Restrained Freedom - Bandage Wrap

Deirdre:

We’re running a bit late on this one, but presenting the Bandage Wrap restraint system by Restrained Freedom.

Early adopters of viewers with bleeding edge features will enjoy the snugness of this toy, as Katie created it with the new Fitted Mesh.

Note that lelo looks quite good in the wrap even without fitted mesh!

Bondage bunnies will rejoice at the ton of features included, the little mini-games in particular.

Two textures (bandage or tape) and a color hud will make the wrap look any way you like.

By the way, we missed the RF Rope Coil release, which Katie sent me on December 31st - you can see Aria’s review for the details.

lelo:
Something new from the fertile mind of Katie at Restrained Freedom, with these new Bandage Wrap she proves that she’s at the cutting edge of SL development.

No pun intended, but these bandages feature not only the newish SL Materials Technology but also fitted mesh.

Not bad for a bondage bunny, because that's what she will always be, and it shows when you look at the long list of options you get with these wraps.

Just to name a few, you can select tape or bandage, both can be color adjusted and also shine and glow can be changed in the menu or with the included HUD.

There are all kinds of games to try and struggle out of the wraps and as you might expect every possible RLV option is available.

Only down side is that all these options make the menu pretty big and navigating it takes a bit of getting used too.

Still this will give you hours of fun, watching your significant other slithering on the floor or doing the patented mummified Wriggle Dance. *smiles*

Restrained Freedom - DJ Gag

Deirdre:

A very neat toy by Restrained Freedom tonight, this is the DJ Gag. If it looks familiar, you probably watch Britney videos with one finger on the pause button.

This cool gag is shown for a few seconds around 2:08, sporting the distinctive “b” logo of Beats by Dr. Dre. (Katie’s has her RF logo instead.. fair enough.)

Naughty suggestion of the week : everyone call the store and order a Britney gag, just to make them uncomfortable ;)

The straps have a nylon texture, and shiny rivets anchoring the speakers part solidly. Cool little RF padlocks hold things firmly in place on the sub’s head.

The vendor blurb says materials processing is applied to the speaker grille, and since Firestorm doesn’t let me see that yet so I’ll take Katie’s word. For now. I’ll check in 3 months, Katie! ;)

So, a cool and clever toy by the queen of bondage bunnies, and a fast release - the video premiered in September!

lelo:
Ok, i’ve heard of using music to silence someone, but here they took it a bit too literal, Katie painstakingly copied the original and added her own special magic to it.

You will find all the usual Restrained Freedom options in this gag, more locking options than you would ever need, renamers, garblers… everything really.

But there are a few things that really stand out with this one, first there is the primary use of this gag, the sound machine, it comes with a dance, music note particles and a sound bite of the original song. This will make you the center of every party, just a pity it can’t stream music.

Then there was a surprising option i haven't seen in SL before, you can uses sign language when wearing this gag, i nearly fell off my chair, this is brilliant, ok there are only 17 words, but that’s more than you would usually be able to utter wearing a gag like this and the most important sign is in it as well “love you”, what more do you need? *smiles*

Now the question is does this portable speaker system have a ipod dock or is it usable for the more generic audio solutions. *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Mesh Hood

Deirdre:

You know how we love hot off the press here.. well the Restrained Freedom Mesh Hood is going on sale tomorrow - how’s that for hot? ;)

I called Katie yesterday and said hi, what’s new? She said not much, except for that hood I’m releasing soon… she’s such a dear ;)

This versatile mesh hood has six shapes included - they might very well have been six different products. Throw in the straps, the gags, the ears… I’d hate to count all the permutations!

The long manual is definitely worth reading; this toy will keep you busy for hours just trying variations :)

Lelo does a good job of touching most of the features, so I’ll just mention the renamer in the gag, which will prefix everything you say, and the smart emoter, which will garble only the text you emote, and not the actual emote verb.

If you like variety in your bondage hoods, this toy is definitely for you.

lelo:
Toy time tonight, this time by the girl that needs to be restrained so she’ll slow down once in awhile, Katie Paine from Restrained Freedom. *winks*

Next to the hood being all meshy, it’s full of all kind of goodies you might expect from a bondage bunny like Katie.

Just the keys access part takes 3 pages in the considerable manual, there are main keys, master keys, emergency keys and a so called ice key.

That last one is very interesting and the first time i think i’ve seen one in SL, it gives someone control over your key for a set time, great for a play around bondage bunny.

There are 6 hood types included in this on, i’m wearing the monk and maiden version here, next to that you can add a panel or ball gag, earmuffs and a blindfold.

