Mannequins for Your Shibari Rope Tying Needs
While a mannequin cannot mimic all the poses of a human (even the bendable ones) it is the next best thing to a live model.
A mannequin is a practice partner that never complains - no matter how long it takes for you to perfect that bondage tie.
A mannequin is available for you any time of the day... or night
You can work on mannequin for awhile and then leave it tied up for days until you are ready to return.
What Mannequin is Best for Shibari?
Some rope riggers prefer a full body mannequin, some like a torso, some like ones with bendable bodies, some prefer fiberglass bodies.
If you aren’t sure what style mannequin is best for your shibari needs, check out the blog posts at the bottom of this page. Each post has helpful tips.
Also we have a shibari youtube playlist with different shibari instructors giving their suggestions or demonstrating their rope tying skills on various styles of mannequins.
This youtube video has a side by side comparsion of two of the most popular styles of dress forms with bendable arms.
