CalExotics Scandal - Hog tie, four detachable cuffs

Four padded cuffs converge on a central O-ring connector: that single point is what defines a hog tie, where other systems spread their attachments. The cuffs detach to be used separately, or combine with the other Scandal pieces in the range. The CalExotics Scandal Hog Tie states 30.5 centimetres of total length, in red and black brocade polyester.

Why choose this model?

• Central connector: all four limbs meet at one point, which is precisely the effect sought here.
• Detachable cuffs: they also work on their own, which lets you approach the position in stages.
• Compatible with the Scandal range: the universal clasps accept other pieces, a modularity rare on this kind of accessory.
• Swivel rings: changing position needs no detaching and reattaching.
• Velcro closures: release is immediate, with no buckle to find from a constrained position.

How to use it

1. Agree on a stop signal and check in a dry run that a cuff releases one-handed.
2. Start with two limbs before four: the full position is far more restrictive than it looks.
3. Set each Velcro to two fingers' clearance, at wrists and ankles alike.
4. Watch the breathing: face down with limbs joined, the ribcage compresses against the floor.
5. Keep it short and release at the first numbness, starting with the arms.

The restraint collar works the torso rather than all four limbs and offers three levels of restriction. The door cross does the opposite, spreading the limbs upright. See also starting BDSM safely and our materials guide.

Care and precautions

Brocade wipes with a barely damp cloth, with no immersion and no brushing, and dries flat. Clear the lint that lodges in the Velcro, or it will hold less and less well. The hog tie position deserves particular care: bringing all four limbs together behind the back limits ribcage movement, especially face down. Never leave anyone in this position without continuous presence, cut it short if breathing shortens, and keep something to cut with immediately to hand.

Frequently asked questions

Can the cuffs be used separately?

Yes, they detach from the central connector and work alone or with other Scandal pieces.

How long is it?

30.5 centimetres in total according to the manufacturer, without the measurement basis being specified.

Is it suitable for beginners?

The cuffs alone, yes. The full position calls for experience and close supervision.

What is it made of?

Polyester, in red and black brocade with a padded lining.

How is it cleaned?

With a barely damp cloth, no immersion, then dried flat.

SoPigalle tip: settle the person on their side rather than face down. The position is just as restrictive, it frees the ribcage, and that is the only difference that really matters across a session that lasts.
