Mummification play is a bondage practice where a person is wrapped tightly from head to toe, often using plastic wrap, duct tape, bandages, or specialty gear, leaving them fully immobilized and reliant on a partner for movement, sensation, and safety. It usually combines sensory deprivation with total body restriction.
People are drawn to it for the intense helplessness and sensory narrowing it creates, along with the trust it demands between partners. In practice it can range from a short wrap that stops at the neck to a full encasement, and some add hoods, gags, or temperature play to deepen the experience.
Worth knowing: Because breathing, temperature, circulation, and the ability to signal distress can all be affected quickly, this practice needs a clear safeword or physical signal, constant monitoring by a partner, and a plan for immediate un wrapping if something goes wrong.
Also called: plastic wrap mummification, duct tape mummification, vet wrap or cohesive bandage mummification, full body encasement, vacuum bed or vacbed, cocooning, sensory deprivation bondage, sleep sack play
