How to Find Vegan Bondage Gear

Even though leather predominates in the bondage scene, you don't have to violate your ethics to participate! With some careful shopping, you can find vegan bondage gear that is just as sexy as leather…or perhaps even more so.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Decide what type of bondage gear you want. For example, you might be looking for restraints, collars, gags or blindfolds, or you may want an accessory such as a whip or paddle. Knowing exactly what you want will make your search easier.

2. Realize that some bondage gear, such as hemp rope, is naturally cruelty-free (at least until you use it on your partner). Pleather and latex fetish clothing goes well with bondage and is another naturally cruelty-free option.

3. Visit specialty shops online. One online shop in particular, Veganerotica, specializes in vegan bondage. They also do custom work if the object of your dreams has not yet been designed.

4. Peruse sex toy catalogs online. Blowfish has an especially extensive catalog with a section devoted to bondage. You will find that many of these items are leather, but some are made of rubber, synthetic materials and plastics. Some may have leather parts even if they are mostly made of vegan material, so email or call the seller to confirm that your choice is vegan.

5. Correspond with websites selling bondage gear if you cannot find what you want, making it clear that you are vegan. Some websites will attempt to expand their catalog when you make a request, while others may direct you to another source for your purchase.

Tips & Warnings

• Buying from a specialty store, such as VeganErotica, will usually be more expensive than buying what happens to be vegan at another store. However, the items will be of high quality so the extra expense is worth it.
• A trip to a local shop selling sex toys may be a good addition to your search. Because you might not find vegan bondage gear there, though, wait until you have some other sex toy needs. That way you won't be disappointed!
