Heavy masks like this one are not called “deprivation hoods” for nothing.
Depriving you of your senses is exactly what they do.
First of all, two layers of softly padded cows’ leather constrict the head and reduce all sensory input from the environment massively. The eyes are fully closed and the ear padding lets you forget all about external sounds. As a second step the front and back flaps of the mask are closed with zippers. This will block the senses even more, particularly hearing.
The zipper’s sliders can be secured with small padlocks to prevent unauthorized removal of the mask.
Always bear in mind the wearer’s reduced ability to breathe!
The smaller the opening left by the zipper of the face flap is, the more difficult breathing will be. With the flap open, breathing will be almost uninhibited as the nose section is designed with ample space and large holes for comfortable breathing. The further the zipper is pulled shut, the more a cavity is formed from which the exchange of air to the outside only occurs through the zipper, markedly inhibiting this exchange. This means that the wearer should always be closely observed, for possible breathing difficulties to be spotted early.
If the mask is to be worn for longer periods, the front zipper should only be closed as far as still allows for regular breathing.
Besides the nostril holes there is also a small hole at the mouth. This allows for a regular straw to be inserted and the wearer to drink small sips of liquid.
This mask is highly restrictive and should be used with caution.
It is unsuitable for individuals suffering from claustrophobia or with a proclivity for panic attacks.
The person wearing the mask should never be left unattended, so the mask can be taken off as quickly as possible in case of emergency!
The mask is available in four different sizes.
See the table below for the exact measurements.
Please measure the following areas with a tape measure. Alternatively you can use a thread or cord which after marking can be measured with a ruler.
The most important measurement is the circumference of head: tip of chin - back of head
If you are unsure, please send us the single measurements and we will be glad to help you further!
A: Circumference of neck
B: Circumference of head at height of mouth
C: Circumference of head at height of eyebrows
D: Circumference of head: tip of chin - back of head (longest distance)

This blindfold completely blanks out all light, as the soft cushioning shuts the eyes firmly. There is no possibility to get a glimpse! The pressure can be perfectly adjusted with the buckle at the rear. Made from soft Nappa leather with light cushioning.
This blindfold completely blanks out all light, as the soft cushioning shuts the eyes firmly. This mask is cut a little wider under the eyes than the slim version. This only changes the look, the effectiveness of both masks is equally high. The pressure can be perfectly adjusted with the buckle at the rear. Made from soft Nappa leather with light cushioning.
Ball gag with red ball made from Platinum-Silicone on a soft leather strap. Our gag balls are completely taste- and odourless and offer a very pleasant bite resistance. They are flexible enough to not damage the teeth, but solid enough to not be able to flatten the ball with the mouth. The balls are very robust. Even forceful bites will hardly leave any teeth marks. These gags can be worn very comfortably and for a long time if needed. They leave relatively few marks on the face, as the straps are stitched from soft garments leather and free from studs or eyelets, except for the buckle fastener at the back. Available with three different sized silicone balls: Small:approx. 38 millimetres (for small chatterboxes and people who easily retch) Medium:approx. 45 millimetres (the medium standard size) Large:approx. 52 millimetres (for big chatterboxes and for the connoisseur of quietude) Extra Large: approx. 60mm (for those special cases who will not be silenced by a Large ball)Please note: For most people accommodating a 60mm-ball will not be anatomically possible! Only select size XL, if you already have practical experience using balls sized Large. Otherwise it might turn into a case of trying to bite off more than you can chew. And then there will be tears.

There is a good reason why such heavy-duty leather hoods also like to be described as deprivation hoods. Deprivation = sensual dispossession characterises the effect appropriately. Two layers of soft cushioned cowhide tightly tie in the head and reduce the perception of the surroundings severely. The eyes are completely shut. The ear cushions let the surrounding noise fade far into the background, and the additional use of a standard foam earplug reduces the sense of hearing to almost zero. The nose is generously tailored and is equipped with openings large enough to be able to breathe relatively comfortably. Accordingly, the mask can be worn over a longer period of time and while the senses concentrate on the breathing, even the slightest touch of the body is perceived with sensational intensity. The effect of the hood's tight lacing can be increased by pulling the straps more or less tightly and leaves the impression of a head restraint. Apart from the nose openings there is also a small hole in front of the mouth. It is big enough to fit a regular drinking straw and supply the hooded person with little sips of liquid. When the mouth strap is closed, this hole is no longer visible. This hood is very restrictive and should be enjoyed with care in the beginning. It is definitively not suitable for persons who suffer from claustrophobia or have a tendency for panic attacks. The person wearing the hood should never be left alone, in order to be able to open and remove the mask quickly in an emergency. The hood is available in four different sizes.
