Chilirose - Brass mask with crystals and satin ribbons

Brass, and the manufacturer names it: rare enough in this category to be said up front. The CR 3755 mask is cut from that metal, set with crystals, and held by two satin ribbons at the sides that let the tension be adjusted. Eighty grams at shipping, and no measurement for the mask itself.

Why choose this model?

• Declared material: brass, named by the manufacturer, which is far from the rule.
• Adjustable satin ribbons, rather than a one-size elastic.
• 80 g at shipping, packaging included, in a box 135 by 175 mm.
• Set crystals along the cut, stated by the manufacturer.
• €30: the cheapest reference in this selection.

How to use it

1. Run a finger along the edges of the cut before the first wearing.
2. Tie the ribbons behind the head, without pressing on the temples.
3. Check that the metal touches neither the eyelids nor the bridge of the nose.
4. Do not wear it lying down or to sleep: the metal is rigid.
5. Wipe it with a dry cloth after each wearing.

The Magnifique collar-whip also names its metal, nickel-free, and the Gplug Twist shows what a complete sheet looks like. See also understanding materials and positive sexuality.

Care and precautions

Metal is cleaned with a dry cloth after each wearing: it is sweat, not use, that dulls it. Store flat, chains untangled, away from damp. The exact composition of an alloy is not always published and the nickel-free claim does not appear on every reference: with a known allergy, check the packaging you receive rather than trusting the range, and try it briefly on the forearm before wearing it for long. Metal takes the temperature of the room and surprises on first contact. No permissible load is published: nothing attaches to a fixed point and nothing pulls on the neck. Take it off at the first redness or itching, and seek medical advice if the reaction persists.

Frequently asked questions

Does the brass contain nickel?

The manufacturer does not publish the composition of the alloy. With a known allergy, try it briefly before wearing it for long.

What are the mask's dimensions?

None is published. Only the packaging is known, 135 by 175 mm.

Is the mask rigid?

Yes, it is cut metal. Adjustment comes only from the tension of the ribbons.

Can you see through it?

The manufacturer does not describe the eye openings. Check your field of vision before moving around in it.

How is it cared for?

A dry cloth after each wearing. Brass dulls from sweat more than from use.

SoPigalle tip: run a finger along the whole cut before the first wearing, crystals included. Stamped metal sometimes keeps a sharp edge on the back, invisible from the front, and near the eye is where it is noticed latest.
