Thanks for asking! Check out Bänana’s class on the topic here!

Hi! Great question! We don’t recommend using these ties for suspension, however you can find suspendable bent leg ties here and suspendable versions of the leg lacing shape here!

Replied on Using Carabiners

I’m not sure I follow. Do you mean that the carabiners on the ring move between being parallel with and perpendicular to the plane of the ring?

Also the downward pressure onto the cuff from the bottom’s body weight and active engagement of the tie!

Thanks for asking! That makes sense. You can take a look at the technical definition of a TK in our glossary. In this instance it’s called a TK to differentiate it from other variations of the butterfly harness that make different shapes, like the strappado variation seen here.

That would create an imbalance in the harness and lessen the hip support it provides. We recommend sticking with the pattern as it’s presented. Can you say more about what specifically you’re struggling with?

Thanks for that suggestion! I’ve updated the description to link to the specific booty basket that they use, as it’s important to use that specific one for the sequence. And I linked the a calf binder that will work well in this sequence. As for the TK, we suggest you work with your partner to find the one that suits them best.

Hi! Great question! Check out this armbinder pattern from FredHatt and then see about combining elements of this with the additional chest support from Gorgone

Check out our geeking about SCT video series and let us know if that helps!

Great questions. Whether or not this is a stressful position will really depend on the person being tied (not to mention that some people like to be tied in somewhat stressful positions). As for the rope on the elbows, if the bottom was hanging their whole weight on that line that would likely cause nerve problems! In this case, the final position is as shown with the model standing. This means that if the rope starts to bother the elbows it’s easy for the bottom to lift their elbows and the top to adjust the rope. Having the shelf will likely feel like a nice support rather than a problem!
