Meo Foot Suspension Bonds Deluxe

Vendor: Meo

This is one of the toys Meo kindly sent me for the heavy bondage special. And since I finally got a chance to try the restraints out as a sub Easter Sunday at Quälgeist I am finally able to write the review.

The Front of the Meo Foot Suspension Restraints

The Front of the Meo Foot Suspension Restraints

Construction

The first impression is: They are massive! The body of these restraints is 170mm long. Its exterior is made out of stiff, sturdy leather. Usually I would complain about the cardboard like soulless leather quality but in this case the stiffness is a feature for giving the foot and ankle all the support they need. This outer shell is covered with padded soft high quality leather. While the padding at the instep is a bit thinner and firmer the “cushion” that wraps around the ankle is lavishly thick, almost like a pillow. It is designed that way that if the ankle is not too massive no metal of the many rivets that are use to hold the stiff body in shape even under large strain touches the skin. The padding layout leads to the comparatively robust foot being pushed into the “harder” area while the more fragile ankle is well protected yet without having too much give to allow the foot to slip out of the restraint when fettered properly. The fettering is done by two latgio leather straps with roller buckles. Their holes’ spacing is 18mm. While this is ok due to the thick padding which can take some of the pressure, a little bit finer spacing (15mm hole distance p.e.) would have been better to ensure safe and comfortable bondage. Onto each side of the body a 55mm wide and 220mm long latigo leather strap with a massive welded d-ring is riveted.

Playing with it

Putting these restraints on is no rocket science yet takes a bit of practice: Out the body around the foot, than adjust the leather covered padding. Next tighten the strap close to the foot securely, than the other one. If you don’t want to use the restraints for suspension, you are done now. For suspension purposes retighten both straps so they are just tight enough not to cut circulation. Otherwise the friction of the padding might be to low causing the foot to slip out of the restraints. I recommend putting the restraints on at the place where you want to fetter the sub. Unlike cuff style restraints it is a bit hard to walk wearing these restraints because of the straps onto which the d-rings are mounted.

Once put on you can there are different ways to use these restraints. For suspension I recommend using one carabineer for both d-rings because it causes less swinging. The restraints come with a d-rings but I would strongly advice you not to use it to suspend a sub’s weight from there but use a climbing carabineer instead. These restraints are also great for less spectacular bondage. Because the d-rings straps are an extension of the legs I found these restraints a massive improvement of cuff style ones when tying someone into a spread eagle. The force holding the leg in down is more evenly distributed and works directly against the movement a struggling subs shows. This characteristic and thick padding make these restraints ideal for hogties over extended periods of time. If you soften the d-rings straps so that they bend easily perpendicular to the restraints‘ body the make great bondage means for bastonado. The soles of the feet are nicely exposed and if you have a way to fetter the d-rings tightly they won’t move very much, allowing for precise hitting.

Through the thick padding and long straps, these restraints even fit massive ankles and feet. If you really take advantage of the entire strap length you can even fit feet with boots into them. I tried the restraints with rangers, engineer and motocycle boots and encountered no problem size wise. The only kinds of boots that were too large were motocross and skiing boots.

Finally a word of warning when using them to be suspended from your feet down: Every position facing downward is increasing the blood pressure towards the head. The steeper the angle, the higher it gets. Don’t remain in this position for too long because the fine veins in the head can’t handle the pressure too well. If you have high blood pressure or have used poppers do not get suspended with the head down. Also: The big muscles in the calves and thighs are needed to pump the blood through the body. After it has accumulated in the head and if it rushes back you can have a heart attack!

Fetters Flat Hand Mitts

Vendor: Fetters

The Fetters Flat Hand Mitts

The Fetters Flat Hand Mitts

For a long time I have been looking for a bit more bondage orientated mitts. So I was very happy when Fetters was kind to provide me with these as a review sample.

Construction

The basis of this toy is a 24cm long mitt with a maximum diameter of 10cm thus it is large enough even for large hands (I tried up to a glove size 13). It is made out of and lined with soft leather that has an intoxicating rich smell. On the back and just over the top of the body runs a 4cm wide leather strap which holds the d-ring on top of the mitt in place. Around the opening runs another strap out of saddle leather. Onto this a roller buckle is mounted which can be locked with a locking pin. Besides closing the mitt around the wrist the strap also holds two welded d-rings in place.

