The rope is anchored by being tied around the waist. A crotch rope is most commonly made of [[hemp]] or [[jute]], but [[webbing]], [[strap]]s or a [[bondage harness|harness]] are also used. It is sometimes combined with other bondage techniques including [[predicament bondage]].{{sfn|Harrington|2007|p=210}}

A crotch rope may be tied over clothing or directly onto the skin; it can be worn under clothing or in full view. While crotch ropes are most commonly used on women, variations exist for use on men.<ref name=Kinkly>{{cite web|title=Crotch Rope|url=https://www.kinkly.com/definition/6342/crotch-rope|website=Kinkly|date=9 February 2022}}</ref>
