Collar, in a BDSM context, is a device of any material placed around the neck of the sᴜʙᴍɪssɪᴠᴇ partner.

It is also a term used to show Ownership of one partner by another.

A person wearing a Collar to symbolize their relationship with another is said to be, "Collared".

Some people conduct formal, "Collaring Ceremonies", which are regarded as effectively solemnizing their relationship in a similar way as a marriage ceremony.

The standard form of a Collar is a black leather band around the neck and often has metal D-rings added to allow the attachment of a Leash.

Collars may be used in Rᴏʟᴇ Pʟᴀʏ games involving Dᴇɢʀᴀᴅᴀᴛɪᴏɴ and Humiliation because they have connotations of control and pet-like status, especially when worn with a Leash.

The most common material for a Collar is leather, and many people use actual dog Collars with a buckle.

Other materials include rubber, PVC, and metal (typically stainless steel; however, a few sources offer precious metal versions).

Many Collars are constructed with several different materials, and may also be decorated in various ways.

Collars often feature buckles, straps and hooks, padlocks and other attachments.

A Wolf Collar is a special kind of Collar fitted with long spikes.

Such Collars were originally used to protect dogs from wolves, but Wolf Collars have now been adopted by the BDSM Community. However, the spikes are considered to be dangerous, and therefore such Collars are used with care.

Some Wolf Collars have the spikes coated in plastic for added protection.

A Neck Corset is a type of Posture Collar that incorporates stays.
It is a Corset-like device designed for the neck instead of the waist, but usually it is not used to compress the neck in the way that a normal Corset compresses the waist, except in Bʀᴇᴀᴛʜ Cᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ Pʟᴀʏ.

Stays incorporated in a Neck Corset are specially made shorter ones, used to support the weight of the head on the shoulders, while its Corset structure helps in maintaining posture by keeping the chin high and the neck extended. It is often combined with a traditional Corset in order to achieve better posture.

Some Neck Corsets are designed to cover the mouth, and they are primarily used in BDSM, because they can be used as Gags. These devices are often called, Mouth Corsets.