Concluding a word on the build and material quality of this toy. I pride myself in trying to acquire only high quality toys or ones with a good value for money. So I do not really have “bad” toys in my collection and thus have pretty high standards when it comes to build and material quality. Yet when I unpacked this toy I was amazed how good it felt! Many other toys which are top notch yet this felt different, better, superior. I can’t really tell why I felt this way because from an objective point of view this toy is not better made than my many other toys from Mr S or Parus for example but it just stood out from other toys.

How to use these Mitts to make an Impro Straight Jacket

How to use these Mitts to make an Impro Straight Jacket

Playing with it

These mitts are designed to put the sub’s flat hand into them and then lock them onto his wrist. Depending onto the palm size the hand can move fairly freely inside. If you want to limit the movement let the sub form a fist and lock another wrist restraint between the fist and the locking strap of the mitts. Once fettered these mitts are great versatile bondage gear. They work just like normal high quality restraints. The d-rings can be used to tie the sub down, which is most fun in a spread eagle because with the top d-rings you can really stretch the sub’s arms. The bondage sensation is enhanced through the nature of being a mitt. He can’t grab anything so even if he wanted to he couldn’t free himself. This mindfuck can be even made more intense with locking the mitts bounding him inescapable into leather. While the d-rings are a good basis for creative and complex bondage setups, the strap the runs along the body to the top d-ring is a good anchor point for rope. A rope top friend of mine used it to run ropes through there which were tied to the thigh. In another setup he incorporated the mitts into a body harness creating an impromptu straight jacket. If you are like me and not good with ropes you can use a bondage harness, feet and upper arm restraints to also create an impromptu all access straight jacket substitute with these restraints.

Because the mitts are not padded there can be circulation problems if you tighten the strap too much. This happens even more often when you use the top d-ring for strictly restraining the sub’s arms above his head.

Detail of the Front D-Ring

Detail of the Front D-Ring

In recent years mitts in a BDSM context have been very much associated with pup play so I have to say that these mitts have quite limited puppy play capabilities. I would not recommend to use them as a paw substitute because putting the weight of your torso onto the top d-ring is quite uncomfortable. For this kind of play I recommend Fetters’ Brown Paw Puppy Mitts or their Padded Fist Mitts. A possible usage of these mitts for pup play is locking the top d-ring onto a collar so the pup has to walk on his elbows. In this case I would recommend elbow pads.

If you look for a less intense bondage experience, take a look as the Fetters Easy Mitts which only have one d-ring at the top and are closed with Velcro. If you want a more extreme experience the mitts I reviewed here check out their Full Sleeve Speedlace Bondage Mitts which can be laced up to the elbow.

HML Leather Chastity Harness

HML Leather Chastity Harness

HML Leather Chastity Harness

Vendor: HML

This design was developed by HML following ideas of a customer who asked for a leather chastity device. While the customer was more than happy with the designs they guys at HML asked if I would give it a test ride to see if it really works. Always eager to try out new and innovative toy designs I was more than happy to comply.

Detail of the Locking Post

Detail of the Locking Post

Construction

The body of this toy is made out of two perpendicular 15mm wide leather straps. They are attached to a leather strap with four rivet reinforced holes and a locking post so the cage can be locked around even large junks. In the middle of the body straps there is a steel ring for stabilization. In sizes S/M it has a diameter of 30mm, in sizes L/XL it has 35mm. At the tip of the cage there is a small d-ring. The overall length for size S is approx. 60mm, for size L approx. 80mm.

All metal parts on this toy are made out of stainless steel so there is no risk of rust or allergy. It comes with a pad lock. Please note that due to having enough keyed alike pad locks I didn’t take the provided one with me. The one on the picture is from my own collection.

Detail of the D-Ring

Playing with it

Putting this toy on is like every other chastity cage. You put your balls between the rear strap and the steel ring with the lower body strap working as a divider. Than place your dick inside the devices and lock the rear strap around your junk in a comfortable yet inescapable setting.

