Bondara use no frills packaging on their range of ropes and basic BDSM kit and this helps to keep the price down. This rope arrives sealed in a plastic bag that carries some very basic branding in the form of a sticker.
When you remove the rope from its bag the vibrant red colour really hits you. It's a very striking red, in fact it's almost a post box red and it looks stunning. The vibrant red colour blew me away and it's a great contrast with my other ropes which are all black and purple. It looks fantastic over black lingerie or leather restraints.
You get 10 metres (33 feet) of rope in this pack and that is plenty for most play ideas that you may have. It's also available in 5 meter (16.5 feet) lengths and these are a handy size for basic limb restraints.
If you don't like the idea of a red rope then it is available on the Bondara website in black as well. This longer size is ideal if you want to secure your submissive to furniture or dungeon equipment.
This rope is great for use as a restraint due to its texture and there is enough of it to do basic harnesses. I've worn a Pentagram harness using it and that's a great starter harness. It's ideal for anyone looking to learn some basic rope-work. You can google "Pentagram Harness" for some free and easy to follow instructions. There is enough rope here for a harness and I'm of a fuller figure.
One of the things that surprised me about this rope is it's flexibility. I wasn't sure what to expect but as it is a braided rope I was expecting it to be stiffer but is isn't. It's both soft and flexible, lending itself to knot work as well as bindings. I've enjoyed using it and it's now in my BDSM kit bag as it will enjoyed again in future play sessions.
When bound by it I found it comfortable yet tight to wear and this is ideal in my books. I love the fact that when you remove it you're left with a 3D pattern on your skin that looks fabulous. This is the opposite of my other ropes that leave a red mark, I much prefer the dimpled texture left by this one.
I found that its coarse texture makes it bind against itself when used as a restraint. This made it impossible to wriggle out of my bindings and lets face it that's the desired aim of a binding isn't it? It's an excellent rope of use in a corporal punishment setting as you won't wriggle yourself free.
One of its best features though are the tassels, they look so cute. Bondara have used a simple yet elegant solution to rope ends unravelling. They use heat shrink tubing to secure them, this is perfect and the black tubing helps the tassels stand out.
The tassels give an almost burlesque look to this rope and that is a look that I like a lot. I found myself compelled to hold the tassels over my nipples and to make them twirl - yes, I know I can be a big kid at time. They did look rather fetching as a form of burlesque nipple pasties with the red making them stand out.
The Bondara Red Bondage Rops With Tassels is a very tactile rope. You'll find yourself squeezing it, enjoying the sound it makes when it rubs against itself. It is a difficult noise to describe but it sounds delightful.
This rope exudes decadence as it looks so vibrant and feels so tactile. It comes bound in a silk tie and it is long enough to securely retrain a pair of wrists giving you two restraints in one. This silk tie makes storage of the rope a very simple ask. Coil the rope and then wrap the tie around it to secure it until your next play session.

Final Thoughts
If you are looking for an effective rope that has bags of character then this is definitely one to consider. I love it and it is a rope that will get lots of use even after I have finished reviewing it for Bondara. With two different lengths available and also two colours - red and back you can't go wrong. Why have a plain rope when you can settle for one with tassels that stands out from the crowd. You can even use the tassels to tease an erect nipple or two.
I was sent the Bondara Red Bondage Rope With Tassels by Bondara and Cara Sutra and I would like to thank them both for giving me the opportunity to review it for them.
