HNT: Pretty In Pink

As I mentioned a week or so ago, I got several new collars. A few black, but also a few in some fun colors and with accessories to match. This one I really like, even though I’m not a major pink girl. It’s a nice color, and it’s comfortable. Plus, it matches a few pairs of shoes. Enjoy!

What Shall I Hit You With Tonight?

Recently I got the new Sportsheets Crop Top System.  It’s a really great way to add variety and also add to your crop collection!  The kit comes with a crop shaft and 3 heads that can be used to change up the fun (or coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe for the evening).

The three tops that come in the set are a brown hand, purple heart, and black wide loop.  All are made of faux leather, and securely attached to a coupler.

Here’s a close-up of the coupler.  It slips into the hole at the top of the shaft and holds the top securely in place so you can use as much (or as little) force as you want without worrying that the top will come off and go flying.

This is a really fun set, and a way to have variety in your crops. And, of course, it’s a great way to color coordinate your play night!  You can read my full review at EdenFantasys by clicking here.

Foxy, Foxy – What’s It Going to Be?

I love cuffs of all sorts. While I’m probably more partial to separate cuffs that can be linked apart as necessary, on occasion playing with handcuffs can be fun. While I love the look and feel of metal handcuffs, sometimes it’s fun to play more on the softer side. Or at least look that way.

 The Foxtails Faux Fur handcuffs are a cute set of cuffs. They come in an easy to open clamshell case. My cuffs came in mink, which describes the color of the fur. The fur is black and somewhat long, and fairly soft to the touch while still feeling like animal fur rather than plush fake furs. It lines the interior of each cuff, while the exterior of the cuffs is black.

Each cuff is 10” long, and since they secure with Velcro are pretty adjustable. The cuffs have an interesting closure, with a double Velcro strap. The first Velcro closure goes on as tight as you need, and then a second closure, with a smoother, shiny black back, goes over the top. This makes them more secure, and also improves the look of the cuff.


These handcuffs have a black plastic D-ring. Each D-ring is connected to a short 1 1/2″ long piece of faux leather that’s riveted closed in the center. They seem fairly secure.

If the cuffs need to be cleaned, it’s best to do so with a damp washcloth on the exterior or fur. Hey could be run through the washer on gentle in a laundry bag, but they should never be put in the dryer.

So, Do They Work? I think these cuffs are pretty cute. I like the fur on the inside, as it helps prevent chafing as metal can cause. It’s a touch scratchy, and doesn’t feel quite as soft as real mink, though. I do like the double Velcro closure these have. I think it makes the cuffs look a bit more elegant than just having the Velcro strap showing.

The cuffs seem pretty securely held together, but keep in mind that these are more for light play than heavy restraint. I would have preferred the D-rings be made of metal rather than plastic. I think metal looks better, and there is the possibility of the plastic D-rings breaking if things get a little rough.

My husband thought these were kind of cute as well, and he liked securing my arms both in front of me and behind me. He also found them easy to take off when we were ready for a change in play.

Tied Up, Wide, and Spread to the World

There’s nothing quite like a spreader bar. I always find myself closing my legs when I think I’ve had enough but my husband doesn’t, and a spreader bar is a great way to keep me open and exposed. I was intrigued by the Spread ‘Em Bar & Cuff Set from Pipedream, so I was happy to review this one for EdenFantasys.

This bar and cuff set is part of Pipedream’s Fetish Fantasy series. It includes a 25” spreader bar, a 12” spreader bar, four adjustable neoprene cuffs, an adjustable collar, and a mask. The collar isn’t listed in the contents or on the cardboard packaging, but it’s included all the same and makes for a nice, complete set.

Everything comes in a black bag which is just over 25” long. The bag has a woven nylon loop on the top that can be used to hang the set on a hook or in your closet out of the way. It also has a nylon handle for easy carrying. The bag zips open, and comes with a lock and 2 keys as well. The lock is a standard suitcase lock – it’s not that hard to open but can provide enough deterrent to keep the contents away from curious eyes.

The long bar just fits in the bag, and can be a bit tricky to insert and remove. It has rubber ends and 1” rings that are attached to a chain running through the bar. The rings swivel a bit, and you can pull each slightly out to allow for some adjustment if the cuffs are clipped to the ends. A ring is also located 8” from each end to which you can attach cuffs or chains.

The short bar is similar in construction, but it has 1 ring set in its center for attachment. Affixed to this ring is a nylon lead that can be extended to a 16” length (to the end of the lobster hook) or shortened to a length of 10”. This lead cannot be removed, unless you decide to cut it off.

