The Intima Silk Blindfold effectively cuts off vision and light, though it does not block every bit of light. Contoured to fit the eyes and nose this blindfold slips on and is kept secure by a silk covered elastic band - quite stretchy but also quite snug. It may be too snug for some but, if it fits you, it's lovely. The fabric is soft and luxurious to the touch leaving you feeling gorgeous, anticipating what may come next.
