Synopsis: A soft, lined shag blanket designed to prevent unwanted
messiness due to sexual activity.
Freddy's Review:
It was only a matter of time before a competitor to the venerable Liberator Fascinator emerged. We say 'venerable' as the Liberator throe has become our must-have product; so versative it serves us not only in our bedroom, but accompanies us on picnics, keeps us warm in winter cold snaps, and even survived a shag on the open playa at Burning Man in 2006. Could another water-resistant blanket really compare?
The answer is yes... and no. The Luv Mat, a shaggier version of the Fascinator, indeed does outperform the Fascinator in certain ways, while coming up short (literally, for lack of a better term) in others.
The Luv Mat is the brainchild of a couple in Ohio who actually bought a Fascinator and didn't like the fact that Liberator's product, while indeed protecting the bedding underneath, did not soak up excess moisture. Instead, said moisture was allowed to run down the throe and end up finding its way off the blanket and on to... wherever. In our own experience, this is indeed a problem with the microfiber version of the Fascinator; however, the shag version, while not totally efficient when it comes to soaking in wetness, does so well enough for it not to be a major problem. The Luv Mat takes it a step further by increasing the depth of the shag and adding another layer of fabric in-between. The result is a much "plusher" feeling when the two are put side by side. And, we must admit, when things got sloppy (as they tend to in our crazy sex life), the Luv Mat gave us a more secure feeling that whatever was underneath would be safe from stains or otherwise. The construction of the Luv Mat is very solid, and we feel the product will be around for years of service though hundreds of washings. The Luv Mat also comes in two sizes - travel and standard - which makes for nice options (the Fascinator is only available in one size). Our only complaint would be the lack of color options; if you don't like bright red, you're out of luck as that's the only color available (for now).
As for extending the Luv Mat's versatility, it matches up to the Fascinator very well, though on hot summer days you may find it to be a tad warm. On the flip side, the Luv Mat seems nice and toasty when things cool down as they can even here in sunny Southern California, where we live. In summary, we think the Luv Mat is a great investment and love the fact buying one supports true small business entrepreneurs. The pricing is reasonable for the excellent quality and we look forward to stretching its limits for years to "come."
