When I first opened this there was a feeling of how menacing restraints could be. However, it is very soft which made it more inviting. The straps are the perfect length and the Velcro functions well. The face mask does cover so no light can come in. This makes a feeling of complete surrender. Setting up the mood we had a hot bath and a quick massage as we knew what is in store for both of us. You may want to start slow and just make sure your partner is comfortable. Put a pillow under their head and get all things sorted. Even set rules if you like to make sure things don’t go to far. But with trust you may not even need this.

It really isn't for the super advanced. But that is the whole idea behind a beginner's kit. The cuffs do have some flex in them so even if you are tied down it isn't a full restraint type of feeling. Looking at how it is constructed on the cuffs they use stitching which seems to hold up well. Tying it up under the bed or to 4 bed posts is simple. Simplicity in the Velcro cuffs is also nice as there are points where… well… they just NEED to come off.

For a two beginners getting into this bondage kit we had to be very trusting with each other. We had an old pair of handcuffs which... are bulking and yes they do hurt. Not quite into that painful stuff. As noted earlier this type of restraint is not for the pros. So it lives up to the title for beginners. When we put it in the wash it came out just fine which is helpful on those crazy nights. It wasn't broken or overstretched as some products can be when they go through the wash. Overall a great starter kit! Bring in your favorite other toy for each other and go at it!

Bringing additional toys to combine with this restraint was fun! I'm looking for sleeves for me but using a rabbit vibrator on my wife while she squirmed was extremely exciting! Get so excited to get on the wagon soon after both of us had our way with each other.
