ToyTortue.com is Back!

Welcome back guys! It’s been a while, almost to date 8 months since ToyTorture.com went offline due to a cyberattack. In the meantime I did not believe that this little project of mine would actually come back. And now it is done.

First of all I need to thank a very special individual who did what I could not do. He salvaged what was left of my website and brought it back to life. My eternal thanks to him. Over the course of the past few months he stated that he just wants to bring this resource back. So he does not want attribution or a shout out. So in the name of all the visitors of ToyTorture.com: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This brings me right to the next important group of people to thank: You, the loyal readers and fans of this little website. Thank you so much for your support, compassion and offers to help! Having a website like this can sometimes be emotionally exhausting. A lot of time, work, sweat, love and money goes into this non-commercial, non-profit hobby of mine. But in most cases, I do not get any feedback but impression numbers and reader questions. Getting so many messages of support in such a dark hour showed me that ToyTorture.com matters and makes an impact. That my work is not in vain. Thank you so much for that!

While the website with it’s vast archive is now online again (and with all the legacy links still working!), it is far from perfect. In the process of recovery apparently some things in the WordPress have been broken. They are minor design things which I will fix in due time. For the time being, I am just happy that I now have my resource again to reference to while answering questions to improve your kink and sex life.

The website comes back at the most unfitting time of the year. Usually around this time I am going on summer hiatus for BDSM summer camp in the USA, Folsom Europe and the early fall holidays to return in October. And since plans have been made and vacations been booked, do not expect any new content or design improvements soon. But once I return mid-October you can look forward to reviews of

– A hand full of Regulation and Fetters Impact Implement

– My House of Basciano M4 and other bondage gear by him

– Both an antro and realistic dildo set from Mr Hankey’s Toys

– Oxballs Ball Stretcher

in addition to some articles I have been preparing (For example a Kinkonomics piece how in this economically difficult times, which gift with purchase are the best to retain customers for kink shops).

So, if you want to keep up with my the latest updates and my kinky life, follow me on Twitter, Instagram or Bluesky! Great things are in the making and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Best,

Mr Fuckin’ ToyTorture – Jedi Butt Plug Master

How to Upgrade your FM12 to work with the VAST Breathing System

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self-breathplay. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, the is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please just never do it alone!

Ever since I introduced the VAST Breathing System here and showed the Upgrade Kit in the Unboxing, I was asked how to modify an existing AVON gas mask. It took my some time to secure another AVON gas mask because I did not want to mess with one of my old ones. For photo, play and collection purposes I wanted to keep them in their original state.

A couple of weeks ago I have bought an AVON FM12 at UK eBay and had a friend bring it over into the EU personally. I would not recommend shipping a gas mask from the UK into the EU because they can be considered armaments. This can get you into serious troubles.

In this article I show how to upgrade an FM12. But it should basically work the same way with an S10. For good measure I also show at the end how to switch the net to the VAST Head Harness made out of superior latex.

Please do not be puzzled if the pics sometimes show modifications I will explain later in the article. In the process I made some dumb decision and figured out that it would make sense to do other steps first. So the steps and pics now come in the best order in my opinion.

Important: In order to work with the VAST Breathing System – like with the Rebreather – there as to be a unidirectional airflow inside the mask.  So DON NOT REMOVE THE ONEWAY VALVE on the intake port! This is a major different to modifying your gas mask for directly attaching rebreathing bags!

You start with removing the cover of the air outtake.

Then remove the net from the back so you can easily access everything inside the mask.

Next, carefully take the drinking tube and then the respirator mask off.

On top of the air outtake unit runs a metal ring. Carefully remove this ring with the provided too. Be extremely careful because when you slip you can damage the rubber. Small dents close to the opening are not an issue because the hardware you will put in is a bit large and thus will cover the area.

Once you have removed the ring, you can now take the entire unit out.

Now you have to remove the speaking valve by removing the ring around it on the inside. This is best done with long-nose pliers. If you want retrofit your gas mask later, be careful not to damage the ring. I managed to break it. Again, be careful not to damage the rubber.

To prepare the gas mask for the mounting insert, warm the rubber around it with a hair dryer in order to make the material more flexible.

