The Locking Collar With Mini Bondage Rings made by my favorite company Spartacus, is absolutely the best collar I've ever seen. It fits around my neck ever so lovingly and "puts me in my place" because collars usually mean you belong to someone unless you just like that fashion of wearing a collar. I honestly love wearing it and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It is definitely used for long-term use because it does have a locking mechanism and who might have that key to your collar? Probably your Master/Mistress. I am definitely proud of my role in the relationship I am in and wouldn't trade it for a klondike bar.

This collar can be used S&M play as well as hardcore BDSM experimentation. Females and males can both wear this collar with no problems because it definitely looks like a heavy duty collar to me. I love how I can feel it around my neck all day.

I definitely think that this collar would be best suited for beginners, moderate, or advanced users. It is just a collar. It can't hurt you. You have to be into it though. If you don't like the way it looks, you'll never want to wear it. My boyfriend/Master and I picked out this collar together and it worked out really good.

The Locking Collar really makes my submissiveness come out so I am warning you now, this review may be a super erotic one.. but most of you will probably like that.

The design of this locking collar is pretty incredible. It looks so heavy duty and has three beautiful metal rings and one in the back to lock the collar in place. It looks so sexy to the eye that I hardly want to stop looking at it. It is made of leather and metal. I can tell you this, just wearing this collar makes me incredibly turned on and I just love how my Master is so possessive of me. I love "belonging" to him.

The shape of the actual collar is perfect. The length of the entire collar is just about 20 and 1/2" long. The width is just barely over 2" long. The shape of the collar is obviously round so it can fit around your neck comfortably and definitely has meaning in the BDSM world.

The collar does have adjustable settings to fit your neck. I have a pretty small neck and I have to make it pretty tight if I want it right against my neck, but sometimes I loosen it up with permission from Master to just allow me to wear it and let it hang. It has six adjustable settings that helps you figure out which kind of "tight" or "loose" you want with this collar. It also has these lovely and hardcore metal studs on the collar so you look badass whenever you wear it.

I definitely think that this collar is extremely well made. Spartacus is a company that I trust the most because their products just last so long and never give up on you. I've played around with this collar a lot lately and it really handles anything that you give it. It will last a very long time.

The material feels and smells like leather. I am such a sucker for the smell of leather. It feels velvety smooth and erotically cold with the metal rings. The rings do warm up quite quickly since it does go around your neck and your body heat will take care of that.

This collar fits like a god damn dream. I am currently in the process of wearing this collar 24/7 and sleeping with it. I don't shower with it because it is made of leather and I don't want to ruin it for some type of reason but I am in the process of wearing it for extended periods of time. I just love the feel of it on my neck and how I know that I am owned by the most amazing man ever.

The Locking Collar worked wonderfully for me. It fits perfectly and stays in place amazingly. I can't tell you enough how this collar really works for all kinds of people. It makes you feel submissive. It will make you feel sexy. It will make you feel owned. It will make you feel like you are someone's top priority. It will make you feel like someone is taking care of you. I absolutely love this collar. I can't rave about it enough.

This collar exceeded my expectations and it continues to always surprise me. I can walk around the house just wearing this collar and feel it on my neck. It is a constant reminder that I belong to a certain special man that really cares for me. It is a great feeling, especially for such a submissive slut that I am.

With the three metal rings that are on the collar, you can attach a leash so you can "walk" your submissive around and keep the leash in your hands for more control. In the back of the collar like I said, you can lock it very easily so your submissive can't take it off herself/himself. It is magnificent. It is such a power trip to my Master and he loves that he "collared" me.

Caring for leather is particularly easy. I personally wipe it down with a antibacterial wipe occasionally and it is as good as new.

Leather is just natural fibers (Patent leather is leather that has been given a high gloss finish.) Leather is a water resistant material with a high tensile strength and high resistance to tear. Usually used for harnesses and restraints it has high resistance to flexing and to puncture. Good heat insulator.

The metal pieces are also very easy to clean. Again, I just wipe it down with an antibacterial wipe occasionally to make sure my collar is in tip top shape at all times. I don't ever want to ruin this truly amazing masterpiece.

Metal is an element that readily forms ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Metal is phthalate-free and has firm, smooth texture. It is usually shiny, with a high density, ductile and malleable, usually has a high melting point, and retains heat well.

I personally don't store it at all. I wear it. If i'm not wearing it.. I am thinking about wearing it and putting the collar back on. The only time I take it off is when I am taking a shower or bath. I don't want to ruin my precious collar in any way possible.

There wasn't any real packaging for this collar. It came in a clear bag with a tag that said Spartacus. I actually liked that better than a box because I literally ripped open the clear bag as fast as possible to look at it better and feel it.

There was no instructions included in the clear plastic bag but you really don't need any instructions. It is a collar, what else are you going to do with it?

I want to explain a little about how collars really work and what they mean. Not many people really know how collars work in the BDSM world and I'd like to share a little history of it.

If you don't click the link, here is a brief history just for you.

In a BDSM context, a collar is a device of any material placed around the neck of the submissive partner. It is also a term used to show ownership of one partner by another. A person wearing a collar to symbolize their relationship with another is said to be collared. Some people conduct formal "collaring ceremonies," which are regarded as effectively solemnizing their relationship in a similar way as a marriage ceremony. The standard form of a collar is a black leather band around the neck and often has metal D-rings added to allow the attachment of a leash. Collars may be used in role-playing games involving humiliation because they have connotations of control and pet-like status, especially when worn with a leash. (cited from wikipedia)

My experience with this lusciously lovely locking collar is quite a delightful moment for me.

My boyfriend/Master and I have been looking for a decent collar that has a locking mechanism so he can have more control over me.. which I crave. We finally picked out this one on EF and ordered it that day. We spent a few days looking and debating with collar would be best. It was really cute when we came to each other and said that we wanted this collar out of all of them. We are seriously in sync.

I got this collar in the mail and ripped over the box. I looked at it and I wanted to put it on me instantly. I knew I shouldn't because I didn't want to jinx it. I wanted my boyfriend/Master to put it on me first. It is just superstition for me I guess. So.. I waited. And waited. And waited. He finally got home and I showed him. He was so excited that we got the collar so fast and he gave me a really long passionate kiss for not putting it on myself first. He wanted to put it around my delicate neck first.

I was standing in front of him and put the collar in his hand. I looked him straight in the eyes and of course he had one of those sexy smirks I always talk about. He adjusted the collar to fit my neck perfectly and put it on me. It felt so good and it smelled so good. I told him that I was so proud to belong to him and that this meant a lot to me. After I said that.. we couldn't keep our hands off each other and had a play session while I wore the collar with a now attached leash to it. He really loves how he can hook anything he wants up to my collar and I just have to deal with it. After our long love making/fetish/bdsm session.. we were exhaused. We really had some tension built up in a super sexual way. I couldn't have been happier. He put a lock on the back of my collar and told me that the key is his to keep. I smiled and knew that this is what I wanted my life to be like. I want him, all of him, all the time, and belonging to him.
