My plan to make out with a friend at a sexy dance party fell through and all I got was… a hot Shibari experiment? As of writing this, I still haven’t debuted this tie in-person… But, maybe you could follow the tutorial, don the lingerie, and have much better luck than I do!
Matt added Note! A huge thank you to Hien for this incredibly well put together tutorial. If you find yourself making the tie, make sure to let Hien know! I’m sure he’ll be delighted to see it! Then, if you aren’t too tied up by the process… come and support our work! Comics like these are only possible with regular financial support!

The Shibari Lingerie by Hien Pham, published 8/11/2026 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/the-shibari-lingerie-hien-pham
Hien Pham draws in a lushly rendered style that alternates between realistic illustrations and simplified cartoons in textured pencil lines. He uses the full spectrum of colors.
Hien is a bespectacled, dark-skinned, heavyset man with thinning hair pulled into a bun and a bushy beard. He wears a white button-down shirt with nice navy slacks, while both his tie and belt are made of intricately braided yellow shibari ropes.
Hien taps the head of his microphone with his finger, making a "bmph! bmph! bmph!" noise before addressing the audience from his place on a stage with a giant "TIED" free-standing logo just off center behind him. "Welcome, one and all, to my TIED Talk!" He announces. "I have a very exciting presentation for you today! Put your hands together for the official unveiling of... MY LATEST ROPE EXPERIMENT!"
The background curtains pull back to reveal a movie theater-size screen with a close-up of an underwear-clad groin-area. Red shibari ropes are intricately knotted ad bound around the model's waist, upper thighs, and around the bulge of their penis and balls, creating the look of a lingerie garter set.
Title: The Shibari Lingerie
"With thanks to our Masturbateer, I will demonstrate how to put this tie together live on stage!" Hien enthusiastically informs the audience as hi model walks on stage. The Masturbateer is a heavyset middle age man with light brown skin and shortly-cropped black curly hair and a well-trimmed beard and mustache. He wears the same white shirt as Hien but with a little pink bowtie, and instead of pants he only sports black briefs with black garters around his calfs that hold up his white socks.

Narration: You can use any Shibari rope material, but I'd recommend cotton, bamboo, or nylon for long-term wear.
Illustrations show two 30ft (~9m) bundles of red rope and safety scissors.
The following instructions are accompanied by drawings of each step.
1) Let's start with a Single Column Tie! Find the middle of your rope (the bight). Wrap the tail around your hip and pull it through the bight to create a Lark's Head.
2) Reverse tension, wrap around the back of your hip, then pull the tail through the new bight you've just created.
3a) Save a small loop before pulling the tail behind the waistband.
3b) Feed the tail through the loop and pull tight to create a Half Hitch!
Narration: Remember this Single Column Tie technique, as we'll use it again soon!
As Hien secures the rope around his model's waist, he tells the audience, "This tie came about in preparation for a Tom of Finland-themed dance party where I had plans to make out with a friend. I don't own much leather, but I thought I could style a look that would work with the party's theme!"

Instructions:
4a) Flip the tail up to create a small loop.
4b) Pull part of the tail through to create a new loop.
4c) Pull on the top rope to tighten!
4d) Use your thymb and index finger to pull more loops through.
4e) Repeat to create a short chain stitch.
Kneeling on the floor, Hien tightens a knot on the model's thigh while explaining, "I became attracted to the juxtaposition of men in full leather garb standing around someone in a white steamed dress shirt, pantsless, with nothing but sexy lingerie on. Inspired, I devised the first draft of this tie in a few hours before that evening!
Instructions:
4f) Pull your tail through the final loop to lock the Chain Stitch.
5) Create a Single Column Tie by first wrapping the tail around the back of your thigh, reverse tension, wrap, then lock it with a Half Hitch!

Instructions:
6) Use a Lark's Head to connect the second rope to the side of your thigh.
7a) Connect to the middle back of the waistband with a Crossing Hitch.
7b) Mirror that Crossing Hitch to create a Cow Hitch!
8) Single Column Tie around the other thigh.
The model and Hien in their cartoonified chibi form recline on the ground facing each other, as if gossiping at a slumber party.
"Unfortunately," Hien admits with embarrassment. "the friend I had hoped to kiss didn't make it to the party!!! Without that plan, I felt awkward and directionless... In the end, the Shibari Lingerie stayed hidden in my pants for the rest of the evening..."
Instructions:
9) Wrap to the front, then direct the rope up with a Crossing Hitch.
10) Chain Stitch to the waist band.
11) Use a Crossing Hitch to redirect the tail toward the front.
12) Redirect the rope down using a Cow Hitch.
13) Split the tail and wrap around the crotch toward the back.
14) Lock the tails to the back ropes with Cow Hitches!

The regularly-drawn model presents his rope garters, turning to show both front and back, as Hien's voice narrates, "And there you have it! An intermediate Shibari Lingerie built on foundational knots that you can improve and make your own!"
The audience lights up the stage with the flashes from their cameras as they take photos of the chibi-fied Masturbateer posing in front of them.
"Even though this piece is inexplicably tied to a silly anecdote about my makeout-that-never-was..." Chibi Hien admits with a smile. "I was truly glad I could be inspired to create something fun for someone I cared about."
Hien and the Masturbateer in their chibi forms strike enthusiastic poses as he concludes, "Thank you for coming to my TIED Talk! My name is Hien, and I'll see you again next time I'm puttin' on the ropes!"
