Red Leather Black Eye Mask, Vegetable Tanned

This black eye mask from Red Leather is cut from vegetable-tanned leather made in Europe. Vegetable tanning gives the leather a firm, full feel and a natural character that deepens as it ages, so the mask looks better with regular use instead of wearing out. At 36 g it is light enough to forget once it is on, while the leather keeps out the light far better than a fabric sleep mask.

Taking away sight is one of the simplest ways to sharpen every other sense. A light touch, the sound of a buckle or the brush of a flogger feels much bigger when your partner cannot see it coming. Place the mask over the eyes, adjust it so it sits snugly without pressing on the eyeballs, and check that your partner is comfortable before you begin. It pairs naturally with leather cuffs and a collar for a coherent look in bondage scenes.

Even with only a blindfold, agree on a safeword beforehand and talk your partner through what is happening if they are new to sensory deprivation. Take the mask off slowly afterwards, because the eyes need a moment to adjust to the light.

To care for it, wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth, let it air dry away from heat and treat it now and then with a leather balm to keep it supple.
