It felt so soft and nice on your skin. It was a great blindfold and blocked out the light well. I like the fact that you don’t have to put it over your head to put it on so it didn’t mess up your hair. I prefer to tie it in a bow as if you just knotted it, it wouldn't stay done up and then jsut got down to buisness. Some times with the ones with elastic the top of your ears can start to hurt but with this one it is amazing and was confortable the whole time.
