Xplay luscious set - bdsm kit discontinued by Allure lingerie - review by ArcaneBlast

A great BDSM kit comprising of a pair of cuffs, a collar, a blindfold and a cock ring, this kit is a great find to use as a beginner and sturdy enough for the experienced. The blindfold is great for sensory play, while the collar and cuffs are great for restraint and control. You can use this with a partner, or just wear these as jewelry.

All of these products are made with faux-leather and just that. It's thick pseudoleather so it's more durable but also more stiff. These items all have that 'leather' smell and how it feels is indistinguishable from shoe leather.

Ring:
Length/Circumference: 6.5" - 8" circumference (6" if you don't mind it having a tail) at 0.5" intervals
Diameter: 1.5" - 2.5" diameter (perfect circle, not ellipse) at 0.25" intervals
Width: 0.5"

In all honesty, I don't think this was well thought out as an adjustable ring. The lowest adjustment is at 1.5" and increases in .25" intervals to 2.5", and thus might not fit everyone. While this considers the rare few with a large girth, this doesn't consider those with a smaller girth. Also considering the fact that most penises I've encountered are elliptical and not perfect circles this would fit even looser, even at its tightest adjustment. In fact, this is so loose it fits around my wrist perfectly when adjusted to the tighest setting without a tail (1.75"). Although I have thin wrists, it still says something when something that's suppose to fit well on a penis fits around your arm comfortably. If I were a man, I would find it really emasculating if I needed to adjust it past optimally tightest where it leaves a little excess material to get it to fit; not the best way to market a product Allure.



Blindfold:
The blindfold, as it has an elastic band, is suppose to be one size fits most. After putting this on, I felt this wasn't the case as I'm petite and my head is no different and this still felt a bit tight and restricting. The shape of this is isn't perfectly contoured to the human face and thus wouldn't give you total darkness. Other than these two problems, I like this mask pretty well. It's sturdy and because it's tight it won't shift out of place; this also is pretty aesthetically appealing on and off the face.




Collar:
Closure Type: Buckle and D-ring
Circumference/Length: 13.5" - 20.5"
Diameter: 4.375" - 6.25"
Width: 1.5"

This piece, as opposed to the other two, was actually slightly loose, but not too loose that it was uncomfortably dangling and impeded head movement because my chin kept hitting it nor was it so loose that it looked big on me. In fact, it basically matches the two finger rule on how tightly you're suppose to tighten a dog collar. My qualms with this is the width because it presses on my larynx, no lining and the fact that it doesn't have another 'belt loop' to hold the tail as I have to turn the buckle area to the back for my hair to hold the tail back. Lastly, this honestly feels like someone strapped a belt to my neck but safer only because there are holes for the buckle to lock on to and that the studs act a little like a safety mechanism so it can't tighten too tightly, so it doesn't continually tighten if someone pulled the excess material. I do, however, like that this looks pretty good. After a while, this feels a bit constricting and uncomfortable in a "it feels like it's choking you, but it's not" way though.



Cuffs:
Closure Type: Buckle and D-ring
Circumference/Length: 6"- 9.625" in .5" increments
Diameter: 1.25" - 3" in .25" increments
Width: 2"

These are pretty nice, but again, I do have one problem with them: My wrists fit the second hole, but the material was so stiff it wouldn't let me tighten it to that degree easily. It took a lot of effort and I actually needed help holding this around my wrist tightly so that I could pull it to snugly wrap around my wrist. Hopefully this problem resolves itself after I break these in. I also had the same tail problem again, but it's not that big of a deal here since it's not too long. My last issue is that this is a bit bulky if your wrists are small and looks a bit odd around the buckles so wearing this as jewelry isn't really the more aesthetically appealing, especially with the D-latch on one of these. The bulkiness also makes it a bit hard to perform every day activities that require the wrists to be close to something such as typing comfortably. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with these at all.

These products, aside from comfort in the case of the blindfold and collar, work really well. The collar is sturdy and can take a bit of punishment, and the blindfold doesn't slip and stays on even if it does let in a bit of light. The wrist cuffs themselves also withstand a few tugs and pulls and keep the wearer restrained well, which leads to a safety precaution I learned the hard way: DO NOT connect these and then put them on, especially to a tight fit because unless you are double jointed you will not be able to unlatch the hook from the ring and it is VERY hard to undo one of the cuffs by yourself. It's doable but hard and you might strain something since it puts your hand in an odd position. These don't cut into skin which I like but they're also very stiff and came in the box in a very folded way and they like to retain that shape which causes a problem. As I said before, the ring has a better usage as a bracelet than something to wear on your dick.

I've noted that the cuffs are a bit bulky and, due to the stiffness, are hard to adjust very tightly. Most of these products are more geared towards larger people (in more ways than one) rather than petite people such as myself. I only wish they would be able to accommodate both.

Since this is made of faux-leather, this can easily be washed and should be washed with warm water, some soap and wiped with microfiber cloth or a nice bristle brush.

This came in an indiscreet recyclable cardboard box portraying a male and a female, the latter with the blindfold, cuffs and collar on. The back states the contents of the box along with a small picture of the products.


Inside is a not so recyclable plastic bag snugly holding the products inside.

I really like how neatly packaged it is and how it doesn't unnecessarily use excess material for such.
This doesn't come with any safety information which is disappointing as gear for BDSM that could be used as restraints should always have safety information.
