I know this video is a year old, but I just wanted to point out to anyone new to this that some people can be allergic to certain materials so you should always test it out on your bunny first and wait to see if there is a reaction before getting too in to tying them up. And if you’re the bunny, and already know you’re allergic to certain materials then you need to let your rigger know before hand. That’s all part of the SSC. 😊
I am so glad you brought this up! Its so valid. Like poly makes me break out in hives but nylon is fine. It may be reverse for others, but reactions to materials is no fun. If you are unsure, check what labels you have on your clothes =) Some spaces might be more sensitive than others as well. like my arms can tolerate poly better than my neck. But if it gets anywhere near my collarbone or neck within seconds im having a miserable reaction where my skin is hot, red and unbearable itchy. Where as my arms its just highly uncomfortable. So testing things on sensitive spots is really important. Sometimes you just dont know cause you dont really do it to yourself but its always good to test and be aware so everyone can have fun =D Changing a material isnt a big deal, having to change a scene on the fly you arent prepared for also probably not a big deal, but having issues with materials really gets to you.
The reasons why hemp and specifically jute are preferred for anything involving full or partial suspension is because the ropes don't stretch under tension, and they have much higher friction when pressed against each other in knots and frictions so that they do not slip or loosen once tied. Synthetics feels nice and looks wonderful for ground work. The right rope for the right purpose!
I have hemp and it does stretch under tension over time. I stopped using it because it always goes loose after about an hour and thins out. I stick to cotton now, and for suspension I use that thick flecked blue rope you get in DIY stores (forget what it's called but it's heavy duty), which does not stretch at all on my ratchet winch. I just wish they made it in a monotone colour, as the blue with red and white flecks are not aesthetic at all.
My circle actually uses the same natural fiber for both harnesses and up lines but they definitely need to be replaced often, and I haven't seen sessions of suspension that lasted an hour... usually it's only a few minutes.
@@McWeenyKen I will ceed to your knowledge. I'm on top of mount stupid right now with only a few books and some basic western tying. I have heard it advised against by a Shay Tizano in "Tying and Flying" as well as a few riggers who do beautiful work which I've seen. I am also curious if it's more of an issue if you do more dynamic "circus" (not sure if that's derogatory, but it's what an amazing person who does it herself calls it) work, where the loads may be much less predictable.
I agree, long sessions with multiple transitions and a very dynamic load will put much more strain on any rope. Our style is more about suffering and less circus-y.
Ah the wait for this video has been sweet, and fun. All of your other videos have made the wait less noticable. I love the unbiased discussion you conduct. Thank you for your input and knowledge!
In these trying times, these videos help me so much. They calm me down & help me focus on something that isn’t that god awful virus. Tack så jätte mycket, Rory ✨
I got my rope RIGHT before this came out darn. I ended up with 50ft of synthetic. I had to go digging through your tictok comments to find the size but I made it out the other end! Thank you for the info I was worried about how to clean it😁
Yes! This is something that I've always wondered about. Obviously you'll need more rope, but any suggestions on that front? Are there certain ties that should be done differently or certain areas of the body that shouldn't be constricted as much?
Plus size bunny here. You can do all the same ties, but will need to join two lengths of rope together. Other than that, there is literally nothing different!
@@eileendemott2338 my go to is Knothead Nylon, but ultimately if you're looking for synthetic ropes that are easy to maintain, agreeableagony.com sells MFP which is similar to nylon in properties
I havent watched the whole video yet so I may leave another comment, but I just wanted to say when I realized you were using a meat tenderizer as a pipe I snort laughed 🤣🤣😍😍
When you made the daisy chain for washing I immediately thought of the basis for every crochet project, your classic chain stitch. Makes one wonder what could be done with rope and maybe a very large hook 🤔
I have seen a very lovely knit fence on the internet. I think rope and a crochet hook could do something very similar. I can’t imaging the hand and wrist strength you’d need, let alone the patience, but it would turn out pretty cool!
So overall, this was a fun introduction. You are an entertaining presenter. If you’re not that informed about suspension, I would suggest leaving that out of your videos so you aren’t giving incorrect information, however. That’s much higher risk than decorative or floor work. Most people do not use bamboo for suspension as it is stretchy and not very strong. Hemp, jute and various synthetics are more common choices since they are stronger, but most people do not use that wide a variety of lengths. Hempex is a nice solution for those who want the strength of synthetics with the feel of natural fiber. Additionally, if people are going to wash their natural fiber ropes as you suggest, they should be tried under tension and re-oiled or waxed after. Folks should also be aware the dye could leak if they wash colored rope like this on a warm cycle. I’d proceed with caution.
How do you do your storage loops like the ones on the wall behind you? What are the things to keep in mind when storing your rope? I had another question I wanted to ask but I got distracted by the beautiful bubblegum pink rope in the background. All the best to you and yours
Don't forget that the earliest Egyptian reed boats were effectively lashed, which led on to rope-sewn wood planking. A different heritage in Eastern Europe led to log canoes developing outriggers which eventually reduced the canoe to the keel, in particular in the Roman grain ships, which were the first to need cables. There are, consequently, several layers of twist, each counter-laid compared to the previous. Cables come from ropes, ropes from twined-thread strands. It's only when you reach the lowest level the strands open as feathers, such as you find in tassels. And that's before you start considering cored cables such as those used in climbing and tightrope. Way past the SSC boundary, though.