The big question of this review is: Does it work as a chastity device? Simple answer: No, it doesn’t! While it keeps a dick from getting hard to a certain extend from getting hard, he can easily be pulled through the two body straps. This is actually necessary if you want to piss because due to the design there is no piss hole. Being made out of leather the cage isn’t really designed to be worn for extended periods of time under cloths because the constant moisture will most likely damage the material.

Detail of the Stainless Steel Stabilization Ring

So that leaves the question: Is it a bad toy? Not at all! In my opinion is it just named wrong. If you think of it less as a chastity device and more of a dick harness/ CBT device it makes a lot of sense. As a dick harness it can serve as a symbolic chastity device. Due to being made out of soft leather and being quite specious even people like me who have a hard time finding an off the rack chastity device will fit into it. So when going out to the bar as a naked/ or just harnessed slave this device is nifty so show that your dick is off limits. While a determined person can get access to the dick it takes some effort so this dick harness can work as an attention focus mean to keep the hands of the dick when the attention should be at the ass for example.

Detail of the Cage Construction

I spent a dark winter Sunday afternoon with a quite greedy sub to explore the CBT capabilities of this toy and discovered great fun! The initial use it is of cause to torture the well displayed balls. Through the way this cage is put on they are quite tightly tied of and separated so they can easily be targeted separately when hitting. The d-ring up front is ideal for creating quite uncomfortable predicaments. When attaching the cage to wrist restraints tied behind the back or to a pair of connected ankle restraints the sub’s movement is quite limited. Depending on how bruised the balls already are rapid movements can be painful. Since all metal parts are made out of stainless steel they conduct currency quite well. So it is only natural to turn the locking post and the metal ring into electrodes. But please be cautious! Since the mass and the contact surface is quite little the sensation will be quite intense and stingy.

Conclusion: Not really chastity cage but a great CBT toy and piece of leather gear craftsmanship.

Meo Abuse me/ Fuck Me-Restraints

Vendor: Meo

The Abuse Me Restraints fully Assambled without Locks

The Abuse Me Restraints fully Assambled without Locks

I was for some time looking for a restraint layout; I actually was developing one of my own until I discovered this nifty one at Meo’s website. So I was very happy when they send me the toys as a review sample for the heavy bondage special.

Construction

This restraint consists out of four pieces. The basis is a 5cm x 21cm large piece of stiff leather. In the middle is a pin with a drilled hole to house a pad lock. Onto this pin a 28cm long leather strap is attached. The strap has eleven holes with a spacing of 1.5cm for adjusting the space between the balls and the restraints. Onto the far end of the strap another 22cm long strap of soft triple layered leather is attached for being put around the balls or the entire junk. On the one side of this strap is another pin, on the other side six holes for adjusting the size. Left and right of the pin of the basic piece of leather are the rows of three holes each. Through these holes you put the provided wrist restraints. Their outside is made out of stiff leather, the inside is lined with soft a one. They feature a welded D-ring and two pins with drilled holes at the top. In order to adjust the size there are six sets of holes allowing for a diameter between and 4.5cm and 7.5cm.

The toy comes with six keyed alike locks.

Detail of the two Wrist Restraints

Playing with it

Putting this restraint configuration on takes a bit of work: First you put on the wrist restraints and attach them to the rectangular body. Once you have done that you can already use this toy as all leather rigid cuffs. The next step is to put the leather strap either around the balls or your entire junk depending on the intended effect. Putting it just around the balls will increase the pain sensation. The same counts for the last step: Attaching the genitalia to the main body. The shorter the distance between them, the more intense the sensation.

The Toy used as Rigid Cuffs

The Toy used as Rigid Cuffs

As you can tell from the way it is put on the unique purpose of this toy is creating a physical feedback loop between the hands and the balls. This leads to interesting bondage scenarios. The first one is probably stress bondage. Put the sub in an uncomfortable position and watch him wiggle. Each evasive movement with his arms will tug on his balls. This is especially effective when the balls are already bruised. If you are really sadistic you can do what a friend of mine did and put a leather strap with (dull) pins on the inside of the strap around the balls. Of cause this feedback loop works also the other way round. Once the sub has found a somewhat comfortable position, smack his balls to encourage some movement. But also in a normal play situation this method of fettering someone is very interesting. The human body usually try to “work out” pain sensation through muscle movement. So regardless of what you are doing to the sub as soon as he tries to move his arms to help processing the sensation his balls will feel the effect. I found that particularly fun in combination with CBT or e-stim around the balls. The more the sub tries to work out the sensation, the more his balls hurt. What I haven’t tried but probably is forbidden amount of fun is attaching an electrode to the balls and clipping the E-Stim Systems Remote with its movement sensor onto it.

