WHAT ARE THEY?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Bondage paws are another accessory you can use during your \u201cpet play\u201d. They can be for any animal that has \u201cpaws\u201d (not just dogs) \u2013 domestic cats, wolves, etc. The interesting thing with paws is that they are one of the few additions that you can \u201cmake\u201d yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from making you look more like your animal, it can alter the way you move around or interact with objects. This enhances the role play and\/or power-control factors. Adding locks is another step further into this kind of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT MATERIALS DO THEY COME IN?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Since you can DIY them, the sky is the limit, but there are \u201ctraditional\u201d materials or things that are more common. Here are some examples\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEATHER<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 These usually come in \u201cpouch mittens\u201d \u2013 basically bags for your hands. They will either be plain or have detailing that makes them look like actual paws (or a cartoon version). Warning, they can be a bit expensive. Get fake leather for cheaper if you love the look but don\u2019t have the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RUBBER<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 Great for people who have rubber fetishes and need something durable. The more solid rubbers are also all the stronger to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LATEX<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 Not like the Halloween masks, more like the kinky material that people wear as clothing. They can come in many shapes \u2013 from baggies (like leather) to fingerless gloves that are more of a fashion statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FABRICS<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 Felt, fur, whatever. You can have pink polka dot cotton if that floats your boat. They are also easier to sew yourself if you need to save a buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAPE<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 This is a great bondage trick. Wrap your pup\u2019s hands in plastic wrap (to protect them from the tape) then wrap them up snug (but not too tight). You can draw on paw prints too if you want! Also, if you\u2019re worried about allergies, there is \u201cbondage tape\u201d which sticks to itself and not the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no right\/wrong or good\/bad. What\u2019s your budget? Are you just starting out or looking for something that shows you\u2019re more passionate about this kind of play? Is it a gift? Do you have any material allergies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, look at the actual bondage aspect \u2013 is just a pull tie, cosmetic clasps, hard-core leather straps, number of buckles, buttons etc. How is it held on your hand and is it a form of bondage you\u2019ll be comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factor all your details together and choose one that feels right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER THINGS TO WATCH FOR<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The other way to make sure you\u2019re happy with your purchase is to look at the product pictures, read the reviews, look at the number of reviewers, see where it\u2019s made, look at the return policies, etc. You can even message the seller directly if you have more questions. Just make sure you\u2019re not overpaying just because the word \u201ckink\u201d or \u201cBDSM\u201d is part of the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TAKING A LOOK AT ONE EXAMPLE\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I chose a random product from Google search. Let\u2019s take a look at what we have and if it\u2019s worth buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that stands out is the company. They specifically make products for certain kinds of role-playing (age and animal). They also give measurements (however simple). I wish there were more pictures from different angles \u2013 I can\u2019t see the bondage strap, but I\u2019m assuming it\u2019s a buckle. The detailing and construction look good, although suede will get dirty faster than leather. The rivets holding it together look solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now \u2026 the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know leather isn\u2019t cheap, but I\u2019ve bought jackets for less than this. I\u2019m wondering how much of a markup this set has. It\u2019s definitely not for beginners, and even if I was graduating to veteran gear, I would still want to make sure I wasn\u2019t being ripped off. A quick look at the returns policy tells me that returns are only for defective merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