Next to that you can change the color and texture of the separate hood parts, add the fun ears on top of it, select a laced or zippered style and have your hair stick out of the back of the hood.

As you might expect from a Restraint Freedom toy, it comes with every possible RLV option you can imagine and you do see that Katie lives in RLV. *smiles*

So get your hood and get restrained… this one should keep you busy for a while.

Restrained Freedom - Mesh Armbinder

Deirdre:

Scooped again!  Eh, Aria’s a pal, so we don’t mind ;)

Katie is a dear but giving bloggers a call when she releases new toys is not one of her strengths.

Fortunately a few people tipped us to the armbinder. One even told us before it came out - thank you all! :)

The Restrained Freedom Mesh Armbinder - you know by now I make a point of naming items in the post, not just in the title - is a good-looking toy. It has a really wide variety of textures included, including zebra and leopard print.. you know, for humiliation ;)

The straps are extremely detailed, with great textures, rivets, and padlocks at the buckles (which lelo assures me point the right way).

The center of the straps is a chest piece with a solid-looking D-ring, suitable for leashing.

The whole thing is transferable, so buy it for the bondage bunny/doll in your life, and I’m guessing you’ll be rewarded by enthusiastic squeaks of delight ;)

lelo:
Another day, another restraint... guess who got lucky this time.. meeeee.. *winks*

Seems Katie is slowly converting all her lovely toys to mesh, with all its lovely bone-following attributes. Tonight we are having a look at her new mesh armbinder.

The armbinder comes with all the locking, leashing and RLV options you might ever want, including a built-in relay.

There are even 3 games included in the binder, so you won’t get bored while locked up, now isn’t that considerate of Katie.

The menu gives you the option to use the the crotch strap and if you want to use the handsack or if you want to show the (mesh) hands.

But the thing i really love about this binder is the look and the ease of changing it to match your current outfit.

You can use the menu, but the included HUD makes things much easier, there are leather and latex presets for the binder and the straps.

There are also presets for the fingernails and skin color or you can use the color chart to select your own color.

And if all else fails you can even insert your own texture into the binder, wooden binders anyone? *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Mesh Straitjacket

Deirdre:

If you ran to Restrained Freedom after reading our post a few weeks back to go pick up the Body Cast, you must have thought we were hallucinating, as the item in the front door vendor was now the Mesh Straitjacket.

Well, if I had created a mesh straitjacket ahead of the esteemed competition, I imagine I’d want to release it ASAP too ;)

It’s a canvas and brown leather design that reminds me of the Humane Restraint products (they’ve probably been an unknowing kinky supplier for years!).

The collar on the jacket is a separate part; when lelo tried on the supplied body shape then returned to her own size, we found the colllar had vanished.

It didn’t take us long to figure out that it was inside her chest. She reached in like a magician producing a rabbit, and all was well ;)

They don’t show up very well on my picture, but if you look closely, you’ll see some excellent detailed straps and locks at the rear, in an alternating left-and-right design that would be annoying in RL but looks great here.

lelo:
Woohoo, seems we are finding more and more toys in SL lately and i find myself in more and more restraint positions, not that i’m complaining. *smiles*

The jacket is mesh with all the usual pro’s and con’s, Katie supplies 3 sizes and a shape for ease of fitting.

The medium fit me perfectly, i only had to shorten my arms to fit them under the stomach strap, if you don’t want to change your shape you can hide the extra strap in the menu.

Speaking of the menu, it offers you all kinds of settings, from RLV, owners, times, poses, all the way to a elaborate coloring and texturing system.

We went for the boring canvas and leather mental institution look, you can’t beat a classic. *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Body Cast

Deirdre:

We stopped by Restrained Freedom and the first thing we saw in the door was the Body Cast. It’s new, it’s right in the door. Take notes, other designers!

Two other things are right in the door: a cool box of freebies, and a height-weight scale that told me how tall I am (not saying) with heels.

I thought my big ponytail was added to the measurement, but it turns out it isn’t. The z-adjustment in Phoenix is, though, so I seemed taller than lelo. The scale emitted an opinion about my BMI as well, so I gagged it ;)

The body cast is fun, and the shape is good - this isn’t a dumb cylinder, it really does look like a very tightly wrapped body.

Katie was at the shop when we dropped in, and pointed out the basement dungeon, full of fun naughty “damsel in distress” type bondage furniture.

She hastened to add that this gear was not intended for snuff play, just peril. So don’t actually push that guillotine button - oops.

lelo:
Ok, guess what i got as a 5 year celebration gift from my Mistress, a lovely new body cast, ain’t i a lucky doll. *smiles*

All fun aside this is the new offering from our favorite bondage bunny Katie Paine, it’s a pain to catch her not in some form of intricate bondage that leaves her speechless.

