How to use the Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual?

1. Start by skimming the fundamentals, including safety guidelines, rope care, and anatomy dos and don’ts.
2. Choose a comfortable practice space like a firm bed or soft yoga mat to ensure safety during tying experiments.
3. Gather materials: use natural fiber ropes (like jute or hemp) around 6–8 meters long for most ties recommended in the book.
4. Try a basic tie first to learn control and tension practice. Most jumps into decorative ties like Karada (rope corset) require back-to-front threading, so a mirror helps.
5. Progress to suspension ties only after mastering ground techniques and safety checks—always having backup support nearby if attempting suspension practices.

Great positions to try:

• Seated cross-legged on the floor: Ideal for beginner ties, like harnesses or chest wraps.
• Standing with back to a wall: Helps stabilize the body for vertical ties like the Karada.
• On all fours or kneeling: Great for creative ground bondage while maintaining comfort and control.

How to clean and care for the Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual?

• Cleaning: Keep hands clean when using the manual to avoid transferring oils or lotions to the pages. Spot-clean gently with a dry cloth if needed.
• Environment: Store in a cool, dry place to preserve page quality—paper can warp or curl in humid locations.
• Safe pairing: Use only properly whipped and conditioned rope when replicating ties to avoid fraying or unraveling damage.
• Storage: Keep it flat between play sessions—ideal to tuck in a nightstand drawer, toy trunk, or rope bag.

Special considerations when using Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual:

• Physical setup: Ensure a safe space to tie—no sharp corners, clutter, or hard surfaces where someone could fall.
• Rope health: Keep ropes clean and dry. Wash rope separately if dyed to prevent color bleed—you want your ties hot, not your cleanup.
• Nerve safety: Avoid tying tightly over joints or nerve zones (back of knees, wrists) to prevent tingling or numbness.
• Supervision during suspension: Beginners should not attempt advanced positions, especially suspension, without expert guidance.
