Cages are some of the largest items of bondage equipment, and provide a 'space' of confinement rather than directly controlling the freedom of the limbs. Unlike enclosed spaces such as cells, sleep sacks or body bags, cages also display the captive, in their vulnerability.

Cages for use in bondage scenes are typically constructed of wire mesh, or steel tubing or bars. (Wire cages can be bought cheaply from pet shops, but do not provide the feeling of inescapability that many captives seek.)

One of the important uses of cages is to provoke feelings of psychological reactance as the captive struggles against the bars, and then reaches the state of helplessness once convinced of their inescapability.

There are three basic designs of cage

Puppy cage: This is probabily the most common cage design seen in clubs and dungeons, typically they are about 4 feet long, 2-3 feet wide and about 3 feet tall. The dimensions give the captive little room for movement and force them to kneel or lie curled up. Most commercially available cages can be dismantled for storage.

Upright cage: are designed to confine a person in the standing position, typically they are about 2 feet wide, 1-2 feet in depth and about 7 feet high. Designs usually incorporate multiple doors to allow the top access to the captives breasts and genitals without having to release them.

Gibbet cage': A gibbet cage is based on the historical device used for displaying the bodies of executed prisoners (it should be noteed that gibbets where never designed to imprision the living!). The SM community has taken the concept and transformed it into a cage roughly in the shape of a person designed for extremely restrictive confinement. Gibbet cages look extreme and provide an enviroment where the ceptive is almost totally immobile and very helpless. The main disadvantage of this type of cage is that berson being confined needs to be approximately the same size as the cage. Very tall people will just not fir and very short people will look slightly rediculous.
