The New Look in Hot Water Bottles

From 1948. Dreamed up by the folks at B.F. Goodrich.

And it's still a popular look in S&M gear.

The Akron Beacon Journal - Jan 1, 1948

Palm Beach Post - Jan 5, 1948

Looks more like a reject costume for Catwoman.

I sure could have used one of these a few years ago (for a sinus infection, not S&M).

Ummm, no. Not for S&M. They prefer your mouth and eyes COVERED, not the other way 'round.

I found it amusing that the model working for B.F. Goodrich Rubber lived on FIRESTONE Blvd. :lol:
