SecretPlay - Padded blindfold, 100% polyester, red

One hundred per cent polyester: the SecretPlay padded blindfold is, alongside the feather whip, one of only two references in the brand with a fully published composition. It weighs 15 g and does one thing — it takes away sight. The manufacturer publishes no dimensions, no fastening type and no elastic detail. The reference comes in two finishes.

Why choose this model?

• 100% polyester: a complete composition, published in full by the manufacturer.
• Padded: the stated thickness blocks light better than a simple cloth pulled over the eyes.
• 15 g: as light as the marabou duster, and so forgotten once in place.
• Dimensions not published: only the packaging is measured, at 110 × 240 mm.
• Two finishes: the same reference issued in red and in black.

How to use it

1. Agree a stop signal before putting the blindfold on, never after: someone deprived of sight negotiates badly.
2. Check that nothing presses on the eyeball itself, only on the bone around it.
3. Keep talking: the voice replaces the visual anchor and prevents disorientation.
4. Take it off at any dizziness, nausea or feeling of pressure, without discussion.
5. Air it after use and let it dry flat before storing.

The chain and marabou handcuffs add immobilisation, and the 20-feather tickler makes direct use of the loss of sight. See also starting BDSM safely and choosing an accessory for two.

Care and precautions

Polyester takes a hand wash in warm water, without bleach or fabric softener, dried flat in open air — no tumble dryer, as the padding foam distorts. This blindfold touches the area around the eyes: wash it between people, and do not share one that has been worn by someone with conjunctivitis or any eye irritation. Do not combine it with restraint on a first session: two deprivations at once is one too many to begin with. Remove it at once for dizziness, nausea, eye pain or any feeling of suffocation, and seek medical advice if visual discomfort lasts after removal.

Frequently asked questions

What is the composition?

One hundred per cent polyester, per the manufacturer. One of only two full compositions in the brand.

What are the dimensions?

Not published. Only the packaging is measured, at 110 × 240 mm.

Does it block light completely?

The manufacturer states padding without specifying how much light it blocks. Check at first fitting.

Can it be washed?

Yes, by hand, in warm water, dried flat. No bleach, no tumble dryer.

Can it be shared?

After washing only. It touches the area around the eyes.

SoPigalle tip: put it on with the eyes open, not closed. A blindfold fitted over closed lids turns out too tight the moment the eye moves underneath, and it is that friction, not the pressure, which makes a blindfold unbearable after an hour.
