Fascinator posh throe - throw discontinued by Liberator - review by arewehavingfun?

The 54" X "60 "fascinator posh throe" by Liberator arrived at our home. We had ordered the black color and it is a very rich, deep and dark black. One side is a soft and velvety microfiber material and the other side is a smooth, satiny fabric. Between the 2 sides is a thin, yet sturdy, waterproof plastic layer. It is marketed to people who masturbate or have sex and want to protect the area under them from body fluids. It is beautiful, and it does absorb body fluids without staining. If I stopped here, I would have to give it 5/5 stars. But I can't.

My husband and I were ready to test out the blanket. I placed it, microfiber side up, on the bed. We laid on top of the blanket, side by side, with my husband holding me in his arms. We began kissing and as we kissed, our bodies naturally moved around. Wait!! What's this? OMG--the throe was also sliding around the bed, and not in a good way. OK. It was a slow start so I turned the throe so that the satin side was now face up. We assumed the position. We were kissing and really enjoying ourselves when my husband started to...wait..what's going on here? OMG--this time we were sliding off the throe.

My husband took the throe and tossed it on the bedroom floor (carpeted). Once again, the microfiber was face up. My husband (being the gentleman that he is) scooped me in his arms and lay me on top of the throe. We were side by side and kissing--it was getting very hot about now--when we stopped. OMG--the throe was sliding again. OK. Never give up in the science of sex we say, so I flipped the throe over and the satin side was face up. Back in position (yada yada yada for all you Seinfeld fans) and we went back to what we had started. OMG--and this time my husband was not too happy--we were sliding on the throe. It seemed that the throe just wasn't cooperating. I had one last idea.

We took the throe into the living room to do one last test on hardwood floors. Once again I placed the blanket on the floor with the microfiber side face up. Once again, we began to complete the task at hand. The throe slid around the hardwood floors like children slide on ice. This time, it was not OMG, but, being the lady that I am, I am not allowed to use the language that spewed from my husband's mouth. I was shocked, but in my mind I was agreeing with him. Ok, we had agreed to share this assignment, so we pushed on. This time the throe was turned so that the satin was face up. Again, we were lying side by side with my husband holding me in his arms and we were kissing. And, guess what happened next? That's right--we were sliding on the throe

At this point we were more in the mood than ever and I was out of testing ideas. By the way, this throe is not very thick and did nothing to make lying on a wooden floor very comfortable. However, we did complete what we had set out to do. I'm just not telling you where we were!

NOTE TO SELF: When having sex in the living room, stick to the sofa or chairs.

All was not lost with the throe. The next day my brother and sister-in-law brought the cutest, most adorable twin boys over for a visit (did I mention they are my nephews?). Chandler and Chase are in the pre-crawling stage. I had an idea. I pulled out the fascinator posh throe and put it on the floor (hardwood) with the satin side face down. Chandler was the first to volunteer so off came his diaper. I placed him in the middle of the throw and by the huge smile on his face, by golly, I think he liked it! His bum was up in the air and he looked like he was trying to swim. Since he can't yet crawl and he isn't tall enough to reach the edges of the blanket, he pretty much stayed in place.

Chase was happy to be getting the bulk of attention as we waited for Chandler to complete the mission on his own. After a few minutes "IT" happened. Chandler peed on the pad for us. Chandler was happy. I was happy. However, he was unavailable for comment as his Mommy was putting on a clean diaper.

The pee both pooled on top of the microfiber and absorbed into the microfiber. I folded the blanket so that the urine was absorbed entirely and tossed it in the hamper to wait for laundry time. When laundry time arrived, I placed the throe in the washing machine with other very dark colors. When the wash was ready, into the dryer it went. The throe came out soft and pretty as ever--no stains and no residual urine odor.

SO, from our experience, the throe is not so much fun when we are having sex but we both agree, as do my brother and sister-in-law, that it makes a great baby changing blanket.

To qualify my "I still don't like it", I must add the phrase "for sex". Everyone loves it as a diaper changing pad. An expensive diaper changing pad, but they like this.
