The Mystim Plunging Pete ontop of the Packaging with the provided Set of Leads

Construction

The foundation of this toy is a conductive silicone loop made to be put around your glans. Onto this loop an isolated pin with another tube of conductive silicone is attached which runs perpendicular through the collar that holds the loops’ ends together. On this vertical tube are three 24k gold plated spheres located with the middle one having 35mm long and 4mm thick rod attached.

The toy comes in a nice tin box along with a set of leads for attaching to a Mystim power box and two samples of their own conductive lube.

Detail of the Leads attached for Monopole Play

This toy is one of the few toys that enables you to make bi-polar glans play. Before I have gotten it I have often tried to attach two silicone loops to the glans or use a pad at the frenulum and a loop around the glans. But it is complicated to get both electrodes securely attached without the two touching. Through the nifty collar design of this toy this problem is solved. In order to put it onto the glans adjust the two silicone tubes until the toy sits securely on the glans and both tubes have skin contact. While the tubes are long enough to fit even extreme large dicks I found the attachment process a bit complicated: The isolated carrier for the vertical tube can’t be moved. So in order to keep it in the middle you have to adjust both ends of the horizontal loop which is a bit tricky especially when you have lube on your hands. Because of that I would always recommend attaching the leads once the toy has been adjusted.

In order to attach the box onto this electrode simply put a 2mm pin cable or adaptor into one of the open tube holes. If you want to use the toy as a monopole, choose one of the three endings, if you want to use it as a bi-pole use the vertical and one of the horizontal ending. Do not use both horizontal endings because it will short-circuit your box by doing so will damage it!

Mystim produces three versions of this toy: The Pure Pete with just the two silicone loops, the Pearly Pete with three gold plated spheres and the Plunging Pet which I will review here. I decided to buy the Plunging Pete because it is all the three versions in one. If you pull the horizontal silicone tube out of the collar you can remove the there attachments in order to create the Pure Pete. Turn the sphere with the rod around and you have the Pearly Pete.

I have to admit it takes a bit of getting to know this toy in order to create the wide array of sensations that it can create with the right power box. The most important part of this toy are the gold plated spheres resp. the rod. Through the material they are highly conductive and due to the round shape the contact area is quite small so even with little power is enough to create a noticeable effect. It is one of the few toys I know that can create a non-painful tickling sensation.

The art of mastering this toy is knowing there to put the spheres. When you want to milk someone I would recommend only placing one sphere on the frenulum. In order to make this sensation a little bit more torture like you can put the rod into the urethral. Another possibility is to put two spheres on the horizontal loop and one on the vertical for a really agonizing effect. When you remove all spheres you can adjust it so tightly that it can be comfortably worn for an entire day without falling off making it ideal for remote control commando e-stim play in public. For that purpose and if you use the toy only on one sub I would recommend shortening the silicone tubes because in order to fit even XXL dicks they are quite long.

As always when I talk about conductive silicone toys here the reminder NOT to use silicone lube when playing with this toy. Depending on the brand it is more or less isolating and it will dissolve your toy! Cleaning this toy is not different than any other toy: Use a mild detergent in warm water, let it dry and disinfect it. Since the rod is supposed to be inserted into the urethral be sure to disinfect it thoroughly after and right before play in order to avoid nasty infections.

Conclusion: Very well designed and versatile yet a bit tricky to use glans toy.

Regulation Bi-Polar Ring Set

The Bi-Polar Ring Set consisting of a 40mm and a 50mm Diameter Ring

The Bi-Polar Ring Set consisting of a 40mm and a 50mm Diameter Ring

The set consists of two rings: One with 50mm diameter and another one with 40mm diameter. They are made out of white, translucent silicone. On the inside there runs a strip of black conductive silicone which doesn’t go all the way around thus forming two poles. On the bottom is a little rectangular appendix through which both conductive silicone cores run which end into jackets for 2mm pin.

