Smitten kitten kit - bdsm kit by Hustler Toys - review by bzzingbee

The Smitten Kitten Kit is a perfect introduction to light BDSM and sensation play. This is a set that is great for couples to use on each other, though parts of it can be used alone. Anyone who enjoys light, sensual BDSM can enjoy this little kit that includes a blindfold, a feather tickler, satin cuffs, and a bullet vibrator.

This kit is not intended for heavy play, and with that in mind was made of delicate materials. The blindfold is satin with some type of padding to keep it thick enough to block light. It is smooth to the touch and retains heat easily. The eye cover is red with black trim, and the ribbons that tie the blindfold on are black satin that measure 23 inches each. The ribbons start at about 1 inch in width up by the eye cover and increase in size gradually to 2 inches at the loose ends. The blindfold is extremely adjustable to fit any size.

The feather tickler is a 6 inch plastic rod with black and red feathers that measure 4 to 6 inches long. The feathers are attached at the tip of the rod and don't come loose with gentle pulling. The satin 'cuffs' are really just one piece of satin that has two 2.5 inch long loops, one at each end. The entire length of the cuff strip is 27.5 inches with a width of 1 3/8 inch. The stitching for the loops seems solid for gentle play but isn't meant to hold up to heavy pulling.

The included bullet is a standard plastic one-speed bullet that is red. It runs on 3 watch batteries and is operated with a push button on the end. There has been no paint worn off of the bullet, and it appears to be waterproof with a rubber o-ring. It measures 2.25 inches long and approximately .5 inch in diameter.

The blindfold works fairly well for its purpose if you tie it tightly. If there is any looseness to it you will be able to see light and possibly be able to peek out of the bottom of the blindfold. Fortunately, the satin ties hold well and don't slip when tied. It does retain body heat and absorbs sweat.

The cuffs are actually a kind of sliding knot that you insert your wrists into. To use them, fold a piece of the satin over and push it through the looped end, and then place your hand through the loop created by the folded piece. This will keep the folded piece from slipping back through and will cause it to tighten on the wrist in a restraining manner. Repeat the same with the other side. This will leave a length of satin in the middle that can be used to move the hands around or loosely attach them to a post to limit movement. Since the cuffs can slide and tighten or loosen with movement, it is important that the unrestrained partner keep an eye on the hands to make sure they are getting proper circulation. These cuffs can hold up to some play, but too much strain could rip them.

The tickler is soft and stimulating. It feels nice run over any part of the skin, but you should avoid getting it wet. The handle is fairly short, so you need to be very close to your target to use it. It's easiest to use this tickler while sitting right next to your partner.

The bullet is pretty standard in shape and size but is surprisingly powerful. It packs a good punch in its one speed, but also has a pretty audible buzzy sound. The vibrations can be felt throughout the bullet but are most concentrated in the tip. The bullet can be applied to nipples, clit, or any other erogenous zone, but should not be inserted anally since it does not have a flared base.
