Mummification

In BDSM, mummification refers to a form of bondage in which a living person is tightly wrapped or restrained with suitable materials so that mobility is greatly reduced. Common materials include film, bandages, cloth, or tape; depending on the setup, special restraint equipment may also be used. The term should not be confused with archaeological or medical mummification of dead bodies.

This practice is potentially risky and should only be attempted with great caution, clear agreement, and constant supervision. Key concerns include unrestricted breathing, quick release options, heat regulation, circulation, and avoiding nerve or tissue damage. Full immobilization, airtight wrapping, or materials that are difficult to remove in an emergency are dangerous and should not be used lightly.