Despite Meo’s product name calling them Abuse Me/ Fuck me restraints this restraint layout is NOT made for fucking, at least when it comes to anal intercourse. The strap connecting the balls with the wrist restraints runs directly through or above (depending on the tension) the ass crack so the sphincter is covered.

Conslusion: Unique and effective combination of CBT and bondage.

Uberkinky Mister B Triple Cockstrap with Dull Pins

Vendor: Uberkinky

This is the second toy Uberkinky kindly send me to still your thirst for info about small and handy CBT devices.

_DSC1551

The Mister B Triple Cockstrap with Dull Pins from Uberkinky

Construction

This toy has a two piece construction. On the one end there is a leather cockring which has five approx. 6mm long dull stainless steel pins at the bottom. At the top there are three snap buttons so it fits even the biggest junks. This cockring is connected to a 9cm long cock sheath. On the inside are three lines with five dull pins each. The sheath is closed by three Velcro straps with which you can adjust how tightly you want to wrap it around the dick. The entire toy is made out of and lined with soft leather.

Detail of the Sheath’s Pins and Velcro Closing Straps

Playing with it

Using the Mister B Triple Cockstrap with Dull Pins is quite easy: First put the cockring on, than wrap the sheath around the dick and fetter it with the three Velcro straps. The interesting part of this process is how tight you close both parts and if the dick is hard or not. Depending on the tightness the pins the sheath are teasing over annoying to agonizing.

The most fun I had with the Mister B Triple Cockstrap with Dull Pins was putting it around a soft dick just so tight that the pins made skin contact. Since my sub had a blood penis it just took some teasing to make his dick hard and thus the pins started to press into his dick. The sensation because uncomfortable, his dick got soft again and the sensation seized – so his dick grew again from the stimulation. I played this game for over an hour and it was great to see him struggle with the frustration of being chased between arousal and discomfort.

Detail of the Cockstrap with Dull Pins

For real hard CBT placed it on a hard dick and start jerking the sub of. The irritation of the dull pins will drive him mad yet most likely will not break his skin. If you want to increase the inflicted sensations connect the pins with silver covered copper wire which you can connect to an e-stim unit. The low mass and small contact area will produce a quite stingy sensation.

The most surprising usage scenario was putting the Mister B Triple Cockstrap with Dull Pins onto a sub as a reminder of belonging to a top but who couldn’t wear a chastity belt. Due to the dull pins it has more presence than just a cockring but it is more comfortable and easier to wear than a chastity cage. Of cause being made out of leather it can’t be worn forever but well enough for a work day.

Shiny Nipple Chain and Clamps

Vendor: Uberkinky

The Uberkinky Shiny Nipple Chain & Clamps

The Uberkinky Shiny Nipple Chain & Clamps

I haven’t reviewed nipple clamps in a long time because I haven’t found a tempting one when strolling through the BDSM stores in Berlin. So when Uberkinky send me the Shiny Nipple Chain and Clamps to review I wasn’t too thrilled but luckily was pleasantly surprised.

Construction

The two clamps are 3cm long and on average 1cm wide. Despite being made out of sheet metal they are quite sturdy and have little flex thus I assume they are made out of some form of steel. Even pissing onto them didn’t lead to rust. The back of one side of the clamps is raised so it is easy to grip and open them up even when you have lubey fingers. The front has the shape of a half circle with a diameter of approx. 12mm. Inside this area is lined with textured black rubber which is hold in place by small dull teeth. The two clamps are connected by 31cm long chain.

You can vary the Intensity with the Space the Clamp grips

You can vary the Intensity with the Space the Clamp grips

Playing with it

I really like toys at which you can see that the person constructing it put some thought into the design. And the Shiny Nipple Chain and Clamps is a great example for such thinking.

