If being a BDSM top is your thing, you might have already
obtained your first flogger, cane, whip or similar instrument. However, as your
new hobby develops and grows, you might quickly find yourself having a sizeable
collection of tools, and this begs the question…where are you going to put
them?
Obviously, there’s no shortage of bags, suitcases and other
storage solutions on the market. But finding one that’s really optimal for this
sort of thing isn’t that easy. Ultimately, any bag will do the job, but if you
just use some random gym bag or kit bag, it might make it difficult to pull out
the tools when going into a scene, or make it difficult to re-organize it afterwards.
The good news is that there are several solutions on the market that could be
ideal for this sort of thing, and the better news is that these don’t have to
cost a fortune!
My ideal storage solution for my tools is an aluminum case,
because they are fairly light, affordable, and protect the content very well.
There are plenty of such cases available, both online and in stores, and they
come in many sizes and styles. One
case I really liked was at Harbor Freight tools, and I liked it as it’s
quite large and not very expensive (30$ if you use one of their 25% off
coupons), and also offers a built-in combination lock, which would be helpful
if you have kids running around where the bag is. Another solution I really
liked is this
set from Amazon. This is actually a BBQ set of tools, that come in an
aluminum case and costs $30. The idea is to dump the original grilling tools
(or just put them somewhere else) and use the loops that are installed in the
case to store your BDSM tools. The case is 17.7” by 9.4” by 3”, which
accommodates a sizeable selection of tools, and is very easy to carry. It is
also fairly impressive-looking.
If you are a fan of floggers, dragon-tails, whips and other
tools that are much longer than 18”, you might consider getting a
Microphone-stand case. For example, this
one is 32” long, which is suitable for holding most long tools without
folding. It’s 5”x5” in width and height, so you will be able to fit 3-5 items
in there easily. Need more space? This
item offers several sizes up to 58x10x5, all for less than $30. One thing
to note about this type of bag is that they are usually soft, so if you are
storing mostly soft items like floggers, you should cut a piece of plywood and
put it in the case to give it a ‘spine’ and make it easier to carry.
If you’d rather not spend so much, then Goodwill and other
thrift stores come to mine. Most of the items you would find there aren’t in
very good condition, and it’s unlikely that you’ll find exactly what you want
there. However, what’s very easy to find at thrift stores are golf bags, and
those are often very suitable for BDSM equipment (the challenge might be
cleaning out the bag properly). You can also find plenty of aluminum cases, and
even if you find one that doesn’t have any built-in loops for storing tools (or
if they don’t fit well), you could easily add them by purchasing Velcro cable
ties such
as these, and just glue them to the case’s surface. Put some contact-glue
in the middle of the Velcro tie, and once that’s hardened, you can use it to
fasten anything to-place.
If all the above aren’t just quite right, and you have a
good budget, I would also suggest visiting sports equipment stores, and music
stores. Both sell many types of equipment that requires storage (such as
Baseball bats and large musical instruments) and will thus offer a selection of
storage bags and cases. The prices might be exorbitant, but you’ll probably not
find anything quite as high-quality and stylish otherwise!
See you at the store!
