Fetish Fantasy japanese silk rope - suspension kit by Pipedream - review by Sin Secret

We've never done rope play, not really. There have been the occasional cuffs or scarves used, but never anything big or extreme. This rope was almost the perfect pick for our first time. It's soft (although I kind of doubt whether it's really made of silk, and not some silk/cotton mix), strong, and definitely versatile. It's also very approach-able. A lot of bondage products have a certain... intimidation that goes along with them. They’re supposed to look that way, yes, but it can potentially scare off those who’ve never done that kind of thing. This beginner’s product doesn’t have that problem at all. It actually kind of looks like a gigantic shoelace. That’s not all that sexy, but what you can do with it is a different story.

The greatest thing about this rope is its fantastic versatility. Pretty much anything you want to do with a rope can be done with this. Whether it’s simple wrist or ankle ties, hog ties, or intricate knots all over the place, you’re likely to manage it with this slim, soft rope. Its softness could be considered a downside if you're looking for something a little more rough. I do know a few people who are into things like rope burns. If that's what you're looking for, you're going to have to work a little harder with this rope. It's not impossible, but because of how soft it is, it takes a little extra effort than a normal rope.

The downside (for the first time) was how very very long it is. While this is definitely a positive thing about the rope, for our first time it threw us off a little. "Okay, I've got your wrists but...what do I do with the rest of the rope???" Luckily, after a little creativity it was solved by pulling the leftover and tying it under the bed.

The packaging is definitely not discreet- a large white box with high quality images of sexy girls all tied up. An awesome little bonus was the blindfold included in the box. Silky on the inside and thicker on the outside (so no light gets through), and it stays on pretty well, with only a small space by your nose that might be seen through. It actually kind of conforms to your face, which is odd at first but kind of neat.

It also picks up lint a little too well, so try to keep it off the floor!

It took a little extra time for me to write this review because I really have no experience with rope play, and I was hoping to get a little more experience with it before writing about it. Unfortunately life has been a little too busy for any real play time, so I'm still pretty close to where I started. What I can tell you about my experience with this rope is that it works great for tying up; the rope is so long that even after adequately tying up the wrists or ankles, there's still room to pull the ends and tie them to something.
My rope was first used for Valentine's Day, and I picked up the process really quickly, and if I can do it, I'm pretty sure any beginners can.
