It’s always nice to receive a big parcel in the post isn’t it. Especially when that parcel rattles and clinks … and especially when you open it up to find …
 a Stainless Steel Restraint Ring inside !!!


So you can imagine my delight on being sent this wonderfully new and different device from Sohimi … a new, to me at least, sex toy manufacturer.


The company website has a reasonably extensive collection of products encompassing the usual range of vibrators, dildos for both women and men, as well as anal toys, male masturbators and sex dolls. But it was of course this Ring that caught my eye as something rather unusual … and something I could certainly put to good use in my FemDom adventures as I hadn’t come across anything like it before.

So … let’s get my two cons out of the way first, before I get to my pros !!!

Firstly, that interesting rattling and clinking did have a downside in that, apparently, the postman was clearly intrigued and observed “don’t know if it’s still in one-piece or not?” As actually one corner of the box had suffered a little crush-damage that, whilst it hadn’t split or opened, did appear to be pushed-out a little from the inside. So the internal packing would certainly benefit from additional wrapping (perhaps with crushed brown paper balls or something similar).


And secondly, the locks (more later*) are in my opinion too small to make for easy attachment.


But, as with all the items at Sohimi, the Ring is actually very, very reasonably priced …

Now … with my favourite chambers closed during lockdown I have been unable to do any proper “field-testing”.

But luckily I always have a resident “fall-back” so-to-speak … Subby1 … of course.

As you will see from my photos here the ring is supplied as three curved sections and one straight bar. Made from high-quality, ¾ inch diameter, Stainless Steel, the curves easily push together, secured by a push-button rivet which slots into a hole on the adjoining ends of each section.

There are actually two holes about an inch apart which allow for a slightly wider overall diameter of the final ring. Using this wider setting, the overall diameter of my Subs ring, makes 23 inches across.

The idea of the horizontal restraining bar, with a welded triangular D-ring at each end, is that the ring is placed over the submissives bare-bottom, and the bar is secured in position under his, or her, stomach by locking each end to a corresponding D-ring on the outer section.

Now this procedure does take some practice … and was somewhat frustrating and difficult to achieve with my initial excitement … and Subby1’s nervous discomfort.

*It was finally achieved though, as you can see from the photos below. And, as you can also see, it did present a fun target for me to begin my spanking. However, as that spanking intensified and Subby1’s jerking and twisting increased, one of the locks actually came apart. 


But, as you can probably imagine, I do have lots of locks in my collection … all of them bigger. And that proved to be the saviour of our interrupted session.
The longer shafts of my bigger locks made it much easier and subsequently much quicker to fit.

And that meant our session was able to continue successfully … to my satisfaction, if not Subby1’s.


A small black, leather-look, hand whip is also included with the Ring. Though my preference is for larger, heavier implements, it is actually well made and more than suitable for gentle teasing and arousal.

So … I am so looking forward to further “field-testing” in the near future hopefully. With my bigger locks of course!!!

The Sohimi Stainless Steel Ring was sent to me, free-of-charge,  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.

We could all do with some joy and enlivenment at the moment couldn’t we! Something to motivate and invigorate us from the uncertainty and unease which currently seems to burden our everyday lives.

Well, I think I have the perfect suggestion to brighten up our days, and nights, and it comes from a new, to me at least, company called www.tantalizeme.com

Now, as well as offering a wide range of high-quality sex toy products, from some of the most well-known manufacturers in the world, Tantalize Me specialise in Adult Subscription Boxes and Sexy Gift options.

I’m sure lots of you are familiar with subscription boxes delivering everything from books, arts and crafts, fashion accessories, beauty products and food and ready-made meals.

But for me, none of the above have inspired or excited me as much as when I recently received my first Tantalize Me Gift Box.

Now, Tantalize Me, offer 12 Adult Toy and Lingerie Collection Box options, including a Ladies Solo Box, Gents Fleshlight Box, Ladies & Gents Couples Box, BDSM and Kinky Boxes and Lelo and Coco-de-Mer Boxes. Or, of course, you can choose the Build Your Own Collection Box.

I chose the Lelo Couples Gift Box …

As you would expect, the package arrived discretely packaged in a plain, strong cardboard, outer delivery box. But, as I hope my photographs will show, the Tantalize Me box itself is anything but plain.

It is beautifully constructed from strong, matt-laminated, heavy black cardboard with the Tantalize Me tastefully printed logo on the top of the hinged lid. This is delightfully secured with a fabric ribbon, tied teasingly … and tantalizingly … in a lovely bow at the front. The ribbon slides through a slot in the narrow folded-down lip of the lid which corresponds with a same-sized slot in the front of the box.

Upon undoing the bow and lifting the lid, one is presented with a black tissue-paper wrapping sealed with a tiny gold heart in the middle. Everything about the presentation exudes quality and care, a feeling perfectly mirrored in the contents of the box as well.

Tantalize Me choose only quality products and those of you who have purchased any Lelo items before will know the quality of manufacture of their products.

My selection had the Lelo Tiani 3 and the Tor 2 Vibrating Couples Ring along with a 240ml bottle of Wicked Hybrid Intimate Lubricant … and a luxurious 200pp Taschen book.

I will possibly review the Lelo toys in the future as this post is about the concept of Tantalize Me’s Subscription Box range, rather than the specific contents. But I simply have to mention the luxurious, soft-covered, book by Taschen that was also included in the box.

It’s 200 pages are filled with gorgeous soft-focussed, sepia toned, wonderfully erotic photographs and intriguing interviews with many of photographers models on their personal desires and fantasies that accompany their self-playtime moments. It came as a complete surprise to me, and something that I would never have known about had it not been included in my Gift Box.

And that is for me what is one of the most appealing and interesting aspects of Tantalize Me’s boxes. That element of surprise and intrigue, that sense of something different and new. All packaged and presented with superb quality and attention to detail.

Of course the Boxes are not just about surprise or difference because as a subscriber you can let Tantalize Me know what items you already own and so don’t want duplicates of. They will then adjust the contents of your Gift Box accordingly … even should you be ordering one of their Monthly Date Night, or Quarterly Premium Subscription Boxes.

And you can choose different themes and moods, box by box, from the Tantalize Me Collection Boxes options as well. So the perfect opportunity to try something a little Kinky, or some BDSM themed-fun, or from a choice of Lady & Gent Couples, Lady Couples, Male Couples or perhaps just for Solo Playtime indulgence.

There are combinations to suit all tastes and desires … and in fact, with that sense of difference and anticipation in mind, I think any of those combination boxes make a perfect surprise gift for a loved one, or “special friend”.

Or perhaps you have your mind set on trying a particular vibrator, wand or item of lingerie yourself from the amazing range of Tantalize Me’s accessories. All compiled with that attention to quality and detail that I mentioned earlier.

So … as I say, we could all do with some fun and excitement at the moment … and I can thoroughly recommend that by visiting Tantalize Me you are sure to find something to inspire and excite, not just for the moment, but for days and nights to come!!!
