I use the lotion after a session, and Kats says it does not sting at all. It is amazing stuff in the way it heals marks even if they are deep ones. It is called "Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula,with vitamin E". Kats marks up very easily and we are both impressed with the results that this lotion gives us.
Kats says that it is very soothing.

The hood and the suspension harness should work out well. It was time to start upgrading to more serious toys. Kats likes to be pushed to her limits and that, I find, is a good training meothod to take her deeper. She is scared of it, but I think it will help.
