Reviews Page 1 - Purple Reins Beginners Bondage Kit (4 Piece)

As usual this came in the plain, discreet brown box. The item was surrounded by plain paper and was packed in a plastic bag.

The kit consisted of the following items:

2 x Wrist Cuffs

2 x Straps

Flogger

Ball Gag

The Wrist Cuffs are fastened around the wrists with Velcro. My wife has small wrists whereas I have large wrists. The cuffs managed to fit both of our wrists and my wife remarked that the cuffs were very comfortable.

The straps clip on to the cuffs and fit easily under a king-size mattress. However, to secure the two ends, they have to be tied together in the middle. Once tied together, the do remain secure. The ends could do with either a D-ring to secure them together or another clip.

The flogger is a great toy, small but packs a punch. We both used it on each other and found the feeling a thrill.

The ball gag is quite large for a beginners kit. My wife didn't wear it so she used our bondage tape. I wore the ball gag and although it did fit, it was on the large size, however it did keep me quiet! I found it comfortable and the sides didn’t dig into the sides of my mouth. My wife didn’t really like it on me but I found it a turn on. Maybe for a beginners kit, a smaller ball gag.

Overall a great beginners kit, fantastic quality which keeps you secure and quiet. A great turn-on!

Got this as a spur of the moment purchase and don’t regret it.

First ball gag and I love it. Materials not harsh around mouth. Used it on hubby to stop him giving oral when sat on his face, and he’s certainly loved been restrained with a gag and eye mask.

Room some getting used to straps and where to place them, but now they're a permanent fixture hid under our bed.

Overall quite a nice little kit. Bought to replace handcuffs that were broken many years ago and to try out a ball gag for the first time.

Quality of everything is pretty sturdy - good strong stitching and simple clips. The cuffs are very comfortable to wear and not noisy at all like metal handcuffs can be which we liked. The flogger was quite fun and can be used quite hard without it being seriously painful. The ball gag I really liked - and I think my wife appreciated the peace and quiet. Only thing I found with the gag though is the material was quite rough on the corners of your mouth which to me was actually a turn on but thought some people might find it too uncomfortable.

Overall though great little set and well worth getting if you have only done a bit of improvised bondage like we had.

Bought this product mostly for the cuffs and the flogger. I like being spanked but do not like anything that leaves too much of a mark the morning after.

The cuffs were very comfortable actually used them on my ankles using the extra bindings to secure them to the bed post.

I liked the flogger. Caused pain but the mild oh boy kind, not agony.

I never tried the gag they always make my jaw ache and I hate the drooly feeling, but even knowing when I bought the kit I wouldn't use all of it, it was still great value for money.

My naughty best friend bought me this after having my child. She said it would bring back the fun and she was certainly right there.

She is into more raunchy stuff, which has never really been my thing and I can't say I'm a completely changed person but I definitely had fun with this set.

We had a lot of teasing which brought us closer together again then I wasn't a fan of the ball gag thing so we only used it for a few minutes (no issues with the product, I guess it just isn't my thing).

The spanker was amazing. We had some great fun with it whilst I was cuffed to the bed. I also used it on my oh and we had great fun.

I was pleasantly surprised at both the range of items and the quality of said items in this kit. Everything is very sturdy, with woven straps.

The handcuffs are well padded to ensure that the straps don't begin to rub on skin, which is a good idea, however, the same hasn't been done with the ball gag, and while this hasn't been an issue with short to medium term wear. I suspect this gag will get more uncomfortable in longer sessions. But, for the price, you get what you pay for. And that is an excellent set to add to any collection.

The flogger is probably my favourite bit of the set; it allows you to get a stinging hit with even a gentle flog, which is exactly what we were after.

I decided to buy this to try out something new.

Me and my partner have never tried anything like this so we were concerned about how we would be able to figure out how to use certain pieces. To our surprise, it was very easy! The handcuffs are padded and the gag ball was comfortable in my mouth, which was a bonus!

I would highly recommend for someone who is a beginner in the world of bondage.

I bought this as it was my husband's fantasy to tie me up and pleasure me any way he pleased.

I loved the cuffs,they're soft and comfortable yet hold you in place. We've never really used a flogger before but I found it exciting. The gag ball was too big for my mouth after a few seconds my jaw began to ache. I would have liked a blindfold with this set we used my nightdress as a blindfold which was not much use but were too in the mood to search for something better.

My partner and I decided on this as a good little starter into bondage, so since it's our first one I wasn't really sure what to expect.

The cuffs are okay, they don't chafe but I find they can be quite long and I don't feel quite as restrained as I would like to be but they are now a full-time addition to our mattress.

The ball gag is probably my boyfriend's favourite. It's a simple tightener and stays tight too.

My wife was a bit dubious about the bondage kit, but once we set it up and used it wow.

We are having great fun not just in the bedroom.

When I tie her up with it and she can't move so much I can take her to another level with her orgasms.

Plus she likes getting revenge when she ties me up fantastic fun.

Received this product in discreet packaging and on time from the testers list.

Whilst I don't consider myself to be a BDSM newbie these days, I can still appreciate beginners packs for what they are. I have the under bed restraints from this range so like having a matching set of toys in the same colour and fabric.

First off, cuffs. These are used to keep hands together or can be used with the added extra material to attach cuffs to bed posts. Pulling these cuffs apart can be done by the cuff-wearer, but requires a lot of force. The Velcro allows them to be easily adjusted to allow for a comfortable but secure fit. If the padding slips, however, the nylon can give a bit of an itchy feel.

Next up, the flogger. I have so many floggers, most more advanced than this one. It is surprisingly well made for the price of the set with the graduated effect minimising the force applied in one area and allowing for lovely sensual play if dragging across the skin. In the right hands, however (my OH), it can still pack a punch, or a sting for that matter. It would have been nice to have a string look from the D-ring handle to allow the users an easier grip. If you wanted more advanced BDSM play I wouldn't recommend this product, however, it is good for beginners and sensual play.

Finally, the gag. I have a really big problem with ball gags as my gag reflex is crazy sensitive. Whilst the ball was too big for me to handle I did appreciate how squishy is was so it was easy to bite down on. A breathable gag or bit gag may be more appropriate for beginners as the ball was fairly large and may put some people off gags entirely. It was, however, good quality and the fastening at the back allows for an adjustable fit and quick release in case you do get that horrible choking feeling like myself.

Whilst it isn't much of an issue for me, as I have tonnes, I'm surprised that a beginner's set didn't come with a blindfold. I always find that a nice addition to beginner's sets and so I feel it'd really complete this one, even if it's just a cheap one.

It's a good quality product. Gag works well. Restraints aren't the best if you're a brat, but good for the price.

Whip was broken when arrived was bent and couldn't be straightened. The gag was a definitively good quality.

Overall a good kit for beginners. Definitely recommend to people trying to spice things up.

The package arrived in quick time as usual.

My wife and I are beginners in the bondage arts, so the flogger was perfect. Just the right amount of sting no matter how hard she used it.

The ball gag we haven't used... yet. The only problem being the two under-bed straps. There is no way to connect or adjust them. The ends without the connector clips have no fittings to them, so you have to tie, or as I did, stitch them together.

Still no adjustment as the clips are stitched on. I cut the stitching to the fork-ended one and rethreaded it to make it adjustable. This all took about a half hour and slightly killed the mood.

The other problem is that the clips only fit one way, so to turn over from your front to your back you have to remove the velcro strap and change hands instead of quickly unclipping.

Once modified we had a good evening.
