(REVIEW) Bound to Please Neoprene Restraints from Good Vibes

Most couples have tried a pair of handcuffs in their bedroom activities… or at least most of the couples I know. Whether they are metal cuffs, furry cuffs, or just a nice long silky sash, most of my friends that I talk with about this sort of thing have at least tried it once. I was recently given the opportunity to review the Bound to Please Neoprene Restraints from GoodVibes, and I jumped on it!

The kink lab neoprene cuffs that I received are pink in colour. They are also available in black. I chose the pink coloured cuffs because I feel that the colour makes them much less intimidating. The price of the cuffs is $14.00. With that in mind, I did not expect much as far as quality goes… but let me tell you, the quality is superb.

The cuffs are packaged in a plastic box. There are no care instructions on the cuffs or in the box, so you’ll have to keep the packaging if you want to have the care instructions on hand. To care for them, you must hand wash the cuffs in warm water, and let them air dry. They are extremely easy to clean, and the cuffs dry quite quickly.

To be completely honest, I had no idea what “neoprene” was before receiving these cuffs. So, if you have no idea either, I’m going to fill you in! Basically neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is washable and safer for those who have latex allergies. The neoprene is extremely comfortable and soft on the skin. This is important, especially if you are new to restraints. The last thing you need is a pair of metal cuffs that will make the wearer very uncomfortable (and most likely never use them again).

The cuffs are adjustable by Velcro to fit smaller wrists, to larger wrists. Being able to adjust the cuffs to the appropriate wrist size is extremely important, especially when you are looking to maximize comfort for the wearer. Because these cuffs can be adjusted, they can also be used for ankle restraints if that is something you are into.

The cuffs link together with metal claw-style hooks. These hooks are industrial strength, and very, very thick. The cuffs will not detach from each other, regardless of how heavy your play is. I have tried similar cuffs, but the quality was garbage. I have never seen such strong hardware on a pair of cuffs, especially not cuffs at this price. No matter how hard I tried pulling this apart just to prove a point, I couldn’t.

The metal claw-style hooks are also nice to have on the cuffs because they can be attached to any restraint products you may have, or plan on purchasing. A really good example of what I am talking about is the bed restraint system at GoodVibes. The hooks allow for attachment to items such as this one.

Would I recommend these cuffs? Absolutely. I’ve listed the reasons why this product is now one of my favourites below.

I'd highly recommend these cuffs because:

• the price is ridiculously amazing
• you are not sacrificing quality for a low price. These cuffs are high quality!
• they're easy to maintain and care for.
• the hardware on these cuffs are the best I have seen so far
• available in both black and pink colours
• the cuffs are non-intimidating
• the cuffs have hooks that allow you to use other restraint products with them
• they are adjustable to fit your wrists, regardless of their size.
• they are comfortable
• the hooks rotate so that the wearer will not become uncomfortable with the cuffs twisting the wrong way

 Rating:

An absolute 5 out of 5. I have yet to see a pair of cuffs that can compare to both quality and price of the Bound to Please Neoprene Restraints!

Got Hysteria? No Problem! The Doc Will Touch Your Crotch and You'll be Cured!

Of course, this was back in the Victorian era... Hysteria is no longer recognized as a medical diagnosis nowadays. So if you were hoping to get some lovin' from your doctor, please do not go in claiming you have Hysteria.

I had not heard of this before reading information about the new movie, "Hysteria" that was recently shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, and is a retelling of the invention of the vibrator. Yes, I said it, VIBRATOR.


The movie, which I seriously cannot wait to see, is a sexy, fun, informative comedy. I think every women should go see this. Sure, men should see it too.. but if you are a female, definitely put it on your to-do list. 


For some reason it has become socially acceptable for a man to talk about "getting off" but if a woman talks about self-pleasuring, she should be ashamed of herself. How ridiculous! If it feels good, there should be no shame!


Anyway, you should check out some of the antique vibrators in the vibrator museum over at GoodVibes. They provided images from their museum of vibrators for the movie Hysteria. Some of them look funky, and others are just downright SCARY. Take a look at this one from 1904:

No, that is not a dentist drilling machine, it's a vibrator for women back in 1904. 

