Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #5: Kink Blindfold

Over the course of 24 days, I am unboxing one of Lovehoney’s adult advent calendars day by day and writing mini reviews/roundups of what’s inside. The Lovehoney x Womanizer 24 Day Couples’ Advent Calendar, which retails for £149 at Lovehoney UK and $199 at Lovehoney US, contains £457/$530 worth of products in total.

These calendars tend to sell out well before December, so don’t delay if you want one.

Today is Day 5.

Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #5: Kink Blindfold

Sensory deprivation can be a lot of fun to play with. By taking away one or more of the senses (such as sight) you heighten the others (such as touch). It can also be a great way to enhance anticipation, play with power and control, or otherwise explore whatever aspects of kink and BDSM appeal to you.

Today’s advent calendar box contains a kink blindfold. Made of polyester and with a pretty black and rose gold pattern, this blindfold measures 7″ across and 2.5″ top to bottom. A similar item retails for £7.99 if bought separately.

Pros

Lovehoney black and rose gold satin kink blindfold

  • Stretchy elastic means the blindfold will fit most users
  • Plushy padded backing is comfortable to wear
  • Pretty black and rose gold design
  • Doubles as a sleep mask (I have several of these now and as a seasoned kinkster I rarely use them for BDSM as I have better blindfolds, but I always take one with me when I travel to help me sleep)

Cons

  • Not quite big enough – it blocks most of the light effectively but I can still see around the edges a bit if I keep my eyes open
  • Cheap fabric is starting to pull at the edges and look less attractive after just a few wears
  • I’m not sure how well it would survive washing

Verdict

A perfectly serviceable basic blindfold if you just want to play but aren’t looking for complete sight deprivation. It would be better if it was slightly wider. If you enjoy playing with this, then it’s easy to upgrade to a better kink blindfold that will last you longer and block more of your vision.
