What's your #1 rope studio non negotiable?
As our Drills and Skills month comes to an end we have a great new theme. in June we explore predicaments, that exciting dynamic of choice within a tie. My personal favourite predicament element has always been a hair/mouth rope tied to an ankle... its simple, its elegant but also delightfully spicy and can literally be added to any tie to create that aspect of tension and choice.... We have a great predicament challenge coming soon but in the meantime feel free to share a photo of your favourite predicaments and what you love about it, or if its something you've designed yourself an explanation of how it works.

Anyone in the Bay Area / East Bay looking for a rope practice partner?
Hey everyone! I’m fairly new to Shibari and have been taking classes and practicing what I’m learning. I’d like to meet some local people who are also interested in practicing, learning, and improving their rope skills together.I’m in the East Bay. Mainly looking for a platonic practice partner and people to connect with in the local rope community. Feel free to message me

Harness for very large breasts and dealing with boob physics! 😭
I’m losing my mind trying to find a harness that doesn’t make lower wraps dig into my ribs or cause the upper TK wraps to shift and slip.
With TK I can only do low hands, and I’m dealing with stiff chest/shoulder muscles, hypermobility, and nerves that don’t appreciate things being too tight. Breast weight also shifts the rope depending on position and transitions, and even my chest harness lower wraps can slide toward the floating ribs.
There are SO many variations and I’m completely lost. 😭 What harnesses or setups have worked for other people with a similar body type?

Self-tie practice. Developing familiarity, muscle memory, confidence. Enjoying the tension, the texture, the sound of rope. Definitely a switch.

Need some weekend reading? You're in luck because our newest blog post has just gone live! This the second piece we've published by LiteraryLilith and highlights what I love about her writing, which is her contemplative and nuanced takes on how we explore and experience rope – or, in this case, aftercare. Her argument? Aftercare can sometimes become a practice we perform rather than a relationship we inhabit. What if we expanded our understanding of aftercare to recognise that our rope scenes unfold across time, and sometimes the most important questions can't be answered immediately after the scene.
It's a beautiful and genuinely thoughtful piece, and rather than me telling you why, just go read it because I reckon you'll love it too.
