If you follow anyone in the bondage community you've probably seen microfoam tape. The stuff is one of the great inventions of the world. For a rigger it goes fire, the wheel, penicillin, sliced bread and then microfoam. Yes, it is that incredible. Imagine being able to tape someone's face quickly and easily with a substance that adheres just as well as duct tape, has the elasticity of electrical tape, is thicker so it muffled cries more and then comes off with ease (provided you have use of your fingers that is). Did I mention that it is stark white and looks great?
I started using this wonder of modern medicine about five years ago and have been hooked ever since. The medical industry is a bondage enthusiast's best friend in so many ways. Staples at every shoot for me now are two kinds of medical tape, safety scissors and gauze. Yes, I said medical tape. Microfoam was created to hold dressings for injuries. It sticks to the skin like glue but can be removed without damaging skin. It causes no irritation and breathes, so there is not bruising associated with it. Even better it does not stick to hair, so it can be wrapped around anything!
This doesn't mean that duct tape and electrical tape are going anywhere. You'll see them on damsels forever. It just means that the box of goodies a rigger carries around is like a great tool box for a carpenter. You will find a vintage screwdriver right next to a brand new, high-tech wrench. To steal from an old adage, "Find new bondage materials, keep the old ... one is silver, the other gold."
