Western shops can have a lot to offer in the way of BDSM equipment and you don't have to be embarassed to go there. They sell good quality crops as well as other things one might not think of such as lunging whips. They also sell hobbles, which are usually lined and connected with chains. A good substitute for hand cuffs and much more comfortable. Also, one can usually buy lengths of good quality leather of different thickness and width for reasonable prices for whatever little toys you might want to make.
