to use bondage tape on dd and dsd?

Dd and dsd both 4 are into the little mermaid at the moment. Dd found a Christmas stocking in the toy box and was wearing it like a fin.

This of course caused arguments because dsd wanted a fin too. I remembered that I had a roll of pink bondage tape in the grown up toy box so I used it to bind their legs from knee to ankle leaving their feet Aw flippers.

The girls were made up with their mermaid tails and had lots of fun but when dp came in he was less than impressed.

The tape is like punk plastic on a roll that sticks to itself but not clothes or skin. It's quite flexible and easily torn to remove it.

So was I being unreasonAble?

YANBU.

No-one 'used a sex toy' on their children.

It's TAPE! I can't believe some of the comments on here!

It's like needing to clean the bathroom but not having any bathroom cleaner - you cannot possibly use the kitchen cleaner...for that, my dear, is for the kitchen!

It's marketing,that's all Grin

Using children's toys in foreplay ?? Confused
Hmm yes you carry on with that, really cool...

I dont think anyone has actually said that they do Ghoulia...

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 06/06/2012 09:50

Bloody hell youarekidding, can you honestly not see why most of us would find using your children's toys as sex aids a bit weird (and not in a good way)?

ErikNorseman · 06/06/2012 09:53

youarekidding pretty much did! Vom.

youarekidding · 06/06/2012 09:56

I have read many threads on here where people have used their children's toy Dr's kits, till for shop role play etc with their partners. I'm not suggesting actually using them for sex (nor have I) but objects are objects and as adults we should be able to seperate sex from innocent play.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 06/06/2012 09:58

Exactly what chibi said. It's not the material itself, it's the fact that you bought it to tie each other (I presume) up, in a sexual context, and your DP came home to find you'd used it to tie up your girls.

I don't know, it's like finding you'd let the kids use condoms as water bombs or something. Would that be weird or fine with people here?

youarekidding · 06/06/2012 09:58

I really wish I could find and knew where to find the thread about the couple who played shopkeepers - I think the OP's OH had a thing for the shopkeeper uniform or something? - and ended up having a great night of sex as a result.

They toys were left clean and unharmed in the making of the thread Grin

squeakytoy · 06/06/2012 10:02

I can just imagine the "till for shop role play" in our house..

him " how the fuck did we manage to spend that much"

me "well you wanted the beer"

him "god I hate shopping, see you at the car"

me "I dont know why you bother coming with me"

yup.. can see that being great fun Grin

RedHelenB · 06/06/2012 10:03

Just another angle here - IF dsd goes to her mum & describes what you've done to her & she knows what the tape is (the mother I mean) it could cause problems between your families so i can see where your dp is coming from.

ThePinkPussycat · 06/06/2012 10:09

Oh I don't know, squeaky. One or both of you could deserve a spanking?

Birdsgottafly · 06/06/2012 10:11

It's a very personal decision, as i said at the start of the thread, i could not feel the same using the tape on my DP once i had used it on my DD's. I know because we had a opposite similar incident.

The image would stay with me and it would kill off any sexual response.

So if your DP feels that way, you have to respect that. It doesn't matter what anyone else's opinion is except the person that you are having sex with.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 06/06/2012 10:28

Indeed, RedHelen.

VashtiBunyan · 06/06/2012 12:25

What do crafters do with tape that only sticks to itself? What are its nonsexual uses?

We have plumbers' tape in our bathroom. It is not like bondage tape. It isn't very flexible.

Rachog · 06/06/2012 15:34

Wow I go to work and then there are all these replies.

I agree it may have put DP off using it together for awhile, I can live with that, it was not often used anyway, we have a black roll too.

I get on well with DSD's mum, and she would not be bothered, she would probably be glad that I make sure things are fair for her DD and probably ask to borrow a bit.

Thanks to those can see that tape is tape is a mermaid tail or anything you want it to be. maybe the black roll could make ds into darth vader.. he would LOVE that!

If it makes him feel better about it, we use the same stuff for various dressings and splints in hospitals Wink . Labelled as self-sticking tape not bondage tape in the storeroom!

FredFredGeorge · 06/06/2012 15:58

If you buy Mermaid tail tape, and then decide to use it for sex, is that okay, or is that out?

(YANBU btw, can't see anything wrong with it)

Rachog · 06/06/2012 16:07

It is very versatile stuff it seems..

I may come up with a range of fancy labels and take it on dragons den, then you can all rush out and buy my mermaid tail tape!

YANBU if you'd used household tape it would've hurt more coming off lol

MsIngaFewmarbles · 06/06/2012 16:11

That is friggin genius OP, I wish I was as creative :)

ToriaPumpkin · 06/06/2012 16:19

Ingenious!

I used to work for Ann Summers and can vouch that the stuff has myriad uses. I still have "Tickle Ties" which are a long length of baby blue ribbon with pink feathers on the ends, marketed for use in bondage. I use them to tie my hair up because I like having feathers and flowers in my hair. Am I going to scar my DS for life by having a sex toy on my head?

fallenangle · 06/06/2012 17:16

I bet the kids would have loved the tickle ties. Mermaids abandoned in favour of being parrots. The kids can use the tape for playing doctors, plumbers etc OP so it won't be wasted.
I love your 'it doesn't matter if we don't put it to its original use, cos we have black as well'.Grin

PUMBA · 06/06/2012 17:52

It's the same as vet wrap or co-ban we use it in a and e all the time !! It just has a different wrapper .....
