- Ah… the perfect collar. If I wasn’t such a hoarder collector, I would never buy another collar after using this one. Yup, I love it that much.
- Measuring 17.5″ long, the Ruff Lust Spike Collar with Heart Cutouts is shorter than my others which means there isn’t a lot of overlapping leather getting in the way during use. As far as collars go, this is a very good thing in my case. It’s 1″ wide, just under 1/4″ thick (not including the spikes which are 1/2″ long) and has 5 holes 1 inch apart which should allow it to fit necks with a circumference of approx. 11″ to 15″. For reference, I wear it on the second hole from the end and I measured my neck at 14″.

- Straight out of the package (which is just a plastic bag with a simple hang tag), the collar feels stiff but it softens up pretty quickly after being worn. The eight adorable pink suede hearts were what really drew me to this collar. If you don’t know this by now, black & pink is my favorite color combination and after seeing this collar there was no way I could pass it by.
- The back of the collar is lined with a soft suede and there are no exposed rivets except for where the buckle is. There are four spikes and one O ring, which can all be removed and replaced if you happen to know where to get new ones1 . At first I thought the smaller O ring would be a down side, but it turns out I like it better than the larger O rings. It’s just the right size to thread the chain from a set of tweezer nipple clamps through it, and I absolutely love the look created from the combination of collar & clamps. I also like that I can pull on my nipples just a bit by tilting my head back.
- I do have one small complaint, and that is that when putting this collar on and off it feels like I’m doing it backwards. My other collars are universal in that they won’t be upside down regardless of which way I put them on. In order to put this one on with the hearts facing the right way up, the buckle needs to be held in my right hand while fastening with it behind my neck. It’s a small complaint and personal preference, and doesn’t stop me from wearing it at all even though it can be slightly annoying