Playing with the toy

This toy is meant for being worn like a normal cockring. Through the flexibility of the material and the two sizes it fits even people with a larger pack. For people with a Western European standard size dick you can put the smaller ring onto the shaft which is especially interesting just below the glans. Having two poles you don’t need an additional electrode to create a sensation. If you do use both rings, try around with cross wiring them or attaching both onto one pole for interesting effects. With one ring below the glans and another on the penis root some testees even learned to cum when using a stroke program. All this properties make this set the perfect choice in combination with a remote controlled box like the Erostek ET302R when walking around. The rings stay in place and you don’t have to worry about one or both electrode falling off.

When in doubt which ring to choose because one is a bit looser and the other is a bit tighter I would always recommend taking the tighter one if this doesn’t cut circulation. If that isn’t the case this toy works surprisingly well as a cockring though it is not too comfortable being so thin. Through the flexibility of the material the ring moves quite a bit so when walking around so I highly recommend being shaven when wearing it for a commando public scene – or enjoy an additional stimulation. Speaking of stimulation the relatively low mass and small conducting area the sensations produced through this toy will be more on the stingy side. Through the pressure onto the body there will be good connectivity most of the so the whole contact area will be used for the smoothest stimulation possible. Generally speaking I would not advise using conductive gel with this toy because the added slick can cause the ring to slip off when the dick is soft.

Besides being a cockring this toy makes for an interesting skin play electrode. Simply wear an isolating glove (p.e. a latex one), apply enough pressure that the conductive areas get in touch with the skin and move the ring over the body using water based lube. If you stay below the waist line it is a secure way of play to make the sub enjoy a travelling sensation without too much sting unlike from a pin wheel p.e..

When doing other forms of play especially edging when this ring is worn please keep in mind that silicone based lube will disintegrate the toy! After play simply was it in warm water with a mild detergent, let it dry and disinfect it with alcohol.

Conclusion: Versatile Bi-Pole for mostly Stingy Sensations.

Mystim Silicone Pad Electrode

Vendor: Diburnium

Construction

The Mystim Silicone Pad Electrode

The Mystim Silicone Pad Electrode

This toy is a nifty adaption of the popular pad electrode pervertable originally designed for one-time medical purposes. When you purchase it you get four rectangular, flexible pieces with a side length of 45mm. The top is made out of white medical silicone while the bottom is made out of black conductive silicone. On one side on the top is a rising where the jack for the 2mm is housed in. Since each pad is a monopole you need at least two of them or another electrode to create a sensation.

Playing with it

Despite just recently having bought it this toy I consider it an essential toy because these kinds of electrodes were one of the first ones used for E-Stim. It is quite simple to use: simply put a pair onto the desired part of the body and attach the leads. But please keep in mind that due to the limited mass and contact area the sensation will be quite stingy. In order to ensure an even and somewhat smooth sensation I recommend applying water based lube on the conductive area. While you can use any one containing glycerin slicker ones like Elbow Grease H2O thick gel is better than more viscose ones like Swiss Navy Water Based because they stay in place even after pressing the electrode onto the body. For keeping the pad in place I use weak adhesive tape so it can be removed without too much pain after the scene (even though that makes for an own sensation with stronger ones…). There are special sticky conductive gels out there made for making such electrodes stick to the body. I am not really a fan of these gels because they are made for medical purposes where the patient sits still. Once the sub starts to struggle from the stimulation the pads usually fall off. What you should never use is silicone lube! Not only is it isolating but the silicone oil in it will disintegrate the silicone the electrode is made off!

A pad with a lead attached

A pad with a lead attached

Through the flexible material you can virtually places the electrodes anywhere below the waistline and on one arm. The most interesting positioning is using an anal monopole electrode the hits right the prostate – for me the E-Stim System Classic Medium I reviewed 1½ years ago – and the other one on the Perineum so the currency flows directly through the prostate. The most deviant positioning is placing on electrode directly on the anus (or even inside the sphincter even though there is a chance of being sucked into the ass and getting lost there) and the other on the frenulum.

There are a lot of videos and pictures out there where this kind of electrode is used for tit torture. This is somewhat OK when you place one pad directly on the nipple or right next to it and the other on the other side of the same nipple. Placing once pad on one nipple and the other on the other is dangerous and potentially lethal!

