Subblime - Leather chest harness with chains, one size
Subblime - Leather chest harness with chains, one size
Black leather and visible links, one size: the Subblime leather chest harness with chains puts metal at the centre of the design, where the plain model stays with straps. One oddity the manufacturer does not explain — it is stated at 246 g shipped, 20 g less than the model without chains, and its published feature list is rigorously identical. The metal itself is not specified.
Why choose this model?
- Visible chains: metal catches the light and moves with you, which no strap on its own does.
- Leather stated: the material is named by the manufacturer for the straps, with no thickness given.
- Metal unnamed: no composition is published, a point to check where an allergy is known.
- 246 g shipped: the lightest of the five chest harnesses, chains notwithstanding.
- One size: adjustment at the straps, with no chest measurement range published.
How to use it
- Untangle the chains flat before putting it on: a twisted link pulls crooked once the harness is worn.
- Loosen the straps, put it on, then take up the adjustment to two fingers' clearance.
- Check that the chains hang free and do not run under a strap, where they would mark the skin.
- Warm the metal in your hand for a few seconds before any contact with the chest.
- Loosen straight away at any tingling, numbness or mottling of the skin.
The O-ring model trades the chains for a single fixed metal piece, while the large-chain model takes the metal further. See also starting BDSM safely and understanding materials.
Care and precautions
Leather and metal are not cared for the same way: a barely damp cloth on the straps, flat drying, never immersion or alcohol; a dry cloth on the links, since moisture stays trapped in the joints. Check the links and the joining rings before every wearing — a chain always gives at its thinnest part. The manufacturer does not name the metal: where a nickel allergy is known, run a short test on the forearm before wearing it for long. A lingerie accessory rather than restraint equipment: no resistance to pulling is stated.
Frequently asked questions
What metal are the chains?
Not published by the manufacturer. Caution where a nickel allergy is known.
How does it differ from the O-ring model?
Same leather: several moving links here, a single fixed piece there.
Do the chains make noise?
Free links chime as they move. The manufacturer states no damping.
What size range?
One size, adjustable at the straps, with no measurement published.
Can the chains be removed?
Nothing indicates so. Treat them as part of the harness.
SoPigalle tip: never put it on over tights or a lace piece. A fine thread caught in a link runs in a second, and the damage cannot be undone.
