Shibari suspension ring

A suspension ring allows for more even distribution of a person's weight and contributes to the safe enjoyment of Rope bondage play. When used correctly, your partner will become part of an exquisite piece of art.

The ring is made of stainless steel bar stock and has a 14.5mm (~ 9/16") diameter. The inside diameter is 16.5 (6 1/2 in) and the inside circumference is 19cm (7 1/2 inches). The ring weighs a total of 1.60 lbs (1 kg) lbs.

This item can be used with a special Japanese Rope bondage artform called Shibari. It's a practice that's as much about presentation as it is about pleasure.

A Personal Note from Robin

I have found that this ring is available online in brass, steel, iron and stainless steel. I personally prefer the stainless steel as it provides a anachronistic nexus between the old world (hempen rope) and the new world (stainless steel).

There are so many, many knots available to us all. There are three specific knots that I will talk about here.


This knot can tie two ropes or two ends of a rope together.

This knot is used to tie a non-slip loop on the end of a rope

I think the usage of this handcuff knot is self-explanatory

The name of the game is "Bondage and Discipline", not "Cuffs and Discipline". Bondage is an elemental part of B&D sessions. If you are insecure about your knot-tying abilities, your client will definitely notice it.

These three knots above should be considered 'bare minimum requirements' for anyone wishing to do sessions. For safety reasons, you should also be able to tie and untie them in the dark.
