For newcomers to the world of Shibari, we have put together a small package that contains everything you need to get started: three first-class jute ropes and one optional Safety knife for your safety kit, which experts always have with them.
the Ropes are triple twisted and pointing good stability while at the same time being easy to walk on. Treated gently with beeswax, polished, flamed and refined with organic, cold-pressed jojoba oil*.

The rope is ready to tie and can be used for tying right out of the box.
Sascha: In Japan, the country of origin of Shibari, jute ropes are the classic ropes for sensual bondage. With good reason: you are light, resilient - and accordingly tied up - supple, ready to run and cuddly. Knots become with it compact and the golden brown color of the rope looks just 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. Since its melting point is 7°C making it the only liquid wax found in nature the term "oil" established itself. 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 the skin, but also that of yours rope. In addition to nurturing properties, jojoba oil is also said to have a healing effect.
The oil consists of up to:
- 70% from gadoleic acid
- 15% from erucic acid
- 10% from oleic acid
- 2% from nervous acid
- 1% from 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.
