Common Q&A

Do I need to bring my own rope?

The house will provide jutes for everyone to use. However, it is strongly advised to bring your own ropes.

Do I need a tying partner?

Yes. You will need a tying partner to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel

warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?

You may attach an upline to the harness to "stress-test" the harness if that's within your practice. The majority of the bottom's weight must be grounded.
