Leather Body Style Femme - Body harness, 510 g

510 grams: the Style Femme is the heavier of the two women's Leather Body models in the catalogue. The manufacturer publishes exactly the same description as the Corps Exposé's — fully strapped, one hundred per cent adjustable, sizes S to XL. What separates them comes down to two figures: eighty grams of material and a flat parcel of 485 by 400 mm, against 530 by 235.

Why choose this model?

• Fully strapped construction, in the manufacturer's wording.
• 510 g: eighty grams above the Corps Exposé.
• Flat parcel of 485 × 400 mm, a far larger area than the other model's.
• Description identical to the Corps Exposé's at the manufacturer.
• Sizes S to XL stated, with no chest or waist measurement given.

How to use it

1. Lay the piece flat before putting it on, to work out top from bottom.
2. Set the waist first, the chest next, the neck last.
3. Keep two fingers' clearance under each strap.
4. Check that nothing presses into the hollow of the armpit.
5. Loosen a notch if a strap marks after twenty minutes.

The Corps Exposé comes down by 80 g in a narrower parcel, and the Chaîne model rises to 605 g. See also understanding materials and starting BDSM safely.

Care and precautions

Leather goes neither in a machine nor under a tap: a barely damp cloth, saddle soap if needed, air-drying well away from any radiator. A piece dried too fast hardens and cracks, and nothing softens it afterwards. Store it hanging rather than folded. The manufacturer does not publish what the metal parts are made of: with a known nickel allergy, test at the wrist before wearing it for long. On wearing: two fingers' clearance under each strap, nothing pressing into the hollow of the armpit, and since no permissible load is published, this harness is worn but does not hold — it never serves as an attachment point. Loosen at the first tingling.

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from the Corps Exposé?

Eighty grams and a far wider parcel. The manufacturer's description is identical.

Why is it heavier than the Corps Exposé?

The manufacturer does not justify it. Weight and parcel area are the only published gaps.

Which size should I take?

A range of S to XL is stated, with no chest or waist measurement. Measure yourself and check the adjustment on arrival.

Can it be worn over clothing?

It is designed to be seen. Under thin fabric, the straps show clearly.

What material is it?

Leather. Neither thickness, nor tanning, nor origin is published.

SoPigalle tip: eighty grams more leather, on a flat parcel almost twice the area, points to a piece that covers more. Between the two women's models, what it comes down to is covered surface, not a better finish.
