I have had a long history with insomnia, and have issues with light when I try to sleep (and I used to go to bed at 6AM, so I am far too familiar with this problem!).

Two blindfolds have helped me.

The best one was from Liberator.* It's called Love Blind. It has a nose bridge that somehow is really comfy but completely blocks out light. It's not particularly dungeon-esque, which was kind of a downside for me, but you can choose from a lot of different colours, and they are really pretty and furry, kind of like an obscenely soft teddy bear. The purple is a perfect match for the other Liberator purple stuff, if that's an issue at all.

The other blindfold that helped me I found at Ulta, which is a beauty store. It has flax seeds in it and it's made of silk, and the seeds flow over your nose and block out all light.



*I am not sure if this is the same product that you can choose as part of your free gift for orders over $75, but if so that is an excellent deal. I got my blindfold from the Pro Cuff Kit, not a la carte. As an aside, those zippered bags you get as part of the free gift are very, very nice.

I like blindfolds. I find hoods to be kind of creepy.

J and I differ on this. She likes using blindfolds in our play.. but really dislikes full hoods. For me, I MUCH rather have a hood covering my whole head than a blindfold just over my eyes.

My interest in hoods over blindfolds is for two reasons. The first reason is that I find blindfolds seldom (if ever) fit well enough to block out all vision throughout the wiggling that goes along with our play. The second reason is that I really enjoy tight and inescapable bondage. Having my entire head held in a form of bondage just adds to that!

On others I tend to prefer blindfolds, hoods hide the face too much. Wish I had a pair of blackout contacts, those would be pretty neat

Slave hood looks to me like you wouldn't be able to breath.

There should be an option for both. I just chose blindfold since I have used one more often.

I prefer to use a blindfold. I like to see the person's face.

I prefer hoods myself but if you're even slightly claustrophobic they can be a terrible choice.
I'd say if you're pretty sure it won't freak you out and make you panic try one of the spandex or fabric hoods first and work your way up to the more extreme end like rubber or leather.

It would depend on the scene but in most cases, a blindfold. I really need to breathe well.

A blindfold is less claustrophobic and good for many moods, which a hood only really works on rarer occasions if you're a little iffy on such extensive sensory deprivation, as some people are.

This is all to say nothing of how hard it is to find hoods for people with bigger heads.

My sub enjoys both, but blindfolds tend to be a bit nicer, especially during allergy season

Blindfold: it seems dominant yet casually affectionate. That's a good mix I think!
