A bondage harness is a piece of BDSM equipment worn for the purpose of bondage. A Harness usually consists of a series of leather straps, usually between 1 and 2 cm wide, fastened together in such a way as to allow a person to "wear" the item. The item is very closely related to BDSM play and is often immediately recognizable as KINK related. For this reason, it is sometimes worn in public as a way to point out fetish culture and attract attention. The item can be worn as is on the body, simply as a dress form, but can also be used as a hold-up. The arms can easily be held behind the back by running the horizontal straps over the arms rather than under them against the body. When securely fastened, the arms are attached to the body by these bands. In addition, the belt can be used as an anchor for additional restraints.
