Elastabind corset restraint - restraints discontinued by Sportsheets - review by butts

To start off, this isn't a hardcore restraint, so if you're looking for some hard BDSM equipment, look elsewhere. It can easily be combined with a nice pair of cuffs, however this product is mostly decorative. The corset restraint is a sexy lightly figure shaping piece with elastic around the waist and a vegan faux-leather corset style front (or back, depending on how you wear it), with elastic wide cuffs on the sides to keep your partner or yourself lightly and comfortably secured. This is a perfect piece for beginners and those who are into light bondage. It can be easily put on by yourself and gotten out of by yourself, no locks, ropes or chains to get stuck in. The corset front is mostly for looks; however, it can be loosened a bit if needed, just don't expect it to do too much shaping of your figure because of the stretchy elastic.

The corset restraint doesn't cover a large area of the body like a normal corset does, and there are no cups for breasts. This means it can be easily worn by anyone, not just women! I got this for my boyfriend, and it fits rather well on his girly, thin figure. It's not too tight; if anything, it's almost a bit loose! My roommate, who is a lovely curvy girl, had a harder time getting it on. Her breasts made it a little uncomfortable to get over her head, and it sat better around her waist than around her hips, and the arm cuffs were a bit tight. If you're on the thicker side, this might be uncomfortable on you; I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you consider yourself "heavy" or "big" as it only fits up to a size 20. If you just have extra wide hips like my roommate, just wear it higher than normal and have your partner assist you in getting your arms into the cuffs.

The materials are decently well made; I stretched and examined the corset for small tears and frays and saw nothing worth mentioning aside from slight imperfections which are expected with a budget item like this. With regular use, this product would probably last years, as long as you weren't vigorously struggling in it with every use. If you like to put your bondage pieces to the test, you could easily rip this thing apart if you wanted to. The elastic is quite stretchy, making it a comfortable fit for most thin to average sized people, but if it feels pretty tight, don't force it. I've found that while the Elastabind material itself is hard to rip, it will give at the seams with a lot of stress. The shiny black faux leather in the front doesn't have any scratchy pieces inside to bother bare skin because it's reversible, and the piece as a whole is rather comfortable for extended wear. Laces hold the corset front together, they can't be tightened much more than they are when you take it out of the box, but they can be loosened.

The package is anything but discreet, so have fun recycling the box if you don't want people to know about it! The package isn't the purple Sportsheets one that is shown on the site (that could differ per order), it's a black and white box made from sturdy cardboard with Sex and Mischief written right on the front similar to https://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-and-mischief-adjustable-handcuffs/adult-toys-dvds-30561 with semi nude men and women all over it. The box contains the corset restraint inside of a non-reusable plastic bag, the box could be used for storage because of it's sturdiness but you could easily throw this into your toy box or any clothing drawer without worry.

The corset comes folded up, but you don't need to worry about creases and wrinkles because of the elastic fabric. Do be careful sharply folding the faux leather though. Don't iron the corset, treat this like you would your most delicate lace. Don't throw this into the washer or dryer even on low settings, wash it with mild soap and warm water by hand and let it hang to dry. I wouldn't worry about staining this since it's all black, and since it's not going in a washing machine, you shouldn't have to worry about the color bleeding. There's no information on the materials except the Elastabind, so if there's clothing materials you're allergic to, try calling up SportSheets. If you experience itching, tingling or numbness, either from the material or it's tightness, take it off!

Overall, I'm so happy I finally got this. It's a super sexy light restraint that isn't too outlandish for us, and it was quite inexpensive! I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in corsets and light bondage, no matter your gender.

My favorite way to wear this is over my chest, so my upper arms are in the cuffs. This would work perfect with some wrist cuffs, but make sure to wear the corset restraint backwards because the arm cuffs point forward slightly to make the position more comfortable for the wearer. It's not bulky and could be worn under a sweatshirt to surprise your partner with, or flip it inside out so the cuffs don't show and wear it like a real corset! I really love the look of this on my male partner, it really compliments his waist and it isn't overly feminine; plus it fits his slim figure perfectly. This is definitely one of our new favorite sexy clothing pieces!