In order to fit the mounting insert, put the female thread through the front hole, hold the male threaded part at the back and turn the female part until it fits snuggly.

Repeat the same steps starting with heating the area around the hole for the exhalation valve. Make sure that the GM40 port is on the outside. This step is a bit cumbersome because it is quite cramped inside the mask. Now your AVON gas mask is ready for play with the VAST Breathing System – once you have attached the net at the back again.

Alternatively you can replace the net with the VAST’s Head Harness for AVON gas masks. It is made out of their aramid-reinforced Superior Latex and comes in standard and locking variety. For addition fail safe reasons, I chose the non-locking version.

To install the harness, thread the straps through the loops where usually the straps of the next go…

… and secure them using the screw-down rivets. Depending if you prefer a sleeker or more industrial look, put the recess on the inside or outside.

Now the FM12 is fully upgraded and ready to play.

How the additional components of the set perform and why Flashlight has labia instead ass lips is a story for another day and review.

Form: Fantasy dildos
Material: Platinum Silicone.
Colors: Many
Firmness: Soft to Medium
Lube: Water, Oil
Cleaning: Soaking in hot water with dish-soap than use sanitizer.
Safer Sex: Clean and sanitize it thoroughly
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place not touching other toys to prevent damage.

Vendor: Naughty Fox

Ever since I started reviewing silicone anal toys, I have gotten reader questions from Europeans asking for toy makers closer to home. Ordering from the big American players adds high shipping and custom charges. Since your word is almost always my command, Naughty Fox kicks-off a little stroll through EU manufacturer which by no means is intended to be exhaustive.

Naughty Fox’s Fuxi, Aero & Santos

Construction

For years all anal toys I have reviewed on ToyTorture.com have been made out of platinum silicone – or aircraft grade aluminum but that is a different electrifying story. And Naughty Fox fits this premise perfectly. Platinum silicone is the material to get for insertables because it is a 100% body safe – unlike PVC and vinyl. It’s super-smooth surface makes it easy to take and to clean. Simply wash with hot dish soap water, rinse, dry, spray a sanitizer on it and you are ready to go again. This makes platinum silicone toys perfect for orgies. They are quick and easy to clean between partners. A minor disadvantage of silicone is that it must not be used with silicone lube. The silicone oil inside the lube destroys the material. So stick to water- or oil-based lube otherwise the toy surface will get sticky. Silicone has a base stickiness which means it attracts dust like nothing else. That’s for these toys I try a wet look to present them as flit free as possible.

The Vac-U-Lock Hole in Aero’s Base

What makes platinum silicone a joy to work with it that it comes in a wide range of firmness degrees. Naughty Fox sticks to the softer side of the range even with their firm toys. On some toys and sizes they offer split firmnesses, meaning that the base is firmer than the body. If possible I recommend getting the firmer base because it makes riding the toy so much easier. Another great property of silicone is that it takes on colors very easily. You can choose from a range of 24 colors which you can get either in solid, split, swirls or marble pattern.

Other customization options are a Vac-U-Lock hole or a suction cup. Sadly the two options are exclusive. Personally I lean towards the Vac-U-Lock hole. It allows you to mount the toy to a fucking machine, the top can guide the toy more easily but putting a finger inside the hole and there is a ton of different accessories for it – from handles to suction cups. If you primarily want to ride the toy, backing against a wall in doggy position, the suction cup is a better choice.

Minimal Color Bleeding on Aero’s Base

The build quality is en par with the big, established manufacturer: The surface is smooth, no popped bubbles, overly uneven or fraying edges, minimal color bleeding. So from a technical point of view, I can recommend these toys. But how do the perform in the ass?

Playing with Fuxi, Aero & Santos

Let’s start with the looking at the toy I have gotten the most reader questions about, Santos. What is it lately with the big interest in equine dildos?! Are horses the new dogs?

Obviously Santos is a horse dildo of the flared variety. This means that his glans is bloated and expended leading to a wide and dullish tip. Compared to other flared dildos Santos’ glans tapers a little bit and quite shallow. It is far from gradually opening up the anus but better than nothing. The glans rim is textured with small bumps, ideal for turning inside the anus to stimulate this nerve-ending rich body area.

