Master Series Facade Hood with Eye and Mouth Openings

The Master Series Facade Hood is a lightweight spandex BDSM hood that pulls over the whole head and leaves the eyes and mouth open. It hides the face and hair, so the wearer feels anonymous and on display at the same time, while still being able to see and breathe freely. It suits roleplay, sensory play and anyone curious about hoods who doesn't want to start with a heavy leather or rubber one.

Why a hood changes a scene

Covering the head is a quick way to shift how both people feel. The wearer loses their everyday expressions and becomes whatever role you've agreed on: a captive, a plaything, a stranger. The person looking at them sees a smooth black outline with only the eyes and mouth showing, so attention goes straight to those openings. Spandex keeps things simple. There are no laces, zips or buckles, so it goes on and comes off in seconds.

Fit and comfort

It's one size fits most. The fabric stretches over the head and relaxes into a close, smooth fit. Before you start, line up the eye openings so vision isn't partly blocked, and check that the mouth opening sits where it should. It should feel snug around the head yet loose enough at the neck to slide a finger under. Long hair is easiest tied low or tucked in first. If the wearer gets warm, take a short break, since even light spandex is a layer over the whole head.

Pairing it with a blindfold or gag

Master Series made the Facade to layer with other gear. A blindfold over the eye openings turns it into sensory deprivation, and a gag through the mouth opening adds restraint. Either way the wearer loses a way to communicate, so agree on a non-verbal safe signal first, such as dropping a held object or tapping three times. Never leave a hooded person alone, and take the hood off promptly if they seem distressed, dizzy or too hot.

Care

Hand wash it in cool water with a mild soap, rinse, and let it dry flat or over a towel. Skip the dryer, which wears out the stretch. Keep it in a drawer or pouch so it doesn't snag on buckles from other gear.
