Collection: Collars and leashes

How do I choose the right collar for my role in a power-exchange dynamic?

The right collar depends on the context, your relationship dynamic, and the physical experience you want. Consider the following:

• Day collars: Discreet, jewellery-style pieces worn outside the scene to signify an ongoing D/s relationship without drawing attention.
• Play collars: Worn specifically during scenes, these tend to be bolder, more structured, and often include attachment points for a leash.
• Locking collars: Feature a padlock or fixed closure as a powerful symbol of ownership and surrender, ideal for established partners with a high level of trust.

Always discuss the symbolic meaning of a collar with your partner before use. In many D/s communities, collaring carries significant emotional weight, so a clear, enthusiastic conversation beforehand is essential.

What materials are used in collars and leashes, and are they body-safe?

Collars and leashes in our range are commonly made from leather, vegan leather, nylon webbing, stainless steel, and faux fur. For anything worn directly against the skin, look for smooth, finished edges with no sharp hardware and check that metal components are nickel-free if you have sensitivities. Genuine leather softens with wear and moulds comfortably to the neck over time. Synthetic and nylon options are often easier to wipe clean and are a great choice for those with animal-product preferences. Always inspect hardware such as D-rings and clasps before each use to ensure nothing is loose or sharp.

How do I measure for a safe and comfortable fit?

A collar should fit snugly but never restrict breathing or blood flow. Measure the circumference of the neck at its widest point and add at least two finger-widths of room. During a scene, check in regularly and run two fingers under the collar to confirm comfort. Leashes should be long enough to allow natural movement and should never be used to apply sudden sharp force to the neck. The submissive partner should always be able to signal discomfort immediately, so agree on a safeword or a non-verbal signal such as dropping a held object before the scene begins.

How should I clean and care for my collar and leash?

Proper care extends the life of your gear and keeps it hygienic:

• Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use and condition periodically with a leather-safe conditioner. Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight.
• Vegan leather and nylon: Wipe down with a mild soap solution and allow to air dry fully before storing.
• Metal hardware: Dry thoroughly to prevent rust or tarnishing. Inspect clasps and D-rings for wear regularly.

Store collars flat or loosely coiled in a clean, dry place away from extreme heat to maintain their shape and integrity.

What does aftercare look like when collars and leashes are part of a scene?

Aftercare is a vital part of any power-exchange experience. When a collar is removed at the end of a scene, the transition out of role can bring a range of emotions for both the dominant and submissive partner. Take time to check in verbally, offer physical comfort such as a warm blanket or a gentle touch if welcome, and stay together until both partners feel grounded. Some people find a specific aftercare ritual around the removal of the collar meaningful and reassuring. Discuss aftercare preferences before the scene so both partners know what support to offer and receive when the play concludes.
