Mummification

Mummification is a BDSM bondage practice in which a consenting person is wrapped tightly, sometimes from head to toe, in materials like cling film, cohesive bandages, bondage tape, rope, or fabric. The goal is full-body immobilization along with sensory control and a heightened psychological experience of helplessness and surrender. Because it can limit circulation, movement, and breathing, it is considered advanced or edge play that depends on clear negotiation, careful monitoring, quick-release or cutting tools kept close at hand, temperature awareness, and attentive aftercare. It appeals to people for different reasons, from the feeling of total containment to the release of giving up control. It is not specific to any orientation and is practiced across many communities.
