Lovehoney Tease Me Luxury Bondage Kit

We got this wonderful, wonderful kit when we bought the We Vibe (which turned out to be a horror story for us) last December. But no wound caused by the immense disappointment when the We Vibe failed us (it was our first really big couple gift to ourselves) could last long... not with this kit around!

We are so thankful to Lovehoney for making it possible (and making it easy for us to keep it - you guys ROCK! <3). There's everything to love here, seriously, and I'm going to take time and explain precisely why.

The only thing it might not do is please a really hard-core BDSM person. But for couples starting out, or for couples with specific tastes (we prefer mild to medium, though we have used swords and similar items in our play for fetish purposes), this is just... is there a word that means more than perfect? If not, I just might have to think of one.

The entire kit is made of this silky soft, devilishly smooth, charming material, which does not hurt my skin while staying in place all the time. The one down side I could find if really pressed is that after all this time, the wire in the mask is becoming slightly uncomfortable, so I might have to find a way to gut it, lol, gently, and use it without (kinda like what you'd do to a bra if the wire was uncomfortable).

One caution to allergy sufferers - if I recall correctly, the rings contain nickel. But that's it.

For being so utterly soft, this kit it amazingly sturdy. It consists of four long restraints for arms and legs (or, for that matter, for ankles, thighs and for connecting with the wrist restraints :) ), the wrist restraints, a flogger and the eye mask.

The flogger shouldn't really be our thing, since neither of us likes the idea of being hit, but this too has been a big, well, hit with us. :)

It can be used as a tease toy instead of a flogger (kind of like a tickler, or in combination with one), and my partner has taken to loving being mildly hit just for the effect (the flogger is leather for most part) and tickled with the Lovehoney tickler.

I know some reviews criticise the mask. For me, there was no problem with being blindfolded well (tip - it might fully depend on the shape of your face how well that goes... the bridge of your nose especially), but even if not... there's nothing sexier than getting just a little glimpse of your lover in a darkened room doing sexy things to you. :)

If you have any fears about the ties not being loosened fast enough - don't. These are very very easy to operate, and I can definitely say that you can get out fast (in our case, one was a case of a freaked out cat getting at another cat and the other was due to a horrible leg cramp). The wrist restraints are gorgeous, and before we bought the other restraints I've reviewed, they were pretty much our favourite and our bondage staple. There is something so utterly wonderful about being at the mercy of the one you love and trust, AND bound with what is pretty much a huge bow... maybe I'm girly, lol, but I do so love it.

I don't know what we'd do without this kit in our lives. It would definitely be a lot more tame in the bedroom, and a lot more boring!

Mr. B and I received this as a free gift with a purchase. We had never tried bondage before, so we were excited to try. They arrived individually packaged in nice packaging. We were not disappointed!

They are very smooth and silky. They feel great against your skin. The black and purple colours are gorgeous.

The Blackout Blindfold is very soft and luxurious, is comfortable and of course gorgeous! It fits Mr. B and I both very well even with our size difference. With the wire, you can form it around your nose so you cannot see underneath either which is nice and helps keep up the suspense...

The 4 Restraint Ties: These are made of the same gorgeous and soft material with a D-ring set. It is easy to operate and to undo when you're done (even for newbies like us). They were very comfortable and I suppose they could be comfortable long-term. We used them for a good 45 minutes with no discomfort. They could also be used as ankle and wrist restraints.

Wrist Restraints: These are nice and long. They are made with the same gorgeous material.They worked well on ankles and wrists. They were easy to tie and untie. They were very comfortable and we used them with no discomfort.

Satin and Leather Flogger Whip: Made with the same luxurious material and small strips of soft leather. We were a little nervous about this, as we have never tried whips before, but to our surprise the leather was very soft on our skin. It worked great for tickling and whipping. Even with a good swing, this whip does not hurt but is very enjoyable!

Mrs B's perspective: This was an enjoyable surprise and added a little extra kink to our sex lives. It was such a turn on to take and give control! It was very enjoyable. I would recommend this set to any bondage newbie as they are much less intimidating than others I have seen. Worth every penny.

Mr B's perspective: This was the first time we tried bondage and it was very enjoyable. It was amazing to take control and then to give up control! It added some nice excitement.

Me and my OH received this kit as a freebie when we purchased another item, and we were over the moon, because we are both heavily involved with BDSM and bondage. So, we were very excited to receive this produce with our order.

The products came in LH's usual packaging - a brown box with "LH trading" printed on the delivery label. The packaging of the actual items of the LH Tease Me Beginner's Bondage Kit featured photos of each of the individual products in the kit, on each of their individual boxes. The items themselves, were enclosed in plastic bags, within these boxes.

The quality of this product is very high. The feel of the restraints is as smooth as silk, and the colour is gorgeous! I love the fact that this kit comes with a blindfold and a flogger, which are both perfect if you want to engage in a little bit of sensory play with your submissive! I know I love it when my boyfriend blindfolds me and runs the flogger down the length of my body.

Overall, this product is an amazing starting point for people who are interested in the concept of BDSM and would like to try it for the first time. It is also great for more experienced couples who regularly engage in bondage play as it makes a nice change from chains and rope on some occasions!

If you're considering buying this product - do!

