Slings

Slings are suspended apparatus that support a person's body (particularly the back, buttocks and legs) in a reclined position that facilitates access to genitals and intimate areas. Made from leather, canvas, or nylon, they typically hang from stands or ceiling attachment points.

This equipment creates unique positioning opportunities that might be difficult to maintain otherwise. The supported position allows for extended play sessions without fatigue, while the exposure and accessibility create feelings of vulnerability. Some slings incorporate restraint points to secure limbs in place, adding bondage elements to the positioning system.

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.
