Shhh - sex toy by Bijoux Indiscrets - review by Bulma

I was disappointed during my first use of this satin blindfold. I used it traditionally. Just put it on and tied a knot with a bow at the back of my head. During that use, I could see some light and it didn’t fit as well around my nose as I wanted it to. Also it only took a few minutes of use before the slippery material loosened and it was falling down my face. I had high hopes for this blind fold. I had hoped that its design would lend it to be functional but still incredibly sensual. I finally got tired of adjusting and repositioning it and just gave up for the night.

I now love this blind fold after doing some experimenting with it. This thing is just shy of 7 feet long! What that meant was that I was able to put it on and wrap it back around the front over my eyes and have enough length left to tie it behind my head. This might not be as sensual, but it is unbeatable in its functionality. It stayed put with two regular knots, and remained comfortable during a two hour play session. Wearing it like this, I was unable to see anything. Even during the day, it creates a perfect black out.

I might not have been thrilled with this blind fold on my first use, but the more I use it the more I realize just how great it is. It may help if I was better at tying knots. I do really love now that I can wear this normal for really light sensual play or I can wrap it around again and have complete sight sensory deprivation.

On one side of the blindfold it has “Oooooh” in red embroidery and “Shhhh” on the other side in white. I don’t know how many of you are fanatical about matching accessories up, but for me I really love this. The white lettering goes lovely with my white and black Jaguar cuffs and other bdsm gear, while the red lettering seems a little more sensual for when we are only doing seductive tickling and teasing. I also would like to point out that this works great for gentle wrist or ankle restraints. The satin is silky smooth on skin, and doesn’t seem to be showing any wear. I have found a double knot to be adequate, but I’m sure a knot aficionado could find a knot better suited for this kind of play.

I have not had the misfortune of getting this dirty yet, so I have not washed it. I imagine it would be fine in the gentle cycle along with your other intimate clothing. The quality appears to be good, so I can’t imagine this falling apart in the wash.

I would recommend this blindfold to people just starting out with sensory deprivation play and more advanced players as well. This toy really is quite versatile once you get used to it.