I really have been interested in this for a long long time... finding a rigger is like pulling teeth where I am... and finding this information is enlightening and things that I wanted to know! I’m sharing these btw!
I'm curious about your use of ssc as opposed to rack, risk aware consensual kink. A lot of folks I mess around with use that instead, cause different folks have different opinions on what is sane?
I like your style Rory well done, I am now a fan. I prefer Jute I think mostly because of its history. I started with a western mentality of just tie the bitch up and I am quickly evolving to the traditional ways of Shibari. I have always enjoyed knots and rope and have spent a life time learning ne knots and techniques for fishing of which I am very passionate about. The artistic works one can create and the seductive joy of pleasing a bottom into extasy over extended time has become a new addiction for me. I, like you, very much enjoy the feel and the tie of synthetic and its all I use in my marine life stuff and I am going to start using it more in my Shibari life stuff. I have not suspended a live bottom yet and I am an thinking when I do the suspension ropes will be synthetic
Well put as always 😁 As I have said in past I am working on a rope armor project, I was wondering if you could show us shoulder ties? Something similar to pauldrons perhaps? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 💜💜💜
Hey Rory! Would you be able to do a part 2 to this video covering the differences in feel, usage, durability etc on these ropes. I’m also a huge fan of nylon but noticed you didn’t mention their slickness when it comes to tension knots. Awesome content as always!
I personally have only worked with jute before because I was learning suspension and have only ever hand washed my jute rope. I'm confused about the part of your video where you talk about cleaning. The first method with a pillow case, you did not specify the type of rope it would be used for. Then went on to tell us how to care for cotton and nylon ropes. It leads me to believe that you are recommending to throw natural fiber-ed rope like jute into the wash. What type of rope were you intending to go into the wash? also in a textiles perspective cotton is technically a natural fiber. Hi from tiktok
He was using a meat tenderizer as a pipe- sir I’m trying to watch this at 12am and I do not need my parents hearing my cackle. Please and thank you😌 (but oh lord, thank you for your wonderful jokes. It makes learning this stuff ten times easier. I petition to have someone like Rory as my teachers)
There are some information missing that I find very important, one is you can't wash jute ropes, and also you should never use cotton rope for suspension, this is super important, cotton is slightly elastic and the knots will tighten with the weight and it will be impossible to untie
I would love to see Gauntlets made if you could do that. I have seen it done and love the look. I would also like to see it done behind the back and interwoven with each other (if that makes sense..lol) Loving your videos on here and Tic Tok. Thank you for making them.
I remembered my other questions! 1) Are there any adverse effects of keeping the overhand knot in the middle of your ropes permanently? 2) Do you do your own whipping? If so, how? If not, what do you do when you get a rope that is too long to stop your cut sections from fraying?
Your videos have been extremely helpful, saving time and energy looking for useful information for beginners that is better spent learning the ropes 😉. That being said, I hope all you feel is love and a playful prod when I ask to know more about the first historically recorded use of rope 1:52 28,000 years ago? :- P
Why does the cotton have to be washed differently than the jute & similar ropes? Other than removing the cotton from the chain, it still sounds like a gentle or handwash situation please clarify. Also how often should a rope be cleaned when used on the same person?
My fiancé and I are just getting into this stuff, doing basic things to start… the trouble we have is finding rope locally, I can’t seem to find good nylon rope near me. What are your thoughts on polypropylene rope? I bought a thing of it after seeing someone on another site say that it will work, but you seem to have a lot of valuable information.
Can we get a map of where to avoid tieing for nerve safety I usually self tie but my so wants to learn to rig for me and I wanna make sure he knows basic safety well first and I could use some touch ups on it
Brand new to rope, very interested in learning shibari, your videos are great tutorials. For an absolute beginner, what tie would you recommend for getting my proverbial feet wet doing actual rope work?
Im honestly super interested in self shibari to get that safe compression feeling. Idk if I can ever trust someone else to do that to me, but if I can do a chest harness of some sort that I can cover up and it helps me get through the day then im all for it. If you have any ideas for that Id be eternally grateful.
Hey Rory, love your work and your humor keep up the good work! Do you think we could see a tutorial of a Rigger's tie? I have your Rigger's gauntlet in mind that looked super cool! Once again keep up the good work! 😊
Where did you get Marie and how much did she cost? I’m looking for a mannequin to practice on, but I can’t seem to find any with a portional leg to work with like she has.
I would like to try this out. Went to the sports store today and asked for Nylon Rope. The guy asked me which type, because there are so many. What should I be asking for?
4:52 Here in northern Italy the “big master mega super” of rope bondage see nylon as the devil cause is too slippery in their opinion. There’s any truth in that?
No to those shears. Do yourself a favour and test them - you have just one minute to release someone asphyxiating, and when I did that test with normal surgical shears, it cut standard 6mm jute in 90 seconds. It says more for Esinem-san's line than those shears - so I swapped them fox X-Shears, which took 3 seconds.

