Vixxytoi's review of Bondage Boutique Tie & Tease Bundle

Loving the kink!

Reviewed: 15 Sep 2011 by Vixxytoi

Me and my boyfriend had been dabbling in the light S & M scene for a while now, using scarves to tie to the bed, buying handcuffs from a different adult shop to try them... even using my wide paddle hairbrush as a spank paddle (LOL).

We'd been meaning to buy some of the items in this kit for quite a while. Needless to say, when I saw this kit on Lovehoney for only £40, I had to get it! Obviously, I had to ask permission, being the sub and all...

After ordering, it came the very next day which was awesome! We ripped it open and couldn't wait to try everything out. It's been just over a week now and I think I've thoroughly worked each item!

Okay first, the shibari rope. First impressions were that it's very soft, and very, very strong. Which surprised me, really, as it was quite thin. As of yet... No rope burns!

Another item that surprised me were the wrist restraints. Despite their appearance, they can withstand a lot of struggle. This is good as the aforementioned handcuffs from another site broke the first time I used them, weak links. So these are absolutely great. Also, like the rope, no marks are left with these. I guess the wideness of the material evens the force over your wrist.

The spank paddle! Amazing, amazing, I love it. My favourite item of the bunch. I'm so glad I got it! And with the Bondage Boutique loyalty card, I'm hoping to rack up 15 more stickers so I can get two more free ones. This paddle leaves some lovely marks, believe you me.

Hmm... the blindfold. Don't really think much of it, to be fair. I mean, it serves its purpose, I blindfolded the boyfriend and teased him with the feather wand thing. My only fault is that, being faux fur on the outside and whatever it is on the inside, it gets kind of warm underneath. Not too much of a problem though when all of you is hot.

The flogger is pretty sound, it's good for teasing with light hits anywhere on the body (especially nipples!). But if you're looking for a Cat o' Nine Tails effect with this, like harsh marks and pain and la di da, this isn't the one for you. Even with a full swing, this doesn't do a whole lot. (Yes we tested each to their limits.)

I could probably have done without the feather tickler, having already bought one for a maid costume a while ago, but I shall review this one anyway! First impression was that it was a little cheap. When I took it out of the bag, some of the feathers stayed in the bag. Also, when 'testing' a few more of the feathers came off. I mean, it's pretty with the purple and white stick, and when blindfolded, the sensations are, well, sensational! So it is quite good, still!

Last, but certainly not least, the ball gag. Now, I've wondered about these things for a while, and wasn't too sure about whether I wanted to go this far into the dark side of S & M. But I'm glad I tried it anyway! This is a good way of enforcing power over your sub, if that's what you're into. I like the way it fastens at the back like a collar, it's very strong. The little holes throughout it are good too if you have a blocked nose, lol. Which I actually did. Two issues with it though are, funnily enough, the holes in the ball and the straps. Sometimes, if you take a deep breath in, the ball sort of whistles? Which is a little off putting and kills the mood only slightly. And the straps around the ball sort of pinch a little at the corner of your mouth, but only really if the strap at the back slips down your head. Overall, love it :D
