The Submission Bracelet, as it’s so dubbed, is one of the newest goodies
that
Flog
Me, Baby! sent my way for review. I requested it, as silicone
bracelets are everywhere these days, and I thought I’d get a kick out of
wearing one in the context of sex-positivity.
I was right. I absolutely love it. The text on the bracelet is debossed,
and all black like the band, so it’s relatively subtle when you want it to
be. I do wish it was named differently, because not all submissives desire
or enjoy flogging, and not all of those who enjoy being flogged are
submissive, but c’est la vie, I
suppose. The word submissive or
submission is not printed
anywhere on the actual bracelet, so wear it with the freedom of your own
identity and orientation and don’t worry about the rest.
It has a 2.5 inch diameter, and is stretchy enough to fit most (
read:
basically anyone), yet retains its shape no matter how many times
you find yourself putting it on and taking it off. The front-and-center
text says
Flog Me Baby in CAPS,
and is provocative in all the right ways.
Wearing it seems to make my fire burn a little bit brighter, and I
find myself curious as to who will notice it every time I go out with it
on my wrist. It reminds me of the Blue Star Tattoos a little bit. It’s a
symbol for those who know to look for it, and nearly invisible to those
that don’t. The grammarian in me desperately aches for a comma between
“Flog Me” and “Baby,” but I’m coming to make peace with it as-is. Hee.
It is incredibly comfortable, and once I slipped it on the first
time, I wore it 24/7 for weeks. I love that I can take it in the shower
and tub with me, swimming, and even through the rain without worry. And
for you domesticity sluts, no need to take it off while washing dishes,
either! Win.
This bracelet is made of 100% recycled silicone, so it’s therefore
eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic and phthalate-free. What more could you
want in a cute lil bracelet? I have rubber sensitivities (and metal and
and and…) so I appreciate that this is something I can wear. After
thoroughly testing it out, I’m proud to say that I don’t react to it one
bit. Hooray!
You can wash it with soap and warm water if it gets grungy, toss it
in the dishwasher, or even boil it, if you feel so inclined. It can be a
bit of a lint-magnet, so when you’re not wearing it, store it in a
plastic baggie or some other pouch.
Pick a Submission Bracelet up at
Flog Me, Baby! for yourself or a friend with your spare
pocket-change, and start strutting your sex-positivity everywhere you
go.
