A functional blindfold, better than a sleep mask.
This is a great addition to a basic toybag, good for keeping your lover in suspense of your next move, just don't keep it on too long.Published: January 21, 2011
Pros:
Functional, inexpensive, and soft
Cons:
Not really adjustable & compresses the eyes
Plushy gear lovers eye mask is an okay blindfold, and for the price it's a good deal. The blindfold is soft but doesn't seem to have a lot of fuzz or pilling. Its fitted design does block all sight, keeping you in the dark both literally and figuratively. It fits much better than those sleep masks you can get at the drugstore. However it is not terribly adjustable as it claims to be, it simply has an elastic band, so depending on your head size it may be too tight or too loose and there's not much you can do to remedy that, short of sewing the elastic tighter or adding more.
The plushy gear lovers eye mask presses against the eyes in a way that the more formed, solid blindfolds do, and if you are sensitive to eye pressure this could be a major issue. For short term use, maybe ten or fifteen minutes depending on how sensitive you are, the pressure is not extreme and shouldn't be a huge problem. For keeping someone in a state of sensory deprivation or bondage any longer, this is not your blindfold unless their eyes are not bothered by pressure.
The material its made of is not irritating and even on a girl with rather sensitive skin it caused no reactions. Its machine washable so that's a plus, I haven't washed mine yet to see how it holds up yet as it also wipes off and well, being a blindfold it just doesn't get all that dirty. It's inexpensive enough to throw in your toybag for when a little sensory deprivation is just the thing.
I think if your intent is occasional foreplay use this is a good, and certainly affordable blindfold but if your looking for some thing to be left on for a bit, or used during rougher play a blindfold with an actual adjustable strap and more formed mask would be worth the investment.

Experience
I used this blindfold with my girlfriend. I laid her down naked and blindfolded and then ran various things over her body. Things like ice, feathers, a string of beads, and a sharp knife made her shiver with delight and struggle to guess what they were. Temperature and texture become amplified when you can't see and her anticipation at what would be next was delicious.
Follow-up commentary
12 months after original review
While this is still a pretty simple little mask, it has proven useful and whats more, durable. Even in the toy bag loose, yet still no tears, and the elastic is holding up very well. I still find it compresses the eyes, but after a wash or two it's not so tight that it causes discomfort. Very little pilling, which was surprising for the plushness of the material. I still prefer a pair of blacked out goggles, but I like this as a back up blindfold and plan on keeping it in the toy bag for some time yet.

Afraid of the dark?

What if someone is afraid of the dark, but likes BDSM with blindfold play?

Quote: What if someone is afraid of the dark, but likes BDSM with blindfold play?Lol, I'm not even sure how that would work. Are you on crack?

Then you have someone who's afraid of the dark but enjoys sensory depravation. If the blindfold itself is causing a problem, use a lighter colored, light fabric blindfold that will let light through but still prohibit sight.

Thanks for the review!
Sorry you had a prob with this. it fit me nicely.
it was just a bit to tight and put weird pressure on the eyes, but not terrible
Great review!
I wonder if this would fit because they are usually huge on me.
Thanks for the review.
Hmmm...Maybe I won't get this then. Thanks for the review!