Compared to the other electrodes of this kind which comes with a lead already attached you can theoretically use this intimately often you take care of it. Clean it with warm soap water after play, let it dry and store it dark and dry for many years of fun.

E-Stim System Torpedo Large

Vendor: E-Stim Systems

The E-Stim System Torpedo Lage

The E-Stim System Torpedo Lage

I have reviewed three other electrodes of the premium collection from E-Stim system 1 ½ years ago. When I was in Munich three weeks ago I stumbled about this electrode and got a good deal on it so I’ve bought it. But since there are some important difference to the electrodes I have reviewed the last time and since anal plugs are an important e-stim toy I am writing another review about this great toy.

Construction

In the last year they have changed nothing on the great build quality: The head and base are made out of aluminum, the screw connecting the top and the bottom is stainless steel and the plastic is quite sturdy. They are so convinced by their build quality that they give you a live long quality and having been using these kind of electrodes extensively for over 2 years I have to agree. Even the plastic hasn’t aged yet I there is a drop of bitterness with the combination of the aluminum head and the stainless steel screw: Since the screw is harder than the material the thread is cut into, if you tighten the screw too tight too often the thread will get a bit dull. But I guess if you send the electrode in, the thread can be easily cut again.

Speaking of screw and thread, for easy cleaning this toy is made out of five individual pieces: Through the base a hole is drilled. Into this hole a plastic insulator is put through which a screw is put. Onto this screw you put another piece of plastic which forms the neck and ontop you screw the head of the electrode. Into the base and the connecting threat holes for 4mm banana plugs are drilled. The holes are far enough apart for using low profile plugs so you can comfortably sit on this plug.

The Electrode Disassambled into its Five Parts

The Electrode Disassambled into its Five Parts

Both head and base had a diameter of 5cm, the neck with 2.5cm is only half that thick. The total length of the toy is 13.5cm with an insertable length about 10cm. The electrode weighs 555g.

The stainless steel surfaces comes in a standard brushed finish which gives it a very sleek, modern and sleek appearance. When you order the electrodes directly from E-Stim’s website you can also order all electrodes in a polished version for a 10% premium. It is hard for me to recommend a surface treatment: As a jeweler sales assistant I know that a polished surface won’t show scratches as easily as a brushed one (If you are interested to know why, send me an e-mail), but personally I prefer the look of the brushed stainless steel. And if you are not ordering your toys directly from their website you will most likely only have the option of getting the brushed finishes.

Another neat thing is that the toy comes in a nifty and stylish black box that can be adjusted length-wise. So if you don’t store your e-stim toys in them but display them proudly you can store other stuff like clamps in there. I use one of the larger boxes for band-aids and a friend of mine a thinner one for sounds.

Playing with the toy

The first part of this section is a slightly enhanced copy and paste from the old review because I have little to add to this.

First an advice how to read this section: I will only discuss how the physical properties influence the sensation. The sensation itself depends very much on your e-stim box and the program you select.

When choosing the right electrode before play there are three important things to keep in mind:

  1. The Material: Unlike other soft materials like vinyl or silicone most anal toys are made out off stainless steel will not yield! So if you can barely fit a 38mm vinyl plug into your ass taking the Magnum Medium for example will at least take some training.
  2. The Handling: A lot of people put condoms over their anal toys when switching partners. The condom’s latex layer will at best alter the way the current flows thus might produce unwanted effects, at worst no current will flow at all. But because the metal is easily cleaned and disinfected this isn’t a big issue if you clean your toy thoroughly after using it on one partner. The best way of cleaning this toy is to disassemble it, put it into hot water with a bit of detergent added to it. Scrub the parts with a soft brush, rinse the water off and let the parts dry. Once they are, spray your favorite disinfection spray on them and assamble them again once dried.
  3. The Lubrication: When it comes to lube I would always recommend water-based lube. The glycerin in the lube will help the current flow from the metal to the skin. A thick layer of silicone lube can produced unwanted effect.
    There are specialized electro lubes out there but in my opinion they are overrated. For my sessions I use Swiss Navy water based lube. It keeps it gliding properties for a long period of time and transmits current very well.

