Les Petits Bonbons' Blind Passion Mask isn't just great for sex; it also works well as a sleep mask, especially for short naps during the day, when you need to block out the light. I've been using it for both, and I love it. The mask is black and polyester and feels satin-y to the touch. The inner side of the mask feels soft against the face, and the outer side is covered black cursive words such as "bliss," "fantasy," "happyness," [sic] and "love." The words, to me, seemed a little cheesy. I would rather have just a plain mask, or even just a design on the front, but in the heat of the moment I honestly don't think the words will be much of a problem.

The strap that holds the mask on is elastic and stretchy enough to fit around some big hair or a big head. My partner has dreadlocks, and he had no problem putting on the mask, though he found it more comfortable to place the strap under his hair. I found the elastic comfortable when used for short periods of time, up to a couple of hours, but when I try to wear the mask to sleep at night I always wake up in the middle of the night to take it off, as it feels a little restrictive. The mask itself is 3" wide and 7" across, and it feels like the weighs next to nothing. One size fits most.

The mask doesn't block out all light, which can be problematic when using it as a sleeping mask, and you can see out the bottom, around the nose area, if you're looking down. But it is capable of blocking vision if you keep your eyes straight ahead. Having never been blindfolded before, I found it exciting during foreplay to not be able to see what my partner was doing. It seemed to make each sensation more maddening, especially when being teased. He wore the mask as well and enjoyed it just as much. I would recommend this mask to couples just starting out with blindfolds, like us, as it's not intimidating at all. I would also definitely recommend this mask as a nap aid, as I've used it a lot for this purpose and it has helped me fall asleep faster and sleep better.

The blind passion mask doesn't have a bad smell, and there's not much of an issue with cleaning it, as it only touches the eye area and a bit of the forehead and upper nose. If you have any issues with acne, however, you may want to wash it after use, especially if you work up a sweat while wearing it. You can wash it with your delicates and hang it to dry; since it's so small, it should dry in no time. If you toss it in the dryer, just be sure to put it on the lowest setting, as polyester can melt at high temperatures.

As for the packaging, the blind passion mask is attractively packaged, making it a great gift idea. The box it comes in us super small, striped and black with the "Les Petits Bonbons" logo on it. Another box slides out of the first one, and it's beige with a hole cut out so that you can feel a piece of mask. The blind passion mask would make a great gift for a bachelorette party or as part of a sexy-themed basket.

I still use this nearly every day for napping, and I feel incredibly rested afterward. My partner and I have still been using it every so often during sex as well, and the sensations while blindfolded haven't dulled any from multiple uses. I would still recommend this for couples looking to spice it up or individuals looking for a sleep mask.
