We are building our toy box of bondage gear and I like to keep it light and not intimidating. This blindfold fits the criteria perfectly.

The blindfold is made of soft, black polyester material that is padded and has two lovely pink dragons on the front. The dragons are screen printed onto the fabric on either side of the front of the blindfold. The total length of the blindfold is 7 inches with a width of 3.5 inches. It is fairly small but covers even my guy's larger faces easily and almost completely blocks out the light. The nose cut out is deep enough that it fits without restricting breathing but it does let a bit of light seep in. I don't mind this feature as I have fairly hesitant playmates who appreciate feeling like they aren't completely blind.

The elastic that holds the blindfold in place is bright pink and thin. There are two bands that can be spread apart on the back of the head to lessen the pressure of the blindfold on the eyes. I put a couple of stitches into the area where the elastics attach to the blindfold as a precaution but they didn't come loose with my gentle tugging and trying it on before I added the stitches. With the precaution I can rest assured that even if I use this on my guys it won't come undone.

There is a strip of bias binding that finishes the edges of the blindfold and guarantees that it won't ravel and fray. The stitching is even and well supported, though I did find a few long strings it was easy to simply clip them. The silk screening is well done and the edges of the dragon 'tattoo' are fully bonded with the fabric, this blindfold will last a long time with gentle care.

The Tattoo blindfold can be hand washed in cold water with very mild detergent, and then allowed to air dry. The silk screening of the dragons might not hold up to the twisting and stretching that a washing machine can inflict. It also may not hold up to the heat of a dryer along with the pulling and stretching of a dryer. Hung up with a lingerie hanger it will dry without problems.

Should the stitching come out around the blindfold it would be very easy to restitch it with a machine or buy some iron on seam sealer and fix it that way. The blindfold is part of a set that includes wrist and ankle cuffs.

The blindfold arrives folded in half and wrapped in a plastic bag. The plastic bag is kept secure and clean in a box that is fairly large for what's inside. The box is fairly discreet picturing the blindfold on the face of a lovely blonde woman and the logo of the product most prominent. You could store the blindfold in the box if space isn't an issue for you, but it can also slip inside a lingerie drawer easily. This is a very discreet little toy as well as it can be explained as a sleep aid!

The blindfold is soft, comfortable and non-threatening. It doesn't offer much pressure over the eyes which I particularly appreciate but some might desire that pressure and find it calming. It doesn't completely block out all light but it does a good job of blocking vision. For more timid players this feature is reassuring while still allowing them to enjoy sensory play. The elastic is stretchy but over time will stretch out of shape, especially if used on a variety of players. It's easy to buy and attach new elastics making this a long lasting, comfortable blindfold. It's also very cute and girly making it special for the lovely lady in your life or a special bit of humiliation for the macho guy in your life!

I was initially concerned that the silk screening wouldn't hold up to repeated use on this lovely blindfold, turns out I needn't have been concerned. I haven't seen any cracking or peeling and the bands in the back are still firmly attached. After gently washing the blindfold I left it to dry on a flat surface. In a few hours it was a beautiful as when I took it out of the package.
