Fetish Fantasy Series Japanese silk rope - suspension kit by Pipedream - review by Keeshia

Available in several colors, this rope is the best rope I've sampled in its price range. For just over ten dollars you get 35 feet of very soft, strong rope. I would recommend this for any beginner who is worried about comfort on their first bondage escapade. The rope has just enough give to it to respond well to tight knots and extended wear without ruining the original tension.

Care is very simple. Personally I use a small amount of liquid detergent or soap with warm water in a bucket/sink. Fill up the container with warm water and put some soap in your hands, then run your hands over the rope. Rinse thoroughly. If you want you can soak the rope in a bit of fabric softener and warm water for a few minutes. However you launder it be sure you get all the cleaning agent out or it will cause the rope to deteriorate.

I personally hated the silver taped ends, so I ripped them off. To keep the rope from fraying I simply tied the ends in a knot, which has worked very well and not impeded my ability to work with the rope. The tape does leave a silver residue on the rope if you simply pull off the tape though, which doesn't bother me, but you could cut off the tape bits to avoid this.

For color quality I was a little disappointed. I was hoping the color would be as vibrant as it is on the website/packaging, but my particular sample was a dull purple instead. I may rectify this with some dye (and if I do, it will be in the follow up review!).

The packaging was definitely not discrete and for some is probably quite on the raunchy side. It's just simple cardboard packaging so most will not be keeping it. The rope also comes with a free blindfold, which I haven't tried out and probably never will because I'm married to another one. ;)