As written here the larger the mass and contact area of the electrode the smoother the sensation. Since this is the heaviest and larges anal bi-pole I own as expected the sensation was silky smooth. But unlike the other electrodes the mass difference between the base and the head is so large that the sensation is nearly only felt at the base. It was a weird, hard to describe feeling putting the stroke program on. Usually this created a fucking sensation. This time… it was not bad just different than expacted.

The Black Packaging the Toy comes in

The Black Packaging the Toy comes in

Due to the size of this plug and the fact that metal doesn’t give in unlike most other material used for making anal toys I recommend this toy only to people with well-trained holes. Since the head is dull on top this electrode won’t enter as easily as a Magnum, yet the solid connection between base and head the toy can be pushed in quite easily. Being over half a kilogram heavy, keep in mind that gravity has quite some grip on this toy when walking around. So if your ass is trained too well there is some danger for your precious hardwood floor. But the size and weight makes this toy also interesting just as an anal toy without any stimulation. There is no give in the toy and the connection so when you move around this heavy toy will be noticed hitting your prostate.

Of cause you can also use the electrode also as a monopole. Just plug one banana plug into the anal electrode and the other one onto another electrode, a pin wheel or a rubber loop for example.

E-Stim System Conductive Rubber Cock Loops

Vendor: E-Stim System

A Pair of E-Stim System Cock Loops

A Pair of E-Stim System Cock Loops

Construction

The design of this toy is quite simple: you get a pair of 26cm long tubes made out of conductive silicone. Depending on the leads system you are using, you can choose between tubes with a 2mm or 4mm internal diameter. Each tube comes with collar through which you can pull both ends in order to create loops.

Playing with it

I consider this toy THE E-Stim essential. If you buy one pair of electrodes for your box, make it this because it is so versatile. The probably most often used play scenario for this toy is CBT: Put a ball stretcher on, lay one loop around the penis root and the other one around the stretched balls and try some different programs. With some training most men can even turn their box with these electrodes into a milker. For this stimulation put one loop either around the penis root or on the bottom of the shaft and the other one right below the glans and select the stroke program. If you do this on a regular basis your dick will most likely learn to reach an orgasm from the currency induced nerve irritation on the frenulum. For faster trainings results I would recommend adding an anal set up the stimulates the prostate in the same pattern. But always keep in mind to not overdo the stimulation because especially with electro the nerves of your genitals are easily overwrought. So the stimulation might have a nice torture aspect getting your endorphins flowing but won’t make you come. One thing I have heard people doing but strongly would disadvise doing is using the loops as a substitute for an electro sound! The loops are cut from a long tube but the edges are not deburred so they can injure your ureatha! For this kind of games invest into genuine electro sounds or special glans electrodes.

Detail of the Collar Holding the Loops in Shape

Detail of the Collar Holding the Loops in Shape

When playing on the penis I would always recommend putting a TPR stretcher – like mine of the many stretchers and cockrings from Oxballs or Keepburning – because there are easy to handle, are not conducting and will keep the electrodes from touching and thus from short-circuiting. Speaking of short-circuiting: there are bi-polar version of this kind of toy out there which have an isolating connector in the middle! This loops – like most others – are a monopoles. Putting a leads into both ends will short-circuit your box and can destroy it!

Detail of a Connection to a 4mm Lead

Detail of a Connection to a 4mm Lead

But this toy is not limited to CBT. When wearing an isolating glove use the pair as a skin electrode and caress the sub’s skin with it. You can even make an anal electrode out of the pair: Either put one of them into your ass and the other somewhere onto your skin below the waist or put an isolating layer between them – p.e. a piece of freezer bag which is large enough to keep the electrodes separate even when the electrodes shift a bit – and shove both up your butt in order to create a bi-pole.

Maintenance wise this toy is very easy to handle: After having played with it, just wash it in hot water with a bit of detergent in it. Once it’s dried spray or wipe it with a disinfectant. This is especially important when you have used it below your glans because even unnoticed drops of precum can transmit STDs!

Another important play and maintenance aspect to keep in mind is the lube: since the loops are made out of silicone, never use silicone lube on it. On the one hand silicone lube doesn’t conduct currency and on the other hand silicone lube will destroy the silicone of the loops.

