I have never been very good at Technical things . . . I always seem to forget numbers and codes. And combination locks in particular always give me problems . . . so I much prefer to use keys instead!
The problem is though, I tend to have so many keys, that I often forget which key unlocks which lock!
Still, it does give me time to have my shoes cleaned whilst I try to remember!!!

I’ve had a lot of fun over the past few weekends wearing-in the set of Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs, from Honour.co.uk, that I reviewed here several weeks ago. By “wearing-in” I don’t mean that I’ve been wearing them myself of course . . . rather I’ve used them on several of my subs during some fun sessions at my favourite chambers . . . and they’ve proved very useful indeed!
Now I’ve always loved the fabulous range of clothing and accessories available from Honour, particularly their amazingly priced latex range and their wonderful selection of body-stockings. And over the past four years or so I’ve purchased, or had purchased for me, lots of clothing items, and even my wonderful thigh-high red boots which I am so often asked about . . . from the fabulous Honour website.
So when I was invited to visit their Central London shop in Waterloo recently, I just couldn’t resist !!!
Located in a lovely little street called Lower Marsh, it is literally just around the corner from Waterloo station, so really easy to get to by tube, rail or bus. Instantly recognisable from the distinctive Honour logo above the display window, one has to ring the bell to enter, but don’t be put-off, that just adds to the intimacy and personal-nature of the shop. We were immediately greeted by a lovely smiling young lady who opened the door for us and welcomed us in.
The shop was Honour’s founding store, opened 30 years ago, and inside is like an Aladdin’s cave of wall-to-wall garments, neatly displayed on impressive hanger-racks on each side of the long galley-shaped ground-floor. The actual sight of so many wonderful and colourful items was almost overwhelming at first, but actually everything is so neatly arranged in size and style . . . and the two lovely young ladies Amy and Anita so charming and helpful . . . that I quickly felt completely at ease, and able to indulge myself in browsing from rack to rack.
The ground-floor largely features Honour’s Women’s Wear with a wonderful array of PVC and Leather, Latex and Wetlook, Basques & Corsets, Dresses, Tops, Skirts, Bras, Catsuits, Leggings & Trousers, Jackets, Stockings & Suspenders, Body-Stockings, Knickers and Lingerie.
I was in my element . . . and soon had several hangers-worth of items that I simply had to try on.
The changing rooms have been cleverly and stylishly designed to make the best of the available space with ample mirrors and lighting . . . and Amy and Anita were both wonderfully patient in taking turns with helping me with the zips and buttons, in-between serving and helping other customers at the same time, and advising on the most suitable size to best fit my bumps and curves.
Putting my preferred selections to one side . . . so that I could come back to them and be sure that I had made the right choices . . . I then led Hubby upstairs which houses the Men’s Wear and Bondage items and “toys”.
Now as you can probably imagine, I already have quite an extensive collection of restraints and impact implements, but a fabulous thorny-stemmed Riding Crop(see below) quickly caught my eye, and a few short gulps from Hubby as I tapped it gently against the palm of his hand.
Just like the ground floor every space is, stylishly, packed with an amazing array of clothing and some very interesting dildos, vibrators and accessories.
I enjoyed browsing . . . and teasing Hubby with some rather large insertables . . . but decided to stick with my new crop, and instructed him to follow me back downstairs.
As I mentioned earlier, Honour do have a fabulous website which is perfectly laid-out, easy to use and categorizes their complete and comprehensive range of wonderful items. And there is a helpful touch-screen tablet on a stand near the downstairs counter, which makes it easy to search for specific items one may be interested in, or have seen on the website earlier.
But for me, as you might imagine, I much prefer being “hands-on” in everything I do . . . so nothing beats being able to browse in a real shop, to touch and feel . . . and of course to try things on. And it was nice to see other couples, browsing and purchasing whilst we were there, who obviously felt the same way.
And of course, the helpful and knowledgeable attention and advice from Amy and Anita made my shopping feel even more special . . . so I really do recommend you visit and experience some Honour for yourself.
The shop at Lower Marsh (SE1 7AB) is open Monday to Friday from 10.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on Sundays). There is also a store in Watford (WD18 7EN), with directions to both on their website.
The Modesty Disclaimer: I was given a voucher for my honest and un-biased review here. But I loved my time in the shop so much that I spent much more . . . or should I say, I made Hubby spend much more . . . because after-all a lady deserves spoiling occasionally doesn’t she !!!
“Bouquet !!! . . . I’m expecting more than flowers for my Tribute!” I hissed as my first stroke landed.
“No Mistress. It’s spelt differently. It’s Bokeh and it’s this week’s theme at Sinful Sunday. It’s to do with photography and depth-of-field” he whimpered as I swished again.
“Depth!” I laughed as I began to swipe harder now. “You’ll get your depth
later on . . . but you’ll be facing in the wrong direction for taking photos!”
For more observations about Bokeh’s . . . but possibly even more blurred . . .