Through the shape of the head you can create a wide range of sensations. For an intense sensation put just the tip with the dull teeth onto the nipples, for a mild and intriguing sensation use the entire width and length of head. So I made it a fun game to start out with the entire clamp covering the nipple and slowly pulling them forward as the scene progresses. The spring is only a medium strength I would say. However through the wide and flat surface of the head you can easily add Mawa clamps p.e. to increase the pressure.

Detail of the Grip Enhancing Lining

Detail of the Grip Enhancing Lining

Through the small teeth and textured rubber lining these clamps also stick to the body when the area is slippery through sweat or lube. Since I don’t know from which kind of rubber the lining is made so I would be cautious with silicone or fat based lubes because they could dissolve the material.

However the clever design fails to convince when playing in thicker gear. I found the small teeth a to big risk of scratching leather and rubber (and even ripping it) to squeeze covered skin between the two half of a clamp. Also the spring is too weak to by itself produce too much pressure for any recognizable effect through gear. They are also too bulky with too pointy corners to be worn under rubber. So I would recommend using them on bare skin only.

Conslusion: Well designed and flexible clamps for play on bare skin.

MyStim Tension Lover

Vendor: MyStim

The MyStim Tension Lover

The MyStim Tension Lover

When I introduced the Tension Lover as a desiderate in the e-stim special a lot of you were interested to know more about this inexpensive box. So I got in touch with MyStim and they luckily provided me with a review sample. If you are interested in what you get when you buy this toy please take a look at the unboxing of the Tension Lover I posted earlier this year.

Construction

The Tension Lover is made out of sturdy black plastic. It measures 127mm x 70mm x 27mm. On the back of the box there is a convenient belt clip.

On top of the bock there are two magenta colored dials through which you control the individual intensity of the two channels. Next to the dials the 2.65mm jacks of the channels are located. The upper third of the front is taken up by the display. On the left is shows which program is selected. In The middle you see from top to bottom which channel is active, the timer time, the width of the waves and the frequency. Below the display is a sliding hatch which covers the buttons. With the upper left you can switch between the seven different programs by going through them. The one below sets the timer in 10 minutes steps up to 60 minutes. The other two buttons are there to control the width and the frequency of the waves.

Detail of the Battery Compartment

Detail of the Battery Compartment

The Tension Lover runs on 9v block batteries. You can easily exchange it but pulling the sliding hatch down.

The toy comes along with two leads comes in a nice box with storage space for a battery and some additional toys. You can choose if you want it with self adhesive pad electrodes or silicones ones which I reviewed here. It even comes with a battery so you can start playing right away.

Playing with it

Playing with this box is like any other box: You choose a pair of electrodes, connect both poles onto one channel. Then you select one of the seven possible programs and see when your sub starts feeling the sensation. From there you can start playing and taking him further into the great sensation has to offer. During the test my testees and I agreed that generally speaking the sensations coming out of this box are a bit more on the stingy side. That is not a bad thing, just to something to keep in mind when planning a scene.

Program Name Induced Sensation
Burst Creates bursts of 7 to 10 short impulses.
Normal Continuous impulses that you can freely manipulate.
Modulated Continuous changing of intensity in a corridor around your selected intensity so that the nerves don’t stop recognizing the stimulation.
Modulated Impulse Frequency The frequency continuously drops until 50% of the selected one and then rises again creating a wavelike pattern.
Modulated Impulse Frequency and Width The frequency and width of the impulse changes reverse. So when the frequency falls the width rises and vice versa.
Intensity and Frequency Changes In a 6 second long cycle the intensity falls by 20% while the frequency rises by 45% and then returns to normal.
Intensity and Width Changes In a 6 second cycle the intensity falls to 20% and the width rises by 54%.
Detail of the Info on the Display and the Control Buttons

Detail of the Info on the Display and the Control Buttons

From a beginner’s perspecitve my view on this box is a bit ambivalent. It offers great value for money so it is a good starting point in the entire e-stim cosmos. The 7 programs offer enough presets for most situations even though they are not so sophisticated as the programs on Erostek boxes. Of cause you can compensate that a bit when you start to manipulate the programs by adjusting the width and frequency of the waves. But this takes a bit of trying out and really getting to know your box and electrodes (which you should do in any case before you expose someone to the stimulation!). Since this is a start box the same program and the manipulations run on both channels. However you can control the intensity individually. Especially when trying to milk someone getting the same stimulation at both areas in my experience has been helpful. Another good thing for beginners is the manual. It explains the general way and especially this box works very well. With a bit of reading and practice you soon be able to master this box.

