Frequently asked questions
What does the OUCH! Submission Mask do to the wearer's senses?
The spandex hood impairs vision while allowing a hint of light through, creating disorientation without complete darkness. Breathing and hearing pass through clearly, and the mouth remains accessible. The reduced vision heightens the wearer's sensitivity to touch and sound throughout the scene.
Can the wearer breathe comfortably through the hood?
Yes. The thin, lightweight spandex fabric allows easy breathing and clear hearing throughout wear. The mouth also remains accessible under the hood. Always confirm breathing is comfortable immediately after fitting and monitor throughout the session.
Is the OUCH! Submission Mask suitable for both partners?
Yes. The hood is unisex and is designed to be worn by either partner. It stretches to accommodate a range of head sizes.
What safety precautions apply to using a submission hood?
Always establish a pre-agreed stop signal before sensory deprivation play. Confirm comfortable breathing immediately after fitting. Check in regularly during the session. Remove immediately if the wearer signals discomfort or distress. Never leave a hooded partner unsupervised.
How do I clean the OUCH! Submission Mask?
Wipe with a damp cloth for quick cleaning, or hand wash in cold water and flat dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the spandex fabric.
