For example, I once considered taking safety goggles and covering them with duct-tape to make a blindfold, but I just thought that was way too cheap and tacky, no matter how effective it really would be. For the submissives, are there any items or bondage setups that you have seen or heard of that just kind of made you cringe? For me, honestly, I know there are a lot of "frugal dom" guides on the internet and some of the ideas no matter how creative they are, just seem too tacky for my taste.

Status: offline 		Great new thread!

I have seen some homemade inventions that make me roll my eyes and cringe. Most of them I can't even describe. I knew a dom who somehow screwed normal phillips head screws into the ends of his toys with the screw end poking out so that he had a screwable dildo or buttplug that could be attached to various places like the wall or even his home-made fucking machine. Some of you might think this sounds nifty but I promise it wasn't.

Later that night at one of the afterparties, she sat in the corner dejected because no one would let her use it on them.

There is something about a nice old fashioned ruler, I only buy the wooden ones,
the Westcott I am looking at has been around since 1872.
Welcome Jlion, I am enjoying your posts--you are also hot as hell.
So far, you are a breath of badly needed fresh air.

I can't remember all of them, it's been that long ago...  Placed one which was a star right in the middle of her forehead...

Hmm, I tied a girl up with an ethernet cord once... I was suprised it still worked afterwords!  (ethernet cables are pretty fragile and prone to break when you "kink" them)

Status: offline 		OK I am a bit of a toy snob.  I like home made stuff but it has to have personality and functionality.  For example, I have spreader bar that is home made.  It's functional but it is also green which is my signature color.  So it works.  I had a sub once make me a home made version of a KTB using a strip of vinyl, staples and duct tape.

Not some piece of trash someone made when they could'nt even cut the leather straight.
A good flogger is a work of art.

I've got a piece of black metal tube that I could run a rope through and make adjustable knots on each end...  I just have to saw it to the right length, then sand it down...

Status: offline 		Spreader bars are cool homemade toys.  I have several homemade toys and also kinkified toys that are simply vanilla items.  I agree with Bounthyhunter regarding tack shops and hardware stores.  I also find cool things at cookware stores.  But for me, they have to have a certain umph.  I have seen some really bad homemade stuff that either looks tacky or is so poorly made that it is not functional or not safe.  I cringe... ;)

And you get to eat it later! What actually could be better than that?

Oh, licorice strips for bondage don't work at all well but again you get to eat them.

Status: offline 		Let's see things I've seen.... a "crop" that was actually just one of those handle/rod things from venetian blinds... a "leather" flogger made out of cheap "leatherette" vinyl (the kind you'd cover a chair with) cut into strands and duck taped together (what made it really cheap was they insisted it was latigo leather )... a cut down flyswatter "crop"...

I'm all for inexpensive and creative homemade ideas, we can all use them.  But sometimes you really wish someone had put a little pride and craftsmanship into their "project".

Mistress' favorite cheap toy is the free paint stirring stick from Sherwin-Williams.
I have also seen fly swatters that can raise some pretty (nasty) welts.

It would appear that it liked that kink.

Kink on a budget. Nothing better!


* Does it still count as cheap and tacky if you see the same kind of spreaderbar being used on SM websites?
