Duct Tape vs Gorilla Tape

Postby bondagefreak » Thu Dec 10, 2015 9:05 pm

Okay so last month I've had the chance to tape up and gag one of my buddies using Gorilla tape. I usually go for duct tape, but we both wanted to try out the Gorilla tape and evaluate how well it stood up to it's reputation.
I've used it in the past, but not in the present context.

For those of you who AREN'T familiar with Gorilla tape, here are two things you should know:


First, Gorilla tape is quite literally Duct tape on steroids.
It's stronger, stickier, waterproof and twice as thick.

Second, don't vote on my poll!
Go try it out on someone, or have it tested on yourself, then you can vote :o



So going back to my recent experience with Gorilla tape vs Duct tape, here are a few things my friend and I noticed.


When it came to taping ankles, wrists and arms, Gorilla tape was the clear winner.
Industrial strength Duct tape is already mighty strong, but this stuff is just unbreakable!

If you wanna make sure your buddy doesn't manage to escape his bonds, Gorilla tape is your best bet.


On the other hand, if you're planning to do a full body mummification, Duct tape would be the preferable option.

Gorilla tape is twice as thick as duct tape, meaning that for the same size roll, you get about half the amount tape.
Unless you're ready to spend a considerable amount of cash on mummifying your buddy, you're better off sticking with duct tape.


Now for the part you really wanna hear: the gagging!

I've tested both and I have to say, they're both evenly matched.

Gorilla tape is way stronger and stickier, but it's so thick that it doesn't mold as well around the mouth and face.

Duct tape loses it's grip more easily upon contact with saliva, but it's thinner and allows you to create a perfect mold around the victim's lower face, sealing the lips shut if done right.

If you're opting for a wraparound tape gag over an un-stuffed mouth, go with Duct tape.
It'll keep your friend muzzled up tighter.


On the other hand, if you're going for a mouth stuffing + a wraparound tape gag, I'd definitely go with Gorilla tape.
Since your victim's mouth'll be jam-packed (in my buddy's case I used both of my worn ankle socks), creating an extra tight molding seal around the lips isn't as important. What's important is keeping those socks in, or whatever else you're using as a gag.

Gorilla tape is real strong and sticky and it kept my buddy muzzled up with my socks for well over an hour, with no sign of wear and tear whatsoever.


Having said all this, here's my final verdict:

When it comes to taping up a person's limbs and body, I'd have to go with Gorilla tape.
The strength and stickiness it provides is just too great to ignore.

But when it comes to gagging, I'd have to go with Duct tape.
The thinness of the material actually gives Duct tape a slight edge when it comes to creating an air-tight seal around the victim's mouth and face.

All in all I feel that both are really great to have around when having fun with friends.
Using a combination of both would be the ideal, especially for the gagging.
Duct tape around the head and Gorilla tape to reinforce it all.
Both are just fantastic for anything bondage-related.


What about you? Which do you prefer out of the two?

I'd say duct tape is better for all as really you don't need it to be any stronger than that.

If you really don't want the person to be able to easily escape, Gorilla tape is much better, because regular duct tape really isn't that hard to get out for the most part. Gorilla tape can be defeated too if you know what you're doing and the person wrapping you up doesn't but it's definitely harder. But try to avoid putting it on skin, or especially, hair. Duct tape is mildly painful coming off. Gorilla tape is a lot worse.

I think in both cases, it has a lot to do with the skill of the person doing the taping.

I had a hard time deciding between the two, but in the end I voted for Duct Tape.
Glad to see Gorilla Tape leading the poll though!


One thing's for certain, I'll always be keeping a few rolls of both these tapes in my storage room.
You never know when they'll come in handy 8)

Don't forget the aesthetics as well! I prefer duct tape just for the look. I love that silver. :)

I've been bound and gagged with duct tape lots of times. My playmate has gagged me effectively with multiple strips of duct tape and rendered me completely speechless, to the point that it was actually difficult to peel off.

I've played with Gorilla Tape on my own and for binding, it binds TIGHT! It's a little tricky and can hurt a bit to get off, and *will* take hairs off! As a gag, a sister of mine told me it sticks like heck, when I tried it it kept me shut up okay, but peeled off easily. I wouldn't want to be wraparound-gagged with it -- actually I would, but taking it off would hurt like hell, I'm sure.
