Common questions about bondage furniture at home

How do I set up bondage furniture safely at home?

Place the piece on a flat, stable surface and check that it does not rock or slide. Keep it away from narrow walkways and test the stability with your own weight before adding restraints. If the furniture has removable parts, like padded inlays, fit them before play so you are not fiddling with small pieces mid-scene. Do a stability check every time you move the piece.

How do I use a tickling pillory?

The Schlossmeister Foot Tickling Pillory is designed for foot and wrist restraint with padded inlays. Start by having the person in the pillory test the fit of the wrist and foot inlays before locking anything. Because the inlays are held by magnets, make sure they are seated flat. Use the hasps to secure the stocks, and keep the keys or release mechanism within reach of the person being restrained. Always agree on a release signal before the hasps are closed.

What should I check for bondage seat safety?

Look for a wide base, non-slip feet, and a height that lets the seated person keep their feet flat on the floor. Avoid seats that tip when weight shifts forward. If the seat has restraints, check that they can be released quickly and that the person can still breathe and speak clearly. Test the seat's tip resistance by leaning forward and sideways before use.

How do I care for a leatherette pillow case?

Hand wash the leatherette pillow case in cool water with a mild soap, then air dry it flat away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Because it is lubricant safe, you can wipe off lubricant with a damp cloth after use. Store it flat or loosely folded to avoid permanent creases. Keep a dedicated towel nearby for quick cleanups after play.

How should I store bondage furniture?

Store wooden pieces like the tickling pillory in a dry room away from radiators and damp. If you need to disassemble it, keep the screws and small parts in a labelled bag taped to the piece. Leatherette items should be stored away from sharp edges and direct sunlight, which can dry out the surface over time. Take a photo of the assembled piece before disassembly for easy reassembly.
