Subblime - Black leather chest harness, one size

Black leather, one size, boxed: the Subblime black leather chest harness is the plainest of the five chest harnesses in the range. One reservation belongs up front — the manufacturer publishes for this model exactly the same feature list as for the chain model, mention of chains included, which the title does not carry. The two references do differ on shipped weight: 266 g here, 246 g for the chain model.

Why choose this model?

• 266 g shipped: twenty grams more than the chain model, a gap the manufacturer does not explain.
• Leather stated: the material is named by the manufacturer, which is not the case for the silver model.
• Straps only: no metal part is confirmed on this model, so nothing to chime or catch on a fabric.
• One size: adjustment is at the straps; the manufacturer publishes no chest measurement range.
• Boxed: the packaging is stated as presentable, which counts when it is a gift.

How to use it

1. Loosen every strap before putting it on, then take up the adjustment once the harness sits in place.
2. Keep two fingers' clearance under each strap, measured flat rather than by pulling.
3. Check that nothing presses into the hollow of the armpit: that is where circulation runs, not across the sternum.
4. Wear it over a smooth garment or against the skin; fine knits catch on the buckles.
5. Loosen at the first tingling or change in skin colour, without waiting for the session to end.

The chain model adds visible links, and the silver model publishes no material at all. See also starting BDSM safely and understanding materials.

Care and precautions

Leather is not immersed and takes neither alcohol, nor solvent, nor disinfectant wipes: a barely damp cloth, then flat air-drying well away from a radiator. Silicone lubricant leaves a mark on leather that never lifts, which is reason enough to set the harness aside before opening a bottle. This harness is a lingerie accessory, not restraint equipment: its straps are not built to hold against effort. Never sleep strapped in, and store it flat rather than rolled, since leather keeps its creases.

Frequently asked questions

Are there chains on this model?

The title says no, the manufacturer's feature list says yes. Where there is doubt, the chain model settles it.

What size range?

One size, adjustable at the straps. No chest measurement range is published.

What material exactly?

Leather, with no finish or thickness specified by the manufacturer.

Can it be used to restrain?

No. It is a worn accessory, with no stated resistance to pulling.

How does it arrive?

Boxed, according to the manufacturer, who gives no detail of the format.

SoPigalle tip: fit it, wear it twenty minutes, then take up the adjustment again. Leather relaxes as it warms against the skin: a harness set cold always ends looser than at fitting, and the adjustment that counts is the second one.
