A Parachute is a testicular restraint used in BDSM play. It takes the shape of a cone with the tip cut off, and is typically made of leather. It has a seam along which it is fastened, usually with snaps, though some are capable of being locked closed. This device is placed over and around the scrotum in such a fashion that it lies within the volume of the cone. Some parachutes have grommets around the base of the cone for the attachment of items, typically weights.
