CalExotics Scandal - Shibari rope 30 m, cotton and polyester
CalExotics Scandal - Shibari rope 30 m, cotton and polyester
Only 1 left in stock
Thirty metres in a single length, in 60% cotton and 40% polyester: enough for several chest harnesses or a dozen wrist ties without ever cutting. The manufacturer states the rope as shibari-compatible, which its softness and fineness make credible. The CalExotics Scandal Shibari Rope, 30 m is the only one of the two references whose length is confirmed.
Why choose this model?
- 30 confirmed metres: the figure agrees across the manufacturer's name, description and specifications.
- Mostly cotton: the cotton gives the softness, the polyester holds the knot in place.
- Shibari-compatible: stated by the manufacturer for floor work, with no mention of suspension.
- A single length: the rope can be cut to size, but nothing obliges it at the outset.
- 446 grams: light enough to carry without thinking about it, unlike a coil of hemp rope.
How to use it
- Keep curved-blade safety shears immediately to hand, before the first wrap. Ordinary scissors will not do.
- Never run a tight wrap around the neck, whatever figure is being attempted.
- Rule out slip knots on a limb: a wrap that tightens on its own no longer loosens.
- Check circulation every few minutes: colour, temperature and movement of fingers and toes.
- Untie immediately at the first tingling, pallor, cold sensation or loss of feeling.
The long-length rope offers the same material over a greater length, one the manufacturer does not clearly establish. The spreader bar achieves comparable holding with no knots at all. See also starting BDSM safely and our materials guide.
Care and precautions
The cotton and polyester blend absorbs moisture and tightens under tension: a wrap that felt comfortable can turn tight after a few minutes of load. Hand wash in warm water, dry completely flat, and inspect the whole length before every use. This rope is not built to carry suspended weight: no load is published, and suspension belongs to a practice that requires training. Never leave a tied person alone, even for a moment.
Frequently asked questions
What is its exact length?
30 metres, a figure the manufacturer confirms in both the name and the specifications.
What is it made of?
60% cotton and 40% polyester, according to the manufacturer.
Is it suitable for suspension?
No. No load is published and suspension calls for specific training.
Should it be cut?
Not necessarily. Many prefer seven or eight metre lengths, which handle more easily.
How is it cleaned?
By hand, in warm water, dried completely flat before storage.
SoPigalle tip: buy the safety shears before the rope, not after. A curved, round-tipped blade slides under a tight wrap without touching skin, where sewing scissors force you to lift the rope first — exactly what becomes impossible when speed matters.
