A Safari in my Bedroom
This throe is an absolutely brilliant idea, and does what it is supposed to; it keeps your bed (couch? loveseat?) nice and dry, no matter what kind of sex you have. Plus, it's quite fashionable. Only problem? Keeping the throe on the bed, and yourself on the throe!Published: September 7, 2008
Pros:
Adorable pattern, brilliant concept, feels delightful.
Cons:
Slides away, makes occasional squeaking noise.
I have a semi-fetish. It's not quite a full-fledged fetish, I don't *need" it to get off. But let's be honest here; I have a thing for animal prints. Especially leopard print, zebra print and tiger print. So as soon as I saw that Liberator was now making their Fascinator Throe in a safari print, I craved it. I wanted it.
Basically, this throe is genius. One side is soft and fuzzy (in this case, safari print), and the other side is black satin. In between these two decadent fabrics is a waterproof layer. Stop, let that though sink in. There you go. This is so much more than a blanket! It's ideal for pretty much any kind of play - it prevents lube, fluids, food, ejaculatory fluid (from all genders), wax, ice cream, etc., from staining your sheets. Genius!
The first time I tried this, I asked my partner which side she would prefer up - she chose the fuzzy side. I tied her up on top of it, fucked the hell out of her, and it worked perfectly. Even though I spent some time melting ice cubes all over her body, none on the frigid water seeped onto my sheets. Perfect. But as soon as I un-tied her, she flipped me, and fucked me until I couldn't see straight. However, as soon as I regained my vision, I looked around, and asked her where the throe had gone. She told me that as soon as I had started to writhe around, it slipped off the bed.
Hmph. That was no help. While I love bondage, sex doesn't ALWAYS involved being tied up ... I went to the expert. I asked AAG what she did with her throe. Silly me - she told me you had to have the satin side up, or it would defeat the purpose. Sad. I liked lying on the fuzzy side - the soft fabric caressing my skin. Plus, if the satin side slipped off the bed, what was going to keep US from slipping off the satin side?
But I was a brave little reviewer. I gave it a go. We put the black side up, and she didn't slip while I poured hot wax on her back. She didn't slip while I tied her up and went down on her over and over. She didn't slip as she regained her breath. In fact, it stayed pretty well until she had her hand inside me, and I was bucking up against her, and the throe migrated out from under us somewhere to the side of the bed.
Overall, I loved it. The waterproof part worked perfectly, it's machine washable, it's beautiful and styling, it satisfies my animal print love, and when it stayed in place, it kept my bed nice and dry ... the only problem was when it got away from us.
As a side note, it also (fuzzy side in) can make a really nice aftercare blanket.

Does this hold up good in the wash?

It's held up fine all the times I've thrown it threw the wash.

We have had ours two years with multiple washes and still looks like it did when we got it. Good quality.

Thank you for viewing Liberator safari throe – sex toy for couples review page!
Hot wax dried on that and washed off no problem? That is impressive. What's it made of, does a tag say anywhere? Does it claim to be inflammable?
Nice concept & glad it worked well for you! Just be careful not to hurt yourself on it!! ;-)
This is the one thing my husband and I have wanted above all else here. It sounds absolutely fantastic.
Ooohh! I want it! If only to lay on it and say, "Meeooowww!" =P
Yummmy!
CW - It was a soy massage candle, so a little different. But yes! Materials = satin, nylon (middle) and microfiber (like my couch - everything comes off!). I am not sure about inflammable...I wouldn't have placed candles on it though.
Bill - I will try ;)
SD - DO IT!
Oggins - you're too cute!
DBD - Indeed!
I'm giggling my ass off over the idea of the Throe migrating. Yeah, it does get away from you, but if you can manage to stay on, it's fabulous.
Glad you finally got to try it out!
I tried it your way, and it worked :)!
Lol I'm like you with the bucking and moving and things ending up in the weirdest places after. I read a few other reviews and it seems you can have either side up it's just that the fuzzy side is best kept down to grip. I wanted to lounge in the animal print!!
You said it squeaks? How so?
I think it's the waterproof part in the middle that squeaks.
I was in love with the idea when I saw the purple one, but now that there's a safari print - how can you resist! I have to get one!
Oh, I love the animal print!! I saw a purple throe, but once I stumbled upon this my first thought was "mine!" Who doesn't love animal print? It's so pretty. Plus, I'm sure it could pass as a blanket, right?
I'm so happy this is machine washable, otherwise I'd be looking for another throe.
I look forward to the day when I get to own this beauty!
good review!
Aw, I love the idea for using it as an aftercare blanket. Awesome review.

Great review!! I can't wait to get this!
Great review, thanks!
