Hogties

Hogties bind the wrists and ankles together behind the back, forcing the body into an arched position. The wearer's chest thrusts forward, their rear end is lifted and exposed, and they lose the ability to use their hands. This position is intensely vulnerable and creates a dramatic power dynamic between partners during sex or BDSM scenes.

Why Choose Hogties

1. Intense Physical Restraint: A hogtie immobilizes both upper and lower body simultaneously. The wearer cannot defend themselves, cannot cover themselves, and cannot escape without help. This creates profound psychological surrender.
2. Position Control During Sex: The arched back and exposed body position creates access for penetration from behind while keeping the wearer helpless. The position feels completely different to penetration with free movement.
3. Psychological Impact: Hogties create visible vulnerability. The position is recognisably submissive and removes all illusion of control. For dominants, the visual and psychological effect is powerful; for submissives, the complete restraint intensifies sensation.

Types of Hogties

Leather Hogties

Traditional leather hogties feature padded wrist and ankle cuffs connected by a central chain or leather strap. The leather is soft against skin and distributes pressure evenly across the wrists and ankles. Leather hogties look aesthetic, age well, and can accommodate different body sizes through buckle adjustment. They work with other bondage equipment easily using D-rings and carabiners.

Nylon Webbing Hogties

Nylon hogties use sturdy webbing with velcro or buckle closures instead of leather. They're lighter, easier to clean, and more affordable than leather. Nylon is often available in bright colours and prints. The material dries quickly if exposed to liquid and requires minimal maintenance compared to leather cuffs.

Metal Chain Hogties

These feature metal cuffs or metal-reinforced leather cuffs connected by stainless steel chain. Metal doesn't stretch, providing absolute immobility once locked. The weight of the chain is noticeable and adds physical sensation. Metal hogties accommodate various body sizes by adjusting which chain link connects the cuffs together.

Quick-Release Hogties

Safety-focused designs include quick-release mechanisms or velcro that opens instantly without fumbling with buckles. Essential if you have limited mobility, health conditions, or anxiety about being trapped. Quick-release allows immediate exit if the position becomes uncomfortable or if physical distress occurs.

Hogties Selection Guide

Who Buys Hogties

Dominant partners in BDSM relationships: A hogtie creates visible submission and removes resistance from the wearer. The dominant controls whether the submissive can move, access what's between their legs, or defend their body. For dominants who enjoy psychological control, the visual effect of a successfully hogtied partner is powerful.

Submissive partners seeking restraint: Being hogtied triggers deep psychological surrender. The position is inherently submissive, restricts all movement, and forces vulnerability. Submissives who need to feel controlled and helpless find hogties more satisfying than less restrictive bondage because escape is genuinely impossible without a key or their partner's help.

Choosing Hogties

• Material Comfort: Leather distributes pressure and looks good but requires conditioning. Nylon is easier to maintain but velcro can lose grip over time. Choose based on whether you plan extended wear or short scenes.
• Connection Type: Chain provides absolute immobility and looks dramatic. Leather or nylon straps are lighter and quieter. Chain is also more intimidating psychologically, which matters in BDSM dynamics.
• Quick-Release Availability: Always check for panic releases. You must be able to exit instantly if the position causes pain, numbness, or panic—even during an intense scene. A quick-release isn't defeat; it's safety.
• Size Compatibility: Hogties have maximum and minimum measurements. Measure the wearer's wrist and ankle circumference and the distance from their wrists to ankles when arms are behind their back. Undersizing causes circulation loss; oversizing reduces restraint effect.
• Padding Quality: Check cuff padding thickness, especially for longer scenes. Under-padded cuffs cause nerve irritation in the wrists and ankles within 20-30 minutes. Thick padding distributes pressure and allows much longer wear without pain.

Looking After Your Hogties

Leather hogties require occasional conditioning with leather cream to prevent cracking, especially if exposed to sweat or moisture. Metal hardware should be wiped dry after use to prevent rust on stainless steel. Nylon webbing is machine washable on a gentle cycle or hand-washed with mild soap. Store leather and nylon pieces separately from metal hardware to prevent staining. Check that all velcro closures are clean and that buckles operate smoothly before each scene. If padding becomes compressed or damaged, it loses its ability to protect nerve tissue and should be replaced.

Goes Well With

Vibrators

Many couples use vibrators on the submissive partner's genitals while they're hogtied. The inability to move, combined with vibration, intensifies sensation and orgasm. Vibrators designed for hands-free use or wearable designs work best when the wearer's hands are restrained and unavailable.