From a more elaborate player’s perspective I can unconditionally recommend getting this box. It costs less than most electrodes so it has a place in every estim play chest. What sets it apart and above every other even more sophisticated box I have played with so far is the ability to provide continuous stimulations without any fuzz. This is extremely useful when playing with electrodes like a pin wheel or a whisker which intention is not to create a changing sensation at one place but a continuous sensation when travelling over the body. Another great feature is the timer. Once set it will automatically stop the stimulation once the time runs out. I have found that a very useful feature in tunnel scenes where the sub agrees to a time of stimulation and then you leave him well bound and rendered blind alone (but still in hearing range!). I have gotten some priceless reactions from subs when the stimulation without any action of the top. Of cause the timer in combination with the through the belt clip implicated mobility offers countless possibilities of deviant play. The sliding hatch closes very firmly so it doesn’t accidently opens up when walking around which makes accidently chances of the program impossible. It is also a good way of keeping the in mitts fettered hands of a sub from changing anything.

There is also a third perspective that should not be forgotten: MyStim is the erotic department of a company making TENS units for medical purposes the box can also be used for TENS purposes. With a bit of exercise you learn how to place pad electrodes and which stimulation you need to create pain and tension relief. Especially after suspension bondage and impact play scene the box became quite popular with subs and tops of mine.

A thing you have to take into consideration when planning on buying this box is a design decisions that I could not quite understand: As already written MyStim is a department of a company that makes TENS units for medical purposes and maybe in that field 2.65mm jacks onto 2mm pin are common. But due to being the professional laboratory standard I personally consider 3.5mm audio plug onto 4mm banana plug the gold standard in estim. This isn’t a big problem when you use surface electrode because you can easily use adapters. However when you start using insertables that rely on 4mm banana plugs (like great ones from E-Stim System) you need to build your own connectors because there are not 4mm angle plugs onto 2mm pin jack out there. If you are getting a MyStim Tension lover I would strongly recommend getting yourself two MyStim plug onto 3.5mm audio jack adapters and use 3.5mm audio plug onto 4mm banana plug cables.

Conslusion: Inexpensive and powerful multiple adjustable box with a few design problems.

Oxballs Zap

Vendor: Oxballs

The Oxball Zap

The Oxball Zap

Construction

Unlike most Oxballs ballstretcher the Zap has an oval shape. It is 25mm wide and 38mm long with a height of 33mm. The material is 8mm thick so in combination with the compact shape it is a quite sturdy ball stretcher. On each long side there is a reinforced hole through which you can put the electrodes. They are made out of aircraft grade aluminum and have a conductive area with a diameter of 19mm. The rough mushroom shape helps keeping them in place. You can order them with either one or two electrode and 2mm pin or 4mm banana plug jacket.

Unlike most Oxballs toys this stretcher is not made out of FlexTPR but medical grade silicone.

_DSC0563-2Playing with it

This material choice is a curse and a blessing. It is firmer than the “usual” FlexTPR so the stretcher is a little bit stronger yet it is soft enough to be worn comfortable even just as a stretcher without e-stim. But the firmer material and small internal diameter makes it a bit hard and tricky to put the stretcher on – regardless if your ball are large (than the small diameter is a challenge) or if they are small (where you will struggle with firmness). This also makes putting the stretcher onto a bound sub a bit difficult.

