Things You Should Pay Attention to When Shopping for a BDSM Collar
BDSM collars can spice up your sex life and help you express the master-slave status in your relationship. The collars can vary in look, design, features, price, and with all of those, their performance. To ensure you have the right collar fit for your fetish needs and kinky fantasies, it needs to tick several marks on your list, namely, the following:
Type: There are several types of BDSM collars designed for different occasions. Leather bondage collars are the most common ones used for roleplaying. A training bondage slave collar is also used for roleplaying but is suitable for posture improvement as well (if the collar is thick enough). On the other hand, consideration collars are a great option when you’re still inexperienced with BDSM or the relationship is still new. Finally, there are collars with more extreme designs and weights designed for those that enjoy heavier BDSM stuff.
Material: The collar’s material is one of the most important things you should analyze when buying a BDSM collar. Most are made with a combination of leather and metal, but the material can vary depending on the type and purpose of the collar. The most common materials used are leather, faux leather, hard or soft plastic, and velcro. They vary in comfort, price, and durability, so you should check how each material feels to get an idea of what you can do with it before choosing your new BDSM collar.
Size: When buying a BDSM collar, it’s extremely important to avoid free-size models. They don’t allow any adjusting, which can make them unusable for many couples. The majority of collars, however, are adjustable and can be set to fit most neck sizes. To find the ideal one, you can measure your or your partner’s neck and add one or two fingers for comfort. This allows you to set it to a perfect fit and have a comfortable and enjoyable kink experience.
Comfort: Comfort is an absolute must when buying a collar. You or your partner will be wearing it for hours at a time, even for the whole day, so it’s important to have something that will be gentle on the delicate neck skin. Most collars have paddings on the inside that make them soft and comfortable for extended wear, but this is not necessarily the case with all collars. If you plan on wearing the collar for longer, make sure it feels comfortable on the inside and doesn’t have studs, hard parts, or rough edges that may feel rough on your skin.
Color: You may think that all BDSM collars are black, but they actually come in a variety of other colors as well. The color can vary from a dark hue to a bright, hippy one or have a combination of colors. The collar can also have a sparkly design, animal prints, and everything in between to match the different preferences of users.
Design: While most toys come with a leash or chain, it’s usually attached with clip fasteners and detachable from the collar. This allows you to add different sex toys to the collar, including nipple clamps, ball gags, hand or ankle cuffs, paddles, weights, or any other toy that is attachable. Some models have a D-ring or O-ring on the front that allows you to attach different accessories, making the collars a great addition to combine with other sex toys.
Accessories: As mentioned above, most BDSM collars have detachable chains. However, they can also come with a variety of other accessories. Most commonly come with detachable handcuffs or ankle cuffs, but nipple clamps or ball gags may also be included in the package. This is a great option for couples who want to have fetish play and combine it with other sex toys to spice everything up.