The four cuffs are neoprene with a Velcro closure, and each is 2” wide with a swivel lobster hook attached so the cuffs will attach to any of the rings on the bars, or even to each other. The wrist cuffs are 10 1/2″ long (with Velcro covering 7 1/2″ of the cuff), and the ankle cuffs are 12” long (8 1/2″ of Velcro on the cuff). They can be adjusted to a wide range of ankle and wrist sizes and the Velcro keeps the cuffs firmly on.

The matching collar that’s included is 17” long and has a D-ring attached. Velcro covers 14”, so it can be adjusted quite a bit. You can clip the cuffs to the collar or use any lead as necessary.

The blindfold is just a thin piece of satin with an elastic strap. It’s not the most comfortable blindfold but it will do in a pinch, and it does block your vision.

The set is easy to clean. Both the bars and cuffs can be wiped down if necessary with water and dried. The blindfold can be tossed in the washer in a laundry bag and drip-dried or tumbled on low in the dryer.

So, Did It Work? This set is great!  I love how versatile it is and how the two bars can be used alone or together to create a different restraint. Cuff and connect ankles to the end of the large bar and wrists to its interior rings, and you are downright helpless. Put on the collar and clip the lead from the short bar to it, attach cuffed wrists to the bar, and your arms are restrained nicely. Want arms restrained behind the back? The small bar works well this way too. The large and small bar can be clipped together with the lead, and although it’s off-center, you are fully restrained and relatively immobile. We tried this every which way: standing, bent over, on hands and knees, and on my back, and it was a lot of fun.

I like how this comes with a matching collar, too – that was a bonus I wasn’t expecting. The blindfold is fine in a pinch, but I have another lightweight one that I keep in the bag.  I like the Velcro on the collar and cuffs, too – it makes for a quick release if necessary, but it’s also quite secure.

The bag is great – it’s compact and easy to store, and I love that it actually locks. The padlock would be easy to replace with something a little more secure, but this works for our needs just fine.

Overall, this is a great set and a lot of fun to use. Thank you to EdenFantasys for sending this to me for free to review! If you’d like to have some fun with the Spread ‘Em Bar & Cuff Set, you can pick this one up at EdenFantasys by clicking the widget below.

Bring Your Skin Alive!

My husband and I have been exploring BDSM a lot lately, and while we have the standard items, we haven’t experimented with a lot of sensation toys, other than floggers and paddles. When I saw the Pinwheel at GoodVibrations, I thought it looked like fun, so I had to request it to review.

The Pinwheel comes packaged inside a resealable plastic bag with a Good Vibrations cardboard topper. The toy itself is sealed in a black plastic sleeve, which is great to store it in as long as you’re careful how you cut it open.

This toy is just 7” long overall. It is polished stainless steel, so it gleams in the light. The blue handle is painted over the silver. The wheel itself is only 1 1/4″ in diameter, but even though it’s small, it’s a bit intimidating. Tiny, sharp needles radiate out from the center of the wheel, evenly spaced. They look dangerous and painful, and I have to admit I was a bit worried about trying this out.

The degree of pain the Pinwheel inflicts depends on the pressure you use. It probably won’t break the skin except with immense pressure, as there’s typically 3 of the needles that are in contact with your skin at any one time, which spreads the sensation out and prevents the needles from drawing blood. If the wheel is lightly run over the skin, it mostly tickles, but it’s a sharp tickling sensation. Run it harder, and it downright hurts. (I’ll say here that I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain – it doesn’t take much for me to be hurting and begging for mercy). I found that I could still feel tingles and pangs where the wheel ran over my skin for some time afterwards, and when it was used over that area again, my nerves were really on fire.

The Pinwheel is made of stainless steel, so it’s easy to care for, and with proper care will last a lifetime. It’s doubtful that the points will dull, due to the nature of the play. If necessary, this toy can be boiled, bleached, or run through the dishwater to clean, or it can be washed with warm water and soap. Don’t worry if you get any lube on it – water-based, oil, and silicone lubes won’t damage it in the slightest.

So, Did It Work? Oh, yes! I liked how this felt when my husband ran the Pinwheel over my body, and the tingling sensations really made my skin sensitive. While it tickled more than hurt on the bottoms of my feet, everywhere else my nerve endings felt immensely alive. I could feel phantom pricks from the needles for a long time afterwards, and even see the trails of the needles on my skin – little ribbons of pinpricks all over. It definitely tested my pain tolerance!

This is something that we’ve added to our arsenal, and while it isn’t for every time we play, it’s great for the nights we want sensation play (or even those nights that call for extra punishment before pleasure).
