I am looking to expand my collection of bondage/fetish items and am wondering where I can find some cool items without breaking my bank account.
Some of the stuff I am looking for is a spider gag, large ball gag, harnesses and what not.

Thank-you for any help.

I think I missed the aisle there with spider gags and ball gags, or you might mean make them myself, which would go bad. I do use them for rope and other supplies, but they don't have alot of what I need.

Go to your local adult book, video and magazine store. Many of them have an assorted array of bondage and SM toys.

OR, go on EBAY. As long as they are props and not going to be used (eww) many items are fine to buy second hand. I would still wash them with alcohol, then with lysol and if possible put in the dishwasher.

My $0.02.

Home Depot is great for ropes, clips, etc. And you can order just about anything else you might need off the internet. www.stockroom.com is the online website for JT's Stockroom and they have just about everything there.

EDIT: That link is 18+ obviously as they sell bondage and fetish equipment.

My exlcusive supplier for ballgags is http://www.flashington.com these are high quality washable gags with a nice leather strap and a roller buckle, he keeps sizes in stock from 1.5" (small) to 2" and I think bigger, The most common size is 1.75" but for model with smaller mouths, the 1.5" come in handy too, the straps are interchangable and a couple of different colors, and the balls come in a rainbow of colors. They clean up easily and hygenicly for years without wear and tear or rubber break down.. I have some of his very first ones he produced (samples)back in 2001 and he inspected them this past year for wear and tear, and they look as good as the day they were made, and I use them alot in most all my bondage photos since 2001.

Before that I bought gags from sub-shop.com as well as different leather and stainless over leather cuffs and collars.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Sub-shop and Flashington and never had problems with either of them.

Flashington makes a top-notch quality product and is absolutly committed to customer satisfaction.

Sub-shop frequently runs specials, just keep checking their site regularly to see if the discount codes apply to the stuff that you're interested in.

Unfortunately, the stuff retails for a significant price, so it's difficult to find good stuff cheap.

The folks at one local manufacturer gave me a trunk full of stuff (including some that was too extreme for my tastes), and they later licensed one of my images (with their stuff) as the cover for their catalog.

Here's some links:

They have user ratings and personal testimony...so you know what you're buying and if people have liked or disliked items. Great service and fast shipping.

I also say.....ebay if you want a cheaper route smile

Yes it does, but the only place I could find a spider gag wanted $116 plus shipping, I could have sworn I found a site through the threads before that had them for around $60. I tried searching the threads again, but yeah typing in bondage or fetish is like going to google and typing in porn.

As for making the items myself, I don't have any way to weld stuff, so now I have to buy a welder or rent one, see sometimes easier to just buy.

These are props for photos, a ball gag is put in the mouth, I'm not buying a used one(2nd hand) one. If I wanted to do that, I found a website that works like Netfilx for sex toys(my stomach still gets a little queasey over thinking about a 2nd hand blow-up doll).

Thanks for the great links, I am saving them to my favorites, so you dont see me on here next week posting the same junk.

We also highly recommend both the sub-shop for most general materials (http://www.sub-shop.com/) and Flashingtons for ball gags (http://www.flashington.com/Flashington_ … _gags.html). The one thing we like about the sub-shop is that most of their restraints are sized for women. Unfortunately for us, most commercially made restraints are sized for men and useless to us.

If you are looking for custom metal restraints, we know someone who does custom work at very reasonable prices and the quality is very good.

Yeah... http://www.sub-shop.com was what I was about to suggest. They've got lots of fun goodies there.

Any of the links there will lead you to excellent quality vendors of all manner of BDSM and fetish supplies. Do your research and shop around.

If you're looking for things that fall more into the mainstream category I will plug my own site, and heres why. http://www.sextoysex.com/naughtycat (yup, 18+, duh) This site is an affiliate site. I had two choices when I was setting it up. Either make more commission and charge 100% of wholesale (meaning a 10.00 toy will cost you 20.00) or make much less commission and charge 50% of wholesale (that 10.00 toy will now only cost you 15.00). I chose the latter of the two. It made a lot more sense to me to have customers saving money rather than me making money. I'm not in it to make money, frankly that site just sits out there in cyberspace most of the time. I make money off of my regular jobs and modeling. There are much easier ways to make money than a sex toy site. smile

So at any rate, the prices are much cheaper. I would encourage you to do the research to decide for yourself though. If you can find it cheaper, great. Everybody wants a good deal, right? Just be sure you are paying attention to quality, on items like this skimping too much on quality is pretty obvious in the end result of the images.

Feel free to send me a message if you want to know more. I've been working at an adult store now for 3 1/2 years, and have been involved in the BDSM lifestyle within my community now for 4 1/2 years.

Being as I am usually one of the vendors at LF+P (Pleasure Paradox in this case),

Thanks.

For those interested we do custom leather restraints as well as some other items, such as Stainless Steel spreader bars, but we are not usually the lowest in cost, but that is because all leather items are hand made. We were deciding if we were going to continue this next year, but by vote of the remaining partners we are still going to be around for 2007.

Another site to try is Rainbow Rope, http://rainbowrope.com

Their core product line is rope, all kinds and about a zillion colors but they also have other toys and safety gear as well.

I recommend Eros Boutique: http://www.erosboutique.com they have good merchandise (although their prices are a tad high). I recommend you shop there and at some of the other stores looking for things you might want, and then see if you can't find them on Ebay.

For "Damsel in Distress" props:

Rope, duct tape, chain, locks: Home Depot, Lowes

Cloth gags, thin: Any fabric store's remnant shelf

Cloth gags, thick: Any Autoparts store: Look for 2 foot by 2 foot diaper cloths - they don't leave threads when removing car wax from a car, and don't leave threads in a model's mouth.
