The Liberator Safari throe is just like a blanket you can spread out anywhere you plan on having some fun, and not having to worry about getting those areas messy. Yes it is actually spelled “Throe” and not “Throw.”

The throe allows you to keep things from getting on your bed and other furniture. Things such as lotions, syrup, body paints, massage oils, wax, lubes, blood, semen, water, and your natural juices. Plus, they can double up as blankets, and no one would be the wiser.

The throe has three layers. One side is a beautiful animal print that has a velvety texture, and feels so soft against the skin. This is the side I prefer to lay on. The other side is a black satin material, which is silky smooth to the touch, but makes the blanket slide around a lot. Inside is a waterproof layer that prevents liquids from sifting through. You can put a lot of liquid on here and none will soak through. For some, towels may work just as well, but towels can only soak up so much before the fluids start to soak through.

Judging from other reviews I thought it would be like laying on a tarp but it is not that crinkly. Rolling around on the throe, I barely hear anything, and it is not at all distracting during play. Each time you wash it, it becomes less crinkly. You can wash the throe in the washing machine on cold, and let it tumble dry on low. When that is done, the throe becomes extremely soft, and I just want to sleep on it.

I have a twin bed and the throe completely covers it. It is 71 inches long, with a width of 54 inches, which is almost 6 feet by 4.5 feet. The corners are nicely rounded, and all the edges are stitched very well.

The throe comes all nicely folded in a simple plastic box. You can use the box for storage, or you can keep the throe wherever is convenient for you. You will also get a booklet showing Liberator’s other products, and how you can use them. If you have other Liberator furniture, they should be able to stick to this throe and not slide around.

I just couldn’t resist getting one of these. As soon as I opened the plastic box that the throe comes in, I made a promise to it that we will have many fun times together. No I don’t really talk to inanimate objects but a promise is a promise, right?

If you have cats like I do, a little bit of cat hair might stick to it, but it won’t hold onto every loose particle in the room. I won’t even allow my cats to jump on my bed when I have this out because I don’t want their claws to puncture any of the layers.

I keep the throe at the end of my bed, and everyone who sees it, loves it. A family member even wanted to take it home.

I'm so glad I invested in this throe. The animal print design is just beautiful. I also have another throe, but this still gets a lot of use. It's been through multiple washings, and nothing has follen apart. I expect this will last me for years to come.
