I’m a practical guy so this blog will focus on the practical aspects of chain bondage. We’ll discuss simple, how-to things that make life in chains, well, practical.
For instance, I wear men’s size 10-1/2 shoes or about average size feet. A 15-inch chain between my ankles will just let me step over the edge of a standard bathtub. I must stand on trip-toe to do it but it works. 15-inches also lets me climb stairs and step ladders but is half my normal stride of 30 inches so it is nicely restrictive. I can walk in shorter chains but 15 inches is a nice length for enjoying bondage while still being able to function around the house.
Warning: Install sturdy handholds on your tub if you climb in and out wearing leg irons. It’s easy to slip and hurt yourself! Hardware stores carry tub handrails for old people - get a couple and put them on your tub. Don’ trust the shower curtain rod - it won’t hold even a small person’s weight.