Santos MASSIVE Flared Glans

Below the rim the glans tapers towards the shaft. Only here you can see how MASSIVE the flare is; the flare-to-shaft ratio is a massive 1.5:1! Relatively close to the glans the medial ring is already located. This had the advantage that if you are not a DEEP & WIDE hole, you can still enjoy the plopping the anus makes when bounding on the medial ring. The rest of the shaft is only lightly textured with three lateral veins and a ventral groove. Two thirds down the shaft is yet another cluster of three thin perpendicular ridges. They are perfect for massaging the anus while the flare is locked deep inside. Even at the smaller sizes, this is a pleasure only few will be able to enjoy. The medium already has glans dimensions of 7.5×5.5cm. Taking such a dully tipped toy deep is a huge challenge. So consider the sizing twice when ordering Santos. Yet, with L and XL size, you are approaching life size territory. Equine toy experience friends told me that the Santos comes close to lifecast toys. If this is your thing and you want to experience the REAL struggle of not being able to take a horse dick deep, Santos is the toy to get. Speaking of the real deal: The base is formed by two thick and voluminous stallion testicles for a relatively firm stand.

Santos‘ Medial Ring On the Left

It is hard for me to give a firmness recommendation. Being a flared toy, Santos is extremely head-heavy. In the softer end of the spectrum he cannot stand up and flops around. The firmer he gets, the easier to control. But I cannot imagine taking the glans passed the second sphincter in firm. So the trade off is between usability and takeability. While my Santos has a Vac-U-Lock hole, especially when you want to ride him on your own, I strongly recommend getting the suction cup. It adds a bit of stability and enhances handling.

So again, a final warning: If you are a true, literal hole and want the real horse deal, get Santos. But maybe err on the side of caution size-wise.

Fuxi’s Particular Glans

Fuxi is a similar story yet on a completely different level. The glans is bulgey ring around the tip of the shaft with a little cusp standing out (if you are a biologist and can tell me the right terms, please write to me). While the cusp helps aiming and anchoring the toy inside the anus, the dull and bulgey “glans” makes entry not really difficult but different. There is a slight, stimulating “plop” when the dildo finally enters.

The body consist out of four big oval and long-drawn bulges. Two very subtle veins run over them. These cavernous bodies have their apex on quarter down the insertable length. Then they taper again to the glans diameter above the knot.

Fuxi’s Demanding Knot

The knot is HARD! The spheres attached to the body are flattish so they do not gradually open up the anus but coerce it open. Furthermore the Shaft-to-knot ratio is 1.5:1 (seeing a theme here)  but the shaft right above knot-to-knot ratio is an absurd2.5:1! If you do not want your hole to get completely ravished the advice “Ride the shaft and rest a bit above the knot before knotting.” is brutal! Allowing your hole to tense up again will make the experience so much more eye-popping.

The advantage of the brutal knot it that once it fits it sits. The knot locks well into the hole and needs some force (and relaxation) to come out again. Especially when the lube dries up and the hole tightens again, this leads to an intense experience. The shaft below the knot is about one fifth of the entire insertable length. So Fuxi can comfortably stay inside for extended periods of time – if it wasn’t for the thick, round and sturdy base.

Fuxi’s Textured Shaft

It is hard to reach a verdict regarding Fuxi. Through the complex shape, it has much to offer for the eager novice. Twisting the shaft inside the hole is an interesting experience, the plop going in a nice sensation but not so challenging that it is gate keeping. Also, especially in soft firmness the four cavernous bodies will compress easily enough to go in swiftly and give a nice feeling of expansion and fullness once inside. But the knot is most definitively not for novices! It is one the top end of intense knotting! So it is a toy to grow on which will take time to reveal his full potential to a novice. For experience players who like it hard and textured, go for Fuxi! It is a great addition when you are from the school of hard knots and texture.

