Barre d'écartement niveau cuisses 30 cm, Purple Reins

Received my order this morning.

Was unsure what to think about this, but as soon as I opened it I fell in love.

The quality is amazing the cuffs are nice and soft on the inside, and the bar seems nice and solid!

Can't wait to use it. First time using anything like this.

This thigh spreader bar arrives in a simple clear plastic packet, no fancy packaging, but when you see the quality of this item you won’t really care.

We have been looking for a thigh spreader bar for ages, and we were so excited when we saw that Lovehoney had released this one.

The first thing I noticed was the colour of this spreader bar, it is such a vibrant purple, which I absolutely love. The cuffs are made from a lovely soft material and are very well padded with soft foam on the inside. I couldn’t wait to try it out!

The sizing of the cuffs seems spot on. Although my thighs are quite slim, the cuffs fitted me perfectly. The Velcro straps allow for a good deal of flexibility and should fit most people. However, one point to mention is that when I stood up to test them

out, the cuffs did start to slide down my thighs - but as we will only use it when I’m lying down on the bed, it won’t be an issue for us.

The cuffs are attached to a very strong purple covered metal bar, which has a good weight and feels very solid and safe. The bar measures 12 inches.

I think this is a very exciting product. The feeling I get when tied down with my thighs spread open make me feel so vulnerable. It is also very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, although you can feel the bars pressing into your thighs if you wiggle too much – but for me that was an exciting reminder of how restrained I am.

To raise the kinkiness level a notch or two, you can team this spreader bar with cuffs, a blindfold and /or a ball gag – just remember to have a safe signal agreed beforehand.

There are also various matching items available in the Purple Reins collection, which is fantastic.

We have used this thigh spreader bar on numerous occasions, and we are so impressed with the quality of this bar for the price. It really is a bargain in our opinion, and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

I ordered the thigh spreader bar as an alternative for an item I had to return. Customer Care were perfect when I contacted them, and the return and reorder process couldn’t have been easier. My parcel arrived on time, securely and plainly wrapped as always.

The bar itself is contained in just a plain cellophane bag, but to be honest, that is fine, I don’t consider fancy packaging is required. On first inspection, the bar appears well made, very sturdy and a lovely shade of purple, which makes a nice change from the usual black.

The Velcro straps are so simple to use, but are very secure with the ability to instantly release should it be required, and have the added bonus of being easily adjustable to fit all sizes. As a guide, my thighs measure approx 19” and there is further room for adjustment in the cuffs. The cuffs are surprisingly comfortable with adequate padding.

For its first outing we decided to use the spreader in conjunction with our underbed restraints. So, picture the scene (if you dare!). My hands were secured above my head, the thigh spreader bar was put in place, and with my knees bent my ankles were held apart by the second set of cuffs on the underbed restraints. The aim of all this was to avoid my ability to suffocate my poor hubby with my vice like scissor grip at the point of orgasm during oral. What can I say - it worked like a dream! It also enabled him to tease me further after orgasm to the point of literally begging him to stop.

I should add here that the bar does dig into the thighs a bit when ‘struggling’, but for me, that just served as a reminder as to its purpose.

We have yet to try the bar in any other positions but can only imagine it will have the desired effect. I do have to agree with other reviewers that the bar does slide down when standing, though. I am also thinking it would be possible to use the bar as an upper arm restraint.

I plan to try using the spreader, again with our underbed restraints, with my ankles in the wrist cuffs held high over my head, leading to total exposure and total inability to execute my famous signature ‘scissor’ move. Just the thought of achieving this is thrilling, and not being as young or as supple as I used to be, finding ways of using and combining these items to achieve different positions is so much fun.
