Under the bed restraint system - under bed strap kit discontinued by Sportsheets - review by *Huxley*

AIM: To discover whether the Under the bed restraint system, now known only as the restraint kit; can keep me down while keeping me excited.

HYPOTHESIS: That the restraint kit will not restrain me comfortably. I felt this could be a hit or miss. Some loved it some hated it. I worry that the wrist strap will be uncomfortable. As well as the positioning of the straps; The position of the straps are reminiscent of King Henry III's England, where quartering was all the rage, this seems uncomfortable. I worry also that my limbs may fall asleep or lose circulation. Hopefully my hypothesis is incorrect.

EQUIPMENT:
Restraint kit, packaged in a plastic clam shell with instructions.
1 California king bed
Dim lights
1 Willing partner
Myself


(Fully installed.)

PROCEDURE:
Control Experiment: Foreplay with partner. Disrobe. Dim lights. Get in bed. Restrain. Remain this way until we are both finished aka orgasm to monumental proportions.

SAFETY/RISKS:
Use safety word.
Listen.
This experiment may result in multiple orgasms.
Please be sure to remain properly hydrated.

DISCUSSION:
Accuracy was maintained through purely scientific understandability and measurment of the straps.
as we can see in fig.1,2,3,4,5,6


FIG.1:
Entire restraint kit laid over the top of the bed. As noted in 'equipment'.
Under bed strap measures: 60" long, not including wrist/ankle straps. This part shown here in the middle is a flat 1" wide basic nylon strap. The under the bed strap is placed under the mattress and above the box spring or slats.


FIG.2
As we can see once positioned to the desirable installed place the D ring that attaches can be seen.
Attached making a 'Y', the wrist/ankle restraints being the top of the Y. The entire until is best if centered. And depending on YOUR mattress, it can be positioned either vertical or horizontal. I have mine horizontal.


FIG.3
This is the end of the strap that is attached to the D ring. Here is where we can pull to tighten the length of the restraint. It can be adjusted from it's full length to 60"L to 50",43",39", 2", really any number from 1" to 60". Switch it up as you please. Less on the ankle and more restraint on the wrist. Yes, that is possible. Vice versa, sure, go for it. As a faux scientist I can say with 100% probability that can be done.
You can loosen or tighten via the locking slider.


FIG.4
Notice the locking slider restraint is ending and we have moved the the middle. Here we have two(2) metal key rings on either side. Side one (locking slider restraint) and side two (wrist strap. In the middle of side one and two, we have a metal swivel clip. Here we can detach the wrist/ankle strap or substitute them for our favorite wrist/ankle straps. The metal clip allows us to interchange freely.


FIG.5
Wrist Straps. Made from soft neoprene, the main material of the straps inside and out. A small 'sport sheets' logo is attached to the nylon which circles around the outside to hold the velcro and metal key ring. The wrist/ankle straps are interchangeable with one another as all four(4) are the same size. the neoprene peice is 10"L, 2"W, 1/8"T with an additional securing Velcro piece that is 5.5" long. The neoprene can fold over itself to accommodate smallest wrist/ankles tightly. From the largest size (15") to the smallest (1.5") it can still grab onto the velcro making a secure restraint. This is also where the side two(2) of the key ring is located as noted in FIG.5.


FIG.6
Please note here, that when the strap is tighten to it's desired length there will be an over lap of excess nylon strapping. This can be used, if wished, to further secure your partner. By either wrapping the excess over the wrist/ankles additionally or by bounding hands together. This is not required, but should be noted.

Benefits of using the restraint kit:

1) So you can have the dominate role without having to learn knots.
2) So you can have the submissive role without rope burn.
3) So your partner could use an insertable toy on you and get full view.
4) So you can't move. heh.
5) Fucking in such a way that you can do nothing but take it. Being on your stomach and restrained made this much easier, then being in missionary fyi.
6) Achieving orgasms without your own assistance either during sex/masturbation.
7) Having the build up of being so aroused that you just about have a heart attack.
8) Being void of any digging marks, or burns from the wrist/ankle straps.
9) Being able to let someone loose quickly, without having to untie knots.
10) It's a safe way to experiment.

RESULTS:
Control:
Once installed and blowing the whole idea off for quite some time, finally the moment came where I would have to face being proved wrong.
My partner and I, spontaneously pulled the straps out, which were neatly tucked under the bed, hidden from snooping sallies. He decided this was a grand moment for science. He pulls me to the middle of our rather large bed and straps my ankles in, then my Wrists. It was easy positions them in a way that he finds attractive. Then he pulls on the over lap of the nylon strapping securing them so they can't move. I was restrained within 1 minute. But, I was able to move my limbs within a 3" span North, East, South or West; or Up down, side to side if you so prefer. I could also mimic the Contra code with my feet. "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start".
The wrist/ankle straps were comfortable with their neoprene hugging my skin secure, but softly. Even when tightened I was a locked down. Moving upwards off the bed was difficult, but moving within the bed was easy. Even spread out with all limps pointing to the corner of the bed, wasn't awful. I am fairly short measuring 5"4, and I was able to be stretched in a way that put Stretch Armstrong to shame, without losing circulation.

Strapping my partner in was just as pleasurable. Using pillows, or is you are so lucky to have a Liberator wedge I was able to strap him in. Whereas I preformed oral sex until he was about to burst and ride it home.
//Experiment disproved my hypothesis.


CONCLUSION:
I believe my analysis of the restraint kit to be well informed and educated. Though the build is not exactly sturdy it has been great to literally pull it out sporadically and be able to use without having to worry about it being put together or find. It's always, right where you left it. It hides well installed being pushed under a bed skirt or an over sided blanket. The only thing that I could see not being convenient is if you bed was pushed up against the wall. Obviously even pushed under the bed to hide you will see a length of the straps, but it's not elusive to being anything sexual.

The stitching is okay, it's serged on and looks to be a thicker thread. I have not had to fray or pull out in the year I have had it installed. None of the locking devices have warped, broke, or been freed from the nylon strapping. The nylon strapping is sturdy.
It does it's job, holding a person down, retraining them safely while being comfortable. While it does allow a short span of moment, it's not enough to deter you from trying this out. The Velcro never came unfastened, and the restraint kit held up even during heavier play.
