I am super excited about this next piece up for review from the wonderful folks over at Tabutoys!
I mentioned in my latest review I am trying to review more then just toys on my blog! With that comes new, fun and exciting things I have never really indulged in. Yes I have done lingerie before but nothing like some of the items I am seeking out.
Along with the Neon Nites Ruffle Trim Bikini Set I was also sent the Neon Nites Monster Hood in Neon Pink!
Overview So you are wanting to indulge into the fantasy world and spice things up in the bedroom? Do you work in an adult entertainment setting and have a request to do fantasy related themes? Do you want to tryout something new and fun?! Yeah I didn't really think much about it til chatting it up with a friend on different things that can turn others on.
The Neon Nites Monster Hood is a simple place to start especially if you aren't too sure this area will be something you will continue with. Since it isn't really viewed as sexual by most people if you choose to rehome it or give it a different purpose outside of your adult life you can always toss it to your kid. I have seen some costumes for kids that resemble the Neon Nites Monster Hood. If it doesn't work out in the bedroom or work setting you can also toss it in the closet an wear it out for Halloween parties or Trick or Treating with your kiddos. I honestly think this is super cute and I sent a picture to a friend an he stated the same thing along with "looks FUN" which it can be. Pair the Monster Hood up with this awesome bikini that goes so well with it.
Neon Nites Monster Hood is made by Elegant Moments which are also the same folks who made the Neon Nites Ruffle Trim Bikini Set.
Size Info
Sizing for the Monster Hood is pretty simple it is a ONE SIZE FITS MOST sizing deal. When it comes to OSFM pieces there are usually specific measurements on who it will fit and who it won't, in this case not so much. While I do have some measurements for you they aren't really measurements used to size to see if the Monster Hood will fit you but you may find them useful.
The horns measure in at:
6" long
2" wide at the bottom and 0.75" at the tip
When it comes to the scarf part of the hood it measures
27" on each side & is 4" wide
There are 3 whiskers on the top of the hood right under the eye and horns on both sides. The whiskers measure in at roughly 3" long.
You will also find 5 "teeth/fangs" across the top of the Neon Nites Monster Hood, these are about 2.5" long an 1" in width at the widest part.
Paws yes, there are 2 "paws" at the end of each side on the scarf. There are 4 claws on each paw that are about 1.5" long an roughly 0.5" wide if even that.
These measurements on the length of the claws and fangs are estimates because I forgot to measure them.
Material Info
Browsing through both Tabutoys and Elegant Moments websites I didn't see any type of listing for materials used in making the Monster Hood. Since neither site listed what materials were used I checked the tag inside the hood. An you can see what I found over to the left hand side. That is a picture of the tag inside the Monster Hood. It states that the following materials were used:
82.5% Acrylic
17.5% Polyester
Most of the acrylic is used in making the faux fur that is all over the hood as well as down the scarf. Faux fur is what most fake fur is called and it made of of several different compounds including acrylic in several different forms. So if you are an animal lover or person against using REAL animal fur in make costumes, toys, rugs and things of that nature you won't have worry here as there is NO real fur in this hood. The lining of the Monster Hood is made out of polyester which is kind of stiff or scratchy.
I have to say the quality of the Neon Nites Monster Hood is really great with an exception of the fur sheds like crazy. The shedding could be a con for some but I chalk it up as , it is just like a teddy bar or rug it'll shed some of it's "fur". The fur is super soft and fluffy, if it for whatever reason gets matted you could use a comb or brush to gently removed the knots from the fur.
Packaging
Packaging or lack there of is well you can see to the right pretty simple and almost nonexistent. The Neon Nites Monster Hood comes in a clear plastic bag with the Style No. sticker on it with the sizing sticker O/S. Once you remove the hood from the plastic bag you will want to find and remove the product tag before wearing.
You can simply toss the bag and tag into the trash or recycling bin. Right now my Monster Hood is being stored in the plastic bag it arrived in. Know though that the bag isn't meant to last for prolonged storage once you get it in. I have only opened the bag a handful of times and the sticky strip to keep the bag seal no longer sticks! I will be moving my hood into a gallon size Ziploc freeze bag for storing purposes. Only reason I would recommend storing in a sealed bag is so that you are getting pink fur EVERYWHERE when not in use.
Care & Storing
Caring for your Neon Nites Monster Hood will be pretty simple depending on how often you will need to wash it. It is recommended to hand wash this piece in cold water. You could probably use a mild laundry soap or a lingerie wash that you can find on most sites that sell adult products. I browses Tabutoys and didn't find any. There is a company called Dona and Tabutoys does carry some of their body care products but I didn't see the lingerie wash. This number I will probably avoid using the washing machine as I normally do even for my delicate pieces as I am worried it will become super matted and knotted. After you hand wash your Monster Hood you will want to hang it or lay it flat to dry before using or storing.
When it comes to storing the Neon Nites Monster Hood I would highly suggest folding it up and placing inside a Ziploc bag to keep all the fur contained. Another reason I suggest a Ziploc bag is if you work in adult entertainment especially in the club environment if you don't use it that night it is sealed up and still clean. In the club world most allow smoking an if you don't want things smelling smokey if you didn't use them Ziploc bags can easily help with that. Ziploc bags can keep most smells out whether you are at home or work.
My Experience
So being new to the whole fantasy world of playing this is different for me but not in a bad way. It will take a bit for me to not feel so silly in it especially if I am with a man who indulges in fantasy play. I have no issue trying new things which is why I searched out for new an interesting things to review. I did think that I was sexy in the Monster Hood along with wearing my Neon Nites Ruffle Trim Bikini even if they didn't 100% match each other. It was more of a sexy cute look but def something that could grow on me. I didn't get hot wearing the hood which I believe could happen since polyester doesn't breath well so if you plan to wear it for long periods of time know that you could end up hot or sweating similar to if you are wearing a ball cap or beanie cap.
I will continue to wear my hood when I feel the need to live in fantasy world for a bit!
One thing though that I wish Elegant Moments would have considered was putting in hand holds or making the paws similar to gloves but have them underneath the scarf. If there were hand loops or gloves built in it would make it easier to "show claws" when playing.