Fun fact: I work in a factory that makes ropes!
Lol, my house(+the whole terrace) used to be a Georgian rope factory
Your name would make a fantastic stage name if you ever did Shibari events! Your name ROCKS! 👏😁
So... a ropery
Duuuude whhhere can I get these ropes?? Asking for a friend
i bet you where in rope heaven.
I know this video is a year old, but I just wanted to point out to anyone new to this that some people can be allergic to certain materials so you should always test it out on your bunny first and wait to see if there is a reaction before getting too in to tying them up. And if you’re the bunny, and already know you’re allergic to certain materials then you need to let your rigger know before hand. That’s all part of the SSC. 😊

I could listen to you talking about rope all day 😍... Yeah never thought I'd say that!
lol same here... Makes me want to be his Marie though lol
The reasons why hemp and specifically jute are preferred for anything involving full or partial suspension is because the ropes don't stretch under tension, and they have much higher friction when pressed against each other in knots and frictions so that they do not slip or loosen once tied. Synthetics feels nice and looks wonderful for ground work. The right rope for the right purpose!
I have hemp and it does stretch under tension over time. I stopped using it because it always goes loose after about an hour and thins out. I stick to cotton now, and for suspension I use that thick flecked blue rope you get in DIY stores (forget what it's called but it's heavy duty), which does not stretch at all on my ratchet winch. I just wish they made it in a monotone colour, as the blue with red and white flecks are not aesthetic at all.
Although Important note; it’s not very strong so it’s seldom used for up lines
My circle actually uses the same natural fiber for both harnesses and up lines but they definitely need to be replaced often, and I haven't seen sessions of suspension that lasted an hour... usually it's only a few minutes.

