Latex straitjackets, also known as latex straightjackets, are latex garments designed to restrict arm movement. Latex straitjackets are a fetish garment that has evolved from medical straitjackets used to restrain disturbed patients. The latex straitjacket is usually employed in bondage sex games, or BDSM sessions run by dominant such as a mistress. Latex rubber is an ideal material for physical restraint. The elastic nature of latex enables is to be pulled very tightly around the wearer. Latex straitjackets combine the tension of tight latex with the restraint facility of traditional straitjacket design. The result is a latex clothing item that erotically restrains the wearer. Latex straitjackets are available in a wide range of colours, including semi-clear or translucent latex. This use of this almost transparent material can increase the tie and tease aspect of latex straitjacket sex games as the breasts and genitalia of the restrained person are visible.
Traditional straitjackets tend to follow very similar design ideas. They are often pull-on garments, although back fastening is quite common. The sleeves are overly long and end in mittens. The mitten ends prevent the wearer using fingers to unfasten the straight jacket. The arms are usually folded below the chest and straps on the mittened sleeves are used to secure the arms at the back of the garment. A secondary strap is often used to bind the arms together at the front. Most straitjackets also have one or two crotch straps. These prevent the wearer from simply wriggling free.
Many latex straitjackets are simple copies of traditional straitjacket design. However, there are also a great many variations on the theme. The simplest difference between latex straitjackets and conventional straitjackets is the inclusion of breast holes or breast zips. These allow easy access to breasts, either for breast play or breast bondage. Where breast holes are used, the latex straitjacket is tailored to ensure a tight fit over the chest; this allows the garment to be tight against the chest wall and allows the breasts to project fully. Whereas a breast zip latex straitjacket design would usually have a less close fit over the chest.
An important innovation of the latex straitjacket is the internal arm binder. The wearer's arms are located inside the latex straitjacket, either to the front under the breasts, or at the back. The forearms are usually bound together with a zipped latex arm binder. This arm binder prevents the arms from being pushed down under the hem of the latex straitjacket. The internal arm latex straitjacket can be a pull-on design, or a fastening design. As a general rule, zip fastenings are on the opposite face to the arms, as this reduces the distortion to the zipper track. Rear internal arm binder latex straitjackets lend themselves to tit hole chest designs, while front internal arm binder latex straitjacket designs tend to use tit zips.
