If you were looking for good, comfortable rope, then this might be your product. The Japanese silk rope is 35 feet long, a soft braided rope that will not chafe except under the roughest of circumstances. This product also comes with a free blindfold, which, while cheap, is very good at blocking out light. The rope is very good for binding your partner, or creating kinbaku bindings (Japanese rope bondage, usually in patterns creating a karada, or "rope dress"), and is surprisingly strong enough to be used for suspension. This could be used for beginners who want to make sure they have enough rope, to advanced users who are interested in taking their bindings to a whole new level.

The craftsmanship of the rope is a bit shoddy at the ends, with the tips being bound by only removable silver tape. The silk feels very comfortable, but the dye is easily discolored and the rope attracts a ton of dust and hair. If you let the tape come off the ends of the rope, it will unbind easily.

The rope did work well for kinbaku on myself and restraining my partner. The rope does what it's supposed to do, but it's not intended for much use outside of the bedroom because of its appearance and its uncanny talent for attracting dust, dirt, and hair.

Keep this rope in a place that has no lint, dust, dirt, or hair. I find that storing it in a dark, usually unused drawer.

If you're looking for something comfortable, this is a good bet. If you're looking for durability and utility, anything else would be better.
