Masks

Masks serve two purposes. It’s either used for sensory deprivation by taking away the wearer’s ability to see or with certain masks- limiting their breathing. Or the mask is used for incredible roleplay situations where the wearer feels like someone else.

What types of masks are used in sexual play?

Blindfolds take away your vision so you have to rely on your hearing, smell, taste, and touch to guess your partner’s moves.

With masquerade and roleplay masks, you can actively engage in fantasy sexual situations. Then, there are the breath control masks for extremely specific fetishes.

What materials are best for masks?

Satin and silk are best if you’re going to be wearing the mask for a long time. Leather and mesh fabric works great for roleplay masks as the material is more durable and mesh is easier to decorate.

How should I clean and care for my mask?

If the mask is made of satin, lace, or mesh fabric, it’s best to hand wash. Use cool water and gentle detergent to get the dirt off. 

For leather masks, dip a washcloth in water and soap and wipe the mask down.

Can masks be used by beginners?

In the BDSM space, a mask is one of the easiest ways to start setting scenes. Blindfolds can be easily taken off, making them safe for both dominant and submissive to handle.

How to Choose the Right Mask

Purpose: Do you like the idea of having your vision cut off? Or would you rather have fun playing up elaborate scenarios with your partner? This determines whether you go for blindfolds or roleplay masks.

Material: Satin and lace both feel soft on the skin. Meanwhile, mesh fabric can be a little scratchy. Leather masks can feel amazingly soft or rough depending on the construction, but it’s always best to go for padded ones.

Mechanism: Always check the clasping mechanism. Do you just pull the band over your head? Do you have to unclasp the straps to get the mask off? If this is your first time using a mask, you want to be able to get it off without fanfare.
