Bondage Boutique Chain Lead with Leather Handle

The chain is an excellent length and a good weight for draping across the body.

The handle is very sturdy. In fact we used this with a collar from another site and ring on the collar broke off!

But we were able to clip the chain directly to the collar and carry on.

We used the chain with the leg separators and some other basic bondage like a ball gag and blindfold and it made for an excellent night.

We would highly recommend this chain, but make sure that you choose a quality collar!

Being a member of Lovehoney has led to me trying multiple things I'd always said no to, from glass and metal to bondage candles and pinwheels. One of the things at the top of my no list had been a collar and lead, but all of a sudden I felt the urge to try one out. I'm not sure if it's because I've become more open-minded through Lovehoney but I decided I was no longer afraid or confused about this aspect of bondage and decided to purchase this lead and a collar to match.

Upon removing the lead from the packaging, I noticed the materials were of a high standard and the build quality looked good. I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't pick up on the raw leather scent like I could with the collar, but it did appear to be well-stitched and the leather was smooth and sturdy, so I have no complaints. The chain was not as heavy as I expected it to be, but it still had a fair amount of weight to it. It felt extremely durable and no amount of tugging was going to detach it from the handle.

The handle of this lead is rather wide, which makes it extremely comfortable to wear around the wrist and avoids any restriction of movement or awkward positioning when trying to tug on the chain. It could easily fit my-sized wrist in three times without feeling tight and pinching against the skin. It's attached to a super long chain, which is helpful as this makes more positions and uses accessible. The chain can stretch out to almost the full length of our double bed, which makes it great for a variety of different types of play.

I started out by using this lead with a loose Velcro collar, as this was more adjustable than the matching leather collar that I had purchased and I wanted a little time to adjust to the weight of the chain. My partner attached the clasp to the O-ring and pulled me up onto his lap for a spanking session. Every time my body jerked in response to his action with the paddle, he tugged on the chain to bring me back to the position he wanted me to be in. I found it really enjoyable and it made the session all the more exciting, especially when he varied how hard he pulled on it.

The next time we used this lead, I asked him to use the matching leather collar as I felt ready to step up the intensity a little bit. I could feel the tugging more harshly with the collar being tighter, but I enjoyed it, despite being nervous to begin with. It was particularly great during sex as I could be pushed back against him at his pace, letting him be in full control. I'm generally more dominant during sex, and him during bondage acts, but with the help of a collar and lead set I can enjoy being dominated during penetration, which is something we have both enjoyed.

Overall, I think this is a great piece of kit and it's a fantastic addition to our collection. I'm really glad we took the risk and tried something new because we actually really enjoyed ourselves. It's fantastically made and the long chain has left us with our thinking caps on for some more creative ways to use this in the future.

This lead is a must for anyone who owns ankle or wrist cuffs, and/or a collar with a D-ring to attach to other restraints for BDSM play.

The heavy leather hand hold is of quality leather, with stiched edge detail, and riveted through for strength. The chain is of a medium weight with a nice shine. The links are not welded, but don't let this make you think it's not strong, I wouldn't like to think anyone would pull me enough to break it. The end clip is of a matching size for the chain, also with the same nice bright finish.

Used with cuffs, and/or a collar to make sure your pet or slave is kept close by at all times and put into place if needs be (pets and slaves do get unruly sometimes, well, I do). If you pass the chain through the D-rings on both wrist cuffs before clipping to the collar, both hands of your slave are brought up to the side of their neck when you rein them in (good for very naughty slaves, well where's the fun for either if your slave is too good). The strap handle comes in handy to administer swift corrective slaps to your slave's bum until more suitable punishment can be arranged.

The chain can be put in the freezer for a minute or two to use in temperature play on your slave before you get them in chained from their bed, just so they know who's boss, and to get them warmed up and anticipating what may be to come. Do they shiver in fear or with excitement? I tend to get a bit over excited when it's walkies time, and if I'm good I even get to hold my own lead in my mouth, wuff.

Maybe not something for total beginners but as soon as you get the lead in your mouth, it's all good fun; and you just may find yourself fancying a bit gag for some horsing around.
