first toys

[hurt me]

When you first started out in the world of bdsm what toys did you have were any of them home made. As i am pretty new to this and dont thave a shop near me to buy stuff and also not really wanting to spend a lot of money does anyone have any ideas for home made toys which can be made from things lying around the house or things that are cheap to buy.

Lots of every day things can become perfectly good and "effective" toys...... wooden spoons, clothes pegs, masking tape (doesn't leave a residue on the skin but is bloody sore to get off). Dressing gown belts make for good bonds, nice and soft on the skin - depends on how nice your Dom/mme is feeling I guess
You don't have to spend a fortune on toys to have fun, just use your imagination around the house and I'm sure you'll come up with lots of innovative uses for different things lying around.

Good luck !

Metal shower rods. Make great spreader bars. We took one from our old place, drilled a series of holes along the length, and put steel O-rings in each hole. Whatever restraints you want to use can be run through the O-rings at whatever distance you wish

Dog collars are great--something wonderfully humiliating about wearing a collar that's normally on a pet. I like clear medical tape--no residue, won't rip off any flesh, but does a great job of taking off hairs. Belts, of course--for anything from binding to gagging to whipping. Clothes pins, alligator clips, hair clips--all great for nipple and clit owies. Brushes make great paddles.

The average house is just full of fun stuff

There is a thread here about alternitive flogging devices. It has some very good ideas. Also blue painters tape is good for a lot of things. You can buy rope at a hardware store, don't get one that is too thin, it will leave marks. There is a course in the dungeon about rope tying.

You don' t have to spend a fortune on toys. There are so many convenient items at home that can be easily "altered", as some of the above posters mentioned. and then, of course, the do-it-yourself toys, also from some unobtrusive sourse. Rubber floggers are a favorite of mine... or the uses chopsticks and kebab sticks can have. or sandpaper/scrubbing material. I often get dreamy when wondering through a kitchen or hardware department, seeing sooooo many possibilities to have fun!

Almost all of my toys are homemade.
I cut two straight branches from the tree outside, and the ends, when held by my extra-thick hair elastics, make good tit presses. I have clothespins with five lead fishing weifghts hanging from them for my nipples, and a locking pipe wrench (it's heavy!) to clamp down on my clit. I have the broken off and smoothed leg of a chair for my cunt, or there's the usual assortment of handled household implements (my favorite is the hammer handle, though the broom handles, screwdriver handles and flashlight handles are good too.) You can get a roll of clothes line fairly inexpensively too, and with a couple of plant hooks set firmly into the studs in the walls or ceilings, you have a ery inexpensive setup for suspension.
My youngest child just turned one, and so went the bay bottles. The baby bottles now get filled with either hot or ice water and get pushed into my cunt; the bottle brush gets inserted into my ass or my cunt, or rubbed against the clit (if you want to put it in the ass, get a separate one, to minimize the risk of infection.)
I have a large wooden hairbrush; the flat back is a great paddle; the ridged, 'easy-grip' handle is an easy grip...by my cunt walls! A branch cut from the mulberry tree out back (I cut a bunch in early spring, strip them of their bark and soak them in the bathtub while I'm taking a bath. They make great switches/canes, or you can get the long bamboo stakes for tomato plants at your local nursery/plant seller.
Next time you walk thhrough the hardware storem, use your imagination, Lots of things in the hardware store can get me wet just thinking about them; the same with home improvement warehouses, and kitchen supply places.
The grocery store is another place. Cucumbers and carrots are the first things that come to mind, but small baby potatoes in the cunt can feel like vibrating balls when you walk around with them on there. So can brussels sprouts, if you want something smaller. Long baking potatoes can be washed, peeled,and carved into a variety of different shapes, or if you're large enough, they can go in whole.
I think that's all I can think of; let me know if any of that helps!

[hurt me]

That was helpful. However i am male not female but a lot of that stuff could be adapted.

A "toy" can be anything that you use wisely. Honestly, my Master can walk into a room without a single "store bought" sex toy and work with what he has. In fact, a great place to find "toys" and "tools" is a kitchen store. Especially if you are into the extreme. And, the very cool thing is that it is much cheaper to make toys out of ordinary things AND it is fun to go places and have people look at you trying them out because they have NO IDEA what you are doing with them. LOL

[MrJerseyGuy]

The question seems to be pretty well answered...

Personally, I love buying toys at the porn shop but more in the context of having her make the purchase for humilation purposes. Its a turn on for me and she knows it. But realistically...a neighborhood hardware store should provide everything you need inexpensively.

i have a lot of bamboo canes for tomatoe plants and that sort of thing in my garage and was wondering what sort of marks they would leave because i am not wanting to make marks on my body which will last for a long time.

