Why use a blindfold during sex? Taking away sight changes how everything else feels. The wearer cannot see what is coming next, so each touch arrives as a surprise, and attention shifts to skin, sound and scent. A blindfold is also one of the simplest ways to try sensory play and light power exchange. It needs no skill, it comes off in a second, and it combines easily with restraints, ticklers or simply a slower pace.
Sex and Mischief Satin Blindfold in black or red
This blindfold from the Sex and Mischief line by Sportsheets is made of soft satin in two layers, so it sits smoothly against the face and blocks out light. The edge is trimmed with Velboa fabric. Elastic straps hold it in place and stretch to fit, which makes it quick to put on and take off.
It is sold in black and in red. Apart from the color, the two are the same blindfold.
Best for: For couples who want to try sensory deprivation in the simplest way possible. It is a comfortable first blindfold, an easy add-on to cuffs or a tickler, and light enough to wear for a whole scene.

How to use
Agree beforehand on what will happen while the blindfold is on, and choose a word that means stop. Place the satin over the eyes and pull the elastic over the back of the head. Adjust it so no light leaks in around the nose. The wearer can then lie back while the other partner sets the pace. Vary touch, temperature and timing. To end, simply lift the blindfold off. Give the eyes a moment to adjust to the light.
Care
- Hand wash in cool water with a little mild soap.
- Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry or iron.
- Avoid getting lubricant or oil on the satin, which can mark it.
- Store flat so the elastic does not stretch out.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a difference between the black and red blindfolds?
Only the color. Both are double-layered satin with Velboa trim and an elastic strap. Pick the one that matches your other gear or lingerie.
Will it fit my head?
The strap is elastic, so it stretches to fit. No measurements are given in the product listing.
Does it block out all light?
The maker describes it as slipping the wearer into darkness, and the satin is double layered. How complete the blackout is depends on how it sits around the nose.
How does it compare with the Shadow Hood?
The Shadow Hood covers more of the head and has extra padding over the eyes. This blindfold is the lighter, simpler option that covers only the eyes.
