Blossoming Into Bondage: My review of the minty ZOË LIGON X THE STOCKROOM bondage line
Stockroom has provided this bondage set to me, and I have an affiliate account linking to their products that will help me fund my freelance sexuality writing further. We have agreed that I will be completely honest in my review, which is great, because I really hate influencer culture – but I love taking a look at innovative products. This review falls under old school sex blogger ethics: This is not an advertisement, but it may benefit me financially to give them a good review. Thank GOD I don’t have to lie, because….
I NEEDED a mint green bondage set in my life…
…and Stockroom’s leather is top notch, if I’m not shopping vegan! I can say from experience that it is from shopping in their store and a few small purchases here and there, but now that I’ve been fully bound from head to toe in the Zoë Ligon X Stockroom set I think I may have found my “go to” leather spot.
Listen, Kink Life is HARD for a Hard Femme. I feel like I am always having to choose between pink or black and it’s getting annoying, limiting my scene ideas to a rather basic BDSM pallette.
Thank you, Zoë, for putting forth a risky color that suites those of us out there who aren’t the stereotypical Pink and Black BDSM femmes. For those of us who want gender neutral colors, that pop against other colors and bring out the gem tones in our eyes while we fuck our tops. THANK YOU.
I got the set pieces in size M/L and as a short, fat person found them to fit nice and tight on the smallest setting. I sincerely think someone with thicker limbs can wear the M/L, but if you have specific measurements make sure to send them in. Stockroom makes everything in-house and can pop you a new hole or add an inch. If you’re a size 14 or lower, try giving the S/M a try first.
One thing I noticed about the leash and collar set is the incredible metal. The hardware is super strong and sleek and looks like it could last forever, which is important to me. If I am going to get leather, I want it to be something that will please me for a lifetime.
And this leash, I will cherish forever. I like having the set that matches and I LOVE that it is SHORT. Is this the common leash length for bondage sets? Nope! The product description for the Zoe Ligon X Stockroom mint green leash is says, “At 2 feet, this is a perfect leash for a sub who needs to be kept a little bit closer,” not to mention for brats like me who are short and want to do weird things like rope the leash between the loops of the cuffs and hogtie myself… oh yes, this hardware looks sweet but it was clearly made with rough play in mind. We tested it; test passed.
Here’s some more photos of the ankle and wrist cuffs
What didn’t I like? I don’t even know. I think maybe adding to the collection is my biggest wish. Staying in pastel/neony leather connectors and hogtie X. Or, that we could get another color in the next season, like a blue or a white! It would also be awesome to see some latex gloves or a mask in the series that also come in a M/L or plus size latex options. So yeah. The only real issue here is that the collection only has a few pieces. ENCOURE PLEAUSE.
The Zoë Ligon X Stockroom set is limited edition and if you don’t know who Ms. Ligon is, I can only say that she is an important artist and store owner who helped QueerPorn.TV stay lubed up and barrier-ed, challeneged the cishet appropriation artist Richard Prince, and started doing sex education videos *with* her toys, products, and her own body breaking ground on a whole new way to think about retail
She is also featured in the Stockroom campaign for her bondage line with two incredibly cute models. Shoutout to STOCKROOM for setting up this super-smart collaboration. I think it will pull in a ton of kink-friendly queers, plus size femmes, and bondage bunnies looking for quality BDSM gear in a really gorgeous color.
Thank you for reading my review. Overall I think the quality is among the best I’ve had on or off a porn set, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Stockroom. I would have been shocked if they had overlooked the play-ability of a colorful set which is overall what has frustrated me about “pastel BDSM” for a long time – it’s hard to get stuff that works. This set brings color to your box of gear without sacrificing function.
Grade: *chef kisses* from an eager bondage bunny and blossoming leather daddy. This spring is going to be full of sexy strong pastel leather play thanks to Zoe Ligon X Stockroom. I can only hope that this is not a capsule release and we get a little bit more of this energy from an already Femme-friendly store!
