It wasn’t long after I started having sex that I found myself blindfolded for the first time. Since my initial experience I've used numerous household objects to restrict vision, including a sweaty practice jersey in a locker room tryst worth remembering, but never actually owned my own blindfold. While I'm all about DIY sex gear, I'm really glad that I now own one I can actually depend on to work without any fuss.

The Silk Whisper blindfold|Blindfold by Leatherbeaten is a beautiful addition to my bedroom. It's black and red with a really attractive dragon design. I have to admit I assumed that for $20 the stitching might be a little shoddy, but this is well made and the embroidery is really well done.

The Silk Whisper is really comfortable, which is always important to me. The back is lined with a plush fleece and an elastic band holds it in place. I love that the elastic band secures the mask without an awkward knot in the back. Of course, the elastic band means this may not fit everyone. I think it is fair to say that one size fits most in this case, but if you're buying this for your NBA boyfriend and his inevitably big head, you should probably buy one that ties in the back!

Besides looking great, this blindfold also stays put so you don't have to worry about your partner peeking. Of course, peeking could lead to punishment, but I should stay focused on the task at hand. Having used homemade blindfolds plenty, I really loved that I was enveloped in darkness completely and able to focus completely on what may or may not happen next!

This attractive blindfold will restrict your vision and in turn heighten your other senses for a night full of fun. The Silk Whisper will keep you in the dark without compromising comfort or style.