The Erostek ET232

The Erostek ET232

On top of the device are four rotary knobs: With the left and the right knob in the upper third are used to control the intensity of the individual channels. Next to them a blue LED indicated when the channels are putting out power. With the middle knob the programs can be adjust. The fourth knob is for turning the device on by choosing one of the 15 programs.

The electronic of the e-stim device is housed in a 111mm x 83mm x 38mm white plastic case which has an abrasive surface on the sides and bottom for better grip. On front are 5 holes: On the far left and fare right are 3,5mm jack sockets for the leads. The socket for the power adapter is located in the middle. Left of it is the microphone input and on the right the 3,5mm jacket for mono audio input. On the bottom is the hatch under which the 9v block battery for mobile usage can be put.

Playing with it

I have been wanting to review this toy for quite a while but couldn’t find an angle how to review it. The sensation experience by the sub depends on a number of factors like which electrode is used where on the body. So the description of the individual programs and the their manipulations can only be a rough one. Generally speaking the stimulation will be a bit “softer” compared to a digital box.

Program Name Induced Sensation Possible Manipulation
Waves Wave-like sensation with random wave length and intensity Speed of waves
Intense Unmodulated waves Left: Highest frequency changing between both channels

Middle: High frequency on both channels

Right: Higher frequency on both channels

Random Random wave like sensations No effect
Audio Soft Even slightest noise reaching the microphone fires device on both channels No effect
Audio Loud Fires both channels equally either through input of the microphone or the 3,5mm audio jacket. Sensitivity of the microphone or the audio input
Audio Waves Audio on the left channel and wave on the right channel Sensitivity of the microphone or the audio input on the left channel
User High frequency that feels quite smooth yet intense on both channels Left: Constant stimulation on the right channel and regular pauses on the left one

Middle: Alternating between channels

Right: Constant stimulation on the left channel and regular pauses on the tight one

HiFreq Feels like user Left: Constant stimulation on the right channel and regular pauses on the left one

Middle: Alternating between channels

Right: Constant stimulation on the left channel and regular pauses on the tight one

Climb Pulsed sensations that increases up to the maximum selected   intensity Climbing speed
Throb Like HiFreq but with a deeper throbbing sensation Frequency of the pulses
Comb Like sensation like wave program but changing between the channels Change frequency between the channels
Thrust Depending on intensity tickling to needle piecring sensation Speed of the thrust
Thump Short intense random impulses alternating on both channels Rate of thumps
Ramp Steadily increasing sensation up to selected maximum intensity and then increasing again from zero on both channels Level modulation
Stroke Steady wave form on both channels Wave length
Detail of the Blue LED that flashes when the Box fires

Detail of the Blue LED that flashes when the Box fires

Being an analogue box the program you select will run on both channels. There is no way to select a different program for channel A and channel B. Also when playing with the device please keep in mind that when using one program for an hour the device will automatically shut down. So especially in long term scenes regularly change quickly between two programs to ensure a more or less continuous sensation. Another down side in dark play areas are the blue flashing LEDs which indicate stimulation. They are so bright that you can’t see the intensity level you selected anymore. Luckily the indicator is raised to with a bit of practice you can feel the level yet still I found it a bit annoying.

But these are minor draw backs because I love the box for great usability. The four knobs are easily explained. So when a top comes over who has never done electro play and is supposed to top you with it he will quickly get the hang of it. The same applies when you play with yourself: When you are all horny and worked up, just twist a knob without having to go into menus to bring you more intense pleasures. Another good attribute is that compact form factor. With two silicone loops and an electrode you have enough possibilities to have an extended scene in less space than half a liter. So I know of a lot of people (including myself) that take the ET232 on trips or to dungeons when you don’t want to travel with too heavy luggage.

