Blush collar - collar by Sportsheets - review by mpfm

Uses-
Sportsheets offers this basic no frills pink collar. It's great for beginners or light to intermediate bondage players. It would probably not suit the needs for those interested in heavy bondage. Collars can be used for pet play or for subs. A leash can be attached to lead them wherever you want or used to tether them to a spot. The collar can be worn alone to demonstrate submission. This can be used in the bedroom of course. But it also can be worn in public if desired. It is comfortable enough for extended wear. The light pink is soft and feminine. It's not threatening or intimidating in any way. It could be color coordinated with lingerie or clothes for a well put together look. It's not real discreet. It is definitely a collar, but perhaps in the right environment it could pass as a fashion accessory.

Material/Design-
This is made from faux leather. It is vegan so animal lovers can use it without any guilt. The faux leather is soft and supple. The collar bends easily and contours nicely to the neck. The underside is a plush black material. It is soft and comfortable. It does not cause any chafing or irritation. It is a very basic collar. There isn't any bling on it anywhere. This is pink, but it is also available in red or black.

In the middle is a metal D-ring. It is attached securely. A leash or even cuffs can be attached here. You have to purchase them separately. Eden carries a blush leash that matches perfectly.

The entire collar is 19 inches long and 1 inch wide. The collar is adjustable to accommodate a variety of neck sizes. It has 3 snaps that fasten it together. It can fit a neck as small as 14.5 inches and as large as 18.5 inches. The collar does not seem as secure when fastened at the smallest and largest setting. That is because at those settings, only one snap can be fastened. It won't come loose. It just doesn't feel as secure as it does with 2 or 3 snaps in place.

The stitching is neat without any loose threads. However the snaps are not attached in a straight line. On both ends, one of the snaps is off just a bit. It doesn't effect use. They still line up and snap in place, but they are noticeably off center.

Care/Storage-
The collar arrived attached to a cardboard with just the product name and company listed. There were no instructions but it is self explanatory. To clean just wipe down with a damp cloth. Lay it flat to dry. It's best to store this flat. A dresser drawer would be fine. Ours is in a case with the rest of our bondage gear.

This is comfortable for me to wear. It is strictly worn in the bedroom just for fun. I like to match it with some pretty lingerie or sometimes just wear the collar. My husband would like to find a bell to put on the D-ring. I think that would dress it up perfectly.

The collar has held up well. We did buy a small bright pink bell to put on the ring. It adds a nice touch. The collar tends to bend and get unsightly wrinkles if not stored flat. That's the only flaw I have had with it. As long as I store it properly it is fine.
