-duty security chains, each offering different weights and feels against the skin.

The cold metal sensation, weight, and distinctive rattling sound add sensory elements beyond simple restraint. Chains can be wrapped, locked, or configured in various ways, though they typically require additional components like cuffs or locks for complete restraint systems. Many appreciate chains for their psychological impact—the industrial, inescapable nature can enhance feelings of genuine restraint.

About the category BDSM Gear/Toys

BDSM gear and toys are specialized equipment designed to facilitate power exchange, sensation play, restraint, and other kink activities. These range from simple household items repurposed for play to elaborate purpose-built devices.

Different categories serve various functions: restraints limit movement, impact toys create pain or sensation, sensory deprivation tools alter perception, and insertable toys provide internal stimulation. Many items cross categories or can be used in multiple ways depending on the scene context.
