DOMINIX Deluxe Heavy Leather Rotational Collar

I was so excited when my Dom said he would give me money towards a nice cuffs and collar set, and instantly knew I wanted the mostt, and let me tell you I was not disappointed.

I waited in for the post, excited knowing that this was arriving. I finally saw the postman walk up to the door, and flung it open and grabbed my package. I rushed my box upstairs and delved into the contents.

The collar was, as has been mentioned, not in any particularly noteworthy packaging, so what you're paying for is purely the collar itself. If you are buying this as a present it may be worth gift-wrapping as it truly deserves a nice box.

Looking and holding the collar you can feel it is a luxury expensive item. It does not look out of place with even the most expensive of bondage/dungeon gear. The leather is soft and it is well padded to ensure comfort for long wearing. In fact, I was told by my Dom that it was much too comfortable for a sub!

Putting it on is easy. It goes up to nice large sizes around the neck, allowing it to be loose or tight as you desire. At first the leather was a little stiff, but this goes away once it has been worn a few times, or if you heat it a bit with your hands to soften it up at first.

Once on, it is very thick. It is not the sort of thing that could be hidden or passed off as part of an outfit or the like. It is definitely a statement slave type collar. It isn't as thick as a posture collar, and does allow neck movement, however not as much as a small collar and wearing it you will be constantly aware of it's presence even though it is extremely comfortable. Make sure before you order that you look up the measurements of the thickness, and have a look at that compared to your neck if you are unsure of getting such a thick collar.

What I loved!

I loved the softness of the leather and the amount of padding that the collar has. The padding and thickness also makes it heavy, so you do not forget you are wearing it.

The connections and buckles are all really strong, so you do not have to worry about putting strain on the collar, and the padding means there is less strain on the neck in tight bondage situations. The rotational ring allows for long term bondage, so the person bound has freedom to move around a little but not move further than allowed, giving comfort for long-term bondage sessions.

The general look and design of this collar is amazing. It genuinely does look like something that belongs in a Gorean dungeon.

The metal clips that come with it are easy release and not stiff like some clips I have used in the past. Although most of the time we used these with our own chains and rope, as the clips are too easily undone by me when I am not supposed to be undoing them!

I have comfortably slept in this collar on plenty of occasions. Although those of you wishing to do this, make sure you take safety precautions, look into this properly before taking any risks. The comfortable padding meant that this collar did not affect me sleeping, which many collars can.

The comfortable soft leather means that if the collar is not put on too tightly it can be rotated around the neck without any uncomfortable friction.

What I disliked.

The rotational nature of the collar did mean that it jingles a tiny bit. This is just the front rotational ring moving as you walk, but some people may dislike this. By no means is it loud, but it is noticeable during heavy movement while wearing the collar.

When wearing this for extended periods of time during the day, I do occasionally wish it was a little slimmer, but overall refer the thicker look. You will have to decide whether you want to sacrifice the amazing thick look, for added comfort in some movements throughout the day (mostly those that involve tilting the head from side to side as the bottom of the collar will hit the shoulder at this point, making it difficult for full movement in this manner),

Overall:

I really really love this collar, it really is a beautiful piece of bondage equipment. As much as I had my 2 tiny dislikes about it, I would without doubt replace it if it was lost, without even considering another model.

Who I think it is best suited for:

People who love the look of heavy bondage.

People experienced in the lifestyle looking for a collar to be worn in bondage for long periods.

People who want the collar wearer to be kept aware of the collar whilst wearing it.

People who just want a well made, comfortable, nice looking collar.

Who might want to consider something else.

Anyone who wants to wear the collar without anyone noticing. (wont happen, is not possible as far as I am aware)

Anyone who may be intimidated by the large size and dungeon-esque look of the collar.

This heavy duty collar was sent to me for the purpose of an honest review, in exchange for receiving the item free of charge from Lovehoney. There is a more indepth version of this review as well as photographs at my blog site.

The collar looks like it's going to be exceptional quality from the picture, and I am pleased to report that this is borne out in reality.

The width of the collar is 2.25 inches: wider than a standard fetish collar but not quite as wide as a posture collar. The overlaying strip of leather features strong metal rivets and a buckle fastening, with a central metal plate and freely rotating hook. This is a novel alternative to the usual O or D rings you are used to finding on slave collars.

The DOMINIX Heavy Leather Rotational Collar also comes with a double ended trigger clip, which can be used to attach a leash, cuffs or any fetish gear you wish to the centre of the collar.

During use, this collar is comfortable, warms to body temperature quickly and is a sexy sensation factory for leather enthusiasts, those passionate about BDSM and fetish as well as people just starting out in control and power exchange, by way of bedroom bondage.

I would not hesitate to adorn my slave with this when out for fetish events, but it is also comfortable enough for all day use and wear, when in a 24/7 power exchange D/s relationship.

The price is high, but this is a reflection of the quality of the collar and the fact it will undoubtedly last through years of even heavy handling and use.

Highly recommended - I love it!
