The vanilla bondage kit is exactly what it sounds like...the most vanilla form of bondage that can exist. The kit includes a vanilla scented blindfold and two 55 inch silky ties. The ties are completely non-intimidating, and the blindfold is more of a sleep mask. No one is going to feel a part of the BDSM scene with this kit. It's simply like poking your toes in the pool to check the temperature of the water before you decide whether or not to jump in.

This product will most likely not appeal to advanced users. However, I was drawn to it by the price and the adorable packaging. I'll provide a picture farther down, but the items come in a pint-size icecream package look-alike. Besides, I have plenty of items to spice up this kit when necessary...in the same box that this shipped in, I bought a Sex & Mischief kit. I'm sure that many of the more advanced users have everything from whips to cuffs to clamps to add. Also, there is one alternative use to this that I found, and I think that you should take a peak at my experience section before you make up your mind one way or the other.

The material is nylon. If you're anything like me, you just shrugged your shoulders...nylon? What's that actually mean in terms of use? First of all, nylon is tough. That means that your ties won't fall apart during use. However, nylon also resists oils and greases. So, this kit actually seems to suggest that you go ahead and sweat all over it and use lubricant liberally around it. The color is a creamy white. The blindfold is supposed to smell like vanilla, but honestly, it smells like a Halloween costume being opened for the first time. The smell does go away with a rinse or two. The mask fit on...over or under my ponytail. I don't think size will be an issue here. Also, the ties at 55 inches cover a lot of ground. The only thing that they may not be long enough for is using one tie for both feet and one tie for both hands.

The mask covered a fairly large area around my eyes, and I found that it wasn't easy to peak at my surroundings. The ties could be tied loosely quite easily, but surprisingly, they also tied tightly when necessary. When tugged on, they didn't show any signs of wear or tear. They also didn't wrinkle very easily. At one point, I wore one of the ties as a necktie of sorts (be careful with that one), and I kind of role-played businessman for a minute. This kit really isn't half bad.

This material can be washed in sudsy water. Do not scour. I handwash mine just because I don't like to put ties of any sort in the washer and dryer. I've lost a few pair of drawstring sweats that way. The material also dries quickly, and the products are so small that they can soak in your sink while you bathe. Not to mention that the blindfold doesn't really get dirty in my household. I'm sure some individuals are out there trying blind oral sex (and by this story not aiming well), but I'm not one of them. To each his/her own. When I need to store the kit, I throw it all back into the adorable little container, but it could easily be kept in a small Ziploc.

I really can't say enough about this packaging, so I'll offer up some pictures instead...

So, a couple of years back, I purchased 3 of the Carmen Electra striptease workout DVDs. I followed them religiously for awhile, but then I kind of got burnt out (and my thighs HURT). For some reason, when I saw this kit, it reminded me of a couple of moves in the DVDs. So, I added one of the silky ties to a modified chair dance of sorts, and holy jeez! It was sexy...super sexy. The contradiction of the "innocent" vanilla color and the silky material along with the full on slutiness of some of the moves...Let's just say that I know that pole dancing classes are getting super popular, and even Zumba has gotten a little raunchy at times. I'm sure there is something that you can think of where you might feel the same effects. Enjoy!