Detail of the Battery Compartment

Detail of the Battery Compartment

The fact sheet says that the ET232 has 60 micro coulombs per pulse versus the ET312b which has 80 micro coulombs per pulse. Of cause when it comes to stimulation more is always better but the small box is definitely powerful enough to make you cum, scream or beg for more. Speaking of fact sheets: I have talked to people who have owned their boxes for nearly a decade and being an electronic device it will sooner or later have some issues. They have ensured me that with a little technical knowledge and talent this box is easy to repair; the manufacturer ErosTek has recently launched a spare part section on their website to it can now be repaired with original parts. However: I have to strongly urge you to only let a true electrical engineering expert repair this box because male functions can cause serious harm or at best unintended and unwanted unpleasant stimulation!

Finally a word of warning for people wanting to order it inside the EU: All Erostek devices I have seen so far are lacking the CE marking which is a requirement for a device being sold in the EU. Several friends of mine had their Erostek device being confiscated by custom officers in several different countries when ordered directly from the USA. The only safe way to get an Erostek device into the EU is either ordering it through Regulation in London or purchase it when visiting a country outside the EU and bring it with you personally (even though theoretically it can be confiscated by custom at the air port).

The case with the Sleeve turned inside out

The case with the Sleeve turned inside out

The toy is roughly sand clock shaped, 16.5cm tall and with a diameter of 6.6cm. The case is made out of a somewhat flexible black plastic. On top is a little hole while the bottom is close by cap. Inside the case is the approx. 13cm long black sleeve which appears to be made out of TPR. The opening of the sleeve is supposed to be anal but seems more to me neutral so it doesn’t resemble any anatomic features. The first half of sleeve is a bit tighter and is textured with low profile ripples, the second half is wider and with low profile dots. The toy comes with a foam piece around it to create greater friction.

Playing with it

This toy is used like any masturbator: Lube up your dick using waterbased used (silicone and fat based lube will disintegrate the sleeve!) and shove your dick into it. Once you have entered you can put a finger over the hole on the top to create a vacuum or squeeze the case for a tighter feel. Once you are done, you can take the sleeve out of the case, wash it and turn it inside out for drying faster.

Hole on the Top for Creating a Vacuum

Hole on the Top for Creating a Vacuum

So much for the standard usage. Now to the play experience. This is one of the few spontaneous purchases I have made when it comes to toys. A couple of month ago I had a hell of a scene being bound, getting my nipples played with and some light BC done by one guy and the other one edging and milking me with the oral model sleeve of a Fleshlight. I want to recreate the sensation for another scene but couldn’t get an original Fleshlight where I live and didn’t want to invest so much money for a toy I would probably not use too often. But in Germany we have a saying “The one who buys cheap buys twice.” and sadly the saying also applies in this case.

The Masturbator Disassembled

The Masturbator Disassembled

I love my hand and never saw the need for a masturbator but I was ready to change my opinion but I was disappointed. While the material of a Fleshlight felt almost skin like (my thoughts were sort of elsewhere in the situation) this material smells a bit and is sticky. I would consider my dick average size yet the sleeve was too tight for me when using it with the case or without it. It was also a bit short. Once your dick is lubed up you don’t feel the texture because its profile is way too low. But with the right dick you can overlook this shortcomings; I have actually had some testees who theoretically enjoyed the sensation if the material would have been less sticky. But the two major problems ruin this toy: First the suction can’t be adjusted. You either close the hole at the top with your finger of you open it up. There is no state in between. Second theoretically you can increase the sensation by increasing pressure on the case. But it is so inflexible that the increase is negligible. Of cause there is the foam tube which fills out the space between the sleeve and the case. Or there was: I used this toy for an edging scene and the sub started pissing after he came so I had to throw the tube away. I replaced it with a ductape shut freezer bag filled with rice which is water proof. Sadly I was told by my more masturbator experienced testees that all inexpensive share on of the other shortcomings described above so this is a middle of the road masturbator. So if you look for really good a masturbator, take some more money look elsewhere. Either invest in a real Fleshlight or get a caseless jerk-off sleeve from an established manufacturer like Oxballs.

HML Bondage Harness

The HML Bondage Harness

The HML Bondage Harness

The thing I love most as a BDSM toy collector than using toys (or more precisely having them used on me) is strolling through small BDSM shops who make their own gear and toys. While I love the products sold by Mister B or 665 Leather to name two big players in the market, I love the sometimes unexpected creativity of small shops. So when discussing with the guys at HML the suggestions for improving the electro ball stretcher I stumbled across this bondage harness, a category of gear I thought that wasn’t made anymore. So I was quite surprised when they provided me with a review sample.