[Dslave]

Marks depend on two things... the force of the action and the type of flesh you have (and where you have it). You can welt and bruise from a licorice stick, if you have enough force and tender flesh. For instance, I don't bruise easily. Though, I bruise on my legs more than my tits. And, my Master is VERY harsh. But a lighter touch or more tender flesh (even the color flesh) will make a difference. As a general rule, canes usually do pack a punch. But, it all really depends on those two things. My advice, start out slowly and less rough and work your way up to a doable point. And then make note of it for next time. And, that doesn't just pertain to bamboo canes, that pertains to just about everything.

[Barton]

That is true Dslave. Red twizlers make a tasty flogger. And they can leave a mark if you are not careful.

I am a great fan of homemade toys and actually have quite a large collection. Most of the toys I made were for use with a female but they can be adapted for use on males also. Cutting boards make great paddles. Ping pong paddles also. I bought some rubber balls at a dollar store and small dog collars. I punched a kitchen knife through the rubber balls and made a slit all the way through and then pushed the dog collar through the slit in the ball and voila, a ball gag that buckles. I also visited a plumbing supply store and bought several different kinds of toilet bowl rubber flappers (you know the piece that fits into the hole where water flows from the tank into the toilet) These make the greatest harnesses to hold vibrators and anal plugs in place. I just added lengths of ribbon to the slots on either side at the top and used the little chain that is already attached to the bottom to hook it on to a belt so it will stay in place. My master likes to tie me spread eagle and then put this on me and use the remotes to control the intensity of the vibrators he puts in the harness. He will sit in a chair in front of me and read or write and just let the vibrators drive me crazy! Most of the time he will let me get to the edge of starting to orgasm and turn the vibrators off until i calm down, then he starts it all over again. When I finally do cum its very intense.The plumbing supply store also has hard rubber O-gaskets in all sizes with a lip attached you can make slits in each side of them and thread a elastic headband through each side to tie it on the back of your head to secure it, the O-gasket you insert into your mouth and it forces your mouth to remain open for oral servicing. I also found some of those handheld suction pore cleaners at the dollar store for a dollar apiece that work great on my clit and my nipples. MMMMMM it also vibrates. Little metal hair clips make great nipple clamps we hang fishing weights to them for extra intensity. I bought a bag of scrap leather at a hobby store and it had all different kinds of strips of leather and I simply folded a bunch in half and tied another piece through the loop it made and then around the top of the loop and tied it . It made a great flogger. Battery operated toothbrushes make great little miniature clit vibrators. Use the side without the bristles. Or if you are into more than a little pain use the bristlely side! Bungee cords make great floggers also. Each one has different kinds of innereds so if you take the outside layer off you will expose a bunch of strings of elastic rope. Tie knots in the ends and you have a cat of 9 tails. I got some thin dowel rods and using my bits of scrap leather I cut out two triangle shaped pieces of leather and glued them to the end of the dowel rod . Then i sewed the leather triangles together as close as I could to the dowel rod to give it extra attachement to the dowel, I then used electrical tape and wound it all the way up the dowel rod. Made a great riding crop. I bought several old wide leather belts at the local thrift store and cut the buckle off sewed the ends together and the sides and made a great leather strap for spanking. Abdominal excersize machines ( like an ab-roller)with the seat make a great spanking bench that your dom can strap you to. You can also sit on the seat and your Dom can rock you up and down his cock while your sitting up or laying face down over the ab-rocker. Paint stirrers are a great spanking toy. We bought large diameter dowel rods and screwed eye hooks to the ends of different length dowel rods and made home-made spreader bars. I have bought several leather coats at thrift stores and took them apart and made sex slings. Wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, collars, even hoods. Saran wrap makes a great bondage toy. Take a spreader bar for your legs and wrist and ankle cuffs into the bathroom ( or even your closet clothes rod will do) and have your Dom cuff your hands above your head to a couple of strategically placed shower curtain hooks on your shower curtain rod or clothes rod. This makes a great place to be able to indulge in whipping scenes with out drilling attachment points into your walls! Walmart sells a dog toy that you can insert a treat into that is in all different shapes and sizes some of these are suitable for butt plugs or dildo's the best are the ones that are ribbed and increase in size from top to bottom! One of wal-marts cat toys come on flexible rods with a feather attached to the end on a string i have used these to make different kinds of crops. Buy some metal or wood miniture letters and glue them to a paddle and it will leave an imprint of those letters after spankings. We have one with slut and one with my masters initails. I love being marked with them. Almost like being branded with his initials but less painful or permanent! Panty hose make a great bondage rope. You can drill a hole close to the pinching end of a clothes pin and insert a screw so that you can adjust the tightness of the clothes pin! Voila adjustable nipple clamps! You can even use plastic clips with rubber on the ends and melt a hole through the pinching end and insert a screw for another set of adjustable nipple clamps. Allow room for your nipples to be clamped but get the screw on that end or it won't work. Also you can use tool dip to put a rubberized coating on the end of your dowel rod crops to create a handle. Just dip over and over until you get the desired thickness you want.
I could go on and on but, it's late here! So for now good luck, and enjoy making your new toys! I will add some more things later! Hope this helps!
