Latex fetish wear is a unique and captivating material, known for its second-skin feel, incredible sheen, and ability to accentuate the body’s curves. But unlike regular fabrics, latex requires a special kind of care to maintain its pristine condition, flexibility, and longevity. Proper cleaning and storage are crucial to prevent damage like tearing, discoloration, and a loss of that signature shine.

Essential Supplies for Latex Care

Before you begin, gather your essentials. You’ll need:

• Latex-specific cleaner or wash: Never use regular soap or detergent, as the chemicals can degrade the latex. Many brands that sell fetish wear also offer their own cleaning solutions.
• Silicone-based latex shiner or dressing aid: This is key for achieving that high-gloss finish and making the garment easier to put on.
• Talc-free powder or dressing aid: This helps to absorb moisture and makes the garment easier to handle and store.
• Microfiber cloths: These are soft and non-abrasive, perfect for cleaning and polishing.
• A large, clean basin or bathtub: For washing your garments.
• Padded hangers: To hang the garments without creating creases or stress points.

Breath play—also known as erotic asphyxiation, air restriction, or breath control play—is a form of BDSM where one partner intentionally restricts another’s breathing to create intense sensations. It’s a practice that demands the highest levels of trust, communication, and caution due to its inherent risks.

This is not an activity for beginners. Breath play carries serious dangers, including brain damage, loss of consciousness, and even death. If you choose to explore it, you must approach it with informed consent, skill, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

Electric stimulation within BDSM is a fascinating and diverse realm, offering a unique blend of sensation, control, and intensity. Far from being a monolithic practice, it encompasses a variety of devices and techniques, each providing a distinct experience for those who engage in it. From gentle tingles to intense muscle contractions, understanding the different types of electric stimulation can help practitioners explore this often-misunderstood facet of play safely and pleasurably.

At its core, electric stimulation in BDSM involves the application of small electrical currents to the body, typically through electrodes. These currents interact with nerve endings and muscle fibers, creating a range of sensations that can be both thrilling and highly erotic. Safety is paramount, and it’s crucial to use equipment specifically designed for BDSM use, never household electricity, and always start with very low settings to gauge sensitivity.

Shibari is more than knots and rope—it’s a language of connection, intention, and intense trust. As practitioners progress beyond foundational ties, the demands of rigging shift from simple execution to a nuanced dance of anatomy, physics, and deep interpersonal dynamics. Advanced Shibari rigging isn’t just about aesthetics or suspension—it’s about responsibility.

In this article, we explore the technical intricacies and critical safety considerations of advanced Shibari, ensuring your journey into more complex rope work remains both breathtaking and safe.

1. Advanced Anatomy Awareness

At the heart of every secure and ethical rig is an in-depth understanding of human anatomy.

Nerve Pathways

• Radial nerve (upper arm) and peroneal nerve (behind the knee) are especially vulnerable in advanced ties like TKs (Takate Kote) and futomomos.
• Learn to recognize early signs of nerve compression: tingling, numbness, or loss of control.
• Nerve injuries can occur without circulation loss, so color and temperature are not reliable indicators.

When most people hear “Shibari,” they imagine intricate knots, beautiful rope patterns, or dramatic suspension scenes. But for those who live and breathe this art, Shibari is far more than aesthetics. At its core, Shibari is about intention, trust, and an emotional bond that goes far beyond the physical.

Rope as a Language

In Shibari, rope is more than a tool—it’s a medium of communication. Each wrap and knot carries intention. A firm tie may express dominance and structure, while a slow, flowing rope session might offer comfort, sensuality, or surrender. For many, Shibari becomes a form of non-verbal storytelling between partners.

In the world of Shibari, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of intricate patterns, advanced suspensions, and beautifully symmetrical harnesses. But at Wickedly Woven, we believe that connection—not complexity—is the heart of meaningful rope play.

Whether you’re a seasoned rigger or a curious beginner, it’s important to remember: the rope is just the medium. The true art lies in the relationship between the people tied together by it.

Shibari is more than just knots and ties—it’s an intimate dialogue between partners, a dance of trust, intention, and sensation. And like any art form, the tools you use matter. At Wickedly Woven, we believe your rope should not only support your body—but speak to your soul.

1. The Feel is Everything

The texture of rope against skin is the first thing a partner feels—and cheap, synthetic rope can kill the mood fast. Quality natural jute rope has a raw, grounding, earthy touch. It molds to the body, warms with friction, and holds tension beautifully without unnecessary bite.

In Shibari, rope space isn’t just about the physical—it’s a deep emotional and mental state that both the rigger and the rope bottom experience during a session.

 For the rope bottom, rope space can feel like meditation, euphoria, or complete surrender. The tension of the rope, the rhythm of the tie, and the connection with the rigger all blend into a powerful, altered state of awareness.
