Your ropes deserve better than dust.

If your rope feels stiff, sheds fibers, or just doesn’t move the way it used to—it might be time for a little TLC. In our latest blog post, we’ll show you how to make your own all-natural rope butter at home. With just beeswax and oil, you can restore your rope’s softness, strength, and shine—and reconnect with your gear in the process.

Whether you’re a first-time DIYer or a seasoned rope enthusiast, this step-by-step guide will have your ropes looking and feeling brand new.

In Shibari, safety always comes first. The principle of Bodies Over Ropes reminds us that no tie or scene is more important than the well-being of the person in it. When discomfort or distress arises, hesitation isn’t an option—cut the rope, protect the person, and prioritize safety.

At Bound Studio, we reinforce this commitment by ensuring safety shears are always on hand and extending a Cut-Guarantee on all rope purchased from us. Because rope is replaceable—people are not.

Shibari is more than just rope—it’s a mindset. Whether you're tying or being tied, your mental approach shapes the experience. Confidence, trust, and connection are the foundation of every scene. In this post, we explore how embracing consent and negotiation principles transforms rope play into an empowering and deeply fulfilling practice. Ready to shift your perspective?
