Are You Ready for Restraints? A Beginner's Checklist
How it works
Tick what you've covered together. Items marked essential matter most. You'll see whether you're ready, nearly there or not yet, and every unticked item links to the guide that covers it. Print it if you like; nothing is saved.
Not yet, and that's fine
Start with the conversation. Everything below is quick to read, and most of it is about talking, not equipment.

Why a checklist?
Almost everything that makes a first restraint experience good happens before anyone touches a cuff: the conversation, the agreements and a few simple safety habits. A checklist makes sure nothing gets skipped in the excitement.
The essentials in one sentence each
- Talk: agree what you'll try and why (how).
- Limits: know each other's hard and soft limits (guide).
- Safe word: plus a non-verbal signal (guide).
- Safety: shears within reach, two-finger rule, nothing around the neck, never alone (checklist).
- Aftercare: know what each of you needs afterwards (guide).

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if we're ready to try restraints?
If you've talked about what you'd like to try, agreed limits, a safe word and a non-verbal signal, know the basic safety rules and have talked about aftercare, you're ready to try something gentle.
