Review:

The Mistress Kit from California Exotic Novelties is a three piece set from their Intimate Basics line. That pretty well covers it. It is a basic mistress kit for some very gentle, beginner bondage and kink play. It consists of some fur-lined cuffs, a mask and a tickler. And by tickler, they don’t mean a euphemism for some naughty bits stimulator. It’s a little feather duster than can be used to tickle your partner. (Or maybe even do a little light cleaning during the down time.)

The mask is a thin cotton material with an elastic band to hold it in place. It isn’t going to keep the light out, but it will block your vision pretty well. If you want something a little more limiting you can always put it on over a scarf or some other blindfold. It goes on and off easily but the band isn’t going to withstand any sort of really rough play.

The cuffs have a bit of weight to them. They aren’t cheap plastic so you will definitely feel them on your wrists. The fur is nice and adds to the comfort factor as well as the playful nature of this set. The cuffs have easy release buttons so there is no real danger of anyone getting in over their heads here. Just keep in mind that it’s not really fair to escape unless you absolutely have to.

Finally, the tickler is a nice little item. It’s about seven inches long with a very thin plastic wand for a handle. The business end consists of a very light feather for some gentle tickling. It is a rather dainty and delicate tool, but it will get the job done.

Overall this is a simple beginner’s kit. It offers playful items that are lightweight, easy to store and simple. The cuffs are pretty good and the mask is functional. The tickler is nice and better for play than actually using a feather duster. The kit is not designed for serious bondage and probably won’t hold up to extended rough play. Instead it is for some cute fun and should be used as a starter kit. If you find that you enjoy fur lined cuffs, these may be all you need for a while. Should you find that you like the mask, there are sturdier units to try. For the price, this is a great opening salvo into the world of light bondage. Consider picking it up with a copy of 50 Shades and reading it to your partner while he (or she) is cuffed, blindfolded and gently tickled.
