Master Series Blow Hole Hood

The Master Series Blow Hole Hood is a lightweight black spandex BDSM hood that pulls over the whole head, hides the wearer's view and leaves the mouth open. It's a simple way to add anonymity and sensory focus to a scene. Because the fabric stretches and breathes, it suits people trying hoods for the first time as well as anyone who wants a light hood to pair with a gag.

What it's like to wear

Spandex is thin and stretchy, so the hood hugs the head closely without the weight or heat of leather or rubber. It covers the eyes and dulls the wearer's view rather than creating total darkness, which many people find easier for a first hood: there's enough light to stay oriented, but not enough to see what's coming next. The mouth opening stays fully clear, so the wearer can talk, use a safeword and breathe freely.

Ideas for using a BDSM hood

Hoods change the feel of a scene quickly. With the face hidden, the wearer becomes anonymous, which works well for roleplay, objectification play or simply taking the focus off how someone looks. Touch, temperature and sound feel sharper when sight is limited, so light feathers, ice or a quiet voice close to the ear land more strongly. The open mouth is the "blow hole" in the name. It leaves room for oral play, kissing or a mouth gag.

Safety basics

Never leave a hooded person alone, and keep them away from anything they could trip on. Agree on a non-verbal signal as well as a safeword, especially if you plan to add a gag. Check that the fabric isn't pressing on the nose and that the mouth opening sits where it should. If the wearer feels hot, panicky or dizzy, take the hood off straight away; spandex comes off in seconds. Avoid using it with breath play.

Fit and care

It's one size fits most. Gather the hood like a sock, pull it gently over the head from the back, then line up the mouth opening. If you have long hair, tie it low first. Master Series doesn't give care instructions, so hand wash it gently in cool water with mild soap and let it dry flat, which is the usual way to look after spandex.
