I have a confession, I have absolutely no problem achieving the elusive G spot orgasm. Now, as a general rule I avoid them even though they are 'all that'. "Why?" You ask with a wounded expression, Well I'll tell you. It's messy, seriously icky, I don't want to sleep in the wet spot afterwards, messy! So I have been soaking my towels or holding off for years. When I heard about the Fascinator Plush Throe I was intrigued. Would this be the answer to my prayers?


The throe, nope it's not a typo it's actually spelled this way, measures roughly 60" by 54" so it doesn't entirely cover my queen size mattress but it is close! This means I no longer have to stop in the middle of feeling the delicious build to orgasm to reposition the towel so I don't soak my mattress pad! The throe is made of a very short pile, plush microfiber in vibrant purple or black. The microfiber is backed by a silky satin in eye-popping hues of purple, red or onyx. The microfiber isn't terribly soft or fuzzy but the satin is very sensuous. Between the microfiber and satin is a waterproof lining that crinkles and rustles a bit disconcertingly when you first get it unfolded. This waterproof lining makes the blanket a bit stiff and slightly less comfortable than a decorative throw.
Waxed thread is used in the stitching; which is even, tight, and finished beautifully. There are no loose threads on this throw. All the edges are knotted to prevent raveling even through the wash.


At first I was a bit skeptical that this was going to stand up to abuse, so to speak. I spread it across my bed and then stood admiring the purpleness. Seriously, the color of this thing is AMAZING. It is a deep, rich and bright microfiber with a lighter but sill vibrant purple satin. It fits my queen size bed from side to side, and from the foot board to just under where my pillows sit. This is plenty of room for us to stretch out and still protect our sheets and mattress.
When I laid down on it I was a bit non-plussed because I was expecting it to be soft and, well...plush. Instead, the throe was a bit stiff and only slightly fuzzy. Still it did feel pretty good on naked skin and it warmed up nicely. The real test came when I was able to let loose and actually have one of those world shaking orgasms I have been suppressing. I got up gingerly when we were done afraid to see the mess that we had made and there wasn't any mess at all! There was a damp area but it was neatly caught by the waterproof lining and my bedding was bone dry underneath.


We cleaned ourselves up and crawled under the blankets leaving the throe folded at the end of the bed. Now, folks, our bedroom is cold! It is not insulated in any fashion but that night our toes were actually toasty warm. This throe is amazingly warm but slippery if you put the satin side down on the bed. Use it satin side up and you will be snuggly warm if the crinkling doesn't keep you up all night!
The next morning Sigel mentioned that we 'should really clean the throe and was it able to be washed?' I read the tag and assured him that it could be machine washed on cold cycle and dried on low or no heat in the dryer. Serendipity!
After taking it out of the dryer I had to hug it and sniff it cause I am silly that way and I love our dryer sheet scent. Imagine my surprise to find out it was about twice as soft as it was before washing and the crinkling was almost gone. It's like the material that makes up the waterproof barrier softened and relaxed in the wash.
Washing didn't affect the waterproof property of the throe, it repelled the sweet and sour sauce my son dumped on my computer chair just fine! The Fascinator saved my berber carpet from being ruined by bright red sauce, so it's already paid for itself.

OK here's the scoop: The more you wash this baby the softer and less crinkly it gets! It doesn't lose any of the gorgeous color, nor does the stitching ravel and look awful, the darn thing just keeps getting better the more it's used. It can sop up just about anything from sex fluids to baby pee. Yup we even used this when my son had a pretty awful rash on his bum and when he peed the throe didn't allow a single drop to get on my bed or carpet. We simply bundled it up and threw it in the washer!
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars and add a few hearts to the I STILL like it.
