As far as the spectrum goes for who could use this toy, it's not the most insane CBT device out there, but it's definitely a step beyond whips and handcuffs. Practically, there are no alternative uses that I can think of for this toy, so it's pretty much strictly for men. If you are looking for something that you can attach some insanely heavy weights on, this isn't it. The metal o-ring isn't sturdy enough for that.

This is the first parachute we've owned, so I don't have much to compare it to, but to me, it did what I expected it would do. It made my sadistic little heart happy. The leather was a little thicker than I expected it to be, and it was a little stiff, but with time it will become more pliable. The snaps stay snapped well, and with the two sets of snaps, I would imagine it would fit almost everyone. My husband did say that it was a little uncomfortable, but after the leather got softer, it might not be.

It seems very well made, as long as you understand that it has limitations. It's obvious that it's not going to hold a ton of weight, because the chains and o-ring have gaps in them and aren't welded together. So if you put enough weight on them, they will separate. We are new to CBT, but I was able to put enough weight on it to make my husband squirm and not worry about the o-ring. It still looked like it was in perfect condition after we were done.

I didn't know what to expect from this, really. We had never owned one and don't have much experience with CBT. But I do know that this parachute pretty much did what I would have imagined it was for. To explain further: Basically, you pull the scrotum down, wrap the leather around, and snap it securely. The chains then hang down below, making the leather part look like a 'parachute' (Aha!), and then you can attach weights to the metal o-ring, which pulls on the scrotum. The sensations can range anywhere from pleasure, to slight discomfort, to pain.

A quick rinse, or wipe down with a wet cloth will take care of cleaning this. As far as storage goes, just make sure that you put it somewhere where there isn't a chance of lube leaking on it or anything like that, that might ruin the leather.

It really didn't have any packaging to speak of. It just came in a clear, unmarked plastic bag.
