to use bondage tape on dd and dsd?

438 replies

Rachog · 05/06/2012 22:21

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?

Ten quid for a roll of pink bloody tape??

Shock

Hmm. So the fairy, floaty scarves that have been borrowed for generations by small children for dress-up from their mothers have never, ever been used for more adult purposes?

A thing is just a thing until it is given life by imagination. (And no, I'm not talking about deliberately designed sex toys).

I don't think I like some of your imaginations very much.

RubyGates · 07/06/2012 08:26

Ps YABU for having PINK tape. all good goths know it only comes in black, red, and purple and is mainly used for fashioning impromptu clothing when you discover a gap in your clubbing wardrobe.

OMG Soupdragon have you read the reviews? Disgusting.

Goes on about leaks.... getting the plumber in.... it's all such terribly poor taste.

OMG B & Q is full of stuff that can be used for bondage! no decent rope though

CornishKK · 07/06/2012 09:05

YANBU, you sound like a level-headed, fun, creative Mum. You started a humorous thread and IMO some people are over reacting a teensy bit.

If condoms were cheaper than water balloons then my children would be playing with them Grin

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 07/06/2012 09:17

I don't see a problem with it. Think you are creative though! Bit jealous as I feel I want this pink tape now Grin

doggiemumma · 07/06/2012 09:22

ive been away for a bit, but im glad to see that the loons are still as looney as ever!!

The only thing distasteful about this thread is the suggestion that the OP has done something distasteful.

The DH probably only had an issue because he didn't want to waste it. Christ on a bike - mental thread, love it

fallenangle · 07/06/2012 09:39

Humorous thread, on MN! There is always someone trying to find an exploitative male or exploitation of the workers angle.
Hello SP, reads like your personal life has perked up Grin

QuintessentialShadows · 07/06/2012 09:45

Erm, what about children playing with handcuffs?

Or is it only different if the kids are playing with their parents handcuffs?

I think one has to distinguish between A Thing and Its Use.

Softlysoftly · 07/06/2012 09:51

YABU for having DCs and the time to have inventive sex jealous. YANBU for using the tape in this way.

PPs seriously a bit of pink tape will turn DH into an incestuous peado??????

Oh and reality YABU to use squinty cream ICK!

squeakytoy · 07/06/2012 09:52

what about ice cubes? plenty of people find "alternative use" for those, yet you wouldnt stop putting them in your children's drinks... would you?

TrinityIsAFuckingRhino · 07/06/2012 09:56

I have some of that stuff in black

would make a shite mermaid tail though

I want the pink stuff

sniggering at the shocked people Smile

AnAirOfHope · 07/06/2012 10:03

lol handcuff reminded me of an event from my teens.

I was babysitting for a family friend and he found handcuffs in the dinning room cupboard and cuffed his 5yo dd to a chair. He couldnt find the key and had to brake the chair to get her off it. Then the husdand,dd and me (the 16yo babysitter) had to go to the firestation to get themetal handcuffs cut off lol

The husband then said his dd found them when out playing to the firemen. He repatedly told me they were not for kinky sex or he would have had the key Grin

His wife was not happy and everyone took the piss out of him for a few year Hmm

I just wanted to share!

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 07/06/2012 10:10

The thread title is revolting. You don't have to be sick to find it Hmm

Proudnscary I agree. The op is indeed being disingenuous.

ItWasABoojum · 07/06/2012 10:10

Shock at you paying £10 for a roll of bondage tape. You can get it much cheaper on lovehoney!

As for the rest - the girls had fun, where's the problem? So much hysteria . .

doggiemumma · 07/06/2012 10:15

I saw a documentary about love honey - it put me right off - it was just a warehouse, there was no love, just box upon box of "toys" There was also the poor sod who had to sort out the "returns" ewwwwww. I'll stick to the veggie ilse or my DP thanks :)

Empusa · 07/06/2012 10:18

Oh I saw that documentary, the woman dealing with the returns seemed to find her job highly amusing :)

WorraLiberty · 07/06/2012 10:19

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

That made me snort my coffee up! Grin

It's amazing how different we all are and how some would think a bit of bedtime fun like this, is somehow 'krazee' and 'laid back and cool'.

Yet other's wouldn't bat an eye.

fallenangle · 07/06/2012 10:25

doggie 'just a warehouse* what were you expecting? Up thread there is mention of til role play - I'm thinking maybe Lovehoney returns personnel checking out the merchandise as roleplay. Was there a uniform?

doggiemumma · 07/06/2012 10:25

I was gutted empusa, it was like watching a program about a site selling, well, anything other than sex toys - they could have been selling kitchen utensils or dusters it were that dull

doggiemumma · 07/06/2012 10:26

Fallen I was hoping for a soft environment of love and honey, obviously :)

Morloth · 07/06/2012 10:32

Is it like that tape you use to seal the threads of taps when you are changing them? Blue narrow stuff?

I have some of that in the toolbox! Could be a good night...

youarekidding · 07/06/2012 10:35

You can fix taps with it?

My kitchens pink, my tap is leaking - now wheres that link?

I have no sex life so I can order some yes? Grin
