A bondage hood (also called a gimp mask or bondage mask) is a fetishistic hood. It may be made from rubber, latex, PVC, spandex, darlexx or leather. Full-faced hoods are typically used for the practice of head bondage, and to restrain and objectify the wearer through depersonalization, disorientation and/or sensory deprivation.
The use of bondage hoods can be hazardous if breathing is impeded.
Bondage hoods are frequently referenced in popular culture, most notably in the film Pulp Fiction.
