From the sadist's point of view it's just a gift that keeps on giving.

I mean I've never seen "getting an itchy, red rash which bleeds when scratched" on anyone's Hard Limits Disclosure Form 1022c so it looks like fair play, right zombiebabe?

OMG (.. modifies profile to add rashes, STD's, death and financial ruin to hard limits...

Using a base like saran wrap and/or stretch wrap first might be an option.

Or a sheet of 90 grit, some nettles, etc. Whatever works for you.

i like duct tape but i dunno if i'm having some sort of sensitivity to it now? like last time we were tinkering with it, my skin started to feel strange in places so i asked to take it off.
he got some bondage tape but that stuff is kind of a pain in the neck =p

duct tape is some pretty strong stuff but if you still want the strength and none of the glue residue, try electrical tape. It's amazing how much hair is left on your skin after it's done its job holding you in place.
Electrical tape is what - like 50 cents a roll?

I love my electric tape! <3

I wear it wound several times around my wrists all the time, and I totally walk around town like that. I wonder if anyone from the general public has seen that and known it was entirely BDSM related. hee. I think it actually looks really cool.

This is a word of warning to the duct tape lovers.

I used it in self bondage. That was 4 days ago and up until this evening I noticed no ill effects directly related to it, except the subspace part really threw me.

I had the worst allergic reaction to the tape. Its so bad. I've got a huge itchy red rash all over me and it can bleed when scratched. Yup, its pretty much hell. Never had a skin irratation like this.

Scratching = BAD!! aloe = love

just wanted to let you know. gotta watch out for that duct tape

Adhesives are a common allergen. Sometimes even the adhesives in bandaids can cause skin eruptions.

I second the advice to use bondage tape that sticks only to itself. Another good option is the rolls of plastic wrap that are used for packing and wrapping boxes and other objects together. Just like Saran Wrap, but stronger and in bigger rolls.

Pallet wrap! Ooh yes! And especially good in winter when I need the extra heat it provides.

My dad goes to chemo treatments and I noticed the tape they use to attach the gauze pad after they remove the iv. It stretches and only sticks to itself. I don't think it had any kind of adhesive on it at all so it didn't rip hair out (not good if you enjoy that feeling) plus it comes in pretty neon colors... the nurse told me it can be found in any pharmacy or medical supply store. Didn't write down what it was called. Is it wrong that seeing that tape made me somewhat excited? Anyone know what kind I'm talking about?

Of course, there of the old elastoplast trick when bandaging ankles etc for sport. You place the first couple of wraps on reverse so the sticky (which is what is causing most irritation), upwards away from the skin and then twisting right side up and keep applying placing the sticky stuff against the bed of reversed tape....... Just a case of improvising with what you have....

That is a really good tip, IB! Yet another use for duct tape, the poor man's fix-all.

The reaction come from the adhesives and if you go to any sporting goods store you can get pre wrap .Its applied prior to sports tape . or use bondage tape with no sticky to worry about .

Yes, I was buying that for mum's bandages post-surgery. It is great stuff especially for an older person's skin that is thin and already irritated from being wrapped in bandages and not having enough air.

You can find it in any first aid section or medical supply store.

Plenty of other uses abound for the creative perverts.

Ok... I use thousands of rolls of "duct tape" in my work in the course of a year. And not all tapes are created equal. (temporary enclosures for work on systems containing hazardous materials)

The cheap stuff uses a latex based glue that is high in chlorides and is acidic to boot... this makes it great stuff for removing warts. (Not kidding, google "duct tape warts" and see that reasearch has shown duct tape is more effective than salicilic acid patchs) This the the near worthless silver crud sold in the average hardware store. It mainly sticks to itself. (Polyken is one brand that is infamously corrosive) Cost is from 99 cents to about 5 bucks a roll.

The good stuff is the Mil-Spec stuff that used to only come on OD Green. The infamous DOD 100 mile tape. Yep, it works. I patched a leaking tire with it and drove for over a hundred miles where I found a tire store to do a permanent patch. (chewing gum around the nail and shoved back in the tire and three layers of tape to hold the nail in place.) You can get it in about any color you want these days and it will secure things for the better part of a year before it starts to break down. (3-M and Nashua are good ones) These tapes will run you about $8 a roll unless you buy by the case. And, you should see what you can do with the 24 inch wide rolls of tape.

The above also comes in "nuclear grade" which simply means it is chloride free and will not damage stainless steel if some of the glue stays on and is heated up. For kinkster applications, not worth the extra expense.

A close cousin to "duct tape" is "gaffer tape". Gaffer tape does not have a colored backing but is more like the old fabric bandage tape and gives a nice non slip grip. The glue does not adhere like duct tape. Alas, gaffer tape is only commonly found in stores in California as it is a stock item for use in temporary lash-ups for the film industry.

Things duct tape is not:
kind to bare skin
good for sealing ductwork.. use aluminum tape for that.
a permanent solution
good for holding together exposed to sunlight (uv breaks it down)

For bondage, I prefer to use vet wrap. Vet wrap is cheaper and does not use a glue that can cause chemical dermatitis in the average person. I keep the duct tape and gaffer tape for stringing the lights for a photo session or putting together a temporary modification to non load bearing scaffolding. Another favorite is packing film. U-Haul sells a 4 inch green roll with a very handy handle. Good for securing all sorts of things. <WEG>

But, the old saw is still heard.. "Duct Tape is the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and binds the universe together."