I’ve been very lucky over the past few years to acquire quite a collection of restraint and bondage accessories during my fun “hobby-time” sessions. But of course, it’s always nice to have more to choose from whenever I’m packing my bag(s) for a new appointment.
So it was quite a thrill recently to be asked by my favourite fetish-fashion company honour.co.uk, if I would like to review one of their new HNRX Bondage items.
I first came across Honour in the summer of 2014, at The Great British Tattoo Exhibition, where I bought my first Latex Corselette. And I have purchased numerous items of clothing from the wonderful, and easy to use, Honour website in the four years since.
And having often been seduced by their amazing range of clothing in the past,
I was certainly intrigued to “test” a set of their HNRX Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs.
As always, the parcel arrived perfectly and discretely packaged, in a strong brown cardboard box, which upon opening, contained two separate, black cardboard boxes (approx, 4 inches square) for the Cuffs themselves, and two smaller rectangular boxes for two “Trigger Hook” devices (more on these later).
As you can see from my photos here, the boxes are all stylishly designed in Black and Purple with strong, white corrugated cardboard inner sleeves lining the Cuff boxes which also contain two metal locks and keys for each Cuff set.
Both Cuffs are made from heavy rubber latex which is actually very stiff . . . much, much stiffer than you would probably imagine. In fact my initial reaction on taking them out of the box is that they felt “too stiff and unwieldy” in comparison to my existing collection of (well used) leather bondage cuffs.
However, I am happy to say that my concern was only temporary as the natural curve of the rubber actually made them quite easy to attach to my willing assistant. They seem to hold their shape more than my leather cuffs and, I was told, felt “quite smooth and comfortable” once buckled-up . . . at least until he was clipped to the flogging-frame!
The manufacture of the cuffs is sturdy and impressive with the inner bands themselves being almost 3mm thick and 50mm wide. These bands are secured to a thinner (25mm wide) outer tongue-strap by four rows of chrome double studs. This outer strap has a chrome D and O ring at it’s middle, with a heavy duty chrome buckle at one end, and six slots to fit over the buckle tongue when secured.
The Wrist Cuffs are 27cm in length (to fit wrists from 12 to 22cm circumference), whilst the Ankle Cuffs are 32cm in length (to fit ankles from 20 to 29cm circumference). And, having had the pleasure of using them twice now since their arrival in my mailbox, I must say that despite my initial concern about their rigidity, I am very impressed.
Especially when used in conjunction with Honour’s ES Double Trigger Hooks. These are separate accessories to the Cuffs, but I highly recommend that you purchase . . . not just because they clip so easily into the O-rings of the HNRX Cuffs, but because they clip so easily into absolutely anything with buckles, chains, hooks or loops.
These heavy duty, double-ended Hooks are 10cm in length and are made from Die Cast Zinc, with a Chrome-like finish, with an easy-to-use trigger-release mechanism at each end. They are light to handle and just perfect for quickly attaching . . . and quickly releasing whenever you are ready. So a safe and user-friendly accessory for the user and the used . . . if you know what I mean, and I really do recommend these as must-have items for all of your every-day restraint requirements!
So . . . as I said earlier . . . I have been shopping at honour.co.uk for lots of my play-time latex and lingerie for several years, but these exciting Rubber Cuffs have certainly piqued my interest and I am sure to be tapping on that “Bondage” tab more and more in the future.
As always, there are some more technical descriptions of the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Wrist & Ankle Cuffs below:

The Modesty Video Review: If you ask nicely, you may just see a clip of the cuffs in action here in the very near future.
The HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Cuffs and the HNRX ES Double Trigger Hooks were sent to me, free-of-charge by honour.co.uk, for an honest and un-biased review.
The Modesty Rider:
I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adept at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me, sexy clothes and lingerie, sexy toys . . . and even sexy books . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!! Just to explain “how it was for me” in a fun, and light-hearted, way without taking things too seriously! Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.

“What’s that you’re saying? You don’t like it when I tap you there?” I laughed.
“No Mistress” he gasped aloud again.
“But you said you were mine. All mine you said!” I reminded him.
“Yes Mistress . . . Yes Mistress, it all belongs to you” he agreed.
“You said you were transfixed by me . . . didn’t you say that???” I squeezed (gently of course!)
“Yes Mistress . . . transfixed Mistress . . . transformed since meeting you.”
he nodded attentively.
“Good . . . that’s just what I like to hear!” I told him. “And next week, I may just try to remember to bring your keys with me!”
But you don’t have to wait until next week, because there are sure to be lots of other Transformations available, right now by squeezing (gently remember!) the Sinful Sunday lips below!
“Well I don’t care how I look . . . at least I’m trying to do something about getting rid of them”. I shouted at Hubby’s guffaws.
“Perhaps if you’d not left the balcony door open, these bloody midges wouldn’t have gotten into the room in the first place”.
“And well you may laugh . . . because just as soon as they’ve gone . . .
you’re fucking next!!!””
For more Sinful Sunday promises this weekend . . . simply swat the lips below!Xxx – K
