CalExotics Scandal - Over-the-door cross, wrists and ankles
Only 3 left in stock
This system immobilises standing against a door, wrists and ankles spread in a cross. It does not suspend: unlike the door swing in the range, it carries no weight. The hooks sit on any door, the cuffs close with adjustable Velcro, and universal clasps allow position changes without dismantling. The CalExotics Scandal Over-the-Door Cross states 36.75 centimetres of total length, in polyester.
Why choose this model?
- Upright restraint: the vertical position changes everything compared with restraint on a bed or on the floor.
- Carries no weight: the feet stay on the ground, which removes the risks specific to suspension.
- Velcro closures: fitting and removal happen one-handed, with no buckle to find behind the back.
- Universal clasps: repositioning is immediate, without unhooking the whole thing from the door.
- Wrists and ankles: all four limbs are covered by the same set, with nothing further to buy.
How to use it
- Set the hooks on a solid door, then close it and lock it from the far side.
- Check in a dry run that a cuff releases one-handed, from the standing position.
- Set each Velcro to two fingers' clearance, without tightening to improve the hold.
- Leave slack at the shoulders: arms spread in a cross tire far faster than people expect.
- Keep standing time short and release at the first numbness or tingling in the hands.
The door swing uses the same fixing but suspends the body, which is an entirely different matter in terms of risk. The hog tie works on the floor, with limbs brought together rather than spread. See also starting BDSM safely and choosing an accessory for two.
Care and precautions
Polyester wipes with a damp sponge and dries flat; clear the lint that gathers in the Velcro, or it holds less and less. Check hooks and stitching before every session. Standing at length with arms spread brings fatigue and tingling well before any pain: cut it short rather than waiting for a complaint. Never leave a restrained person without continuous presence and keep something to cut with within reach.
Frequently asked questions
Does it suspend the body?
No. The feet stay on the ground. The door swing is the one that suspends.
Which doors suit it?
The manufacturer states it fits any door. Favour a solid, closed one.
How do the cuffs close?
With adjustable Velcro, plus universal clasps for repositioning without undoing everything.
Is it suitable for beginners?
The manufacturer states it suits beginners and regulars alike. The standing position stays demanding.
How long is it?
36.75 centimetres in total according to the manufacturer, without the measurement basis being specified.
SoPigalle tip: place a low stool behind the person before starting. With arms spread, fatigue arrives within minutes, and being able to sit without dismantling anything extends the session instead of ending it.
