CalExotics Scandal - Bed kit with blindfold and gag

This is the only one of the four systems supplied with a blindfold and an adjustable ball gag, on top of the straps and cuffs. The crossed straps state 363.25 centimetres, more than double the other models, and the cuffs 36.75 centimetres. Universal clasps and O-rings allow position changes mid-session. The CalExotics Scandal Bed Restraint Kit is polyester, with red and black cuffs.

Why choose this model?

• Blindfold and gag included: both sensory accessories are supplied, where the other three systems stop at restraint.
• 363.25 cm straps: the stated length is by far the longest in the range, which widens the mounting options.
• 36.75 cm cuffs: the dimension is published, which allows fit to be checked before buying.
• O-rings and universal clasps: changing position requires no dismantling.
• 264 grams: the lightest of the four despite its contents, and so the easiest to store and carry.

How to use it

1. Agree on a non-verbal stop signal before fitting anything: the supplied gag prevents speech precisely.
2. Set the crossed straps up unloaded and check that a full release takes seconds.
3. Adjust the cuffs to two fingers' clearance, then fit the blindfold before the gag.
4. Always remove the gag first, before the cuffs and before the blindfold.
5. Stay present throughout: someone restrained and gagged can neither free themselves nor call out.

The bed cross stops at restraint, without the sensory accessories, and the bed ties offer a brocade finish and under-mattress mounting. See also starting BDSM safely and choosing an accessory for two.

Care and precautions

Polyester wipes down with a damp sponge and dries flat. The ball gag washes separately in warm soapy water and dries completely before storage, since it goes in the mouth. Combining restraint and a gag calls for greater vigilance: breathing must stay entirely free, supervision continuous, and removal immediate the moment panic, nausea or unmanageable salivation appears. Never keep this setup in place as someone drifts off to sleep, and keep something to cut with within reach.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the box?

The crossed straps, the red and black cuffs, a blindfold and an adjustable ball gag.

How long are the straps?

A stated 363.25 centimetres for the straps, and 36.75 centimetres for the cuffs.

Is the gag adjustable?

Yes, according to the manufacturer. Agree on a non-verbal signal before fitting it.

Why is it the lightest?

264 grams against 660 for the eight-ring model: the straps are thinner despite the fuller contents.

Is it suitable for beginners?

The gag adds a supervision requirement that the other three systems do not impose.

SoPigalle tip: leave the gag in the box the first few times. Restraint and loss of speech are two separate steps, and discovering them together removes the restrained person's only way of saying that the first one is not working.
