I just got Fetish Fantasy Series Japanese silk rope, by Pipedreams, in the mail today. I was a little disappointed when I opened the box. This feels like cotton, not silk. I'm not 100% sure that it is cotton, but it doesn't feel like silk at all; however for the price, it's rope and you can't beat it.

If you are new to rope-play or just want to try it out for the first time, this is a good rope for you. If you have used it before, you should keep looking for a better rope; maybe REAL silk rope. Being this feels like cotton not silk, I am not sure how well it will hold up on chaffing. I have yet to use this for any rough play, but I have not had any issue with it.

Also, I was disappointed to see that the "metal" end caps are not metal at all. It is just silver tape and is not even on there very well. After taking it out of the box it was already peeling and it wasn't cut right since the ends don't even line up. If by chance it does come off, you will want to get some tape on the ends, so it does not unravel.

Having said that, this is a nice soft rope. It comes in a few different colors (purple, black, red and pink) and it comes with a blindfold. It's nothing special, but just a basic black blindfold that DOES keep light out really well!

I got the purple to go with my homemade under the bed restraints that I love! I had to get something to match it! The color is actually very close to what I made the restraints out of so it's perfect!

Here's a few things to keep in mind. This rope is 35 feet long. If you want longer buy 2, but you CAN NOT make it shorter! The way the rope is braided and it WILL come unraveled if you cut it.

I've used this a few times since getting it and it's great. I would love to get some more soon in different colors!