Finally, Aero. It is rare that I misjudge a toy from the pictures and order it in the wrong configuration. But with Aero this is the case so let me tell you about my hybris…

Aero’s Tapering Glans

Aero starts out with a nicely tapering, pointy and slightly dullish glans which opens up the anus. There is a prominent yet rounded glans drop for a nice anus stimulation. The body has a roughly octagonal shape and tapers towards the bottom. It is textured with scales that form little pointy tips on each corner. What sets Aero apart from every other scale textured toy I have encountered are that the edges are not as rounded as on other toys but as straight as it goes on silicone toys.

Being a texture junkie, I confidently ordered the Aero in firm because the firmer, the more the texture is felt. But Aero’s texture is so much more intense, especially because it is focused on the corners that riding him is a challenge and not for every day. At least when you buy him in firm! In soft he is probably a nice wavey massaging and the focused sensations on the tips will be delightful when turning him while fucking a hole. But unless you are an absolute anal masochist, I would not recommend getting him in firm!

Where to buy?

Since all Naughty Fox toys are custom made, you can only order them from their website.

Thirsty Ho Ho Ho Christmas Tee Ornament

It is only 6 days till Christmas Eve! So the time for elaborate custom gear gifts has somewhat passed. To not end up empty handed or just a bleak gift certificate, here are some last minute recommendations.

Last year fetish pin manufacturer Master of the House started a line of limited edition Christmas Tree ornaments with one ornament per year. Luckily, Regulation in London still has both last and this year’s: 2021’s Thirsty Hohoho featuring a sexy boy Christmas and this year’s Naughty & Nice with a blindfolded sub. They are great to bring a little naughty sparkle into your Christmas Tree, to hang in your home office window or to add a little something to an otherwise dull gift certificate. To kink up a gift certificate, you can put it in one of Spacepup Silver’s funny yet kinky Christmas cards.

A Selection of Spacepup Silver’s Kinky Christmas Cards

Speaking off Spacepup Silver: Him being so into campy and shiny stuff, I am actually surprise that he has not started making Christmas ornaments of his own yet. If you like his style Regulation sells all most his entire oeuvre as a writer. He takes accurate but always humoristic looks as different parts of the scene like rubber or pup play. So if you want to gift that special hardcore fetishist something funny and educational, check out his works.

Get Fucked Up Poppers Pack

Finally, something almost all kinksters cannot have enough in stock: Poppers, the perfect present for perverts. Surprisingly, I often get asked “Where can I get poppers in good quality?” Since the store where I shop only ships locally, take a look at Twisted Beast Poppers. Personally, I had most fun with their Fag and Holy Water, an avid bator friend unsurprisingly swears by Bator. But since everyone reacts differently to different kinds of poppers, gifting a multi pack to find out which works best for the lucky recipient might bring joy to him, his play partners and thus hopefully you for the dark winter months to come.

Set of Leather Daddy Beauty Products

Being a fresh looking kinkster can be hard: Late night parties are followed by early brunches, too much poppers at Sunday fisting martinees before a presentation on Monday or the packed schedules of four days at Folsom Europe can take it’s toll. And I haven’t even started to talk about age.

Being gay, most of us have our beauty routines and preferred products – including me. But what if there were products made and developed by a kinkster for kinkster. Leather Daddy Skin took up this task and developed a line of high end beauty products for men.

The Leather Daddy Cum Rag

The products take care all the essential body parts from hair over face and beard (surprisingly, they don’t offer a shaving soap and after shave for those who trim their beards – yet) to the torso. While their first products were quite traditional, they recently introduced flavored body scrub. So if you ever wanted to combine body worship with shower sex and a taste experience, this is the way to go. For more “conventional” intimacy, combining their massage oil with a cumrag would be a nice stocking stuffer.

The Leather Daddy Cologne

One of their latest products is a cologne which combines the sexy scent of leather with other masculine notes. I tried to get a whiff of it before writing this but living in bumb fuck nowhere in Europe… Well. A friend of mine is using it and he says it’s combines elegance with a kinky twist so I take his work for. At least the bottle looks really cool nice and would be equally at home a bathroom or a dungeon space.

I have already created my own personal wish list for when I make it back to the USA (so not kinky SPA for me this Christmas). So in the meantime it is up to you to support a small business of a community member and thus make a good friend – or youself – glow and shine even more.

