SPREADER BARS & YOKES

Spreaders and yokes are extremely useful for pushing your bondage scene to a higher level of intensity. With a solid bar of metal between their legs or cuffed to their arms, the submissive is forced into exactly the right position to have their most tender bits stimulated, played with, or punished, depending on the mood of the dominant.

Yokes take your standard spreader bar a step further: The bar connects to a collar in front, back, or on the sides, so that the sub's hands and posture are equally restricted. Even a brief look should inspire some ideas for prison or office bondage scenarios.

WHAT ARE SPREADER BARS & YOKES?

Spreader bars are rigid restraint tools designed to hold limbs apart—most commonly the legs or arms—enforcing openness and limiting movement. Bondage yokes extend this concept by connecting a spreader bar to a collar, restricting posture, balance, and upper-body movement at the same time.

Together, they transform basic restraint into full-body control, making positioning itself an active part of the scene.

WHAT KIND OF SPREADER OR YOKE SHOULD I GET?

The right choice depends on how you want to control the body. Some designs focus on leg separation and exposure, others restrict arm movement or enforce posture through the collar. Adjustable options allow for gradual escalation, while fixed-length bars lock the submissive into a precise stance.

Consider where the restraint will be applied, how long it will be worn, and whether the scene calls for temporary positioning or sustained restriction.

HOW DO SPREADER BARS & YOKES WORK IN POWER DYNAMICS?

Spreader bars and yokes remove autonomy through posture. Forced openness increases vulnerability, while restricted stance limits instinctive reactions. When posture is controlled via a yoke, even head position and balance fall under the dominant’s authority.

This loss of physical choice sharpens psychological submission, keeping attention fixed on sensation, obedience, and endurance rather than movement.

WHAT MAKES THE STOCKROOM’S SPREADER BARS & YOKES DIFFERENT?

Built for real scenes

These are not novelty props. Materials and hardware are selected for durability, stability, and repeated use—critical when leverage, pressure, or extended restraint is involved.

Informed by decades of BDSM experience

The Stockroom’s long history with serious bondage gear shapes this spreader bar and yoke collection. Each piece reflects real-world use, supporting a wide range of dynamics without sacrificing safety or performance.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Communication & Circulation

Any restraint that fixes limb position requires regular circulation checks. 

Balance & Supervision

Because spreaders and yokes affect posture and stability, scenes should take place on secure footing. A restrained partner should never be left unattended.

FAQs

Are spreader bars good for beginners?

Yes—especially adjustable designs. Starting with shorter sessions allows new players to understand how restraint affects balance and comfort.

Can spreader bars and yokes be used together?

Yes. Combining limb restriction with posture control significantly intensifies scenes and is common in advanced bondage play.

How long can someone be restrained with a spreader or yoke?

Duration depends on positioning, circulation, and experience level. Frequent checks and breaks are essential.
