Finger Claws

For today's review, I'll be looking at Finger Claws by Agreeable Agony. As always, click any image for a larger version!


 Back:
 Closer as pinpoint, further as dual-sensation:
 Dual scratch:


I really, really love scratching things.1 If you're not into scratching, you should check out an Agreeable Agony candle or rope kit instead.2 If you are though, these claws absolutely rock. Made of brass or stainless steel depending on your preference, these can be easily molded to your (or a friend's) exact finger tip size with pliers.

Sensation-wise, these claws can as easily tickle as they can leave raised marks. As the tips are slightly curved, far more pressure is required than one would expect to break skin. Depending on where you rest the claw, and the length of your nails, changes play. With shorter nails or the claw set close enough to your nail bed so your nail is covered before the metal tapers, the person getting scratched will only feel the claw's tip, and thus get sensitized to its pinpoint location. Worn this way with the claw as the only focal point, far more pain can be felt. With longer nails, or the claws set far back enough that when angling them downwards both the finger nail and claw scratch skin, is the second option. I preferred this method as the dual sensation of a wider scrape followed by a sharp scratch is lovely. Either method can include the cool metal band making contact first, followed by a finger tip, and then the claw(s).

The Finger Claws make for a lovely accessory at any kinky event, especially one with a later play party. These are also great backup claws for reducing the need of long nails for scratching. Cleaning for either the brass claws or stainless steel claws can be done with rubbing alcohol. Be sure to clean before and after use.

1 My patronus would be a cat/dragon hybrid.
2 Or use them as kitten scratchers and miniature pope hats (which go well with Divine Intervention toys).

Grade Breakdown: 97

Value: 5/5
$10 per claw
free shipping within the US

Aesthetics: 17/20
These are a little too minimalist for my taste.

Pleasure: 75/75
Intended Functionality: 5/5
Reusability: 20/20
Easily cleaned,
great for marking up someone to spicing up a massage.
Best Functionality: 50/50
The dual sensation scratches
with two claws is the best.

Thanks Agreeable Agony!

Pitcher Candle

For today's review I'll be looking at Agreeable Agony's Pitcher Candle. Click any image to see the full version!

Size Comparison:

This adorable candle is simply fantastic. If I wasn't into wax play before, I would be after playing with this candle! For use, the longer you leave the candle lit the more wax it melts, though at a slowing rate. This wait time builds anticipation nicely, and given how cute these candles are, you could get a pair for a candle lit dinner and show. I found an hour wait time optimal for amount of wax produced and testing patience. Though you can leave the candle burning when pouring the wax, I would recommend blowing it out so you don't burn the glass pitcher. For lighting, I found matches easier than a typical lighter, especially as more wax was used.

The wax itself holds its color well, and is rather soft and flexible. Other colors currently offered are black, blue, red, dark red, and purple. Though it will pull at any hair it dries on, it will not tug especially hard nor will it remove hair. The wax burns at a lower temperature than most candles (124F), so the wax feels pleasantly warm going on rather than super hot. Naturally, the more sensitive the area the wax is dripped, the hotter it feels. (If you're interested in a hotter candle, this one burns at 130F.) The pitcher makes for easy pouring, and tends to pour thin strands of wax; it can also be held at a lesser angle to produce drips. Even when using on genitals or nipples though, there is no burning- just heat. Wax can be peeled off easily, and on me occasionally leaves red spots- which go away rather quickly. 

This is an especially sexy toy, that's a blast to use alone or on another person. As an added bonus, once you finish off the candle, you have an adorable mini pitcher. As this candle doesn't burn at a high temperature and is nonthreatening, it's the perfect candle for those new to wax play. I would advise getting at least two in different colors if you're into the aesthetics of wax drippings. 

Grade Breakdown: 100! 

Value: 5/5   
If you're even slightly interested, and able to, you should buy this.
Seriously.

 Aesthetics: 20/20 
Makes super gorgeous wax pictures on skin. 

Pleasure: 75/75 
Intended Functionality: 5/5 
Fabulous for wax play.
Reusability: 20/20 
Even though it's finite, the candle lasts quite a while, 
and can be reused until all the wax is gone.
Best Functionality: 50/50 
I find it especially awesome for nipple play. 

Thank you Agreeable Agony!

Kinky HP School Kits: Ravenclaw

For today's review I'll be looking at Agreeable Agony's Kinky HP School Kit in Ravenclaw. Click any image to see the full version!

Bagged:
 Close up:
 Front Harness:
 Front Weave:

As you can see, this rope is super gorgeous. I opted for the Ravenclaw coloring, as I would have been placed there (though I like to think I would have hung out with the Slytherins). However the other color combinations also look to be aesthetically pleasing, especially Slytherin. This set comes in a convenient and cute Ziploc bag for easy storage and transportation. The rope lengths included are: one 50', one 25', and two 15'. These ordinarily come in a 1/4'' solid braid, but can be done slightly thicker (3/8'') on request. If 95 feet of rope just doesn't sound like enough for your magical fantasies, or if you want a strand of rope from each house, their rope can also be purchased by the foot in Harry Potter colors.

The 1/4'' MFP rope is rather light, smooth, a bit slick, and soft. The colors are vivid and gorgeous. They also offer rope in 1/8'' or 5/16'', depending on if you like your rope lighter and thinner or heavier, thicker, and able to carry more weight. There are quite a few options for other colors, should the house colors not strike your fancy. You can also mix two or three colors together for a fun custom coloring. This rope is machine washable for easy cleaning, and resistant to most lubricants and oils. You can find the rope's weight limits here

Some lovely things that I was able to make with this rope set (you'd probably able to do these with the amounts in this set, but if you like to use lots of looping or are on the larger side you may need more rope):
                   
                      -simple top harness
                      -waist cincher
                      -wrist and ankle cuffs
                      -4 poster bed restraints
                      -hogtie
                      -armbinder
                      -leg warmers
                      -collar and leash
                      -bulky boxing wraps
                      -pretty rope imprints

All in all this is a lovely and playful set of rope. Also, due to the Harry Potter factor, the rope isn't very threatening and may be easier to bring up with a partner new to rope play. This is definitely a must-have for any kinky Harry Potter fan. 

Grade Breakdown: 99