Different Sizes of Kinky Window Ornaments by HimBroFF

What do gift a kinkster who has everything? Kinky decorations! But big art pieces and digital commissions can eat into the budget and are very common. When you are looking for something unusual which doesn’t break the bank, this is for you.

The Small Ornaments can be Worn as Earrings or Key Fobs

HimBroFF on Twitter, a Manchester fister, makes small art pieces in the style of stained glass windows but with kinky motives. From almost spiritual to more than explicit, from pride flags to kink symbols to express your desires, he covers a very wide range of themes. The sizes range from 87x125mm up to A5 so you can choose how noticeable your new bathroom window or cage bar decoration is going to be.

A nice feat is that these art pieces are not actually made out of glass but a polymer and resin blend which unlike glass does not break. This way even when there is some rough play in the dungeon the are safe when they fall down. This also enables objects like key rings with pride flags to be made out of it.

The key rings start at 7.50£ which are also sold in pairs to use as earrings and the window art is between 20£ and 150£ depending on the size. You can order them via his Etsy shop.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer I – Cuffed Leathstraints

The Cuffed Leathstraints

Only four Sundays till Christmas! This mean the pre-Christmas season starts in Germany and each Sunday another of the four candles is lit on the advent wreath. It has become a time-honor tradition that on the four Sunday leading up to Christmas, I give a little hint what to gift fellow kinky fuckers.

The Different Connectors of the Toolbox Bundle to Attach the individual Leathstraints to each other

Almost exactly two years ago, I reviewed the Cuffed Rubstraints which I liked a lot. The wide restraints with solid metal trim and Segufix locking showed that they mean business! They are perfect for complete rubber bondage and look great on pictures. But to be frank, beyond that, I rarely use them because rubber has its limitations and needs a lot of care compared to leather.

All Leathstraints from Head to Toe

So I was very excited when Cuffed introduced their Leathstraints earlier this year. The same design and functionality I knew from the Rubstraints but made out of leather: Still Segufix locked, still with the awesome stainless steel gates to connect the restraints with each other. The range covers almost the entire body from basic wrist and ankle cuffs over a collar up to biceps and thigh restraints. Just a waist belt is missing.  There are connectors in different lengths available.  Prices start at 199€ for the collar and 209€ for basic restraints; the connectors cost between 37.90€ and 74.90€. There are different bundles available which are still on Black Friday sale if you are quick.

Being made out of leather they are a bit pricier than rubber. From the pictures the leather and stitching look high quality. But since leather is a very different material than rubber, I have to play with these in person for an educated opinion.

I really would love to review them because I do not have any Segufix-lockable leather restraints in my playroom (#ToyCollector)! So, if you want to gift me something for Christmas, the Leathstraints Head to Toe set along with the Toolbox connector bundle is something I would very much appreciate.

Unboxing Additional Components of the VAST Breathing System

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self breath play. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, there is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please just never do it alone!

In June I unboxed my MASSIVE order of the VAST Breathing System. It is a cool system, but did not really work with my already modified FM12. Way back in 2015 I modified my gasmask to allow rebreathing with two bags so air flows in and out through both sockets. So I asked the guys at VAST if they could develop a screw-in one-way valve – and along the process ordered some other new stuff from their line.

So this is my highlight of the order: A hose with an integrated one-way valve!

This way I can finally use my already modified gasmask with the breather system. Of course, I could have used the Upgrade Kit for AVON respirators but at the moment I am still having a hard time “sacrificing” one of my few, valuable S10 or FM12 to modify them so heavily.

Second highlight is the Switch. As the name says, it is an easy to turn switch between two air intakes. This is a really useful addition because now I can quickly switch between clean air or forced sniffing/ bubbling/ air reduction.

Like all larger elements of the Breathing systems it comes in a cool wooden box with foam cut-outs for easy storage. Included is silicone grease to keep the mechanic smooth and plastic care. Speaking of plastic, this is from the “new”, final production run which comes in dark, matt plastic instead of the blue one my early adopter parts were made out.

There are also two new sniffing or poppers toy out there. The larger one is the Vaporizer. Like the name implies, it is like the Vaporizer with Switch just without the switch. With this toy you are forced to sniff the odor continuously. The container is large enough to hold a jockstrap or dirty sock too.

