Heart 2 Heart cuffs  

1 comments


The first thing that I noticed about the Heart 2 Heart cuffs is that while they are still made of the same high quality leather as the whip, collar, and the blind fold, they are lacking the cute hearts. I still find them to be sexy with the solid red against black, it also makes them a little more gender neutral in my opinion.

They are 2 3/8" wide, which is only a tiny bit bigger than other cuffs that I own, but since these are leather and not very flexible they seem a bit big on my wrists. The cuffs fasten with a metal buckle and have 7 holes, half an inch apart. They should be able to comfortably fit on wrists from 5"-8" around. My wrists are 6" around and on the third smallest hole they are still a little loose on me, but not loose enough for me to escape.

Each cuff has an attached D ring so that you can easily add a cuff connector or bondage rope to secure their wearer however you please. There are 10 studs holding the two pieces of leather securely together, 8 of these show through on the side that touches your skin but they are not noticeable. The inside of the cuff is not lined but the leather is nice and smooth so it is still comfortable on the skin, although the D ring does make a small protrusion in the leather which could hurt if the cuffs are too tight.



Whether if you are a beginner or more advanced with bondage play, or if you just want to complete an outfit, the Heart 2 Heart cuffs would be a nice addition to any collection. Yes, I said complete an outfit! One of the things that I like the most about these cuffs is that I can wear them out, or even just around the house, and they look good. My husband likes this too, because he can randomly grab me and cuff me to something without taking the time to fasten the buckles!

Now, even though I enjoyed wearing them around I actually found that I prefer the softer Velcro fastening cuffs for rougher play time. Since we are new to restraints, the leather may just be something that I need to get used to. They didn't hurt my wrists, but they still aren't as comfortable as the others.

We haven't been overly rough with them, and they have not shown any wear. I'm sure they would stand up to a lot more than what we have out them through! They can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry if they happen to get dirty. If you would like your own paid of sexy cuffs you can pick them up at Babeland!

Heart 2 Heart Whip  

3 comments


For my second Babeland review I was sent the Heart 2 Heart Whip. I had never played with a whip before and wasn't quite sure what to expect. In fact, I will admit I was even a little afraid. I wondered if it would hurt, if I would like it. I mentioned to a friend that I was getting a leather whip and he said he thought I would look good with a whip.


Up until that point I had only been imagining the whip being used on me, but when thoughts about being the one wielding the whip came to mind I started getting excited. I am normally the passive one. We have what we jokingly call the pecking order in our group of friends. My husband is the Alpha Male, there are easily a few in our group that are more submissive than I am but you could still say I'm down there. Wielding the whip and standing my ground sounds pretty fun at this point!



The wooden handle is six inches long and the black leather is decorated with the same cute hearts as the Blindfold. It is 1" thick and fits very comfortably in both my husbands and my own hand. There is an attached D ring at the end of the handle which I have been using to hang the whip on my wall above my bed, but it could also be used to attach a wrist strap or hook on to whatever BDSM outfit that happens to have a place to clip it to.

The 22 falls are 14" long, 1/4" wide and 3mm thick. One side is smooth leather like the handle, and the other side is softer like suede. Since I have never used a whip or a flogger before, I only knew what I had read. I was expecting them to spread out on impact, but they really didn't. They all seem to stay close together, and while we get a nice loud crack on impact we had no pain. Yes, it stings a bit but in a gentle pleasurable way, for me at least!

My husband didn't like the whip as much as I did, either being the giver or the receiver but hopefully I will be able to get him to warm up to it some more. There is only so much fun a girl can have spanking herself, but with this whip that is possible! It looks nice, it feels nice, it's well made and you can buy your own from Babeland at a good price!

Wishful Wednesday #16 ~ Heart 2 Heart Collar  

0 comments


So I have gotten a little lazy on my Wishful Wednesday posts, but this one is the perfect addition to my Bondage Week's theme, especially since I am reviewing pieces that match it! Would love to add the Heart 2 Heart collar to my collection soon! Can you imagine how many lingerie sets, or even regular clothes would match perfectly with this collar?

Funny story - I actually requested this collar for review and got a different piece of the set instead! That review should be up later today, check back to see!


Update: Wish granted! Thanks Babeland! ~ Review coming soon

Heart 2 Heart Blindfold  

3 comments


This will be my first review for Babeland here on my blog, since I already had my eye on the Heart 2 Heart leather restraint set which I had seen up for review that was what I chose! We have very little experience, but a lot of desire for bondage play but I knew from having a good friend who was a pro dom that having a good blindfold (or a few!) was a must.

The Heart 2 Heart Blindfold is made out of high quality leather and the inside is lined with a soft suede. They are thin, flexible, and adorned with the cutest red hearts across the top with red stitching around the edges. Like many other blindfolds, they are held on by an elastic that goes around the back of your head. I had a wonderful father from whom passed the gene on to me which gave me a "big head" and this elastic is pretty tight on me. Not quite so tight that I can't use it at all, but after a while it does start feeling too tight and I needed to take it off before it gave me a headache. Since I'm a woman, a man with a big head might have even more problems with this.

My husband on the other hand, has a skinny little head that goes along with the rest of his body and the elastic didn't bother him at all. What did bother him though was the leather pressing into the bridge of his nose. It pressed into my nose too, but the tightness of the elastic bothered me more so it was the first thing that I noticed. My nose is also smaller than his, and I think it is possibly pressing into his more than mine.

The blindfold is pretty effective at blocking out all vision other than a sliver at the bottom which is excellent for sensation play, and sensory deprivation. It's amazing the difference that blocking out your vision makes! A blindfold can be used to tease and tantalize, by not allowing you to know what's coming next and can also prove useful while simply relaxing or meditating.

It may not have worked out the best for me, but I really love the black and red hearts featured in this set. It is truly gorgeous and well made. I'm thinking it may be possible to stretch out the elastic enough that it won't be so tight on me but I haven't tried since I don't want to ruin it. If you need to clean this, you can gently wipe it down with a damp cloth.
