Simply Divine!

I’ve gotten a lot of new bondage gear lately, in particular cuffs and collars.  My newest collar that I received free from EdenFantasys to review is the Divinity Collar from Spartacus.  White leather, light blue faux fur lining, and blue rhineshones make this pretty as well as functional.  The snap back makes it easy to adjust and remove, and the small D-ring allows you to attach a leash for play.  The Divine Collar, is, simply divine!

Restraint: It’s What I Crave

Most of my bondage wear is black or red. Those seem to be very popular colors when shopping for BDSM gear, and for good reason. But occasionally I like something a little different. I had purchased the Spartacus Crave collar with nipple clamps from EdenFantasys awhile ago, which came in a surprisingly delightful purple color, so I had to get the Crave Wrist Restraints from EdenFantasys as well to go with it.

The Crave wrist cuffs come in an easy to open clamshell case. The front insert has a picture of a woman wearing the cuffs, while the back has some product information. The cuffs are visible through the front.

These cuffs are absolutely lovely! The leather is a gorgeous shade of purple, and matches the leather of the collar. It is fine-grained, and smooth to the touch.

 The back of the cuffs is covered with black faux fur, which is soft and pleasant to the touch. All the hardware is black, which really gives the cuffs an elegant look.

Each cuff is 9” long and 2” wide. Black stitching runs all around to secure the fur lining to the leather, and all the stitching seems secure.

The buckling piece is a 12 1/4″ long and 1″ wide strip of leather. This piece weaves twice under the wider leather of the cuff and is secured in place with black studs. Eight buckling holes are spaced about 3/8” apart, allowing these cuffs to be adjusted from 4” to 7 1/2″. When buckled on the first hole, the edges of the cuff just barely touch. When on the last whole, the band overlaps considerably.

Between the first weave towards the buckle end is a 1” black D-ring, which is large enough to slip a finger through. You can also attach both rings to a leash or other restraining device if desired.

These cuffs are easy to clean. The leather can be wiped with a mild soap and a wet cloth, or leather cleaner can be used. If necessary, the fur can be wiped or patted with a soapy wet cloth. They can be stored flat, or gently rolled.

I didn’t buy these with any real purpose in mind, except that they would match my purple collar. However, Valentine’s day was coming up, and when I offered my husband a color choice for our “date night”, he popped up with purple.

Paired with the matching collar, these looked wonderful! I also had a new black and purple pirate wench costume, and together it looked pretty fetching. My husband really enjoyed the look as well. I found the cuffs to be comfortable – this is one of the few pairs I have that have a soft lining and they didn’t dig in to my wrists or trap lots of sweat underneath. They stayed buckled and in place, and worked well whether they were linked together or just on my wrists.

These are truly lovely, well-made set, and a wonderful addition to our collection.  I bought mine at EdenFantasys, and you can too by clicking here.

The Red and The Black

Wrist cuffs are fun, but there are times you only want your ankles attached to something. I have trouble with how small some wrist cuffs are to actually use them on my ankles, so I thought I’d give the Kink Cuffs for Ankles by KinkLab a try.

The cuffs come in a cute, round cylinder with a black pull-off lid. The lid has a strong seal, but by pulling the loop in the center and holding on to the sides, the top whooshes off and the cuffs are released. The front paper in the canister has a picture of the product, with some information about the cuffs.

The cuffs are quite pretty, and in my favorite color combination of late: red and black. They are made of webbed black nylon underneath, with an attached leather strap on top. The nylon is 12” long and 2” wide, and the leather is 14” long from strap end to buckle. This piece is 1” wide, fine grained on the top, and unfinished (suede-like) on the bottom. Each cuff has a D-ring and a buckle closure.

The leather is attached to the nylon by 4 rivets, which go through to the backside of the nylon. Two rivets hold the buckle to the piece, while the D-ring is held on between the other two. The leather has 11 buckle holes, spaced 3/8” apart. The cuffs adjust to fit ankles from 6” to 11” in circumference. The cuffs are non-locking, and easy to remove when done with play. They buckle securely and are not easy to pull off during use.

The cuffs can be cleaned by wiping the nylon with a wet washcloth and patted dry. Take care not to get the leather too wet. Both the nylon and leather are resistant to tearing or creasing. I like to store these in their canister, but you can also lay them flat in a drawer.

We really enjoyed these cuffs. We play moderately hard, and we had no problems with the cuffs staying in place. I didn’t find them to chafe or rub against my ankles painfully, nor did they trap lots of sweat underneath. They worked well when attached to a spreader bar or to each other, and they were comfortable for long-term wear. They’re even large enough for my husband’s ankles, although I don’t think he’ll be wearing them much.

