Beginner BDSM set

Soft Beginning for Newbies

Overall, this is a great set of toys to introduce someone to light BDSM play. It's lightweight and nearly impossible to accidentally injury someone with, and allows for two types of play: sensory and impact play. The price point is low for getting three toys, so while these aren't the best quality items, it's a low entry point into trying out something different in bed. ;)

Use

This set of toys: adjustable cuffs, a blindfold, and soft rope flogger, is a great BDSM beginner's collection. Those who are into heavier BDSM will probably want to graduate to something a little more solid, but this is great for the curious newbie. This product is geared toward couples, as everything is better used by someone on another than solo. Flogging yourself just isn't quite as fun, after all...

Travel wise, this kit would probably be luggage if not carry-on friendly. It's pretty obvious what the toys are for, but they're all very lightweight.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

The design of the toys are all very intuitive and easy to use, and although nothing feels like it is made to last it is all comfortable to wear and use.

The cuffs are very lightweight, and feel like poster paper coated with fleece fabric. They are adjustable with the use of a velcro strap, and I've found that the cuffs can be used on both wrists and ankles, although my partner and I are both of fairly average size. The clasp to connect the cuffs does feel a little gritty and is harder than expected to open, but shouldn't pose any significant difficulty to most people. There's no scent to the cuffs.

The blindfold also feels like it is paper coated with a fleece fabric, and the elastic band runs tight, although it does stretch to fit larger heads. Because the band is tight, however, the blindfold does lie flush with the face, although the shape of the user's nose will determine if there is a gap at the bottom or not. There's no scent, and the feel of the blindfold is soft and comfortable, although it does get hot underneath (like you'd expect of fleece!).

The rope feels like cotton, with a plastic grip handle. It is very soft, and the handle gives off only a faint plastic smell. Because the rope is lightweight cotton, it theoretically can be hand washed. This is a very light flogger, so is very gentle on the skin and also easy to use for an extended period.

Performance

This kit is great for sensory play with light restraint. The rope flogger is mildly stingy at worst, and like being hit with a very soft pillow at moderate to light force. It's great for learning how to throw a flogger. That combined with being restrained and unable to see can be quite fun. For the most part the toys are very light and comfortable to use. The cuffs are very intuitive, being Velcro adjustable and connectable with a similar clasp that you'd see on pet leashes. ;)

There are a few cons that my partner and I found: we both thought the cuffs felt flimsy, as if they were simply pieces of poster paper covered with fleecy fabric. That made us reluctant to really pull hard at them, although they stood up under light struggle. The blindfold is probably the least comfortable item for extended wear because it does not breathe very well. After about half an hour we found that the skin underneath the blindfold got sweaty.
    • Comfortable during use
    • Easy to put on / use

Packaging

This came in a simple clear plastic bag of moderate thickness.
    • Minimal
Follow-up commentary
I still like this beginner's BDSM set, although the only thing my partner and I use fairly consistently are the cuffs and, to a lesser extent, flogger. We find the cuffs to be versatile and more durable than expected, and the flogger is good for light teasing play. The blindfold doesn't breathe well, so we usually opt for a different one.