It’s great to see how much more comfortable you’ve become on RUclips in such a short period of time
Your upload notifications always put a smile on my face ^^
I love your video. Ps you look good in purple. Can you make a video on knots. Like what the best knot would work the best or commonly used knots?
I love that there's similarities to crochet... My mind wraps around that so easily. Can't wait for your next video
Literally so exited to binge all these, but I have an analysis for my literary studies so I’ll be back in three hours lmao.

I'm definitely going to be ordering some rope to start playing with.
Got a question for ya, I’m a bigger girl got any tips for rope ties? Maybe for some plus size bunnies?
Yes! This is something that I've always wondered about. Obviously you'll need more rope, but any suggestions on that front? Are there certain ties that should be done differently or certain areas of the body that shouldn't be constricted as much?
Plus size bunny here. You can do all the same ties, but will need to join two lengths of rope together. Other than that, there is literally nothing different!
I recommend getting your rope from Agreeable Agony, they have really good quality and inexpensive rope with custom lengths :)
I'm a rope bunny at 340 lbs
Amy Perkins thanks so much
I love when you upload, it makes me really excited to try new things.
This guy and this video are amazing, wtf, this should be in every kinkester home screen
This is exactly what I needed thank you so much for your time and getting down to the nitty gritty it is much appreciated!🦋🖤
This is the video that im looking for a long time thanks dude !!!!!
Nylon is may favorite. I normally get 50 ft because I’m a big girl and hate adding rope to another lol
Where is a good place to get reliable nylon?

The edited is so good during your explanations. I almost didn’t notice it.
Yay! I loved this video! Rory you are awesome man! Yay Rope!!
Yesterday I was thinking about rope! I'm so happy!!!
I havent watched the whole video yet so I may leave another comment, but I just wanted to say when I realized you were using a meat tenderizer as a pipe I snort laughed 🤣🤣😍😍
thank you. very informative. and your videos are very educational. great job, my good man
Good sir, I needed your chanel. Thank goodness you exist!
I am happy to exist 😆
Why is my Hogwarts professor teaching about shibari😂.
Sorry, all I can think of is your HP tiktoks

Love you content!! The idea of ropes are so fascinating to me. Didn’t know that till I saw your videos. 🤣🤣
I love that shirt lol. Very cool 🤘
Also, this is the information I’ve been looking for. I’m a beginner, and like this kind of in depth information.
This video was exactly what I needed
I cant wait to start exploring with Nylon ropes. Other than Knothead, where else would you suggest buying ropes from? Looking around to compare :)
It depends on the kind of rope but your local hardware store should sell most types
Awesome! Thank you for making this video for complete lvl 1 adventurers like myself!
I've been watching you on tik tok for ages i'm happy i've finally started watching your youtube it's great!
Rory!!
May I just say, I absolutely adore you?
I hope my husband takes notes. 😏

I have just watched your video and honestly, it made me wanna learn to be a good and safe rigger in both shibari and suspension
Go to shibaristudy.com or find your local rope community in your town for some in person instructions
loving this channel so much already
This was a great history of rope!

Good information..
thanks for the info!
sir im laughing so hard im coughing. your smoking a meat tenderiser? I cant even, your awesome.
Hey Rory, im loving the videos. Could you make a follow-up on how to coil the ropes?
Hey Rory! Would you be able to do a part 2 to this video covering the differences in feel, usage, durability etc on these ropes. I’m also a huge fan of nylon but noticed you didn’t mention their slickness when it comes to tension knots. Awesome content as always!
Because he doesn't know what he's talking about 🤦
Thank you Rory!! how do you make the bundles so pretty?!
I personally have only worked with jute before because I was learning suspension and have only ever hand washed my jute rope.

🔥🔥🔥 thank youu
Why does the cotton have to be washed differently than the jute & similar ropes? Other than removing the cotton from the chain, it still sounds like a gentle or handwash situation please clarify.

Do I put cotton rope in the washer, air dry, undo daisy chain, then hand wash and dry or do I hand dry it and then hang it up to dry?