Construction

The basic construction follows the blueprint of a standard full body harness: Two straps run over the shoulder, one under the arms and one around the waist. What sets this harness apart from a standard full body harness is that the strap running around the ass: You can either wear it with once strap over the ass crack or add two contouring the ass cheeks for a thong-like look.

Like all HML leather toys the 4cm wide straps of this harness are made out of soft black hide which is folded so the seam is in the middle of the back of the straps which makes for a clean look without edges. The individual straps are attached to massive and heavy steel rings by rivets. The connecting strap between the upper torso part and the thong-like part around the waist uses snap fastener for connection. They are quite convenient because once you have adjusted the harness to fit your body by using the roller buckles you don’t need to open them again so the harness fits perfectly every time you want to wear it. The holes in the belts for the roller buckles are reinforced by steel rivets. The right size depends on your body type: The harness can be adjusted to different body heights but is quite limited to adjusting so bigger bodies. If in doubt ask the friendly guys at HML. Another thing that can be changed is the stainless steel cockring. The harness comes with a standard 50mm cockring that can be changed into the perfect size for you.

Detail of the Snap Buttons on the Middle Strap

What makes this harness special are the six D-rings that are riveted under sturdy pieces of leather just behind the roller buckles on the shoulder, under the arms and around the waist.

Playing with it

I have made it a rule not to talk about gear on this website: The different styles and cut and ways of making it are way too personal and actually controversial in our community (I have seen friendships break over discussing the “right” place to get your rubber…). But being a harness the gear aspect is the pink elefant in the middle of the room so I get it out of the way first: I’ve been out with this harness a couple of times and it performs well as gear. The cut is very good helping to highlight your good assets. It can be worn either as a full body harness or you take the connecting strap out and wear it just as an upper torso harness or as a cockring thong.

But now on the playing aspect. As the name states this harness is made for bondage and it performs really well in the field of play. First I thought that six D-rings are a bit few but when trying out the harness there were more than enough. When tying someone into a bondage frame you can effectively immobilize someone’s torso quickly by using chain and carabiners or tension belts without having to worry about cutting of circulation like when using rope. If you use rope, you can also incorporate the four steel rings on the front and the back for an even more elaborate designs. A fun thing when taking out your sub to the bars is to use the shoulder D-rings for tying a head harness in its place and attaching upper arm restraints to the upper and wrist restraints to the lower strap that runs around the body. Depending in the method you chose for attaching your sub is quite immobilized, coming close to the effect of a straight jacket yet every part of his body is accessible. In order to limit access to certain body regions there are anal toys out there which can be put onto a harness (sadly I have forgotten where I have seen them). They will probably fit on the strap running down the crack keeping them well in play. What works in any case is attaching a show plug for pup play onto the harness. I a friend of mine was thrilled that he can pup out with a tail despite not being able to take something up his ass when wearing this harness.

When talking about the usage possibilities a word of warning is in place: The well chosen location of the D-ring would THEORATICL make this harness good for suspension bondage where the matter of supporting the torso is always a difficult one, especially when you are not using rope. BUT: Do to the snap fasteners I strongly discourage you from using this harness for suspension bondage because there is always the fear of the snap fasteners opening under the stress they are put onto. To be honest I put them to a hard test with strong subs who fought against the bondage and I tried the harness for suspension (with security measures of cause) and nothing opened. Yet still because the security of the sub is paramount I would not advise using this harness for suspension!

HML also makes another kind of harness called the HML Restraint Harness which exchanges the shoulder straps with a collar, has D-ring in front of the collar and two at the crotch and has build in restraints above the hip. It is made in the same great way as this bondage harness is and costs 345€.

Mr S Stinger Whip

Vendor: Mr S

The Mr S Stinger Whip

The Mr S Stinger Whip

Construction

The construction of this toy is fairly simple: 15 2mm thick plastic strings with a 3mm thick bead ever 4mm are glued into a flexible plastic tube for approx. 16cm usable length. At the end of the tube is a 20mm long and 17.5mm thick dome-shaped grip so the toy can rest between two fingers a bit like a flogger. At the end of the toy there is a key ring for easy and convenient carrying around everywhere.

