Waist to Thigh

A person in a white bodysuit is lying on their back, with their right leg raised. The right knee is bent so the lower leg is parallel to the ground. A blue rope attaches to their waist with a lark’s head and then connects to the right leg just above the knee, where it is secured with a hojo cuff.

This deceptively simple position is great for connective pain play.

Step by step

We are looking at the midsection of a person wearing a white bodysuit. A doubled blue rope is tied around their waist with a lark’s head. The lark’s head is offset to the right of the body, about halfway between the right edge of the body and the midline. The lark’s head is arranged so that the tail of the rope comes around the right hip and goes straight through the bight, so it will cinch easily when pulled on.

1Tie a tight lark’s head around the waist.

The rope should be below the floating ribs and above the hip bone.

2Bring the thigh up toward the chest and tie a hojo cuff around it.

A closeup of the hojo cuff around the right thigh. The ends of the rope have been tied in a half hitch around the line that connects the waist to the thigh.

3Stabilize the hojo cuff by adding a half hitch around the connecting line.

This image is identical to the previous one, except that the rope is attached with a captured overhand cuff rather than a hojo cuff.

OPTION2To avoid cinching on the thigh, you can use a captured overhand cuff on the thigh instead of a hojo cuff.
