This BDSM Kit comes in a nice Package.
On the inside, all the items were packaged together in a mesh bag.
There’s a lot in this kit! I dumped it all out with glee, then set to spreading it out across the bed. Here’s the whole set.
I’m going to take these items one by one, talking about what it’s good for and what I think about it’s quality and use.
The kit comes with 4 fur-lined cuffs, two for wrists and two for ankles.
The wrist and ankle cuffs each come attached to their partner with a short, slender chain and small snap clip. This is helpful to keep from mixing up which is which. The ankle cuffs and slightly bigger than the wrist cuffs.
The cuffs are secure, moderately easy to put on, a bit stiff as to be expected for new cuffs. They are made of a thin leather, and the faux fur lining is pretty soft. It’s also a bit sheddy. When I tug on them, they seem like they’ll hold up pretty well.
This set of leather straps is designed to hold the wrist and ankle cuffs in a hogtie.
The clips are a simple lobster-claw push type, easy to put on. They clip easily to the d-rings on the cuffs, and if you’re flexible enough to get into a hogtie position, this will keep you there. The construction is sturdy.
Blindfolds are ubiquitous in bondage kits. This one is lined with a soft faux fur, like the cuffs.
When I put this on, I can’t see at all, which is just what you want in a blindfold. It’s got a simple elastic strap to hold it in place. The faux fur is a little warm against my face, and I’m not sure I’d love it for a long period of time, but it’s a decent blindfold.
Like everything else so far in this kit, the collar is lined with faux fur. It’s a tall collar, made of the same leather as the cuffs, with a D-ring in front.
A collar this wide keeps my head very upright, so I can’t bend my neck. I like that constricting sensation, but with all that faux fur, it’s intensely hot. I did not like the sensation of fur wrapped around my throat. Lots of people have fur-lined collars, but it’s not something I enjoy. That’s not a fault of the collar, just a preference.
The leash that comes with the kit is a simple leather-style leash. Nothing particularly fancy or noteworthy, but it will do what it needs to do.
The kit comes with a cotton rope about 30′ long. (I guessed. I didn’t measure.)
It’s a good, sturdy rope, perfect for most light bondage.
The ball gag has a thin leather strap with a plastic ball that has holes for easy breathing (and drooling).
I’m gonna be honest here: the ball gag is probably my least favorite part of this set. I just don’t feel good with the plastic ball in my mouth. I have multiple ball gags, and they are all either silicone or rubber. With plastic, I’m very much afraid that I’m going to bite hard and snap it. I don’t know the strength of the ball. I’m too worried to test it. It’s probably fine, but I don’t enjoy it.
The kit comes with two (of course) nipple clamps with bells.
They’re adjustable alligator-style clamps, but the curved kind that only pinch at the end, rather than the flat kind that pinch along their length. This makes them a bit milder than other types of clamps. This is a great type of nipple clamp for beginners, easy to use and adjustable.
This feather tickler is on a short stick with a handle.
It’s small, it’s cute, and it goes nicely with the rest of the kit’s aesthetic. It has a tendency to shed a bit on my white comforter.
The final item in the kit is a leather flogger.
It’s got a handful of falls — the straps that you hit someone with — and those falls are fairly thin. The handle itself is short, which keeps you from getting a lot of momentum into your swing. It’s actually not a bad thing to have less momentum: if you’ve got a sparse number of thin falls, like this flogger does, your impact is going to be wicked stingy. This is a sharp, stingy flogger rather than a thuddy one. That’s okay: stingy vs. thuddy is a personal preference.
Rather than doing cheers and caveats, as I usually do here, I’m going to give my overall thoughts about the kit. It seems to make more sense.
Overall, this is a great beginner’s BDSM kit. It’s perfectly suited for people who think they might want to try bondage and sensation play but don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on expensive products. It’s also got a nice diversity of items, so you can try several different types of sensations without buying everything individually.
The marketing for this kit calls it suitable for beginners or extreme kinksters, and that just isn’t true. Anyone who’s done any extensive BDSM play is going to find the quality of the items a bit sub-par. Don’t get me wrong; for the price point (only $22), this is excellent. But it’s not an advanced kit. It’s a wonderful place to start, and if you think you might want to give kink a try, I recommend it.
