Soft blindfold by Sportsheets - review by PinkPedal

This is my first blindfold, so I was kind of excited to try it out. The blindfold was in a little box of its own from Sportsheets. When I first saw the box, I thought, "Ugh," because the girl in the picture was wearing one of the blindfolds and it was really ugly. I was really hoping it wasn't going to look like that on me.

When it comes to this Soft Blindfold, you will get what you pay for. It's only nine bucks, so if you're on a budget, this will be great. Overall, it does its purpose of a blindfold, but it's poorly put together. The Soft Blindfold is definitely soft with its velvety fabric (as long as you feel it along the grain), and the elastic stretches up to 26". There are not too many positives I can say about this item. The blindfold was putting pressure on my eyeballs, and that was making it painful and gave me a headache. It also looked like it was handmade. It simply has a piece of elastic sewed on to some soft fabric, which is kind of disappointing. You can see the white stitching on the black elastic, and some of the threading was coming undone. It would have been a little better had the thread been black and matched. It does keep the light out, and you can just barely see out when you look down toward the nose, but it's a very small opening.

Again, this is just your basic blindfold and nothing special, sadly. I don't know if you can wash it; I honestly don't want to try because I'm afraid it will fall apart and that would kind of suck. Unless you're on a really, really tight budget, I do think that you can get something much better and longer lasting than this one for a few bucks more.

I still have the same feelings about this one. I hardly use it and it pinches on my eyes; the softness doesn't make up for that.
