Patternless Futomomo

In this step-by-step shibari tutorial, Fuoco teaches a Patternless Futomomo with her model Enna. Unlike many other futomomos which rely on a more structured banded pattern to secure the calf to the thigh, this ‘patternless’ variation utilizes more irregular rope placement for a tie that not only looks different to other futomomos, it feels different. As Fuoco explains in the class, this tie is comfortable and great for rope bottoms, show definition who might struggle with the pressure on the shin of other banded futomomos. For riggers, show definition, taking a less structured approach is also an opportunity to learn to approach tying more intuitively. This class is intended for beginner levels upward. Always remember to keep your skill set in mind when applying techniques from any Shibari Study class to your own practice.
