DJ and I enjoy quite a bit of BDSM play|World of BDSM play. I am personally into making most of our gear at home (belts, zip ties, bungee cord-you get the idea) but I could not resist the idea of having one kit made for me. So, I ordered the Hog Tie set by Whipsmart|Hog tie.

Now, assembling a DIY hog tie is no easy feat, so we welcomed the opportunity to just strap up and roll.

No such luck.

DJ is the natural dom, so he set about his task of applying these restraints. The neoprene was comfortable, and he applied the ankle cuffs with no problem. I was geared up and ready for a good thrashing, but my mood was very suddenly altered.

DJ leaned over me and strapped the first restraint around my thigh.

SHHHHHHPT

That is the sound velcro makes when you pull it apart. The cuff would not secure.

SHHHHHHPT

Again, it pulled apart.

We kept trying, ad nauseum, only to be graced with that noise over and over.

Now, I am NOT a big woman. Curvy, yes, but not overweight. I have very muscular legs and the straps meant for the thighs did not fit completely around my hamhock. They would barely touch, secure for a second, but as soon as I flexed my hamstring, it popped open. We moved it a little lower on my thigh, but the hog tie effect was lost. Good restraints|The play arsenal of BDSM should be easily released, but still allow you to struggle a bit without popping open. I was not a happy girl. The scene would have been over, but DJ rigged some of our own stuff up to it and made it work. Good thing we are creative.

We can find some way to use this puppy, but I have to say I was disappointed it couldn't make me squeal without adding a few extra straps.
