Harnesses and Bodysuits

Bondage Harnesses

Harnesses and bodysuits are part of BDSM gear and are most commonly made from synthetic or genuine leather. They are used as fetish clothing, but also play a role and purpose in bondage activities. High-quality harnesses usually have strategically placed buckles and D-rings, to which other restraints can be attached with carabiners.

Leather Fetish

Due to its primal origin and durability, leather is the most popular material in the bondage world. It also ranks among the sexiest materials for clothing and sexual accessories, such as restraints, collars, and whips, alongside latex and vinyl.

Just the sight of someone in leather clothing can be a very erotic experience for an individual with a leather fetish. Similarly, the smell of leather or the sound it makes when bent can also be very arousing.

Leather Subculture

The term leather subculture denotes practices and styles of dressing in leather linked to sexuality. It first appeared after 1940, when homosexual men adopted the style of dressing of motorcyclists, thus discreetly communicating their sexual orientation to other gay men.

This led to the development of the first leather gay bars, which were also created following the model of motorcycle clubs, thus providing visitors with discretion and safety from an unaccepting society. The use of leather was a defiance of the stereotype that homosexual men were overly feminine, as it portrayed them as 'macho' men.

Such use of leather also influenced the design of pilot, police, and other uniforms, which is still evident in some caricatures. The very popular brand Tom of Finland, for example, still retains images of men dressed in leather jackets, harnesses, and police caps, wearing tall work leather boots on their packaging.

The use of leather has normalized over the decades, while also transitioning into more extreme fetish societies. Now leather jackets and pants can be found in every clothing store, purchased by everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or fetishes. It is hard to find an individual who does not own some everyday leather garment at home in their closet.

For those who desire harnesses and bodysuits suitable for BDSM fantasies, we have a wide selection of leather clothing in all shapes and sizes.

Harnesses

Most harnesses are not made with the intention of restricting a person's movement. However, like bondage straps, they can be fitted with cuffs, restraints, collars, leashes, and similar bondage accessories with the appropriate additional equipment.

Harnesses and bodysuits can be worn by all individuals, regardless of their role in the bedroom (submissive or dominant), biological sex, identity, or sexual orientation.

They are also available in multiple sizes or can be adjusted with buckles, so they are suitable for bodies of all shapes and sizes.

Due to the wide straps and soft material, wearing harnesses is very comfortable.

Bodysuits

While harnesses are worn only on the upper body, bodysuits also extend to and around the genitals. Bodysuits designed for women usually have an open crotch, while those designed for men have a ring for the penis, so they can be worn during sexual intercourse without fear of them interfering.

When fitting harnesses and bodysuits, be careful not to tighten them too much, as this can irritate the skin, and also do not use them for hanging, as most such products are not designed to withstand such a load.
