Leather hood with leash by Pipedream - review by Average Joe

A hood can be a powerful weapon in a BDSM relationship; you can use it against your sub or partner in ways that could physically or emotionally electrify them. Pipedream has expanded their line of sex toys with the Fetish Fantasy Series; the collection of products in this line appeal to people with dark fantasies and a malevolent intent. The Leather Hood with Leash is a product that sparks the interest amongst those involved in the BDSM pool for years, and the Pipedream brand speaks volumes to those just starting to get their feet wet.

The Leather Hood with Leash is made from ultra soft leather and super stretchy spandex which help to create a very comfortable hood that is wearable for an extended period of time. The leather is thin, and while not very breathable, it does block out all light once the hood is properly adjusted. The spandex back of the hood makes for a product that is size friendly and does not discriminate against those with larger heads.

On the front of the hood is a vertical seam that opens up to a square cut mouth, the size of the mouth hole is quite large so if it's not pulled down far enough, your partner will still be able to breathe from their nose as well as their mouth. The fact that both the mouth and the nose have the option to be exposed with creative positioning, make fellatio without suffocation possible, as cramming someone's mouth full of something while they have no other way to breathe, can be incredibly dangerous. However, a word of caution, if you pull the hood down far enough, the seam will press against the tip of the nose and prevent air from reaching the nostrils.

At the neck is a 1" wide leather band that has seven precut holes to allow for a perfect fit. The metal accents on the belt are cheap and feel flimsy, however, they're able to sustain to rough play and will not falter under a heavy hand. The bottom of the hood (both leather and spandex) are not banded and will not cut into skin but instead, lay flat against the neck which in turn, creates a very comfortable product.

On the front and at the very bottom of the hood is an o-ring that can have a leash attached to it. The provided leather leash is 24" long which requires you to stay very close to your partner, the short length makes intimacy possible and constant contact unavoidable. Unfortunately, if the one using the leash is very tall, it makes walking your sub around on their knees a bit tedious as you aren't able to provide them with enough of a lead to be able to pull them back.

The hood looks menacing, threatening, wicked, and slightly psychotic to some. The black leather and the belt around the neck give way to a product that has a gruesome appeal as it is alarmingly horrific in nature. However, for someone wearing it who may be claustrophobic or does not desire to be bonded, it is not nearly as off putting as it may seem. The Leather Hood with Leash is something easily adjusted to for the one wearing it, however, as the one gazing upon it, you may find your sub looking malignant and yourself feeling insecure.

Overall, the sheer fatal presentability and the quality of the Leather Hood with Leash, make this something that truly speaks for itself. Dare to be dangerous.
