Fascinator posh throe - throw by Liberator - review by FVWhitechapel

The Fascinator Throe by Liberator is the perfect addition to anyone's bedroom repertoire. When things get wet (and come on, how often do they not?) There's nothing like this spread of delicious fabric to soak everything up. Whether you're going about it alone or having a sloppy session with your partner, spreading this luxe blankie out beneath you takes your lovemaking to a whole new level.

It's billed to sop up, and trust me, it will do just that. Whether it's on your bed, on your floor, on your sofa or anywhere else you could dream up to fuck upon, the Throe will protect your surfaces in lush, gorgeous, waterproof style.

From oily massage sessions to full out sexing, the easily laundered Throe has your back (sometimes literally!) Toss it in the washer ten minutes before that visit from your mom and you never have to worry about explaining the awkward wet spot on the couch (or hiding it under a conspicuously placed toss pillow.)

The Throe is roughly two yards of sumptuous microfiber short-nap fur, backed with slick, soft satin, and all of the above is 100% abuse-taking polyester. It spreads out and covers well and away enough room to get busy on, even for two plus-sized people like myself and my husband! I've read a few reviews that claim the barrier material does not crinkle, but I beg to differ. Mine sounds like a tarp is inside, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was exactly what was in there. It's not too distracting during sex, however, and as long as it's stationary (tossed over a chair, for example, where I keep mine,) no one has to know it ISN'T a blanket. (...Unless they sit on it.)

I washed mine as soon as it came in the mail and it survived the washer and drier without blinking an eye. It came out just as soft and fluffy as when it went in and I have no doubt it will stand up to thousands more washings. Liberator products are made to last, and everything, from the well bound edges to the sturdy waterproof barrier, is sure to hold up to plenty of sex and plenty of laundering.

I ordered the red/black, but the one I received was red on both sides. I didn't mind too terribly much, so didn't bother making an exchange, but we do feel the need to joke about the fur side's resemblance to the little red guy from Sesame Street...

This thing WORKS. Don't doubt for a moment. The first time my husband and I put it to work we started with a dripping, oily massage, which led to the spilling of semen, saliva and vaginal fluids all over the thing, which we then used to wipe ourselves clean. It's genius in design. Both sides are thirsty, take your pick!

Back in the day we used an old sleeping bag to protect our sheets when things were going to be particularly messy (see also: Blood.) And since then got into the habit of using towels- no more! The Throe is our go-to item for everything, now. Even if it's just keeping me warm in my desk chair, which it is also good for.

Not to mention being able to writhe around on all that wonderful fur is a new, pleasuring experience in and of itself!

I definitely knew I was in for something fabulous when the UPS guy handed me this box, which was much heavier and larger than I'd imagined it was going to be! Inside, the Throe itself was folded neatly in a clear plastic box, the labeling of which boasted user testimonials, and claims of being 'squirter approved!'

The product box labels are in NO WAY discreet, so if you plan to keep it for storage, you may wish to pull them out if it.

The Throe might very well be the easiest to care for toy in my stash. Toss it in the washer on cold with standard detergent, run it through the drier on medium heat (mine was set to permanent press with no issues,) and it pops out even more fresh and fluffy than when it came out of the box.

Do wash your Throe before use, as I did. Obviously it came from a factory so you'll probably want to exercise caution before putting your nakedness all over it.

Storage is a breeze, keep it folded with the rest of your linens, tossed over a chair in the bedroom, in a hope chest, or even folded and tucked just under the bed (always in reach!) It's such a versatile item that there's no reason not to treat it that way!
