If any of the clamps you settle on are too ouchie, just clamp them onto as big a book as they can bite for a few days. It will loosen them up. Find a store that sells things for a dollar, like the Dollar Tree. That is one of my favorite stores...I have found collars, choke chains, and a lovely heavy chain leash (too bad I only bought one). There were cat toys...clear lucite rod with string and some fish toy attached...the rod made a lovely toy once I stripped it down. Several years ago, I found bags of two paddles and a ping pong ball. Wooden paddles...I sanded until it was smooth and the edges were rounded, and then painted it with a little jar of shiny black paint (Walmart, enamel paint for model kits are sold separately). The paddle is LOUD and lovely. <grins> I also found wooden jump rope handles and used these to make ribbon, rubber, and leather floggers. I had to add on to the handles to make the balance good. With some handles, I have used wooden dowels that I cut down. If you want me to go into more detail, just write to me and I will walk you through it. I turned satin rope into floggers as well...and unraveled others for a different feel. For sensation play, I made ones that feel like bunny fur...by sewing tubes of fake fur. For rubber ones, I have split bicycle innertubing into strips, cutting the ends into viper tips. Yeah, ouch dammit, lol. With others, I bought bungee cords at the Dollar Tree, split those open, and stuffed them into the metal slot on the jump rope handles. Sometimes I am lazy about handles and just wind black electrical tape around them. Some are decorated with black velvet...and even ribbons and bead roses. Have you seen that inch wide, black leather trim with the metal holes...that kids were using to make chokers with a few years ago? I made some floggers from it, lol. Leaves lovely pink circles... If you can sew, I can talk you through making sturdy, comfy restraints. I go to a fabric store for some things, like heavy vinyl (found some several years back in a lovely faux snake print, and others in a rainbow of colors), and fuzzy blanket material that you see everywhere nowadays. I line my cuffs with them so no marks are left behind. I prefer leather, but with newbies and people with diabetes or something, I prefer these with industrial strength velcro for fast removal...just in case. I had to hand stitch the velcro in place because one side was very sticky and would mess up my sewing machine. I used a needle nosed pliers to pull the needle through. Now I have seen some industrial strength velcro without that nasty sticky stuff. (Silly people were doing this to encourage people to use it to hold things to walls...) Cheap clothesline under the bed to give the restraints something to be anchored to. Think...spreadeagled. Paint stirrers. I have two sizes, one smaller that I got for free, and a larger size I believe I had to pay a dollar for at some place like Lowe's. Yep, I like to wrap it with black electrical tape (Dollar Tree item, lol) so I don't have to worry about splinters, sanding, and painting. I like the look. Feathers for tickle torture...Dollar Tree, and in a rainbow of primary colors. Small feather boas to drag over the skin when it is extra sensitive from being pink...these are sold in the kiddie section of the Dollar Tree. Soon, neither of you will be able to walk into a store without looking at things...and thinking about what ELSE you could do with them, lol. Best wishes to the both of you.
