This is a great starter kit for newcomers to the world of teasing, light bondage, and a little bit of pain mixed with pleasure. Previous to buying this set, my wife and I used a makeshift blindfold (a scarf/bandanna) and metal handcuffs I got as a gag gift. After this kit I'm not about to go back.

The blindfold is very comfortable and you can't see anything out of it. The handcuffs are very easy on the wrists. The leather is nice and soft and has a real sensual texture to it. They're set up to cuff your partners hands together but we've been using them a little differently. We separated them and used a thin rope to tie each wrist to a bedpost. It's nice because you still get the soft leather on the wrists, but get more of tied down/helpless feeling.

On to the 'tickler.' Now this is a great toy! We've used this more then almost any other toy we have. Lightly drawn across the body it will drive you insane, especially when you're blindfolded and don't know where it's going next. On the flip side a little flick of the wrist and it'll give you a sensation you won't soon forget! We've definitely brought the tickler out by itself and it can stand on it's own. We're not huge into bondage or BDSM but it is always fun to change things up and this kit is great for that once in awhile. This is a great start to see if it's for you or not, after that...

As far a maintenance and care go for any of these toys go it pretty simple. You should only need a damp cloth with a little bit of mild soap. Make sure not to soak the leather as that will ruin it. Wipe it down with the cloth and let it air dry.

The first time we used this set, my wife blindfolded and cuffed me then just left me there while she 'set things up'. By the time she got back I was going nuts. After she was done dragging the tickler all over it felt like my skin was on fire. What I didn't expect was the candle wax that followed. Not knowing what's coming next made all the difference. Needless to say I got her back, but with ice cubes!
