[H]arsh Body harness

For those that don't allready know, Darien Caldwell is back in SL. For those that don't know who that is? Thats the creator of Dari Haus, the free gear we all used at some point in our SL bondagette career. She has a new store called [H]arsh and as of now, it has two releases. Latex gauntlets (which I have one in the pics) and this Harness.

Quality

Its mesh, which instantly means great looks, flexes with the body easily and has a low prim count meaning less lag, witht he minor draw back of been uneditable.

There are a total of 6 sizes of harness availble to us, with demos so we make sure we buy teh correct one. Should one not fit you, there is a custom fitting service that while costing more, means an exact fit is availble. I'm cheap and just bought one of the premade ones, and it fits me pretty well, bar for one minor bit on the back.

As you'd expect of a body harness, its tight to the body, has lots of rings, straps and buckles., and a couple of anchor/leash rings for good measure. It has a hud that comes with it that allows you to heavily customize the colour scheme, meaning no two harnesses need look the same.

Function

This is a relaly interesting restrait function wise. It requires viewer 2 HTML to work properly I believe. With the harness comes a hud called FLEX. Its an interesting system. Wear it with you harness, and they sync together. You'll get a tab called "My Restraints" and your harness will be there. Click the Harness icon and some mroe options pop up. Owners which lets you add/manage owners, lock it on or leash it. Once synced, you can hand the hud to a friend/owner and they can freely control it. It is however no copy, so be careful not to give it someone you don't know or trust. I had a few error with it, but otherwise it was great.

Like so many toys these days, it sadly lacks a timelock.. But this hud has huge potential to be great.

Scores

Quality - 9/10. Its a great piece
Function - Toughy. That hud has huge potential, though the harness lacks a few things still (timelock!) which stops me giving it a 10, but its close! - 8/10
Price - 750 for a standard one, make sure to check the demos first. Otherwise get a custom size made for an extra 650 linden I believe it is. - 8/10


Other info

Darien offers a custom fitting service as mentioned. While it might sound like quite a lot of extra money, having something that fits your shape perfectly is always very nice, and not something many offer. Personally I love mesh just for the fact it fits so much better out of the box, and as I am somewhat lazy, having someone else do all the minro adjustments so that it fits like a glove? Yes please.

Kcreations Thigh Length Mesh Ponyboots

Finally got my PC back up and urnning, and logged in to a nice surprise for Kat Fetisov again.. More mesh!

Quality

Two differant pairs of boots. Patent and Leather, and they both look Beautiful. Been mesh helps for the thigh length, but the quality of the textures is just amazing. They also have a colour hud.. A ridiculously good one. I've included a screenshot as its easier to show than explain. Can adjust the shinyness, colour, texture.. everything. It really is great.

They have a nice tight strap at the top of the boots, and a small opening at the back.

Function

Here its.. Not as good I suppose, while still working. They can be locked, set to public, etc. Should they be locked and you hit safeword, they don't auto-release you, but instead set it up so that someone else can wander over and unlock the boots if they so wish. Nice little feature, better than just outright releasing you when you hit it.

You can also get a copy of the aforementioned HuD by hitting give hud in the menu.

I have a feeling these aren't meant as a restraint so much as a fetishy pony boot. They still work though, maybe just need an AO and maybe a hobble?

Scores

Quality - Straight up 10/10, I can find no faults with this.
Function - They do lack a lot, but Kat has a habit of updating gear later which is always good. What they do have works well and the hud is brilliant - 7/10
Price - 500 linden per pair. Can't complain. 8/10
Average -  8.5

Most epic restraint in SL ever

This it is, the best review I will ever do





















































































Average - 10/10

PS. Oops, its censored. Just like everything else will be after SOPA. Oh well

RF Armbinder

Here we go, something from RF again.

Quality

It looks pretty good. Quite shiny, quite tight.. A devil to fit properly though. I think I spent more time resizing the prims to fit me than I've done tied up in it. I also had to use an alpha to stop my arms clipping no matter what size I made it.. How on earth did we manage before alphas?

It has an optional belly strap/harness, a very nice addition. Pins the arms to the body more securely, looks nice and snug and is always a nice piece to add to any bondage. It has a few differant appearaces. Red Velvet, denim, etc. Straps adjustabled seperatly for good measure.


