The original materials used for Japanese bondage are hemp and jute. These materials do not stretch (when properly prepared) and have the property of "holding" a knot very well. Therefore they are very appropriate for bondage.

Because the preparation of hemp- and juterope is a very timeconsuming activity (boiling, drying, burning, oiling), many people are scared off to do this themselves.

If you are looking for good bondagerope without the hassle of preparing it before use we highly recommend BindMe's rope. It is completely prepared, a beautiful knot is added at each end to avoid unravelling and ready for use.
