Actually, we have managed to collect quite a nice little collection of 'stuff'.
We took an old pair of fleece-lined suede gloves, and cut off the hand part. They make wonderful cuffs that don't bite into her skin too much. Then we bought a D shaped bolt from the hardware store, and threaded it through 2 small holes in each cuff. Add a 2 foot length of chain, and padlocks to make the chain any length I want, and hey!presto! magic.
The same worked for ankle cuffs.
The blindfold was easy to come by; we use a sleep mask. Comfortable to wear for long times, but completely obliverates her sight without getting in the way of her breathing. The blindfold was hard for her to get used to; in took quite a long time before she didn't get very upset if I left the room she was in. And the first time I left her flat/apartment while she was tied and blindfolded - that turned into quite a lesson for both of us!! Talk about a loss of her control
A paddle - we tend to use a slipper. It is very easy for me to hold (my hands are not very big), and when it lost its effectiveness, I reinforced it with a thin piece of wood inside it. Very nice, but not used too often. In fact, I had pretty much forgotten about it. Hmmm ...
We made a flogger out of some nice suede we found. It was about 16" long, so we wrapped the top of it around a wooden dowel several times, and stapled & nailed it in place. Then we cut the rest of the length into strips. It works quite well, I must say. My favorite position for this is over the coffee table in the living room. I cuff her wrists near her shoulders, cuff her feet up close to her ass, lay her face down straddling the low table, and flog her. The flogger reaches her hands and the soles of her feet too this way.
Quite creative, eh?
She is going to be spanked quite hard tonight; she has been with her family for a week over the holidays, and has fallen back into her role as hardassed, hardheaded bitch. She needs taking down a peg or two; any suggestions?
