Fetish Fantasy Series Inflatable position master by Pipedream - review by Sir

Pipedream's Position Master is a blow-up pillow in the shape of a wedge that has handles for ease of holding or tying. It can make positions like doggie style, missionary, and variations on a handful of others more comfortable, more pleasurable, and even a bit more interesting. Its handles allow the "kinky" among us to tie or cuff their partner's ankles or wrists in one place during sex.

Remember that this is a blow-up pillow, so if you have problems with breathing or get tired easily, hand it over to your partner and allow them to blow it up for you. If you have a foot pump for an inflatable bed, that would work well too.

The position pillow is a wedge-shape, like other designs made by Liberator, Doc Johnson, and other sex furniture companies. This one, however, blows up and has handles on its sides. Its velvety material is an onyx color which should go well with most rooms, regardless of style (though it would stick out extraordinarily in a light-toned room). It fits perfectly in my room, because much of the furniture is black or chocolate colored wood.

It's a very big position aid (average-sized for a bed pillow, though), with dimensions of 22" by 16" by 8 (eight inches is the widest point of the wedge). All of the edges of the pillow are rounded for maximum comfort, and the seams on the side do not scratch the body in any way as they are very minimal. The handles on the side are each 6" across, and have a space of 1 1/4" from the body of the pillow (meaning that there is about that much space for your hand to fit through, if holding onto them).

D-rings, clamps, or ties can be attached to the handles for restraining a partner.

The Position Master comes with a plain little nylon blindfold. It surprisingly works very well—it's soft, comfortable, blocks out light because it's made of two layers, and should fit a wide variety of heads due to its elastic band. It's not the sort of thing that will necessarily last forever, but if taken good care of, would be sufficient to use for play every now and then.

Though the velvety material is a bit scratchy, it was fairly comfortable both for resting the back and resting the body on, bare. The handles were able to both be held on when she needed something to clench onto or when I wanted to tie her wrists or ankles to it and keep them restrained. My LELO Etherea cuffs worked great for this, especially because the softness matches the softness of the Position Master.

It certainly is a comfortable blow-up pillow, and it does work well for a number of positions. Though doggie style is certainly one of our favorites, missionary with her legs over my shoulders and her back resting on the pillow is very, very nice too—hits those special spots just right. Sadly, the Position Master does lose air pretty easily, so it will need to be blown up a bit (with a few puffs of air) fairly often or before each use. If you keep it deflated, you will need to blow it up whenever using it.

And even when it's not being used for kink, sex, or other "dirty" little escapades, it's a great pillow for resting a laptop on or using while reading in bed or on the couch.

Though not very discreet, the packaging that the Position Master comes in is both recyclable and reusable. Since it does have pictures of a couple doing multiple positions, I have opted to recycle mine as opposed to keep it for storage. Included in the packaging is a set of repair materials, so if your Position Master becomes punctured, you can fix it easily and not have to buy another (comes with vinyl cement). The packaging does not have any very useful information, other than the fact that it can hold up to 300 lbs.

For storing the Position Master, I recommend squeezing all of the air out, folding it up, and putting it away in a closet or on a shelf (under a bed works, too). It can also be used regularly as a piece of furniture in the bedroom, or a pillow on either a chair or bed to keep from having to put it away and blow it up constantly.

Cleaning is a bit difficult, but possible. You can either get the lint and dust off of it with a lint roller, wash it off with a mild soap and warm washcloth, or just occasionally wash it in the sink (do not put it in the washing machine, at all). It's not the sort of thing that needs to be cleaned often, except for the occasional lubricant or bodily fluid.
