If you have a smaller scrotum, this will be perfect for weighted CBT play. It can work for tugging with fingers and leashes, but the chains do not appear to be capable of standing up to any hard jerking or pulling. So be mindful of this when purchasing
Typically a parachute is used for ball stretching (in my experience as a domme). However, this one in particular has such a small hole that I don't even see how it would be feasible. The hole for the balls to go in is a little over a half an inch in diameter. I could not use it on my sub unless I left the first button unsnapped on the inner ring of buttons. I don't think even a man with a small and thin pair of balls could fit comfortably into this device, and while it is not designed necessarily for comfort, it would cut circulation off I would think.
Never-the-less, I will at least discuss how it is supposed to be used. The parachute is typically used three ways. The studded front of the leather typically faces up, and the balls are snapped into place in the hole. Then the chains have a ring at the bottom that they all attach to, you can either pull it with your finger for some CBT, weight it with clip on weights, or attach a leash to it for pulling as well. The leather itself is well made and the over all idea behind it is great, but unless you have ridiculously tiny balls, chances are this one won't fit. There is a large parachute at Eden too, which I think would be more suitable for CBT (Cock and Ball Torture).
The design itself only has the flaw of the sizing of the hole. The chains are sturdy for CBT, though the clips that attach it to the leather are a little flemsy. I wouldn't think they would last very well over a span of time, but I could be wrong. Obviously this is not designed to take a ton of abuse, but to just hold weights and stand up to tugging. I would not recommend heavy tugging or jerking because the chains probably won't hold properly.
The entire piece is a combination of metal and leather. The leather piece is about 6" around, and over 1.5" thick. It offers a little bit of adjustability, but only to go tighter than I mentioned. So I would say this is not for anyone over average size. It is extremely small and I'm not 100% sure it will fit even small guys.
I could not actually put this parachute to use because it would not fit any of my male subs. All of which are average to large size scrotum, and therefore I can only assume this will work better on small men. The idea behind it was great but the sizing is terrible. I expected it to be normal sized or at least fit some of my subs. I didn't realize it would be so small. It basically will fit my index finger through the hole, and that's a tight fit after my second knuckle. I'll definitely be getting a larger one because I do love parachutes, but the sizing on this one was a little misleading. I read small, and I assumed incorrectly. The picture looked decent sized for an average male. It could just be that all of my men have huge balls. I'm not sure.
This is leather and metal, and can be stored virtually anywhere without worry. I recommend trying not to get the leather wet, of course. Should any sort of mess get on the leather it can be wiped off with a wet soapy towel and patted dry. If the leather ever looks dull and aged, it can be polished with leather polish. As I mentioned before, easy to take care of.
It came in a clear plastic baggy, no instructions or information. However, typically with BDSM toys you already know what it's for and how to use it when you're buying it. If not you can generally find out by looking up the toy on EF. I mentioned the uses for this toy previously, and I will say it's not a discreet toy, and with the packaging being see-through, it is quite obviously not discreet.
I obviously should have looked into sizing more and thought about getting a large parachute for play, since this one was quite accurate when titled "Small" studded parachute. It certainly is small. I would like to point out that weights are not included, nor is a leash of any sort. I only mentioned those as options other than pulling with your finger that a parachute can make great use of.
Follow-up commentaryI've started to like it more4 months after original review
I've filed away some of the leather at the hole, there's not a lot to file, but I've filed what I can. I also don't button it all the way on the snaps, and I've been able to use this that way. It's still a tight fit, but with the filing, I've been able to make it work. The chains don't hold weight as well as I'd hoped, and are indeed flimsy. When put to the test, the little clip and ring tries to break. So this works for pulling and tugging at the chains, but I've found that attaching weight doesn't work. None the less, I use it as a warm up device for CBT play