The body cast is a simple mesh prim, just like a real body cast, the texturing is very good, making it come to life.

Sizing is taken care of with a xyz resizer and took me all of 30 seconds, where i spent most of the time finding it in the menu.

The menu takes a little bit of getting used to as it offers heaps of options, from poses to RLV, key systems and leashes.

The coloring option is fun even if you don’t see much clothing that you would match to this.

The walk or should i say tippy toe shuffle doesn’t get you far and once you have fallen you can’t get up, so a leash option isn’t there just for the fun of it. *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Holiday Restraints

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Deirdre
Best wishes to all our friends and readers. May the new year bring you all the fun and trouble you can stand and no more! :)

Some time ago, our friend Pet had an idea for a fun bondage toy. She called Katie Paine, who obligingly built it for her, and the Holiday Restraints were born.

It’s a good idea, and Lady Gaga, who seems to swipe all her best inspirations from this blog, (I kid - she's way wilder than us!) even posed in a similar toy ;)

The lights look really good, flashing in a pretty authentic way. Once decorated, your sweetie can’t walk but will do a pretty entertaining hop.

I think I’ll leave the lights up until March this year ;)

lelo
Happy new year... and to keep the festive season going a bit longer, we found a great use for your leftover Christmas lights.

You get 9 parts in the kit and when you first wear them it all looks a bit, well tame. But hit the tie buttons and all lights up.

Katie warned us this is one of her earlier kits, but it offers everything you might expect from a pair of restraints, including RLV.

The belly bow and the holiday hat are two fun extra’s, the bow you can wear if you want to give yourself away and the holiday hat with the built in snow is a must have for next years Christmas.

So when you have taken the Christmas tree out and you miss the festive lights in your living room.. well here’s your solution.

Restrained Freedom - Reverse Stilettos

Deirdre
Stilletos. Spike heels. However you like to call them, high heels are fetish and fashion fundamentals.

We saw these at Katie’s shop when we dropped by at the beginning of the month, but as the head cage was new, we thought we’d show it to you first.

They’re called Reverse Stilettos, and they’re a fiendishly clever invention : the spike points towards the slave’s heel, forcing her up on her toes to avoid the painful tip.

This is just the kind of kinky, naughty device you’d see in the fifties drawings by Gene Bilbrew and the rest of the Irving Klaw stable of artists producing black and white S&M comics.

The Reverse Stilettos are easily colorable - gotta match the wardrobe, don’tcha know - and v1 and v2 compatible.

Not enough? How about some ground spikes with chains to hold your sweetie in place.. can't have her run away and hurt herself on those nasty spikes ;)

lelo
Time for a toy again and once again one by our favorite bondage bunny Katie.

The good looking shoes are rather fashionable and don’t stand out as bondage gear on a first glance and here in, at least to me, lays the thing that makes these so good.

From a fashion point of view you can use the supplied HUD to change the color of the shoes, skin, socks, metal and nails, so they should match your favorite outfit.

Clicking on the shoes themselves gives you access to the more interesting features of the shoes.

Next to the usual owner, lock and time lock features you can also spike the heels here, which starts all the “fun”.

While wearing the spiked shoes you’ll notice that when you get tired you’ll sink onto the spikes and the pain will force you to your knees, Katie ensures us that with enough training you’ll be able to walk for longer on them though.

These shoes are a must have for every bondage lover with a masochist streak.

Restrained Freedom - Headcage

Deirdre
A brand-spanking new toy for lelo today, Restrained Freedom’s Headcage was released Friday... the pixels are still hot :)

This is one of the most spectacular toys we’ve seen around SL, and I’d also say one of the more original ones as well. The design just looks really sturdy and well-made.

There are no less than 39 slave animations in the cage.. just going through the list will keep you and your slave busy for an evening.

The resizer came in handy, as the yoke was a bit short for lelo’s long limbs.

The color change is fun.. you know I just had to put lelo in a gilded cage ;)

lelo
Woohoo it’s toyday today, a brand new way to restrain and i can’t say i’ve ever seen anything like this.

The cage is easy to adjust and i only had to re-size it a bit when i wore the yoke, which was zero fuss.

You can change the main look of the cage from silver to bronze or gold, and if that’s not enough you can add a secondary color to match your current outfit.

The cage comes with a HUD that really puts you in the cage as the bars block quite a bit of your view and with a simple push on a button your owner can even take that away and block your view with a mesh.

To keep you busy while locked in there are two “escape” games, one for the wearer and one for a no-key holder, loads of fun.

