Unrelated to my usual rubber stuff, but I've got a bunch of plat. silicone dildos I made before I started making latex gear. I have waaay more than the ones showed in the pic and I need some space (& money) so I'll see if I can find a platform to sell them in the near future.

Got slower with batch 12 due to Holidays, the last ones will be shipped next week, making of batch 13 hoods is starting. If you're waiting for a batch confirmation you'll get an email tonight. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS! (Image transcription available in the alt text.)

Got slower with batch 12 due to Holidays and having to deal with the whole US tarifs debacle, but the last ones should be shipped next week, and production of batch 13 hoods is starting. UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS: I'm adding this note for transparency. In a lot of countries, including mine, the main postal services don't ship to the USA anymore. The only option for me seems to be using services like FedEx, which are way, way more expensive. I used to pay 56€ for shipping (which I priced at 45€ for my customers) with La Poste, and now my only option seems to be paying more than 135€ (which I'd be pricing at 120€). It is A LOT. If you are an US customer, either you don't mind the extra cost, or it's way too much for you, and then you've got two options : cancelling your purchase, or waiting to see if the situation will settle at some point. In any case, I will continue emailing US customers when I'm working on their batch so you know there's a spot available for you. FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS: I'm expecting a lot of people from the USA to either cancel or choose waiting some more before making a purchase, so I might contact people from later batches in advance to fill the empty spots. Example: If you're in batch 14, you might be contacted while I'm working on batch 13.

Last hoods from this batch will be sent in the coming week! (Got a bit slow due to... summer vacations.) If you're in batch 11, or you have filled the form and wait for a confirmation, I'll be contacting you this Sunday. I'll post an update when it's done!

I've had multiple people asking me about a certain company plagiarizing my work, so it's about time I talk about it. Alt Text is available for accessibility (divided in image 1 and 2 due to the character limitation).

Hey, I've been aware of this for a while and I've had people regularly asking me about it, so I feel like it's time to be upfront: Yes, my work has been plagiarized by a big company. To be perfectly clear: I absolutely don't think that taking inspiration from something is plagiarism, nor that it is a bad thing. We've all been inspired by some stuff at some point, we don't live in a vacuum. If you've seen hoods that ressembles mine in concept, I don't have an issue with it, and I don't think anyone should gatekeep the "blank face with a blowjob hole" thing, because it's been in the kink community for a long time. However, if you have to triple check to be sure that a hood is not the exact same as mine because the differences are as minor as stuff like ears being slightly less round, then yes, I'd call it plagiarism. Making it in a different material doesn't mean it's suddenly a brand new idea. I haven't been vocal about it because, in all honesty, I thought it was useless. They're a huge company and I'm just some kinky guy trying to make a living with his craft. I thought that at best they would not care, and at worst they would bully me to oblivion because they have a way bigger following than I do. However, after some people came to me to talk about it, I came to the conclusion that I had to say it, because while it won't change anything for some people, some others do care about not giving their money to companies who thrive on plagiarism, and those ones deserve to know. Most of us indies can't keep up against giants who have factories, multiple workers, employees dedicated to public relations and a shitton of money that allows them to send free stuff to popular people of the community for advertizing. The kink community is already marginalized enough, we shouldn't have to deal with people who pretend to love our community while actively doing their best to bury kinky artists and crafters to make easy money. [Alt text in next picture for the rest of the text]Thanks a lot to the people who have been supporting me from the start, and the ones that still continue to do so in spite of all this. I've received a lot of kind words from people from all over the world, and I really appreciate it. Note : I'm intentionally not mentioning the name of the company, I just don't have the mental energy to get into an open fight with them. From what I've seen, I'm definitely not the only person they ripped off or have stolen from.
