Leashes

Leashes are leads attached to collars, harnesses, or other points on the body, allowing one person to guide or control another's movement. They range from simple dog-style leads to elaborate chain designs or specialized BDSM equipment.

Beyond the practical function of leading someone, leashes (can) carry strong psychological symbolism of control and ownership. The physical connection between dominant and submissive creates both literal and figurative guidance. Leashes can be used functionally during play or scenes, or worn symbolically to represent relationship dynamics in appropriate settings.

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.