Playing with it

The key ring is a nice touch because this really made to be carried around by a dom at all times. Despite the small size and the flexible tubes this toy can hurt! Depending on the energy you put into the blows it can deliver up to an intense sting. The small size makes it perfect for immediate punishment. I lent it out to a friend of mine who carried it around in the inside pocket of his jacket to hit the finger tips of his sub in training every time he reached out without asking first. Due to the small size and light weight it takes some practice to control this toy when winding up for big blows like in a spanking session. I had a bit of fear that the glue would fail me in intense scene but this toy hasn’t let me down.

But to be honest this toy isn’t really made for large impact play scene. It is a delicate toy which is ideal where finess is needed. I surprised a sub quite a bit who didn’t expect an impact sensation on his nipples. When it comes to CBT a word of warning is in place: Yes, due to the small size and the sting it is ideal for beating wall and shafts. But if the dick is really throbbing hard and the guy is uncut or has frail skin, don’t put too much force into strikes onto the glans because the movement energy will concentrate into the small beads and it can break the skin which you don’t want on an organ with blood jammed into it.

Like most multi-“tail” impact toys you can use the stinger whip also as a sensual toy by just letting the tip of the tube travel over the sub’s body. If you have a elastic band at hand, bind the tips together which will create a different sensation.

A nice thing in my opinion is that this toy nearly doesn’t color. Of cause some battle marks after a scene are always nice but if you use it like my friend and an educational instrument leaving no marks is a good thing. And since it is made out of plastic cleaning is very easy so you can quickly use it on different partner.

Keepburning Black Hole Tunnel Medium

Vendor: Keepburning

Construction

The Two Color Option: Clear and Black

The Two Color Option: Clear and Black

First things first: Keepburning provided me with this toy for reviewing purposes.

The design of this tunnel plug is simple yet clever. It starts out with a 40mm wide barrel shaped stiff piece of silicone. Its front has a diameter of 39mm increasing to a maximum diameter of 56mm and ends into a softer 43mm measuring tube that has a minimum length of 35mm. Through all this runs a tunnel with 35mm diameter. At the end is a large concave shield that prevents the plug from disappearing even into the greediest hole.

The toy is made out of TPR so I would recommend using water-based lube with it. You can get this toy either in black or clear. Since I like the classic look of black anal toys I mostly used the black one but I have heard from people that own the clear one that it discolors over time a bit.

Playing with it

A lot of fun was head with this tunnel plug. In general this kind of anal toy is great for humiliation scenes. Due to being made out of high grade silicone this tunnel plug can be worn for extended periods of time causing the wearer to lose control of his bowl movement. This was especially appreciated by adult baby players who the plugs help simulate the lack of sphincter control by babies. This plug also made a person very happy who likes to soil himself and wore this plug for a day under his normal cloths. Of cause this also works the other way around: You can put stuff into the sub without him being able to resist. One of the testees liked the idea of being a party urinal but can’t stand the test of piss so with this plug his colon was turned into a urinal. Beside dirty stuff the tunnel function was well appreciated at fisting parties because lube insertion was easy. If you just want this plug to keep the sphincter of your sub nicely open without any of the nasty side effects, go to your local home improvement store and buy a silicon plug in the plumbing department.

Using a Speculum for Easier Insertion

Using a Speculum for Easier Insertion

I have to admit the handling of this plug is a bit difficult: It lies in the nature of tunnel plug that the front side is dull. I recommend prestretching the sphincter up to at least 60mm diameter so that this plug slides in easily. Even though the silicone of the barrel in front is stiff another thing that made insertion easier was putting a speculum inside the tunnel which keeps it from collapsing.

The smooth surface and material properties of TPR make this toy easy to clean. I recommend first cleaning the toy in hot water and detergent, then rinse it and finally spray some disinfection agent on it. It is an annoying material property of TPR to attract dust. So even when being stores in a sealed container, I recommend washing the toys quickly under warm water before using.