As you might expect the cage is fully RLV compatible and can be used as a relay.

At least now i know how a bird in a golden cage feels...very restricted... *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Corset

Deirdre
Sometimes it’s good to be proven wrong. “There aren’t many prim corsets out there”, I said.

Well our longtime reader Corvan Nansen was kind enough to point us to a recent release from Restrained Freedom, called simply Corset. No fancy name, just great work.

Lelo had fun experimenting with size to get the corset looking just right. The alpha texture that was included was a little large for her.

Katie reacted promptly to our feedback, and will now include small-medium-large alphas, which should alleviate the problem.

So a great-looking corset to add to your wardrobe, with fun roleplay options. Visit Restrained Freedom and say hello to the friendly staff :)

lelo
Katie has been busy again and joined the ranks of prim corset builders.

As you might expect from a bondage bunny like Katie, she built in some fun extras.

First there are the usual owner and locking settings and there is a quick hide function for when you enter a pg sim.

Another very nice feature are the colors and textures available in the corset, there is a leather and a latex texture in several colors, but have a look at the “others”, going from wood and steel all the way to tie-dyed.

But the real fun starts with the training. As with any good corset you need to work your way up to an ever smaller waist.

The level progression is slow and offers quite a few fun hardships. This it the tightest it will go and looking at the screen i almost faint myself. *winks*

And for that total RP package, you can make use of the RLV enabled tightening machine.

Luckily Katie was kind enough to offer me an level enabler so i didn’t need to faint for a week or two to get these pictures. *smiles*

So great RP fun, lovely training features, matching everything in you wardrobe... anyone still here?!?

Restrained Freedom - Mask Gag

Deirdre
A new release by Restrained Freedom, this lovely piece of naughtiness is simply called the Mask Gag.

It has a wide variety of gagging, blindfolding, and ear-muffling goodness for your sensory-deprivation bunny.

We visited the new store Sunday and I was admiring the gag when Katie came on, and mentioned it had been released that very day. Well, I can’t resist a new release, so we pounced.

And visiting the store again tonight to snag the vendor pic (designers : put item pictures in your boxes!), I met a nice girl and fellow early adopter who said “... so far being in it I haven't wanted to take it off to say much of anything”.

How much more praise do you want? ;)

Katie points out on the vendor that the bondage model isn’t included with the gag.. how many times have car ads misled everyone like that?

lelo
It was about time we did a nice little gag again and when we saw the new and improved mask gag by restrained freedom we just had to have it.

As you might expect from Restrained Freedom the mask is fully RLV enabled and uses a simple but effective key system like you might know from Marine’s gear.

The gag has a few great features, first of all you can (in RLV must) use a gag channel, the works as a renamer and finally you can set the severity of the garbling.

But the pet setting is the most fun, turning your chat into meow’s and barks, what’s not to love about something like that.

The mask comes with a blindfold which has a HUD function truly blinding the wearer and as you might expect the earmuffs need RLV but work quite realistic, the further away a person is the harder it is to read their chat.

Finally there is the color change function which lets you adjust the mask to match every imaginable outfit, well most of them anyway. *winks*

Restrained Freedom - Leg Binders

Deirdre:
We were given the landmark to Restrained Freedom some time back... neither of us can remember who it was. We're getting old ;)

The visit was fun, as we ran into the owner, Katie Paine - bound and gagged like a true bondage bunny.

I was going to do the interview in gag talk and transcribe it here... but eh, some days I feel lazy, so I ungagged her.

The dear little neko's been making bondage toys for two years, a really long time in SL, as I will never tire of repeating.

She started for the best reason : she wanted mummification gear, and there wasn't any around.

After a couple of years of work, she has a very nice variety of bondage toys to show - they're all on display in the basement, do go down and give them a try.

A new dance club below the dungeon welcomes bondage lovers. I wonder how you dance in a leg binder?

You get a few freebies when you touch the group sign. And a nice little roof mall sells related bondage gear, so if you drop by, you can get a lot of different bondage toys all at once - bring lots of money ;)

lelo:
Finally another RLV toy for your enjoyment, the RF leg binders.

To be honest when i first put these on we both were thinking they looked like weird belted legwarmers, but all that changed when Mistress locked them on to me.

When locked you get a lovely zipper at the front and some fun lacing's on the back, but more importantly your legs are locked together and you can only hop around... when your owner allows that. *winks*

The scripting is very complete offering the usual RLV options, loads of colors in leather and latex textures and of course the key and lock options that make these toys so much fun for bondage bunnies like me.

So a great addition to the toy chest, binding the legs in a much more interesting way as the usual shackles.
