A Collar of Protection is the type of collar a submissive would wear if they were being protected by a dominant. If a submissive is coming off of an abusive relationship, for instance, wearing this collar gives them time to heal and allows the dominant to protect them.

A collar of Consideration is a collar worn if a submissive and dominant are starting a new relationship. Generally, these collars are worn for a certain period of time before the two either part or move on to the second BDSM collar which would be…

The Training Collar which is offered to the submissive by the dominant. Think of this as “going steady”. The relationship is becoming more serious and the submissive is becoming more a part of the dominant’s life. This is the time to work out disagreements, make rules, etc… before the final BDSM collar is presented.

The Formal Collar, or slave collar, is the final step in a dominant and submissive relationship. This is the ultimate bond between the two and show complete submission to the dominant by the submissive. The collar is usually presented as a part of a ceremony and is a representation of the relationship.