My partner and I got this kit as a gift with the We-Vibe, which was a lovely add-on and thrilled us both to bits!

Our order arrived quicker than we expected (we're not in UK at the moment, so that was even more surprising!) and was perfectly nondescript as all Lovehoney's packages are (the cats loved the box).

The kit itself is packaged in four different cardboard envelopes, which show glossy pictures of the respective items - the different items can be bought individually, hence the separate packaging. Each item is within a plastic bag within its envelope.

Here's my only real point of complaint - I'd strongly suggest that the kit should come with one of Lovehoney's beautiful large satin storage bags (one bag fits everything perfectly) as it isn't practical to keep the kit in the envelopes or their plastic bags, but that's a small thing and easily fixed - just remember to add the bag to your order and problem solved (and it's cheap enough!).

Now the kit - it's made up of four sets of items, all of which are in the beautiful Lovehoney purple with lovely black contrasts (these colours are amazingly gorgeous!).

The Blackout Blindfold is very soft, quite comfortable (unless you've got a sensitive neck or head - any tied knot that you would be resting your head on can be uncomfortable if you're sensitive - but that's a question of knowing your body, not the blindfold's fault), and very pretty.

The section for the face has a little bit of wire in the curved black section to help shape it - this can be uncomfortable if the wire gets out of shape too much, but my partner reckoned that she would just remove the wire like you would remove the underwiring in a bra.

Other than that detail, it works well - it's not possible to see through unless you look down your nose, which applies to just about any blindfolds, and frankly said, your eyes should be closed, because it's never really comfortable to have any fabric covering your open eyes, not to mention counter-intuitive to not close them. Bottom line - it works great!

The Satin and Leather Flogger looks lovely, feels nice and suede-like, and can be used as a tool for caressing or for hitting (whichever you fancy more). I don't mind either generally, but my partner prefers the caressing only, and this is a perfect little toy for more gentle bondage games. If you want pain, this won't really do it, though it might deliver more of a sting than you'd expect from something so cute!

The Satin Wrist Restraint is silky and soft and works perfectly for tying up the wrists (as one would expect). They are quite comfortable, but can be tied nice and firmly if you want to really limit movement.

The satin fabric will loosen a little unless you tie a very tight knot, but that is normal for the fabric type and if you want restraints that won't loosen at all, you will want to look at the other bondage items. It's perfect though, if all you want is to just lightly restrain and direct how your partner keeps their hands (or ankles - we haven't tried that option yet, but mmmm...).

The Restraint Position Ties involve a very straightforward D-ring set with the satin cloth, which is easy to operate and to undo when you're done. It's a very good system for anyone who doesn't want to have to take a long time to do up and undo their partner's bondage, whether due to time constraints or to concerns about being discreet.

You also can use them anywhere very easily. They are quite comfortable and the D-ring isn't in any way a problem to sensitive skin (unless you have a nickel allergy - the product description forgets to mention that!).

My partner and I have been mainly using them to tie my partner in various positions - they work great as wrist to thigh restraints or as ankle to wrist restraints. It's utterly down to your imagination.

As a whole, the kit is great - a definite basic in your bondage kit, because each item is so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. If you aren't sure about bondage and want to start simple, this is a good kit to start with and I don't think that we'll ever be retiring this kit even if we get more bondage items as there's always new options of how to use it and how to mix and match the items.

We bought this kit a few months ago, purely because we were in a purple mood. The price was good, there was a good selection of products, and as a LH own brand kit we expected them to be good quality.

Our order arrived discreetly and swiftly and when we unpacked this Tease Me Bondage kit, we weren’t disappointed! The set has more or less everything you need less a paddle. Whenever I’ve been a particularly good girl, it comes out. As soon as I see the flash of purple satin, I know I’m in for a gentle treat, unlike when the leather lockables come out - then I know I’m in for some serious punishment!

The blindfold is gentle on your face and so far we haven’t had any hair tangles or slip offs during use, though the OH does prefer buckle fasteners. I do find a bit of light comes through when in use, but I’ve met very few blindfolds that actually block out all light (though I have bought one recently that does the job perfectly).

We use the flogger quite heavily and it’s still full-bodied and sturdy. The sting it gives is really sharp and, while the redness it causes fades pretty fast, it’s still decent enough to produce a nice colour when used right. The OH says it feels very small in his hand, but then he has man’s hands. On the rare occasion I’m instructed to use it on him, it feels just the right size for me.

The wrist restraint is my least favourite item of the set, but I’m not a lover of this style anyway. The OH seems to like it though so we do use it. He does like to tie my hands behind my back and bring me to my knees to give him oral so this is how we use it. It doesn’t chafe or dig in when I move and this is a must during soft play.

The position ties are lovely and smooth against the skin and, while we don’t have headboards or posts, they work a treat for confining a body to the bedroom chair (or banister). They can be left in place for a good long while and don’t cause any discomfort unless that’s what you want from them, but like I said, this is our TLC kit. We have used them to strap my arms to my sides and my legs together and they work well for this too.

All in all, a really great set for lighter than light bondage during lovemaking that’s worth every penny. If you decide to treat yourself to this, I would recommend you get the LH Tease Me Satin and Leather Spanking Paddle, just to complete the set.