Function

Has some of Katies plugins, such as Keep Away and Invisi-cage. has her ice keys as well (Sort of a self imposed tiomelock. Gives the person a temporary set of keys that melt after a preset amount of hours.) Theres the good old time, a built in relay and the typical RLV menu stuff, as well as a leash of course.

Theres an escape mini-game, and.. That seems to be all really. Theres teh other usual stuff, style change, lock, etc which really don't need me to go into detail about..

Scores

Quality - a nice look, pain to fit. Needs an alpha in the box. 7/10
Function - It does what an armbinder does, has soem nice plugins, etc - 7/10
Price -600 Linden.. Same as the RR one, which I am sorry to say is better value. - 5/10
Average - 6.5

ER Doll Hood

Well.. Figured it was time to get this one out of the way

Quality

I can't really complain here. Its shiny, its latexy, it has a ton of colour options (uses full hexadecimal when you hit custom in the coloring menu, just say the hex number of the appropiate color, I.E #FF0000)


It cna have a sort of mouth hole placed at teh front, not unlike a ring gag I suppose. The buckles on the side of the hood can be hidden, theres some lacing at the back which cna also be hidden. All in all it looks like a decent hood. Shiny as least.

It also coems with a load of jacket layer collars of sorts to make the hood seem to go down around your neck to your shoulders.

It can also have a label put on the front of the hood.

It also has Hair.. If you fork out an extra 300 linden anyway.

Function

And suddenly everything goes wrong. When people buy a hood, they usually expect say.. a gag, maybe a blindfold amoungst other things. This hood? All it has to point out it been a restraint is that it cna be locked on. Literally all the function it carries is solely to adjust its appearance.

If someoen else locks you, they get only unlock, return keys and set label. The captive will get an Escape option which is just "Do you want out? Yes/No". Not an effective restraint at all.

Other Info

As far as I can tell, this hood is for RP purposes only. Its complete lack of any restraint functionality makes it terrible for anything other than that.

Scores
Quality - Credit where credit is due. Would be a 10 if hair was built in instead of an extra buy - 8/10
Function - What function? I can change its appearance but.. - 3/10
Price - 500 linden for the hood, 300 extra for hair per style. Because of the lack of use, this hoods purchase price seems high to me - 4/10
Average - 5

The T&T Obediance Belt

This is one of the most frequently asked for reviews. I would love to oblige, but I will not, and will explain why.

My reviews always cover the entire product. To do that I would first have to buy the Base T&T belt, thats 1200 linde, expensive in its ownr right. But it then cost me a further 5240 linden if I wanted all the plugins, which if I was to review the belt, I'd need to buy.

I do not have 6440 linden lieing around to spend on this. Even if I did have that much linden, i would NEVER spend it on one toy when I could use it to review about 20 others for the same cost.

Now stop asking! I can't and won't buy the belt.

Kidnapped" Tape Ballgag

Figured it was time to do a gag again, and a creater I've not covered much.

Quality

Its well.. a ballgag. Its well detailed around the buckles, rings and studs, but isn't anything new in terms of apperance. Shiny ball though always a plus. The tape is a nice addition however, though a little loose. It takes some adjusting to actually seem to be applied to the face, especially when its set to clear.

It has 24 colours built in for the ball, while the tape has 9, including clear which is transparent enough to see the ball and captives face through. The tape well.. It loks decent enough, but just not as good as the tape from the wrapped tape gag that they also do.

Function


Touch the ball, click gag. The ballgag is stuffed in and buckled on. Click add tape to apply the tape over the ball. Theres a timer of course, which is always good, and a struggle mini-game. Guess a number between 1 and 8000, 8 chances, when you guess, you get told if its higher or lower than your choice and you can adjust accordingly. Quite difficult though.

Under settings you can disable struggling and drooling, change the gender to male, and access RLV support. In here you can (if turned on) adjust whether or not they can chat, IM, IM their master and restrict emotes.

Theres permissions, in here you can change who can gag and ungag you. If another person is nearby, they can be added as a master as well by clicking the + next to their name in the list, and removed in the same way. You can adjust how strict the garbling is, and what channel they must use to actual be garbled. Unfortunatly it seems to lack force garbling via RLV.