Though I haven't tried a vibrator from GoodVibes YET, I'd have to say that the Secret Buzz Remote Bullet vibrator has the potential to bring me to HYSTERIA! 

So, will you be going to see Hysteria? What do you think of the story? Do you think it will have a positive impact on women? Tell me your thoughts!

(SHOPPING) When You Are Looking For Better Prices on Adult Novelty Items...

Please note: The website I discuss in this post is NSFW (not safe for work) as there is nudity on the website.

Jaylee’s Market wants to help you “get in touch with your wild self”, and I cannot stress this enough: THEY WILL. Jaylee’s Market is an online adult novelty shop, which carries products that cater to everyone. Whether you are the shy romantic, or the naughty freak- they got you covered.

Yesterday I had contacted customer service and received an immediate response. For anyone who has every contacted a customer service rep (regardless if it is for an online sex shop or not), you know that it can take up to five business days to receive a response. Being an impatient person myself, that really annoys me. I was extremely impressed at the short response-time that customer service provided at Jaylee’s Market… but that is not the only thing I was impressed with….

When you arrive at the homepage of the website, you’ll see the “Monthly Specials” listed. When I seen the prices of those items, I kinda cried a little bit (out of happiness). I figured that the sale prices were good, but I was so sure that the rest of the items would be overpriced. I was so wrong! In all honesty, a lot of the prices are actually a lot less than other websites I purchase from frequently. I’ve seen more than a few items that I own, that I paid almost double for at competing websites. Damn! Why didn't I find you sooner Jaylee's Market!? *shakes fist in the air*

Here is a quick price comparison between a product from Jaylee's Market vs. Babeland (a website I am not affiliated with). This is just one example of the deeply discounted prices, and these are regular prices people! I am not showing you items that are "on sale" at the website. This is everyday pricing. That is the beauty of it all!

The product price comparison is for the Clone-a-Willy vibrator kit.

Over at Babeland, the product is $42.00 which you can see HERE.

Then we have Jaylee's Market, and the price is only $30.25 HERE.

Almost a $12 difference for the EXACT.SAME.PRODUCT. Crazy huh?

Anyway, as I mentioned in the beginning of this post, the variety of products offered is fantastic. They've got the more subtle, romantic products like the Love Essentials kit by Kama Sutra, and then they have some wickedly freaky things that I cannot even mention here on my blog because I try to keep it safe-for-work (but if you are not at work and want to check them out, take a look at these toys). If you are not a super naughty freak (Don't worry, I'm not either), but your also not a sensual-only type of person, you'll still find products to meet your needs. One thing I think is really cool about the site is that they have accessories like corset styled purses, and Egyptian-looking arm bands. That type of stuff can be worn out in public! I love it!


Alright, so I've told you about Jaylee's Market amazing customer service, the ridiculously amazing pricing, and the wide variety of products. Still need some convincing? Let me do another comparison of shipping prices.


For those of you who may not know, I live in Canada. Canadian shipping rates from American-based websites are disturbingly over-priced. Whenever I see the shipping prices at check-out, I cry a little, and no, not out of happiness. 


I am going to compare Jaylee's Market to Babeland again because I have no affiliations with them.


The lowest price for shipping over at Babeland, for Canadians, is $18.50. You can see their shipping chart HERE. $18.50? Lowest? Seriously, what the eff?! If you spend $100 over at Babeland, they're going to charge you $30something dollars (you can see this on the chart as well).


Now let's compare to Jaylee's Market shipping. For Canadians, shipping is $14.80 flat-rate for up to $100 worth of products. That is already cheaper than Babeland....But wait, there's more! Any purchases over $100 at Jaylee's Market, you will get FREE shipping. You can check out the shipping information HERE.

So while the other site is going to charge you $30+ if you spend more than $100 on their website, Jaylee's is going to ship to you for free. 


Why am I telling you all this? Well to make it simple.. If you did not tell me about a great website like this, I'd be mad.


With all of the information I've provided, and comparisons I've done, it's obvious which website will get my business between the two, and I hope it's helped you to make a better decision as a consumer as well.
