It was not long after making my request that an unmarked box arrived in the mail (3 days to be exact - very surprising!). Immediately I opened the box to find an old plastic bag with a facsimile sticker as the only identification. There was no other wording or pictures indicating the brand, size or materials used. When this item arrived the sides were pushed together causing two points to be extremely bent. They never regained it's original shape. The packaging is very plain, a simple plastic bag that is thick and old with a facsimile sticker for identification with no branding. It looks as if it sat on the back shelf of a tool makers shelf for 15 years. First impressions are lasting.

A few days later I brought it to the attention of my partner that our new item had arrived. The suspense bothered him throughout the day as he would walk by stroking the back of my neck sending shivers up and down my spine in anticipation of what he may be planning. When I brought it to him that evening he was surprised at how thick, rough and heavy weighted the collar was. At first he just wrapped it gently around my neck and gave me tugs in the direction he would lead me. Then he would use bondage rope to attach my wrist cuffs to the front hook. On another occasion he would use double ended metal snaps to hook my wrists behind my head.

After seven times of repeat use I tried everything in my power to find something good about this collar, I want to be restricted and restrained, I crave the release of control. But I have had dog collars on that were more comfortable. This item is not for women or men with short necks, it digs into your flesh and pinches the nerve on the back of your neck. This caused me to use our safety word within a few minutes. I have a few years experience with restraints and I strongly recommend a more pliable softer leather.
