The Strict Leather Premium Locking Collar arrived from Uberkinky in some discrete packaging, no chance of anyone knowing what was inside. My husband even sent me a text asking what it might be and he knew it was coming.
It was also wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap to protect it whilst it was in the post.
The collar itself had very minimal packaging. It had a plastic sleeve with a cardboard label attached confirming that it is and who it is made by.
How the Strict Leather Premium Locking Collar Looks
The collar is made from top quality leather which has the feel and smell that all good leather has.
The leather is stamped with the strict leather logo so you can be sure that this is the real thing, I like the way that this stamp looks on the collar.
It is quite a thick collar (2.25jnches/5.75cm) and has 3 lovely shiny D rings attached to it with some nice silver studding to hold them very securely in place.
This is also quite a long collar at 61cm from end to end.
How the Strict Leather Premium Locking Collar Feels
The collar feels nice; the leather is good quality and feels right for the product.
The back of the collar is flat and smooth. It is also designed in a way that means that none of the metal is pressing against the skin. This is especially important if you are like me and have an allergy to nickel as it means that there is no chance of you having any kind of reaction to the metal on the clasp.
The collar’s thickness means that when it is secured it does restrict your movement slightly; laying down with the collar on is awkward at first because of this.
As this is a locking collar the buckle has a loop on it to allow you to slot through a small padlock if you wish, this will then prevent the person wearing the collar from being open it and remove it.
During Play
I found the collar a little tricky to put on myself so I had to get my partner to help me with it.
The way that the fasten works ensures that there are no metal parts pressing against your skin with it is closed.
As stated previously this is good if you have a nickel allergy but it does make the collar feel a little chunky whilst you are wearing it.
The D-rings are very useful they allow you to attach your partner to any other cuff or clamps that you might have. The D-Rings are very securely attached and feel like they would take a lot of wear and tear before the collar would start to look worn.
The Strict Leather Premium Locking Collar is quite thick and during play this does mean that when it is secured it does restrict your movement slightly. Moving from sitting to laying down with the collar on is awkward because of its thickness.
Overall
I really like this Strict Leather Premium Locking Collar, it is a little larger and thicker than other collars that I have but it felt right when it was worn, the real leather has a lovely smell and feel to it, the metal doesn’t touch the skin meaning no allergy issues and the leather soon warms up when it is worn to make it feel lovely.
I would recommend this collar to anyone who is interested in D/s play and wants something for play, I wouldn’t personally wear this out and about as a fashion item as I feel it isn’t very practical for day-to-day work, for playtime though the D-rings and lockable buckle make this perfect.
