to use bondage tape on dd and dsd?

[Rachog]

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?

I don't think it's about scarring the DCs for life, obviously they wont know what it was.

However if me and DH used this bondage tape and I came home one day to find my DCs using it to tape their legs together to be a mermaid, I would never be able to use it again.

Maybe I am a prude as well, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable and I can understand your DP reaction tbh.

It. Is. Sticky. Tape.

Has anyone raided the rabbit for batteries for kids toys, or vice versa? Is that different?

Im sorry but if we used bondage tape and DH came home to find our kids playing with it, i think he would be upset.

He wouldnt like me shareing his toys or paying good money over priced adult toy for something the kids would mess with and waste

I think it was very creative of OP.

I really don't see the problem. No. I would obviously NEVER include my Dcs in sex games. I would not tell them that the tape was bondage tape. But if I knew that the tape had been used for a game of mermaids, it wouldn't mar my enjoyment of the tape related sex games! I'd probably be more likely to chastise DP for wasting the tape in the first place. It is £10 a roll FGS!
Although, I'd never buy pink! That kind of stuff would be a total dog hair magnet, and the mutt is black!

I may have missed it but if it's cohesive bandage then then it's the same either as vetrap that I have bucket loads of from work and use on the kids (as come in loads of colours including a nice hot pink) or if it's clear it's just clingfilm I've got coloured clingfilm in the kitchen drawer no difference but no one would give a stuff if I used it to make mermaids because neither have sex or bondage in the product description.
I have no issue that you bound their legs either, I used to love stuff like that and so do my lot, it's just imaginative play. Recently dc taped marker cones to hands and feet to be hooves & had a great time, it's not like I got a horse tail butt plug to help (not that we have one!). YANBU, dh doesn't think it's odd either he just thinks it was inventive! If you usually use black anyway np.

It's just tape, it isn't inherently kinky. Just because it can be doesn't mean that is all it is.

I think that's a genius use for it!

I suspect if I was in the position of OP's DP and walked in to see the girls wrapped in it I'd probably look like this -> at first, then this -> when I realised the kids were happy.

Awww...sounds cute..

My STBXH, once wrapped my boys 10 & 11 in duct tape... (over clothes) and they were laughing, and having such a blast, that I didn't step in... Honestly, they were having soo much fun...or at least that is what I thought...

Years later, I find out my eldest son is claustrophobiac!! I asked why didn't he say anything... He told me he didn't want to be teased for being a suck, to his dear new daddy, and younger brother.... Man did I feel bad..

PS... Your story is soo much nicer and cuter! No prob. there... totally different than duct tape! LOL

Eek PAEDO TAPE!!!!

That reminds me, I must return the cucumber to the salad drawer before somebody notices it's missing. Carry on.

Spectacular stealth boast OP - congrats for having a krazee sex life and being so achingly laid back and cool.

(Oh and loving the fabricated 'dh was not impressed' angle to warrant an AIBU thread)

I am a bit disappointed in the OP.

Having never even heard of bondage tape, I was thinking of something heavy duty and long lasting. And was thinking it was used to tape children to their chairs at dinner and the OP was being tongue in cheek.

Pink non-skin sticking tape? Boring.

It's not a particularly 'krazee' sex life just because there's a little toy/dress up box. It's hardly admitting to a suspension fetish just because she has a couple of rolls of pvc tape. Odd.

OP could have posted without DH's input it's AIBU, hardly No.1 Annabel's.
Couldn't care less if it was meant to be a stealth boast, didn't think there was anything to particularly boast about tbh (no offence OP) omg an adult on the internet has sex with her husband in a slightly different way than I have sex with my husband . It's a sex life which is only really notable if you don't have one, otherwise who gives a shiny shite?

Also as a child that was sexually abused by her father can I state for the record the hysterical bollocks from up thread is exactly that. I find it more scary for your children you think that the flimsiest of associations is enough to turn a normal, decent man into a predator that wants to violate his children. Either you or the people you know are very, very wrong in the head.

For the 'prudes' - is something only sexual when it's been bought for that specific purpose? What if I buy pvc craft tape, use it to play with the kids, then that night decide to use it for bondage - the next day can I go back to using it with the kids (the unused parts obviously) or has it now been reclassified as sexual and can never be used elsewhere again?

Is sex like radioactivity, once something's been classified as toxic and --dirty sexual it can't be ok any more?

Bugger, I've been marketed for sex too in the past (meaning generally, as in being a woman, women being objectified as sex objects from time to time - I haven't personally been touted or sold for sex ever, promise) and have actually engaged in sex from time to time. Presumably that means I can't be used to play with kids from now on? Darn, will have to leave the kids with a nun and go to a spa

Masking tape is a bugger on very sensitive skin, stuck tabs of it along my arm when I was putting up posters one day - came out in massive hives so perhaps not.

Well said, Nic.

Very well said Nic. It's disgusting that people have implied that he will now see his children in a sexual way.

Dittany, I might have missed it but where does OP say that the girls weren't wearing clothes? I assumed it was over their trousers.

Err, yup, it was OP who posted about using bondage tape in the thread title.

So I don't really think the argument that it's irrelevant what the tape was bought for makes sense does it?

That was whole point of her post so why keep pointing out it's just tape!?

Personally I couldn't care less what OP does or doesn't do in bed or out of it, and no, the children won't be damaged, I just think the OP is rather disingenuous.

Because the OP hasn't said iirc whether it was bare or not I was just covering all bases especially as 'knee to ankle' might include bare skin if only at the ankle. If it was all done on clothes then my comment was irrelevant, fair enough, although then I'd hope the clothes/trousers weren't of a sort to bobble easily after having sticky stuff on.

And maybe the OP used the words 'bondage tape' in her OP to point out why her DH might have had an issue, not because she personally thinks she's performing bondage on her kids?

FFS, you can buy it in B&Q although only in white. Use this next time and all will be fine.

You could buy the white fin and 'decorate' the fins with glitter etc - that would be fun!
