A bondage wheel is one of the largest (and most expensive) pieces of SM equipment found in a BDSM dungeon. It consists of a large vertically mounted rotating wheel to which the bondage subject is strapped. In this respect it is similar to a . The difference is the bondage wheel can be rotated allowing the subject to be turned upside down. The subject can either be strapped facing the wheel (suitable for whipping) or facing out (for genital access).
The wheel body has various straps for restraint and normally also attachments for extra rope bondage. There may also be foot rests, hand holds and a head support. The vast majority of bondage wheels are mounted on walls and there are only two known self standing wheels in the United States.