The smaller one called Inhaler features an interesting design of air inlet and diffusion holes below a GM40 thread. It can be easily attached to any gas mask with 40mm thread but the short tube is also perfect for sticking your nose in for easy, low risk inhaling. The perfect combination in my opinion is attaching it to the Medical Face Mask with a Mask Splitter. Just push it into your (or your bottom’s) face and the person below will only inhale the vaporizing fumes from the container.

The last items are “housekeeping”: For very complex setups I needed an additional T– and Y-splitter. And hoses! You cannot have enough hoses when playing with this system. Currently I am still in the middle of the reviewing process and I am not sure you need more of shorter or longer hoses. But with hoses in 42cm, 38cm, 30cm, 26cm, 21cm, 20cm, 18cm, 14cm and 9.5cm lengths you should be covered regardless how you play.

The review will probably follow in the second half of September. So watch this space when you are interested in this kind of play.

Wine Rack Vertical as Dildo Storage

Einen Kommentar hinterlassen

Life is what is happening while you make other plans. For the start of the new review seasons, I planned a very different post. But on Friday while cleaning up the playroom I tweeted about a simple new addition: A wine rack to store realistic dildos. This simple, quick & dirty tweet sparked SO much interest, that I decided to write about the apparently topic of interest.

I have bought a wine rack for soft, realistic dildos mostly from SquarePeg. Due to the size and soft firmness, they do not stand up or fall over easily. Lying down they take up a lot of space so I was looking for an ergonomically and economically storage solution which I hope to have found in this wine rack. As you will read it is far from perfect yet until now the best solution I have come up with. If you have a better one, please get in touch!

For

For easy cleaning and to avoid reaction between potential surface treatment of wood for example, I was looking for a plastic wine rack. This particular one is from mDesign and I ordered for 23.99€ off Amazon.de. I chose the light grey over the black one because at roughly 55€ the black was way more than I would spend on such an item. And since I indeed to put it inside a metal IKEA Hyllis shelf, the color actually fit.

Silicone is a very sticky material (flint on toy pics anyone?)! Unlike wine bottles, the dildos will stick to the rack, making rather the rack more than the dildo. Because of this I used zip ties to fix the rack to the shelf. This is far from perfect, does not stop all movement but in the end is sufficient. I briefly considered Velcro ties instead of plastic zip ties but neglected the idea for easier cleaning of plastic ones. There were very fancy and sleek racks out there. But since they do not have even improvised anchor points as my new one has, I did not buy them. Before you chose a rack, make should you have a plan how to connect the rack to the shelf in which it stands.

Especially soft silicone creases easily. Since I have bought this rack primarily for me SquarePeg toys, I accept that due to the weight of the toys and the edges of the rack and the zip ties, they will get creases. Most silicone toys will get creases over time (like when throwing a bunch of them in a bucket during play), but if you want to keep your toys in perfect mint condition this storage solution is not for you. Because of this wine racks made out of bent wire at the front and the back are not suitable! The entire weight of the toy will rest on these two small points which will then dig deep into the material. Also, the toy will slack and stick to the toy below making them impossible to pull out.BeinBeing a wine rack, it is also only a solution for roughly cylindrical toys (aka realist dildos) roughly the diameter of a wine bottle (up to Ø80mm) without too big base that aren’t too long. Just for fun I put a Mr Hankey’s Toys Lampwick Uncut XXL (too long, base blocks slot below), a Bad Dragon Terra XL (knot it too big, base blocks surrounding slots) and a Bad Dragon Austin (knot is too big and to heavy so it has to be balanced not to fall out) inside it and I think you see the problem. This is especially annoying since while Terra stands very sturdily on its base, the first and the last toy can almost only be stored lying down, taking up a lot of space yet are too big for the rack.

The same accounts for plugs! An Oxballs Pig-Hole XXL just fits into the rack; a Pig-Hole FF is too big already. The Topped Toys Gape Keeper fits up to size 100 or the SquarePeg Acorn up to L. But due to the stickyness, it is considerably easier to just store them standing upright in a shelf than storing them vertically in a rack like this one.

