Simple and classic, the Lazy-O collar is perfect for anyone who enjoys BDSM play. It is unisex in design and can be worn by anyone. Both beginners and advanced users will enjoy the classic slave collar appearance and soft leather material that makes it comfortable for long term wear.

The Lazy-O collar is made from high grade leather. The outside is velvety soft, while the inside is unfinished offering a soft raw leather feel. The black matte color of the leather contrasts nicely against my pale skin and does not bleed its color when I sweat, like some other collars I’ve owned.

I really love the O-ring on this collar, simply because it’s attached through a pointed D-ring. This causes it to give off a jingle when I shake my head and reminds me of a little bell. The O-ring offers a range of uses; the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. You can attach a leash to it for some leash play, slip a chained pair of nipple clamps through it for a nice effect, or even clip the wearer to some sort of restraint and hold them in place.

The buckle of the collar is quite nice, but a little heavy. It’s 2” long by an 1” wide and attaches to the collar by a loop of leather held together by a metal stud. It would be awesome if the buckle was lockable with a small loop in the tongue of the buckle. Despite missing that feature, you can still lock this collar by using a larger arch padlock. Just slip it around the tongue of the buckle once you’ve fastened the leather through.

The Lazy-O collar comes in two sizes (22” and 18 ½”) with seven ½” spaced notches, so that you can adjust it to a range of neck sizes. I own the 22” size and on the 7th notch it measures at 15”.

I was a little worried that the leather wouldn’t hold up to rough play because it’s not the thickest. Despite my efforts to tug, twist, and pull it held up just fine. No stretching. No creasing and no signs of any tearing. I was able to wear the collar comfortably all day without experiencing any rubbing from the unfinished inside. The leather did however trap some sweat, but still remained comfortable.

The collar is easy to get on alone or by having someone else put it on. It is a lot like buckling a dog collar, you can’t really mess it up. If you wish to lock it however, it’s best to have someone else do it just to make things easier.

This collar is easy to care for. You can clean it with a little dish soap and a damp cloth or leather cleaner. It should never be soaked in water. I just use my fingers to scrub and rinse it quickly under warm water. After washing/rinsing you can pat it dry with a dish towel to get most of the moisture out of the leather. I store it flat for a few hours until I’m sure it’s dry to avoid any creasing.

To disinfect the collar, it can be wiped with rubbing alcohol.

I’ve only cleaned my collar once, but I’m sure after repetitive cleanings the leather may start to get a little rough, you can recondition it with some leather conditioner to restore it.

Something about wearing the collar enhances my already "I belong to you" and "love me" submissive feelings I have toward my Husband. The little bell like sound it makes when I move makes me feel cute, feminine, and cat like. While I'm not into furry play, the urge to nuzzle, cuddle, and be content are brought out. Needless to say, I really love this collar.
