Jute Scarlet Bondage Rope

Rope bondage has been practised in Japanese culture since ancient times and has seen an upsurge in popularity recently. You can find several social clubs here in Vancouver devoted to the culture.

Jute bondage rope and hemp are the most popular materials used in shibari. The rope is often seven to eight meters long, four to six millimeters thick, and usually consists of three smaller strands twisted together. Natural fiber ropes have more grip, a necessary quality here "” shibari doesn't use many knots, and its wrapping techniques require the rope have grip "” and so are better than silk or synthetic ropes, which don't hold friction well and can also lead to faster rope burn. In my opinion, natural fiber ropes also look better and the unyielding tension feels better for the bottom.

As the other natural fiber rope, jute serves as hemp's counterpart. The two contrast each other on almost every particular.

High quality jute rope starts out very firm. This makes it a favorite rope among many sadists and masochists who want a little more edge to their play.

The firmness of the ropes also means that decorative knots hold their shape marvelously in jute rope. In general, jute rope is a photography whore. The natural sheen of the ropes really plays to the camera.

Jute fiber weighs next to nothing. This adds a lot to the process of rigging. Movements become more fluid and elegant. The weight also applies to those who want to do outdoor bondage. A jute kit weighs one down far less than a kit of another fiber on a long hike.

Its tight weave also makes my jute ropes very durable, although one should be weary of other suppliers. Traditional jute is loosely woven which results in a very short lifespan for the ropes. When buying jute, it's important to ask about the weave.

Jute ropes have enough grip to stay in place, but not as well as hemp. Careful tensioning is very important when rigging with jute ropes.

Jute also requires more handling when going through the wash. Jute ropes must be stretch dried under tension to prevent shrinkage.

Safety for Both Partners

• Communication is important! Know and communicate your limits, experience and ability.
• Make sure you trust and are really comfortable with your rope partner.
• Do not play while intoxicated.
• Always check in before the first time you play with someone "” don't assume they know what they're doing or how to be safe. Make sure you both feel comfortable with each others abilities, and have hashed out what exactly you're going to do before the rope comes out. Figure out and discuss ahead of time what your plan is, and what your boundaries are.
• Know and communicate your aftercare needs (cuddles, comfort, snacks, space, etc.) before you play.
• Have safety shears on hand just in case.
