Bondage baghood

The simplest possible bondage hood – a bag, usually with rectangular shape, slightly larger than the size of the head. The hood simply is pulled on the head and fastened around the neck with a leather strap or rope. In BDSM practice the baghood traditionally is made of leather, less often of other materials such as tarpaulin, cotton fabric and others. It often combines bondage and sensory deprivation effects with breath control and sweating (from exhaled air).

Regardless of the material from which it is made, even the simplest bondage baghood usually has breathing holes to allow outside air to enter the inside of the bag to avoid suffocation. Breathing vents are usually represented by a perforation or set of perforations, the location of which can vary between models and manufacturers.

The use of Bondage baghood during BDSM play and putting it on the head of the submissive partner usually causes a strong psychological reaction of confusion, fear and helplessness, which is one of the reasons why it is often used as a bondage gear for hard role-playing games such as interogation play and torments.

In all cases, Bondage baghood should be used with caution due to the risk of choking (from the strap that fastens the hood around the neck) or suffocation (from insufficient fresh air entering the inside of the hood).
