Mr. S Leather - High quality leather, rubber, and neoprene bondage and fetish gear. Located right here in San Francisco on 8th St, a block down from Folsom St on 8th near the intersection with Harrison St. They have a huge selection of puppy play gear (both neoprene and leather dog hoods) as well as an incredible selection of general bondage gear including: bondage beds, sleep sacks, cuffs, gags, etc. The staff is very welcoming, and it's a great place to hang out and browse.

Indeed, Mr. S Leather also periodically has block parties and storewide, or nearly storewide, sales. Their current selection of products is refreshed a couple times a year with improvements and refinements to their designs. Mr. S Leather's items have a polished, well-finished look and feel to them with an aesthetic consistency across their product portfolio: their gear has a particular appearance and generally looks like it's meant to last (I have a pair of padded leather fist mitts from the very early 2000s that still work perfectly and, while they do show signs of use, certainly do not look anywhere near their true age of over two decades).

If you're in San Francisco visiting, I'd recommend dropping by Mr. S Leather if only for a brief browse.

Leather Etc - Another SoMa district leather and kink store, Leather Etc is just a block up from Mr. S Leather, on Folsom St. While Mr. S Leather caters primarily towards males, Leather Etc has something for everyone and has a bit more of an eclectic selection. Leather Etc also has a greater variety of colors as well as styles and types of gear. Their website does not do their store justice - they have a significantly greater selection of gear and toys at their brick and mortar location than online. If you're a local or visiting the area, I recommend stopping by and checking them out.

I get the feeling that Leather Etc is willing to take risks on novel product ideas, which is something I admire about them. I enjoy shopping at Leather Etc because there is almost always something new on display every time I stop by, and the staff is welcoming. Furthermore, they have no problem with custom colors (e.g. if you happen to see a cuff or collar style you like but not in your colors, it's no problem, they'll make it for you, and the turn around time is rather quick).

Pleasure Paradox - Ball gags! Pleaasure Paradox has a wider selection of BDSM gear than just ball gags, but if I had to sum them up in 2 words, unquestioningly they would be: ball gags. They produce amazing (medical grade) silicone ball gags in pretty much every size (17 sizes from 1.0" diameter to a jawbreaking 3" diameter) and color (14 colors) you can imagine with leather straps in matching colors (available in locking or standard as well as buckle hardware in brass, silver, or a color matching the ball gag itself).

If you're a fan of gags, like me, you have to check them out. In addition to hundreds of combinations of standard ball gags (between ball size, color, leather strap color, hardware color, lockability, etc.), they sell a few unique ball gag combinations (bit through the ball, double ball for more than one bottom, etc). They even have a cool pamphlet (comes with your order, but it's also available as a pdf on their website) that doubles as a cheat sheet for sizing your partner or yourself with the appropriately (un)comfortably sized ball gag. I love Pleasure Paradox! They have Etsy store, but due to rule changes regarding adult items, they do not have their full catalog available via their Etsy store - to see - and order - Pleasure Paradox's full catalog of items, go to their website (also linked to at the start of the previous paragraph via the large, main link).

Bon BDSM - Lots of cool bondage gear including leather cuffs for wrist, ankle, and thigh, collars, fist mitts, puppy paw fist mitts, face masks (e.g. pig mask), various gags, and more in a huge array of colors and color combinations for reasonable prices. Bon BDSM also sell puppy, piggy, and other tails (both butt plug and clip on) for animal roleplay. I highly recommend them: the gear is good quality (not super high quality and durability as some of the very high end shops, but definitely good quality) and the prices are not insane. Shipping does take a little bit if you are in the U.S. since they located in southeast Asia. They also have an Etsy shop where they have periodic sales on their products.

Agreeable Agony - Purveyors of high quality bondage and shibari rope in a multitude of colors. Their rope is synthetic and waterproof, and marketed as resistant to most non-polar compounds and lubricants, and from personal experience, I can say the latter seems to be true :) Furthermore, the rope is constructed with colored fibers versus braided and then dyed, so the colors look clean and continuous. Finally, the rope is very low maintenance: you can throw it in the washing machine and be done with cleanup without worrying about the colors fading.

We discovered Agreeable Agony's rope earlier this year at a local adult shop and were impressed with their selection of colors and the feel of the rope. In chatting with the staff of the store (Good Vibrations in San Francisco, at the corner of Mission and 5th streets, which has a pleasantly large and diverse selection of items for a general adult store in a touristy area - it turns out they also have a second location in San Francisco that has museum of sex toys, which I really want to check out soon) we discovered they are small business on the east coast that is known for quality, so I wanted to give them a shout out for making such a beautiful and fun product (we really love colorful bondage rope)!

Erotica Boutique Bizarre - A sex and BDSM shop in Hamburg, Germany on Reeperbahn in the St. Pauli district. Their website does not do justice to the immensely diverse selection of fetish, bondage, and kink gear they have on site. The first floor, at street level, has many conventional erotic toys, videos, and begining bondage gear and sexy outfits. However, the fun is only beginning: descending the staircase to the lower floor, a short hallway soon opens up to one of the best stocked kink stores I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I recognized gear from several different makers I love and admire, including a hood from Fury Fantasy, pony hoof boots from Punitive Shoes, mouthfilling gags from Silencilicone (also on this list),

If you are in Hamburg, I would highly recommend stopping by if only to see the variety of items they have for sale, spread across two largwe floors!

