This product is a great piece for beginners into the world of bondage. It is smooth and lovely enough that even couples not into bondage could find this appealing. We have used it for simple binding as well as blindfolds and aesthetic ties. No matter how it is tied, it feels great on the skin. We have absolutely no complaints about the feel and durability of the product - we have even sent it through the wash a few times and it comes out clean and smooth.

If we were to criticize the product in anyway it would simply be its length. It is too short for any complicated ties or full body ties. The pamphlet that the product comes with shows pictures of different bondage ties, including a hogtie - one of the most basic. However, the pamphlet pairs the silk tie with another product in the Black Rose line in order to complete the hogtie. This is just too short to really hogtie anyone unless they promise not to move. It's not very practical. On the subject of the pamphlet, we would like to see more practical examples of ties to use with the product. As it is, the three types of ties that the pamphlet suggest nearly all have a failing if the intent is to bind. The silk is too short for the hogtie. The arm bind is purely ornamental. Only the front hogtie is somewhat feasible with the length of the silk.

None of this is to say that we don't like the product. We love it - especially for the price. We simply wish that there is a longer version. Twenty-four to thirty feet would be great. As is, we will probably go out and buy another one and use them together. If you want to try the waters of bondage, don't hesitate with this sturdy and sexy silk tie.
