A bondage suit, also commonly called a gimp suit, is a garment designed to cover the body completely (usually including the hands and feet), fitting it closely, and often including anchor points for bondage. It often has an attached hood; if not, it will be worn with a bondage hood or "gimp mask". It may be made from any material, although leather, PVC, rubber, spandex and darlexx are the most usual. Leather (not being stretchy) cannot be as close-fitting as the others.
Use
It is used in BDSM to objectify the wearer, or gimp, and reduce him or her to the status of a sexual toy, rather than a sexual partner. Unless there are suitably placed zippers, the breasts and genitals will be inaccessible while the suit is worn. While it sometimes differs from a catsuit, unitard, or zentai more in purpose than appearance, the typical bondage suit is black and of very tear resistant material (often reinforced by straps and barely stretchable) and includes integrated metal rings, belts, buckles and laces to fasten it and engage ropes or chains - e.g. to lift and hang the wearer from the ceiling.
An example of a person who uses this monster is Carl Fleabag. He has a monster lurking in his draw.
Terminology
Following usage of the term in Quentin Tarantino's movie Pulp Fiction, it is sometimes called a gimp suit. Such suits are also depicted in the film The People Under the Stairs and the FX series American Horror Story. A gimp suit is worn by a man in the series Being Human and the man is referred to as a gimp. A gimp suit is also featured in the video games Killer7, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Postal 2 and Saints Row: The Third. As well as making a cameo appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
