An excellent introduction to BDSM/impact/sensory deprivation play. Flogger and bindings are very soft, easy to get out of if need be. However, you get what you pay for - the products are cheaply made. This is not for someone who already has a set they like or need to replace. This is for those who are trying to see "hey, is this for me?" and not spend a fortune.

Has the basics of a BDSM set, good for those who wanna try kink play. Cuffs are the best part.

Fantasy in Purple came to me along with a bunch of other toys in a plain, opaque bag. Nobody could tell what was inside - and thank god; I'd have been mortified. Still, once I got it out, here's what it looked like. If you're planning on gifting it to someone, you're gonna need to get a nicer packaging system, because a ziplock baggie ain't gonna cut it.
Within the transparent baggie, we have these as the contents: wrists bindings, ankle bindings, a flogger, and an eyemask.
Unlike the other bondage set I got with the Fantasy in Purple, Bedroom bondage galore (review) - which would keep my lovely sub in a spread eagle position for me - the Fantasy in Purple set would keep their wrists and ankles bound close together. These are the only two bondage sets I own, and as such, the only ones I can compare to each other.
For the binding system itself, we can compare a bit. While both sets are made of rather cheap materials, I believe this one is the more beginner-friendly of the two, as it is noticeably softer. It's also easier to get the sub out of, as we're dealing with velcro rather than my knots. I believe that, if something were to happen, the sub would manage to get out of these (unlike the other).
Moving on, The flogger. Very soft, also beginner friendly, but cheaply made. You can feel it in the material and in the lack of weight. There's not much balance to it. The material doesn't allow for proper cleaning as it's porous, but it does its job. I don't think it's possible to actually hurt someone with this unless you throw it at them and hit them with a handle. But that's okay. Perhaps this one'll remain ready for the days where I need to be more gentle. But most days, I actually want my sub to hurt :)
Lastly, the blindfold. In short, it could be better. The shape is alright, but it doesn't adhere as much to the shape of the face as a blindfold should. Because it's so stiff, it's easy to peek out from underneath it. You can't tie it tighter (we just have a stretchy band at the back), but even if you could, the stiffness would be annoying and will press hard against the eyes.
TL;DR: an awesome beginner BDSM/bondage set, but not something to buy if you have a set you already enjoy like how I do. Fantasy in Purple has kinda low-quality materials and is good for people who are trying to see if BDSM is for them without sacrificing an arm and a leg.
