FAQ
What is a BDSM mask?
BDSM masks are usually worn by a submissive partner during power play. They can take the form of blindfolds, ornate face masks, or full hoods. They help the submissive partner get into their role and go deeper into subspace. Bondage masks can be used for sensory deprivation, by blocking out the person's sense of sight for example, which creates a sense of anticipation and allows then to focus more on the physical sensation. BDSM hoods are often used to create a feeling of objectification as they take away a person's sense of identity. They can be made from many different materials from lace to leather to latex and some are designed to look like puppies or cats for pet play!

Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.

These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.
