How to Choose a BDSM Choker?

What Is a BDSM Choker?

The BDSM choker is very similar to a collar; it is made from leather, vegan leather, or metal, and it is worn on the neck. It is usually a tight-fitting model that hugs the neck and highlights the delicate curves of the neck. Very few accessories symbolize the relationship between a dominant and a submissive in a way a choker or a BDSM collar does, as it is given as a token of a strong, devoted relationship.

The collar or choker you choose for your BDSM scenes or for your relationship must feel good for the submissive and be visually pleasing for the Dominant. Because there is no single right choker or collar for everyone, we invite you to check out our selection of BDSM chokers.

How to Select a BDSM Choker?

The choker you select needs to be well-fitting and should never be too tight, as it may harm the wearer. The next consideration is the look of the choker, as the visual appeal has an essential role in wearing a choker. We already covered how to choose a BDSM collar, and here we share the main factors you need to know when choosing a BDSM choker:

• Design – the design of the choker is vital, as you want a model with a striking design that stands out on the sub’s neck and clearly emphasizes the symbolic meaning. We suggest you look for leather or vegan leather models that have an O-ring in the middle and are visually pleasing.
• Size – measure the wearer’s neck and check the product description for a precise sizing guide, mainly because the BDSM choker needs to be well-fitting and sit in the middle of the neck. A too-tight choker will choke the wearer, and a too-lose choker will slide down and sit as a collar at the base of the neck.
• Material – the best materials for chokers are leather, vegan leather, and metal, as these are all body-safe and comfortable. However, first, check with your partner and make sure they are not allergic to something and choose accordingly.
• Accessories – it is very common for the BDSM chokers to have some additions like an O-ring/D-ring, a leash, a tassel-like pendant, a padlock, or even nipple clamps.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a choker and a collar?

Can I wear a choker in public?

Yes, you can wear a choker in public. If you don’t want to show it as a BDSM item, you can combine it with appropriate clothes.

However, if you want to show off your preferences, you can wear your heavy-duty choker in public in whatever combination you wish.