So much about the criticism. I really LOVE that toy! The firmness becomes a huge advantage when it comes to e-stim. Regardless if the balls are large or small, meaty or skinny the electrodes make skin contact for a good and reliable stimulation. For a ball stretcher the electrodes have a pleasantly large mass and contact area so the stimulation can range from a smooth, tantalizing sizzle to excruciating pain. This especially works well when you get the stretcher with two electrodes so you can really fry your balls. The form of the stretcher makes it perfect for another form of CBT: Milking. The “traditionally” of e-stim milking it putting a conductive silicone loop around the glans. However with this method the stimulated area can’t be targeted precisely. But with the Zap’s electrode you can precisely target the frenulum for an intense stimulation of the most sensitive area of the dick. Luckily putting it on the dick is quite easy so it is my way to go if the stretcher won’t fit around the balls. Apart from using the electrode in the stretcher for CBT the mushroom shape makes them easy to grip so they can be used as a skin electrode. Simply apply some conductive lube and let them travel over your subs body. For doing so, please put something isolating around your fingers like rubber gloves so you don’t accidently let currency flow through your body.

Detail of the Aluminum Pole

Detail of the Aluminum Pole

As nearly every Oxballs toy this toy is easy to care for: After having used it throw it into hot water with a bit of detergent or in a club simply spray a disinfection solution on it. Oxballs says on their website that you can use any form of lube with it. However I don’t trust silicone based lube with this toy because theoretically the silicone oil in it will disintegrate the stretcher. But to be honest I haven’t tried it out. Because water-based lube will also improve conductivity of the electrodes I would recommend sticking to that kind of lube.

Finally a piece of advice when purchasing this toy: Usually I would recommend getting the electrodes with the jacket that fits your e-stim system. However in this case I would in any case recommend going for the 4mm banana plug jacket (unlike I did…). The stretcher sits between the thighs which is a rather confined space which is the perfect scenario for a right-angle plug. However there are no 2mm pin right angle plugs out there (if you know where to get one, please send me an e-mail) but there are 4mm banana right-angle plugs. So if you have a 2mm pin e-stim box, get yourself an adapter with a right angle, it makes your life and play with this toy so much easier.

Overview of different anal plugs for the Hoolalass System

Overview of different anal plugs and silicone colors for the Hoolalass System

I have been interested in the concept of ass locks for quite some time. The idea of a toy stimulating my prostate or working my perineum while jerking off is tempting. Yet I found the standard version of this toy unsatisfying. Being made out of steel with a rather thin cockring on one end and a somewhat anatomical bent steel tube with a steel sphere at the end it is a robust construction. Yet the inflexibility of the material causes two problems: It is – literally – a pain in the ass to get the sphere into your sphincter or your dick through the cockring (depending with which side you start) and sadly the length and angles of the steel tube between sphere and cockring seems to fit nobody perfectly. In my opinion these were too many too grave design faults so I never bought one.

A couple of years ago Keepburning picked up the concept of the ass lock and used their experience in making silicone anal toys in order to address these issues by creating their Hoolalass System. Earlier this year they send the system over for me to review. Because I wanted a broader perspective I have bought additional anal plugs.

The System

The system consists out of two pieces: First there is the Anal Lock. It looks a bit like a wrench and is approx. 16cm long and 2cm thick. On one end is a hole with 30mm diameter, on the other side is a 40mm one. Second there is a wide selection with over 10 different anal plugs. The sizes range from a beginner friendly 35mm to an expert challenging 100mm and shapes from traditional plugs to more exotic ones like a spindle.

All toys are made out of medical grade silicone which is just the right degree of being flexible yet ridged. While the plugs’ heads are always black you can get the base and the Anal Lock either in black or in neon yellow. The material makes them easy to clean using just warm soaped water. Because the smooth surface can be quickly disinfected with spray the toys can theoretically be used with different players. Like with every silicone toy do not use silicone based lube with this toy because it will disintegrate the material!

Playing With It

First you need to figure out which hole of the Anal Lock is the right size for your package. Due to the material being flexible one of them will fit most dick sizes. Both my S and XXL testees found the cockrings comfortable yet secure to wear for an extended period of time. After you have figured that out choose one of the plugs and put the base through the not fitting ring. Then you need to try out what is easier for you: First inserting the plug and then put the cockring around your junk (my preference) or the other way round. Since the Anal Lock and the cockring are flexible the anal lock has enough tension at the right places yet is not too long or small in order to make it comfortable.

So why should you go through this a bit complicated process? Once you start jerking off or fucking the movement momentum of your dick is transferred onto the plug. Depending on your anatomy and the plug design there are different stimulations possible: Prostate message, a constant stimulation of your sphincter (which a body area densely covered with nerve endings) either by sliding or by a constant pulling trying to open it. I gave the system to couple friends of mine who both lend more to being anal bottoms and they were amazed how intriguing it Is for the top to use the Hoolalass while fucking.

