Single Armbinder

A single armbinder is a specialized restraint that confines both arms together behind the back, typically from elbow to wrist. Unlike separate cuffs, it merges the arms into one unit, creating more complete restraint.

This device forces the shoulders back and chest forward while severely limiting upper body movement. The restrictive nature creates a heightened sense of helplessness compared to separate wrist restraints. Made from leather, canvas, or other durable materials, armbinders often lace or zip closed and may have additional straps to secure them to the body.

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.
