Foil bondage

Foil bondage is a form of restrictive bondage in which a person (usually the sub) is wrapped in plastic cling foil or industrial wrapping foil. By tightly wrapping the body in multiple layers of foil, a feeling of complete immobility, restriction, and surrender is created. This technique - also known as wrap bondage or mummification - is used within BDSM to induce physical control, mental calm, or sensual tension, always under supervision and with attention to safety and breathing space.
