Collars can be worn for different reasons. Maybe it’s a fashion statement, just for fun & play, or it could be a sign that someone is spoken for in D/s terms. A collar may be a physical sign of commitment to a person or a relationship, much like an engagement or wedding ring, within the Dominance and submission lifestyle.
Some people wear their BDSM bondage collars 24/7, and others wear them only for play. We know some folks who wear their collars to feel grounded during a stressful day or if they are missing their partner and wish to feel close. Whatever their reason for wearing a collar, it should be respected.
While a person wearing a collar may be shouting loud and proud about their submissiveness, it doesn’t mean you can automatically touch them or play with them. This is a common assumption and one we have seen on many occasions during our erotic bondage classes. Rather than risking being thrown out of the venue for predatory behaviour, you should always assume you can look but not touch.
BDSM Collar Safety
A collar should fit well but not be so tight that the wearer finds it impossible to breathe comfortably. Make sure you can place one or two fingers in-between the skin and the collar. If not, the collar is too tight and needs to be loosened.
Occasionally we meet couples where the dominant partner wants the other partner to wear a collar during play, but the submissive partner starts feeling claustrophobic once the collar is fastened. In these instances, it's much better to find something different to wear, like a ring or a bracelet.
Play Starts... Now!
For folks who wear a collar for play only, the process of bringing out the coveted collar, and having it placed around the neck, is a sign. Power is being handed over to the Dominant so the submissive can relax in the knowledge that they are no longer in charge. They can safely alter their mindset and enter sub-space. For the time the collar is worn, the established roles are observed. Once the scene finishes and the collar is removed, the usual power balance is restored between the couple.
Types Of BDSM Collars
There are lots of different collars to choose from, and one for every taste, style and relationship. Leather collars and Vegan collars, coloured collars, studded collars and everything in between. We stock a fantastic range that is sure to satisfy you or your submissive.
We even hand-craft our own Sh! collars in different colours and styles, right here in London. Let's take a closer look at them.
Princess Collar with Studs
First of all, we have Princess Collars. These dainty collars are 0.75 inches wide and decorated with stainless steel studs. Each collar has a centrally riveted D-ring to clip a lead or thread rope through. Or, you could decorate it with a beautiful lock at the front.
Princess Collars are one-size and fits up to 15 inches neck. Available in three striking colours and lined with matching suede, these are comfortable to wear throughout the day.
Princess Collar with Spikes
If you favour a more fierce look, we also handmake delicate bondage collars with a darker side - fit for punk princesses! This slim leather collar is stylish enough to add kink to an outfit but looks best when worn with only naked skin…
The measurements are 0.75 inches wide, and the collar fits a neck up to 15 inches. The D-ring is sturdy and looks great with a length of chain threaded through to attach wrist or ankle cuffs.
Wide Collar
Hand-made in quality coloured leather and lined in matching soft leather, this bondage collar compliments any outfit. Comfortable to wear, this 2-inch collar is sturdy enough to handle the strongest bondage. For those who want to go the whole hog, we also make matching wrist and ankle cuffs.
The wide bondage collar is available in 3 colours and 2 sizes:
- S/M: Fits 13 - 16-inches in circumference
- M/L: Fits 15.5 - 19.5-inches in circumference
Luxury Slave Collar
If you want to treat your slave to a super-deluxe collar, look no further!
Hand-crafted from black leather, each collar is trimmed with sensual suede. This stunning flash of colour and contrasting texture really makes the luxury collars stand out in a crowd. Tough enough to handle heavy-duty bondage or domination, these collars are top-quality with soft padding for a comfortable experience. A solid, central D-Ring is perfect for clipping a lead.
These luxury collars are available in two sizes:
- S/M fits 10.25 – 14-inch circumference
- M/L fits 13.75 – 17.5-inch circumference
For a luxury look, matching ankle cuffs are available.
Vegan Bondage Collars
We understand that while some want to wear a collar, leather is not an option. Therefore, we handmake the Princess Collars and the Wide Bondage Collar in rubber too.
The rubber collars aren't lined, so a little more uncomfortable to wear. They are, however, more purse-friendly so a good option to start off with. Each rubber collar, like the leather versions, is strong with a securely riveted central D-Ring.
