Sascha:In Japan, the country of origin of Shibari, jute ropes are the classic ropes for sensual bondage. With good reason: They are light, resilient - and appropriately tied up - supple, easy to walk on and cuddly. It makes knots compact and the golden brown color of the rope looks beautiful on the body and in photos. Compared to hemp ropes, they are significantly less odorous. New ropes are a little stiffer and fluffy at first, but this quickly disappears after the first few ties. So that your rope lasts longer and remains supple, it is recommended to care for it with jojoba oil* from time to time. However, do not apply too much of it, otherwise the ropes can become "soapy" with body heat.
*Strictly speaking, jojoba oil is not an oil at all, but a vegetable wax. However, since its melting point is 7° C and it is the only liquid wax that occurs in nature, the term "oil" has become established. The advantage is that it has a long shelf life and does not go rancid as quickly as other oils. Due to its antioxidant properties, it not only delays the aging of your skin, but also that of your rope. In addition to nurturing properties, jojoba oil is also said to have a healing effect. The oil consists of up to: 70% gadoleic acid, 15% erucic acid, 10% oleic acid, 2% nervous acid, 1% palmitic acid. Jojoba oil also contains vitamins B and E, provitamin A, minerals and simmondsin. The jojoba oil we use is cold-pressed and organically produced.
This makes it environmentally friendly AND good for your skin and your ropes.
