Some things make you desire. Some things make you want. Some things make you want. More. Some things make you want more. (Some things make you want a little bit more of them too!)

I want. I want black. I want a white leather leash. I want more submission and bondage in my life. I wanted this collar to ARRIVE, already. I wanted to play with it on. I did last night (more on that later), today I was standing at a pet store and I wanted! I wanted the feel of different leather collars. Found a lovely turquoise leash that I thought might go nicely with white. Then I found a lovely matching leather collar|Luxe white collar! Hmmm. I want. I admit that I tried it on. I'm still thinking of it too, but it wouldn't hold up for games. This collar made me WANT.

This collar is very well made. It's leather, it's padded, and if your hands are restrained, you are not getting out of it. That metal ring in the picture is sturdy stuff, and I would just love to be attached to something by it. I pulled against it several times with my own hands for the feel of it. I loved it. (I did get restrained later, but it was my hands & feet not by the neck. *Big sigh*.) Having pulled in several directions, I know that you can pull against this collar and not injure your neck against the collar itself.

The bad: this padded restraint device is white and two and half inches wide. It LOOKS like a damned neck brace. White. Wide. Neck brace. OK- forget that... Black. This should be in black!

How did it feel? We're back to "I want!" It's wide enough to stretch my neck up slightly, but not uncomfortably. It's thick enough that I was very, very aware that I was wearing a very, very large collar. I felt submissive, I felt like someone else SHOULD be in charge (at least until he asked for advice on...). I want more. I want someone who loves how this makes me feel to play games with me! I want someone to put me on that leash or chain me to a wall. This collar will hold up to a lot of games, and I can imagine them all!

One of them will be to wear it while driving. Just to see what type of reactions I get. I'll let you know about that!

This collar came folded in half. I immediately put it on and felt like I had put my neck into two flat pieces of leather with a crease. After two days buckled and wrapped around my socks it was in perfect shape for my neck, and I didn't notice any creases.

I wore this collar for several hours with a lot of desire building. *I WANT MORE*. Bondage and submission is not really my husband's desire- it's mine. There were a couple hours where we relaxed together with me wearing nothing more than the collar and a thong. Then I was restrained and fucked still wearing the collar. It works, and I loved the feel of it. I loved pulling on it myself.

I have concluded that this collar is designed for serious bondage play. It's not particularly decorative, it is padded like hell. It looks like a damn neck brace, and probably functions like one as well. I spent the day at the Folsom St. Fair in San Francisco today, and for most of it, I was wearing the collar. I was also attached to my husband with a leash! I got "woofed" at! I saw a lot of collars today, both on people and in vendor displays. I saw a handful of people on leashes. They were usually guys being that it was the Folsom St. Fair! My collar was by far the one that screamed "protect the neck" compared to decorative, lovely, servant, etc. It is the only collar out of hundreds that I saw that was actually seriously padded. Except for a few steel collars, the only one that was anywhere near that wide either. It was incredibly comfortable. I started the day with my leash fastened to the side ring. Eventually we switched it to the front as he was leading me more often. I had the collar somewhat loose knowing that I planned to wear it for hours. I'm a difficult little pet. I pulled against my leash, I stopped and wanted to go in different directions, etc. I was pretty entertained, and it took very little for my "owner" to get me to come with him again. The collar did sometimes rotate on my neck. That just helped me to behave. It was so well padded, that too was minor adjustments. More of an annoyance than anything. Later in the day, I found a leather booth, and got distracted. Leather dress, Leather corset and a NEW PURPLE collar. I admit that I wanted to switch. Not because it was uncomfortable in any way. It wasn't even hot or sweaty It just looked so much better. My new purple collar was uncomfortable when I pulled on the leash though. It comes to a point at the hollow of my neck. It's uncomfortable when I look down. Bottom line. Pick your collar for its use. This one will let you get pulled around a lot more. Every other collar that I saw is much more decorative than functional.
