Review: EasyToys Under Mattress Restraint Set

In the Beginning, There Was a Book

I dare say that the general interest in BDSM grew because of the book. Probably no introduction is needed to the erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey", which has sparked considerable discussion on the subject in recent years. The novel has sold hundreds of millions of copies since its inception, held sales records on bookstore shelves for a long time, has been translated into 52 languages, and was successfully made into a film. These numbers alone show the public's excitement and interest in BDSM that this book has generated. If you, too, are part of a group of people who, after reading it, ask themselves what it's really like, this article may help you turn provocative thoughts into an unforgettable personal erotic experience.

Reality vs. Prejudice

Many individuals considered BDSM, that is, bondage and submission, to be something bizarre until they read this novel. They couldn't imagine that they themselves could desire such experiences. BDSM practices often evoke associations of latex clothing, various masks, and especially beatings or other painful procedures that are rarely associated with eroticism and arousal. This distorted idea stems from contemporary times, where pornography often presents the practice in an extreme light. While BDSM is certainly not for everyone and can exist in a variety of forms, I would venture to say that BDSM, based primarily on absolute devotion to another, can elevate erotic experiences to a whole new level. Once you find the right scales that suit you, you will discover how extremely exciting this practice can be.

Bondage and Limits of Home

I confess that I have long been fascinated by the subject of BDSM and especially bondage, which is erotic restraining, where one partner takes the dominant role and the other the submissive role. Since my partner and I know how to talk openly about sex and various practices, it was not a problem to get into it practically. We proceeded slowly and started by me acquiring different lengths of rope and trying out different tying techniques according to tutorials available on the internet. This activity intrigued us both so much that it became a regular part of our intimate life.

The advantage of using ropes for tying is the wide range of possibilities that ropes offer. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage in that the "preparation" is very time-consuming and requires suitable furniture or elements in the bedroom to which the ropes can be attached, which is not always feasible.

So the idea of finding an alternative that would speed up the preparation and not require drilling anchor bolts into walls or furniture came to mind. While exploring the online store www.sexshop51.eu, I came across a product called "EasyToys Under Mattress Restraint Set", and it was clear that I had to try this kit.

The product packaging itself already indicated high quality. The set is packaged in a sleek rectangular cardboard box with black and white printing. Although it is not a product from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series, the grey background may evoke associations with this novel. The box is relatively bulky but carefully crafted. I myself was in a dilemma whether to throw it away or keep it. For the time being, it remains at home.

The set, as the packaging suggested, is of the same high standard. In terms of design and materials, there can be no complaints. It includes 2 smaller handcuffs, 2 larger ankle cuffs which are longer, and finally, a black nylon strap in the shape of an H. The cuffs are made of synthetic leather, lined with soft foam, and covered on the inside with a pleasant fabric to prevent sweating. The feel of the leather is really pleasant. The dimensions of the handcuffs and straps are perfectly adequate and fit all sizes, from slim women's to chunky men's wrists and ankles. You don't have to worry about not being able to restrain your partner with these handcuffs. Each handcuff has fixed staples that easily attach them to the clamping straps. These staples are made to withstand pulling during passionate moments. The handcuffs not only have the advantage over traditional ropes of quickly securing your partner but also in that they are comfortable and do not cut into the skin. There are several ways to make rope handcuffs so that they don't cut, but it takes practice and, most importantly, time. Buckling the buckles on handcuffs can take a bit of practice, especially in the beginning, but after a few uses, the material softens, and buckling is easy. The holes on the buckles have a hole lined with a metal ring, so there is no need to look for a hole to fasten with difficulty, the fastening mandrel fits effortlessly. As already mentioned, the number of holes on the buckle allows you to choose any size of handcuff – it can be looser or tighter.

The straps are quite wide and made of durable nylon fibre. This combination guarantees their strength and durability. The material is not flexible, and the only element that allows movement is the pliability of the mattress. And here we come to one of the advantages of this set. The product description states that the set can be used on any bed up to 3.5 metres long. I can only confirm this statement. I myself have the straps installed on a large continental bed measuring 200 x 180 x 40 cm, and there was no problem with the size. On the contrary, there is room for a larger mattress, as the manufacturer states. At the ends of the straps, where the staples attach, solid metal eyelets can take a considerable load. These eyelets make it easy to attach the straps via the staples in no time.

The length of the straps can be easily adjusted using a classic buckle, similar to those we know from backpacks. Here, I would have one reservation about an otherwise perfect product, as the buckle does not quite work as standard. Don't expect a slight pull on the strap to shorten the length, as is usually the case with backpacks. The strap must be adjusted manually in both directions by releasing the buckle and then adjusting the desired length. However, the strap must be adjusted once, and then you only need to clip or un-clip the handcuffs using the quick-release clip.

The H-shaped straps are installed under the mattress. You pull the longer part of the strap through the centre of the mattress, which can then be adjusted to the length of the mattress. The straps are fixed perpendicular at the ends, just pull them out from the side of the mattress on the left and right side. The length of the eyelet straps is sufficient for easy installation on the mattress. My mattress is 40 cm high and 180 cm wide. The ease and speed of installation depend on your mattress. If you have a heavy and large mattress, like I do, the weight of the mattress will need to be struggled with a bit, but it's nothing you can't handle. I was able to install the straps myself, though it would have been easier with a partner. Again, though, here comes the advantage of only having to do the installation once. The mesh straps, located on the sides of the bed, can easily be hidden under the mattress after play so they are not visible. And when it's time for more fun again, just pull the clamping straps out from under the mattress, no further installation is required. Just put the restraints on your partner, clip the clamps into the eyelets on the straps, and the play can begin. In this aspect, speed is really the biggest advantage of straps over ropes.

Ahead to New Experiences

What can I say in the end? You will definitely not regret buying this set. Just let your imagination run wild, and in a short time, you too can find yourself in the setting of the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey". Personally, I ordered the "Obsessive Blindfold" and the "Ouch! Square Crop Black". With this set, you can truly live out scenes from the novel to the fullest.

Finally, I would like to add a personal note. Using the crop definitely does not mean that you will beat your partner like a racehorse. The crop can also be used in a sensual and sensitive way. Believe me, it can be a thrilling experience for her to be blindfolded and gently patted without knowing which part of her body the crop will touch next.

We must not forget the principle that BDSM is about the mutual pleasure of both partners and should elicit pleasure, not suffering. It is, therefore, essential that the partners fully trust each other and establish a so-called "stop word" that allows for interruption of play at any time, and the dominant partner is obliged to obey this call.
