Straight Jackets

Straight jackets are upper body restraint garments that immobilize the arms by binding them across the chest or behind the back. Typically made of canvas, leather, or synthetic materials, they feature multiple straps and buckles for secure closure.

This form of restraint creates comprehensive upper body immobilization that many find psychologically intense. The historical medical associations add layers of meaning for medical play scenarios. Unlike many restraints, straight jackets are designed for extended wear when properly fitted, though monitoring circulation and comfort remains important.

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.