These were a great choice for us. While we purchased these solely as ankle restraints, they’d also work for larger wrists.  These would also be a good choice if you don’t need locking cuffs.  They are well made and should last for a long time.

Hog Tie Me!

My husband and I like to play around with bondage and submissive play, and we were looking something to give us a new experience .  I purchased the Hog Tie Set from Sportsheets at EdenFantasys as it looked like it would add some fun.

The set comes in an easy-to-open clamshell case, with a picture of a girl restrained by the set on the cover. It is made in the USA.

The set has 5 pieces – 4 cuffs for wrists and ankles and a Hog Tie piece. The cuffs are each 10” long (although I had one that was slightly shorter than the others at 9 3/4″). Each cuff has a Velcro strap and nylon webbing that extends the length to 15 1/2″. The cuffs will fit smaller wrists and ankles with some overlap, and larger ones with a gap between the cuff ends. The Velcro piece is quite long, but can be trimmed down so that it doesn’t overlap the ring.

The cuffs themselves are soft and smooth, and have a velour/felt feel. I’m not sure what they’re made of, but they seem sturdy, and resistant to stretching and tearing. Each cuff has a small Sportsheets logo on a tag on the front. They are 2” wide, with the Velcro/nylon pieces being 1” wide and centered on the cuffs. The black stitching seems secure, and although you can see and feel the stitching on the back side that goes against your skin, it doesn’t rub or feel uncomfortable during wear.

On each cuff is a loop in the nylon webbing where the metal keychain loop, about 1 1/4″, is attached. This loop is also connected to a snap hook.

The hogtie piece consists of a large steel O-ring 2” in diameter, around which 4 keychain rings with 1 1/8” diameter are attached by nylon. The nylon is wrapped around each and the center ring and held in place by 2 rivets, each with the S logo. The nylon connectors create about 1” of space between the O-ring and the connector rings. These rings are securely connected. You can slide them around the ring to aid in adjusting the position and comfort of the tie.

This set is quite versatile. All 5 pieces can be used together to create the standard position, either kneeling or on your stomach. The cuffs can be used separately and attached to each other or other items for bondage play as well.

If cleaning is necessary, simply wipe the pieces down with soap and water and air dry. They can also be washed safely in the washing machine on a gentle cycle in a garment bag.

We found this product to be quite fun!  To read a bit about our experience, see my review at  EdenFantasys.

All Wrapped Up

Like to play around with bondage, but tired of the same old cuffs? Want to try something different?  You may like the fun you can have with bondage tape from Babeland.com.

Pleasure Tape from PipeDream’s Fetish Fantasy Series is a fun product. It comes in an easy to open package, and looks like a roll of duct tape. The roll is about 4” in diameter, with an opening of 3”. It’s the perfect size to use on a packaging tape dispenser. This makes it convenient to dispense and cut as needed. Of course, you can always cut it with scissors to the desired length.

The tape is 2” wide, and there’s about 65 feet on the roll, which is ample to tape your partner many times over. It’s made of PVC, so it’s water resistant and holds up fairly well to stretching and pulling without ripping or tearing. The tape I received is a vibrant red color, but it also comes in black.

The tape sticks only to itself. It won’t stick to skin or hair, so it can be removed cleanly and easily, but wind it about your partner’s arms or legs, and it will stay in place and restrain their struggling. The tape is reusable, but it can be tricky to re-roll straight back onto the roll. It will flatten and smooth fairly well when reused.

Don’t worry about getting lube on the tape. Water and silicone lubes won’t harm it, and the tape can be wiped off with water to clean it.

You can bind just about anything with this tape, and get creative. You don’t have to just wrap it around your partner’s ankles – you can wrap their legs together up to the knees or thighs. You can even wrap their arms together to the elbows in certain positions, or their arms to their sides. The tape can be used to bind breasts to the body, and you can even make “clothes” like bra or skirt depending on how you wrap it. The tape can also be used to gag or blindfold your partner.

You should take some precautions when using Pleasure Tape. First and foremost, make sure you have a pair of scissors handy so the tape can be cut off if a quick release is necessary. Don’t bind so tightly that you cut off your partner’s circulation. While you can use the tape as a gag, never cover your partner’s mouth and nose together.

We had a lot of fun with this.  While we do have standard cuffs, this made for some very different and erotic experiences.  While I would have been content to cut it with scissors, my partner preferred using the tape dispenser.  I think he liked wrapping me up like a package.

 Pleasure Tape is fun and versatile, and will be a great staple in our toy box. Thank you to Babeland for sending me this product for free to review!
