His and hers blinders - blindfold by Rachel's Pleasures - review by Mhari

These blind folds were disappointing for $15 not counting shipping. The adjustable quality would have been nice if they could be made to snugly fit. However no matter how they were adjusted they slipped, had light leaks, and were overly expensive for what they provide. When first used the blinders were a bit stiff, I'm not sure if that's because of material or packaging or what, but it did not win this product any points. These were uncomfortable to wear.

Even when on as tightly as they go these blinders slipped and were easy to see around. The adjustable ties loosened during play and they could not handle stress very well. This was just frustrating as it led to having to stop during play simply to readjust the blindfold. A scarf held up better and stayed in place longer when we got fed up and replaced the blinders with it. I can see where they would be purchased if someone was new to sensory play, however if this was the first blind fold I ever used I would be very frustrated and not enjoy the experience.

The only use I could possibly see for these would be as a gag gift for a conservative friend or as a bachelor/bachelorette gift. Even then these are expensive to buy. you can find less expensive and more effective blind folding tools in the travel section of a super market that are meant for sleep aids on planes and such.

The toy needs to be reworked to have more firm adjustable ties that don't slip during use, as well as needs to be redesigned to that it will comfortably fit a face. If a blind fold is intended to remove sight then it needs to stay put and not slide around, as well as contour more than simply having a space cut out for a nose. In fact the nose notch was too small which contributed to the ill fit and the ability to see under the blinders.