Of cause both elements of the toy can be used separately. Due to the plugs having extravagant shapes they were a welcome addition to the sensation repertoire when opening up an anus in my anal toy collection. Because the base shaped to hold the ring of the Anal Lock in place it has a bit of a grip structure. So when topping you can easily hold them. The Anal Lock itself is a quite versatile toy. Put it around the base of your dick without a plugs attached and it has a prostate stimulating effect like the Oxballs Trough. Double the rings up, put them around your balls and you have a stretcher. Put one ring around the base of your dick, the other around your balls and you have a cock sling.

While playing around with the system I found out that the both the Anal Lock and the plugs are quite thuddy yet not too intense impact toys. Especially the larger plugs are real bruisers if you are not carefully. Of cause they are not designed for that purpose and I don’t know how well the neck of the plugs will withstand this misuse. But in over half a year I have not seen any wear on the material so if you are out of impact toys give it a careful try.

Vendor: Keepburning

Earlier this year I have gotten some quite large ass toys from Keepburning for reviewing. Ever since I have been looking for testees whos ass could handle them. Last weekend I had a very talented bottom over at my place and since I probably won’t get a second or third opinion in the couple of month I will try myself on reviewing pure ass toys for the first time.

Construction

The first impression of this toy is: Massive! It has the shape of a classic anatomical dildo but the dimensions are almost bizarre. It has a total length of 40cm, the balls at the bottom measure 19cm by 10cm. The anatomical shaped glans is 10.5cm by 8.5cm and is 9.5cm long. The shaft “only” 8.5cm by 6cm but 21cm long. There are some signified veins on the shaft and a raised Viking helmet like logo just above the balls. But other than that the toy has a smooth surface.

It is made out of silicone and comes in three colors: Classic black, natural skin color and a vibrant blue. The weight of this toy is nearly 3kg.

Playing with the toy

For the intended play purpose I have to rely on the reports of my double fisting bottom from the weekend: He says that the glans is nicely shaped so it gradually opens up your hole. Since it is not round but oval twisting the toy stretches different parts of your sphincter so if you are really well trained after some time the toy will ease in. The sensation of having the anus stretched that has been described as unique and from the noises he made I would say mind-blowing. Being made out of silicone this toy doesn’t give in as much as toys out of vinyl for example. The nicest feature about the this toy in my opinion is the oval shaft. Once my sub adjusted to have his sphincter stretched out resting on the shaft and I slowly started fucking him with it turning the toy and thus altering the tension on different areas of the sphincter produced… interesting sounds from the sub. After I plowed his hole for 20 minutes with this toy he was happily worn out. He said that it is one of the best ass toys for fucking he had in a long time and he would recommend it as a training tool if you want to work yourself up to a second fist. Despite the large weight I found topping with this dildo easy. The shaft is almost ergonomic for a good grip. Once the toy is inserted you can easily hold and maneuver it grabbing the dildo by the balls. Due to the large size I there is only a limited market for this specific toy. If you are intrigued by the overall design but don’t have a that well trained ass look at their Stor Boll or Hög Boll which are considerably smaller.

So much for ass play part. But even if you can’t take such a big toy up the ass or don’t have so well trained subs there is a place for this toy in your playroom in my opinion. For some month I had it standing around between my gas masks as decoration. Being flesh colored it really popped in the nearly all black toy storage area of my room so it was an eye catcher. More than that through it absurd size it is a conversation starter. Especially newbies are usually so shocked and mesmerized that they ignore all the other evil toys which might intimidate them. I know of three people who gave this toys as a playroom opening or stud party gift just for comical value. On a more practical note I actually used this dildo in scenes for holding toys. Standing up it is great for placing a gas mask or hood over it for easy grabbing. When it lays down the slightly stick surface is ideal for holing clamps.

Being made out of silicone it can be cleaned easily with hot soap water. Please only use water-based lubes with this toy! Silicone lube will disintegrate it!

Conclusion: Massive and eyecatching ass toy.
