Great question! You’ll find silk rope to be soft to the touch with almost no stretch. True silk rope won’t compress or hold frictions well, so it might not always be the best choice for many of the tutorials you’ll find here. However, it can be hand washed, which can make it a nice choice for bedroom bondage rope. It’s also important to note that a lot of "silk" rope thats sold is actually just really loosely spun smooth nylon/synthetic which can compress massively and cause really tight frictions. Its also extremely flammable. Good idea to read the fine print, especially when searching for beginner ropes on Amazon!

thank you!!

Hi! This chest harness isn’t available on Shibari Study because Lief sells this on their Etsy store. Looks like the store is taking a short break right now, but you should be able to find this harness back there soon. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4351184478/liefs-hug-harness-20?ref=shop_review

Jamieson Haydn-Smith Thanks for this feedback! We’ll keep this in mind for future productions :)

Diana Schildt Thank you so much for mentioning this. We’re noticing an issue where subtitles will only turn on if the video is playing, specifically for safari users or folks on older versions of the app. While we work on resolving this you could try switching to Chrome, updating your app, and/or toggling on subtitles while the video is playing? If the issue persists please send an email to support@shibaristudy.com and we’ll look into it for you further!

This is definitely one technique you could use if tying someone bigger than you. Another reason you might use a pulley is if you want to lift a whole bondage position all at once as FredHatt demonstrates in a variety of predicament videos such as this one (versus lifting part of the body in one harness and then another part of the body in a different harness, as you would in many typical suspension sequences).

Ignacio Yes! You can suspend this from the back by attaching to the top wrap or the stem between the upper and lower wrap.

Hi! Great question. We wouldn’t recommend just using a quick release half hitch to lock your line, even if you’re building it very close to the U lock. It would be very easy for that to come loose or to accidentally grab the working line and undo your lock. You can however reinforce the quick release with a yuki knot (like Gorgone does here as a bottom lock) and that’s a safe and standard way of locking an upline. Note that this works best on a carabiner or very thin ring, where the lines that you’re closing with your U lock aren't being pulled away from each other under tension.
