Straitjackets and bondage bags

The straitjacket is a tool more than 200 years old, originally invented for the purposes of imprisonment and psychiatry. The first mention comes from the year 1790, from the Parisian hospital Bicêtre Hospital. Originally, it was a military hospital and over time it was used as a prison, orphanage, or psychiatric hospital. It is worth mentioning that around the year 1800, Marquis de Sade was imprisoned here.

As a restraining and punitive tool, it later found admirers among the followers of BDSM, where it is still used with enthusiasm today. The original material was coarse fabric, which is not "sexy" enough for most fetishists, hence more captivating materials such as leather or rubber came into play.