This is my wine rack fully stacked with head-heavy realistic dildos. As you can see, the bases overlap making them a bit difficult to pull out. Also, unlike on a shelf the top cannot see the dildo so he has to know which base belongs to which dildo. So this solution is far from perfect! But it is a huge improvement over trying to balance the dildos standing up and a number of them falling out when just grabbing one.

I hope this little review/ guide help you make up your mind what is the most effective and accessible storage for your dildos. Because after all: A toy you cannot reach easily will seldom be used!

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please never do it alone!

I have known VAST (formerly Demask Dortmund) for almost 1 ½ decades. It is where I have bought my first rubber surf suit, where my sling is from and the owner and founder made the technical drawings for the bondage capable bed I am still sleeping in. Jens is not only a truly kinkster at heart but also a creative engineer who comes up with all sorts of new and horny designs. Half a year ago he told me about a system designed to make breathplay easier and safer. Since a lot of you guys are interested in this kink and I have ignored the review requests due to security concerns, I was instantly interested in it.

1 ½ weeks ago a BIG parcel arrived with a mix of final and pre-production elements of the VAST Breathing System. All elements are compatible with standard 40mm GM40 NATO gas mask accessories like hoses or filers.

Since not all elements were finally packaged, there might be some difference of what is included in a particular product. To be sure, please check the linked product page. Also, during the test production, they noticed that the black polymer was not as sturdy as they desired. They switched to another one which only comes in a cool looking dark blue. So if you are looking for an all-black aesthetics, this is not for you. Under “typical” blue or red playroom lighting, the dark blue is almost indistinguishable from black.

The heart of the VAST Breathing System is the Rebreather. Like all elements it comes in a nice wooden box with heat-embossed technical drawing of the product on top.

The Rebreather is a switch which either lets fresh air into the system or create a closed-loop rebreathing system. For the closed system either attach a standard breathing bag, a Breath Reducer…

… or the Capsule Injector.This is a T-piece with a 6l breathing bag on the one side and a male 40mm NATO thread on the other side. At the bottom is metal screw-in N2O injector. A standard N2O capsule roughly fills 6l thus the size of the breathing bag. If you want to store the toy inside the wooden box, there is space for 24 standard N2O capsules so you can keep the supplies along with the gear.The Capsule Injector also comes with an adapter to attach medical breathing gear.To scent and flavor the air you breath, there are three options. The first is the Bubbler which allows you to breath through a liquid like piss for example. It comes with a 1l bottle.

If you want to enjoy the smell of sox or underwear, go for the Sniffer.

It comes with a 1.5l…

…and a 4l container with a Ø100mm lid so you can easily put the scent carriers inside and retrieve them.

The final option is the Vaporizer.

This is again an easy to turn switch which should be placed between the air-intake of the gas mask and every other breath play accessory you want to add to your setup.

To add the vapors there is a small canister with a 70mm thread into which poppers drenched cotton is placed. Like on the Capsule Injector, there are five spaces to store poppers bottles inside the box.

To use all these toys, you need a piece of gear which covers mouth and nose and has a GM40 ports. The sleekest solution is the combination of a Medical Face Mask combined with the Mask Splitter and attached to the head using the Head Harness made out of Superior Latex.

More elaborate are of course gas masks. For the iconic Avon S10/ FM12 VAST created an Upgrade Kit to turn the standard respirator into a breath play toy.

First there is a stainless steel tool to easily take out the front insert (next week I will post a short How-to use it).

This is replaced with an air-tight  front insert which echos the look of the original. The center can be screwed off and replaced with either…

… tunnel inserts for face fucking with 40mm, 45mm or 50mm internal diameter (if you are more well-endowed, you are out of luck since there is no more space) or…

…. A holder either for a Fleshlight Classic of Fleshlight GO.

Finally, there is a new exhalation valve to enable a closed breathing circuit.

If you do not have an Avon S10/ FM12 gas mask, VAST offers a FM12 with an attached hood.

For connecting the different accessories with each other, VAST offers hoses in 12cm, 15cm, 22cm, 40cm and 42cm length.

To keep everything in place, VAST makes small belts out of their aramid reinforced Superior Latex. They are designed to attach the different gear pieces to their Superior Rubber Y-harness.
