The Sash Restraints come in what can only be described as a sealed cardboard envelope which has some of the classic Sex and Mischief branding, once you have opened it up and removed the restraints the envelope will not reseal, I have continued to use this to store them in but I really think that they would look better draped over the headboard as a permanent fixture, always at hand but unlike other restraints which are clearly that, discrete enough not to raise to many eyebrows. If they matched the color scheme in our bedroom I know that I would leave these out all of the time (yes I really am that bothered about a color clash). These sashes are available in other colors but I was sent the red ones for review.
In the pack you get 2 Sashes, both of which measure 4 feet in length and are about 5inches wide, the hemmed all of the way round and cut on an angle at each end, this gives them a good quality look and feel, and also prevents them from fraying and starting to look tatty with time and use.
The Sash Restraints feel nice and soft to the touch and the length makes them ideal for use for either attaching to the headboard (or whatever you want to attach your partner to) or tying feet/arms together, either way there is plenty of length to be able to make a good tight knot. The width of this ribbon means that when you tie these the knot is not going to shrink down to an impossibly tight knot that you are unable to unfasten again.
The Sash Restraints also make a fantastic blindfold, the width and color of the fabric meaning that if wrapped around the eyes it is almost impossible for you to be able to see what is happening. I find that blindfolds add a whole new dimension to play, the anticipation of now know what your partner has planned next is great for both people involved. The fabric is nice and soft and even when it is tied tightly it doesn’t feel uncomfortable.
These Sashes are a lovely introduction into restraints for a couple who are new to it, or a great discrete addition to a collection for those who aren’t.
These Sashes are so discrete that I can see them being something that we pack when we go on holiday, there is no way that these will cause you any problems at customs and as they are light they aren’t going to impact on your luggage allowance either.
We found that the Sashes where a great addition to the feathered nipple clamps and beaded noir flogger which were sent for review at the same time.
Overall we both thought that these Sex and Mischief Silky Sashes where a great addition to our bedroom bondage play, maybe a little tamer than the things that we are used to, but they look good, will travel well and can be left out without raising eyebrows.
