Liberator Fascinator Throw

The black Liberator Fascinator Throw is the sex blanket for people who want the protection without anything looking out of place. Black microvelvet on the outside, a water-resistant layer on the inside: lube, oil and wet spots stay in the throw, your sheets stay clean, and the colour hides marks between washes better than any other shade in the range.

Why black works

Dark fabric is forgiving. A splash of lube or a damp patch that would show on grey or blue barely registers on black, so the throw can stay on the bed for a few days without looking used. It also matches Liberator's black furniture, such as the Liberator Wing toy mount, if you're building a coordinated setup. The trade-off is lint: black velvet shows fluff and pet hair, so keep a lint roller in the bedside drawer.

Laying out a sex blanket for daily use

Some owners leave the Fascinator spread across the duvet all the time and fold it back only for sleep. Others keep it folded in a drawer and pull it out when needed. Either way, the side that faces up is the one that does the absorbing, and the inner layer stops moisture moving down into the mattress. Smooth it flat before you start; wrinkles create channels where liquid can run toward the edge.

Durable seams for frequent washing

Liberator reworked the seams on this version so they hold up better through repeated washes. That matters for a throw you'll likely put in the machine every week or two. It's machine-washable; the listing advises air drying. Drape it over a clothes horse or a shower rail and allow plenty of time, because the inner layer dries more slowly than the velvet face.

Who it suits

Choose black if you want one throw that does everything: lives on the bed, comes out for toy nights, handles massage oil and doesn't show its history. It's also a sensible first Fascinator if you're unsure which colour to pick, because it goes with dark bedding, white sheets and most sofas alike.

Habits that keep it fresh

Shake it out over the bathroom or balcony after use to drop any loose lint before it goes in the wash. Pre-treat oily patches with a little washing-up liquid, and wash with other darks so it picks up less fluff. If it sits folded for a long time, give it a quick tumble on a no-heat air setting or a shake to lift the pile.

Matching pieces in black

This Regular throw measures 72 × 54 inches. For travel, the black travel throw is 53 × 36 inches. For a large bed, there's the Fascinator Lush Throw in black, king size. On the nightstand, the black Fascinator Toy Pad catches drips from toys between rounds.

Made in the USA

The Brookstone listing for the Fascinator notes it is made in the USA. It ships in a plain, unmarked brown box.