Back in the main menu, you can get some assistance via the support menu (Help NC, join the group, the LM and update) and under extras you can get a tape roll that I think is aesthetic only.

You know, I think I could of copy and pasted the tape gag review from earlier here..

Scores

Quality - The ball looks good, the tape not so much. - 6/10
Function - Kidnappeds stuff has decent functionality, but thats about it really - 6/10
Price - 250 linden.. The lack of tape gags makes this somewhat worth it, though the lack of actual things built in hurts it - 6/10
Average - 6


Other stuff

The creater of kidnapped doesn't seem to be releasing new gear anymore, and I;ve not heard of any new updates, so its possible that kidnappeds entire range of gags can be covered functionally by this review, and that the only differance would be looks.

KaS Neck Corset and Chastity belt

First review of 2012! KaS restraints, which will mean I've covered the entire store..

Neck Corset

Quality

First up, this is KaS. I really don't need to say it looks good, because lets face it, all KaS gear does. All it really needs is an option to hide the metal bar at the front  and maybe have an option to cover the mouth and it would be perfect.. At least to this reviewers opinion.

Liek all KaS gear, it comes with a lot of built in colours, with each section able to be done seperately (Main corset, border, lacing and metal) as wlel as a pattern option that gives it a small design around the dges, that can be a little hard to see.

Function

Lets start as normal, top left. Leash.. Unlike most, you can actually press this and have the leash go into your own hand. Then theres AnyLeash. This lets you leash yourself (or your captive) to anyone and anything in SL. To my knowledge, theres nothing it cannot leash to, though I'm nto sure how it works with mesh objects yet. Third option is leash lnegth, self explainitory.

Bottom left is lock, with the secone been posture. Posture adjusts how high up your head is forced by the neck corset, with normal been not too strict, and high been very. Lastly we have the options menu.

In here, we have a lto more things. Up the top is Update, then add owner. The neck corset can have 5 owners.. And once oen is added, I believe a lot of the options in this menu disapear. Be careful of that. Theres Rem. Owner after it, followed by resize and Hide. Hide is handy for wandering around without removing your (or your subs) restraint as always. You can set it to private or public use, which works well with the hide command as well.

Theres Gag mode, though saldy this does not make the corset lengthen up to cover yoru mouth. It adjust the chin covering to accomodate your mouth bee wide open. Can be set to off, on or auto. Lastly we have Coloring, self explainitory and Animate, which lets you access the the built in anims, and I think you can drop more in as well.

Chastity Belt

Quality

Moving onto the belt now. Its made of tight metal, with what looks to be a rubber border around the waist. Not much to say really, its tight, made of metal and its KaS, so its very highly detailed. You can adjust how glossy it is (Border/metal can be done seperatly or together) and both the border and metal of the belt can be recoloured.

Function

First theres lock, and leave/take key. Can be set to public or private use (private means the key is required for non-owners to use), a leash and some more leashing options. You can leash to a post, or have the belt get a chain to link it to other KaS objects. Lnegth is of course adjustable.

The next menu is Toys.. I think people can guess whats in here. VIbes can be shoved in, turned on and off as well as set to differant levels. theres also a strapon. You can also hide the belt here, or have the metal crotch covering removed or re-secured depending on your mood.
,
Back to the main menu. Next up is Inspect, which works with Sensations if you use their gear. Next is Give Tools, which gives out two leash holders (one ofr each hand) as well a leash post, a post script for making your own and a manual for the belt.

Next we have options. Theres a **help** option, fairly obvious. The color/shine menu, and update. Then theres the sound volume, which adjust how loud the vibrators get.. Followed by resize. Next is chat menu. This allows you to turn on a channel and command to access the belt without touching it. You can adjust which channel its set to, so only you and your owner knows it if you so desire.

You can allow or deny orgasms with the next option, presumably this works with Sensations again. Lastly there is underwear, a nice little option that makes out that the belt is now worn under your clothing. Very handy as it allows the belt to be left active with whatever nasty options are turned on, as opposed to Hide belt that removes everything.
