Rubber Bondage & Mummification

Rubber bondage more or less consists of being in bondage while in rubber. That part isn't rocket science. Depending upon your available equipment and the skill level of you or your partner, rubber bondage is actually a good induction into the heavier sports. What makes rubber bondage different from.. say for instance.. rope bondage, is that rubberists use rubber restraints (but also may use rope) and generally are clad in varying layers of rubber while being tightly bound. Tons of toys are at your disposal when you engage in rubber bondage and how much fun you have is only limited by your imagination. I prefer to use rubber restraints such as rubber cuffs, rubber leg or arm binders, rubber straps coupled with several other items. I also like to pair suspension with rubber bondage, although my suspension cuffs are made of leather, not rubber. Obviously with any sort of bondage, DO NOT LEAVE THE BOTTOM ALONE. Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. It's ok to make them *think* you've left them helpless and alone while bound, but this falls under some of the *foolish* things mentioned earlier, just don't do it. Be sure to keep checking to make sure all of their limbs have proper circulation-- latex is tight remember. Now true, this gets harder to check when more and more layers of rubber are added, but you can always check the eyes, breathing, and movements to determine the well being of a bound or mummified person. You may also want to develop some sort of non verbal way of signalling for help. This method of signalling may change depending upon how the bottom is bound at any given time so always be looking out for it.

Mummification is a bit trickier and involves more layers of wrapping and much more needed added safety. Mummification, also known as cocooning, often entails being as tightly bound in either a single or (more generally) multiple layers of plastic wrap or tight latex strips as possible. Usually this form of extreme bondage covers even the face only leaving breathing tubes for the regulation and intake of air (see what I mean about not being able to do this alone?) Cocooning can then be combined with any number of other fun toys like: vacbeds, inflatables or deflatables in conjunction with rubber garments, gags, hoods, sleep sacks, etc. Being SO tightly bound definitely sends the mind inward making it a great time to administer sensory deprivation/overload or breath control on someone (we'll get into those sports later). The easiest way to mummify someone is to start with their arms using whatever material you wish to wrap them with. I prefer to start with one layer of plastic wrap then put several layers of wide latex strips over that. After the arms are finished, wrap them to the the torso on down to their legs. It gets harder to wrap someone after their legs are wrapped because essentially they're immobile and after that point the person doing the wrapping will get the upper body workout of a lifetime. Take care lifting or turning the body's dead weight to wrap them up, the top has to be careful not to strain themselves (I'm always sore the day after I mummify someone.) After they're all nice and snuggly in the layers of wrapping, you can either leave them at that stage or keep adding layers of rubber and more toys. Don't forget to cut out holes for the naughty bits or just leave them covered and continue to add more layers of rubber. *safety note* ALWAYS check to make sure the bottom is not dehydrating. Obviously sweat can't escape nor can they drink fluids so overheating and dehydration is a real concern especially for extended mummification sessions (which can last for hours and hours.)

You'll notice this article (and the subsequent articles) are full of safety notes and many of them may appear to be self evident, but they aren't. The world is not populated by the most intelligent people and we often do flat out dumb shit. When it comes time to playing with breath and life, it never hurts to be overly cautious .With that said, here is another safety note. ALWAYS have a pair of bandage scissors on hand when doing ANY sort of rubber mummification or bondage. You would think that goes without saying, but you'd be amazed how many people would actually hesitate before cutting into rubber in an emergency. Although its a horrific thought having to be cut out of your expensive rubber, it's an even MORE horrific thought trying to explain to the police why your partner was choking to death on his/her own vomit while you sat there trying to unwrap layers instead of cutting them out. Just cut the damn rubber! Don't even think TWICE about it. Bandage scissors are angled, have flat bottoms and a blunt, rounded end to get underneath the bandages. No, regular straight scissors wont work, you'll end up hurting the person you're trying to free. I've had to cut someone out of mummification before so i'm speaking from experience on this one. DON'T hesitate, I cant stress this enough. You can get bandage scissors at any med supply or neighbourhood pharmacy. You can also get them online, this is what they look like: http://stockroom.com/a479.htm and they're inexpensive. You can always easily get new rubber, you won't get out of jail nearly as easily for manslaughter.

so now we know WHAT rubber bondage & mummification is, let's look at some toys.

Play safely!! And remember no one is making you do it, but if you choose to then you may as well be safe and take responsibility for your OWN actions.

Remember.. Goddess knows best.
