Tease by Lovehoney Silky Restraints (4 Pack)

We were lucky to be picked to test these restraints as a secret test. Thanks Lovehoney as always.

So to the packaging, as these are a secret tester product we guess the actual packaging may be updated when they are released as the ties come in a clear polythene bag. The 4 restraints are kept together by a little metal chain which has a Lovehoney tag attached. To be honest we don't think they need any flash packaging as it is nice and simple just like the set.

As the name implies these are really silky and nice and soft to touch, so little risk of leaving any marks unless you go overboard when you restrain your other half. What is a great feature is the length, these are a really good length so you are not limited as to how you want to use these.

What we also liked is that unlike other restraint sets we own that blatantly look like a restraint set, you could leave the 4 restraints draped over a chair, end of the bed etc and know one would notice what their intended use is.

These would also be great for travelling as well, simply pop them in your bag and hey presto... let the fun begin when you arrive at your destination.

We also liked the simple approach with these... simply attach the restraints to your OH and to the bed, chair etc and you are ready to have fun.

So all in all a good simple restraint set.

Bondage doesn't have to be scary, and if you're new to bondage then these are a great start.

The packaging is clean, simple, attractive and to the point. There are no pornographic images here, thank goodness. I hate that. The packaging is such that it will easily fit through your letterbox.

The 4 ties in this pack are are soft, smooth, sexy and above all comfortable! They are just the right width to not dig in, and just the right length to do many different ties.

Here are a couple we tried, but the possibilities are endless.

1. Spread-eagle. Simple position with each limb going to the corner posts of our bed. Great for beginners and these restraints and do this easily.

2 Strappado. This only requires 3 ties with your partner standing and hands behind their back. Tie the wrists together. Next, bound the arms slightly higher up, around the elbow region.

Finally use the third tie and attach one end of it to the restraint bounding the wrists. Now you have control over your partner, you lift the third tie in the air. It will pull your partner's arms up and force them to bend over. I have a small hook attached to a ceiling beam and was able to tie my partner in this bent over position, but improvise. I’m sure most people could find something. You can imagine what happens next.

The 4th restraint could be used as a blindfold if you want to make full use of them.

To summarise, great item should be in everyone’s collection. All that is required is a good imagination.

We have got some FSOG restraints and we have Mr. Grey's tie. But we wanted something that a little different and to try something new. So we saw these and wanted to give them a go.

So when our parcel came in a discreet brown box from Lovehoney we couldn't wait to have a look at them in true form. Inside the box (which had other items in) we found the silky restraints inside a clear see-through vacuum sealed plastic bag. Just from looking at them through the bad we could tell that they were silky. They match the satin effect side of the Lovehoney blindfold. This was something that piqued our interest as we knew that having them on together they would match perfectly.

I slid the restraints out of the bag and had a good look at them. They were in fact very silky and a really vibrant red. The one plus to them being silky is the fact that when they are tied to any body part they don't cut or dig into the skin and feel so comfortable. These restraints are really long, which is bonus so they can be attached to mostly everything. There is one end that has a loop and the other end is cut at an angle. The end with the loop is really thought out if you want to put the restraints together.

There are a number of things that could be done with the restraints. One of the things we tried was tying one of the restraints to the wrists, then leaving a little material with the loop free tying the ankles together, then also leaving a little material with the loop to then tie the two together so that we were completely exposed and waiting for the other.

Another way we tried using these restraints was putting my hands behind my back and having my wrists bound together with the silky restraints. I love these restraints as they make me feel like my partner is in control as I cannot move when I have these on. They really get my blood pumping and make me really excited. It is something every couple should try in the bedroom as things get much more heated and make for some real love making!

Everything about these restraints is fabulous and in my opinion no matter how you want to use them they will bring some excitement to play time. They tick all of the correct boxes and even more for us and I know that we will be using these restraints quite a lot.

Having the restraints on and then adding a blindfold to the mix is really intoxicating as this then brings out the sensations from the blindfold, and then not being able to wriggle or move under your partner's loving torture. This is something we both found really enjoyable and this got us really turned on.

The only thing we had a problem with was, when we were just using them to tie to either wrists or ankles, the restraints are so long you really need to tie a huge bow in them. But this is really a slight niggle and nothing that we couldn't ignore.