Fleet Ilya - Harnesses, cuffs, collars, masks, and more. Most of their stuff is beautiful and of the highest quality (albeit quite expensive). There are a couple things that are not quite to my taste, but are still well made.

Rupert Huse & Son, Inc - Superb quality BDSM gear and some unique products like their pear gag, which is, aside from some minor differences in the material from which it's made, to my knowledge, the most accurate historical replica of the medieval torture device of the same name. The pear gag by Huse is made constructed from "solid lead free bronze with a steel square thread screw". Also, according to the product description page, "Because of the nature of the Pear Gag and the strong leverage it is capable of exerting we must emphasize that this is sold as an art piece/historical recreation".

Medical Toys - Not just medical toys, but other BDSM gear as well. They have a little bit of everything, and though I am uncertain of the quality, the prices were not too bad last time I checked.

Winter Fetish - Their products are high quality and include armbinders, catsuits, hoods, sleepsacks, and straightjackets. Their zippered leather armbinder is one of the best I've ever seen - or tried :)

Eufory (formerly BDSM-Laden) - They have some cool looking bondage gear and e-stim gear as well. The site is in German.

SM-factory - They have a nice bit gag/ball gag combo (a ball gag on a rubber coated metal bit) that holds the ball more securely in the mouth. A great option for gagging ponies!

Regulation - They have a boutique in SoHo in addition to their online shop. I have not been to their brick and mortar location, but I do plan to stop by on my next visit. I get the impression they are similar to Mr. S Leather in San Francisco, and I can draw parallels not just in the appearance and quality of their gear, but also in the way they portray themselves - this is a good thing :). They do sell a bit gag with tongue port pre-attached, which, while a touch overpriced ($50 USD) for a simple bit gag with $2 tongue port, this will introduce more people to ponyplay and unique gags.

Indeed, speaking of the latter, I'm really happy to see tongue ports and other tongue bits catching on both in the pony play world as well as the general BDSM realm. I wrote the article on tongue ports back in 2011 and the one on tongue bits in 2013, and I've posted a few videos (e.g. drooling with a bit port and playing with a spoon bit) and blog entries (e.g, on drool, gagging ponies to prevent intelligible speech, and how to attach a tongue port).

Old Links (for reference & historical purposes)

Erotik Elektro - They had a good selection of electrostimulation products (one of my favorites). They moved their online shop to an Amazon shop early in the 2^nd quarter of 2014 though they still sold most of their product line through their Amazon store which they maintained through late 2018. By January 2019, they had unfortunately closed their Amazon store with the intention of stopping production, however, they still had some excess inventory on hand they were willing to sell if you reached out to them via email, but by the end of June 2019, the inventory had been exhausted and/or they no longer wished to continue selling and their store was officially closed. If you are interested, you can see the cool e-stim products they used to sell courtesy of the Internet Archive.

S Art - They used to sell quite a few cool items directly to consumers via their online shop, including a metal pear gag (link goes to the Internet Archive snapshot of the page when they did sell it online) and a ball gag with bristles (also Internet Archive saved version of the page). However, the underwent some restructuring between 4-5 years ago, and although they still appear to be active in designing and making unique, quality, BDSM gear, they no longer sell directly through their website. The do seem to have a physical storefront, which I have not as yet had the pleasure of visiting, and they do also appear to sell wholesale to distributors. Thus, you might be able to grab some of their cool gear if you are in their area (visit to the shop are by appointment only), or you find one of their distributors.

Why Include General BDSM Links?

For example, it took me quite awhile to find a reputable, reliable place to buy ball gags that were designed by and for kinky: most ball gags you'll find at most adult stores (or Amazon) are comically small (and sometimes even made of a material twhose safety you are unsure about): I have a big mouth and an equally big gag fetish, so these 1 1/2 inch diameter ball gags and 2 inch long penis gags just don't do it for me, like at all.

Even a 2 inch ball gag is rather lacking for my needs. So, when I discovered Pleasure Paradox (on the list below), my cock cried with relief: they actually made ball gags in decent sizes (up to 3 inches) in cool colors, so I ordered some 2 1/2 inch diameter ball gags to satiate my fetish and allow my partner to finally shut me up properly.

Point being, I think there is utility in sharing links to bondage and BDSM stores even if they aren't pony play specific - if I can save someone time in finding some piece of fetish gear they've been looking for, then compiling this list will have been more than worth it.

Given there are way more places to buy bondage and BDSM gear than there are pony play retailers, this list of general BDSM equipment retailers cannot be (nor is it meant to be) all-inclusive. This is in contrast to my ponyplay links page, where I do make a concerted effort to include every retailer, store, artisan, maker, and crafter I can find that sells pony play tack and equipment (with the exception of random Amazon or Etsy stores selling a bit gag, which, to me, does not qualify it as a ponyplay retailer)
