Liberator's Talea Offers Softer Take on Spreader Bar Design

ATLANTA, Ga.—Liberator Inc., the manufacturer of Liberator Bedroom Adventure Gear, today released a kinder, gentler version of a stock BDSM item. The new Talea Spreader Bar Bolster offers a different take on the traditional spreader bar, which tend to be rigid metal bondage equipment that can lead to accidental bruising and clumsy encounters. The Talea Spreader Bar Bolster improves upon the standard design by allowing for freedom of movement and support while eliminating the risk of injury. It is lightweight and user friendly, making it a product that will attract beginners who want to ease into restraint play. The Talea is designed to facilitate a multitude of bondage positions that cannot be readily duplicated with other bondage products. The 5-foot height provides lift when placed under hips, knees, or neck while providing better access to a variety of sexual postures and positions. The supportive polyurethane foam bolster that makes up the Talea is built around a high-impact PVC rod that assembles easily. These soft materials eliminate the clanging noise commonly associated with metal-on-metal spreader bars. The Talea also provides the flexibility of attaching to wrists and ankles simultaneously—another way in which traditional spreader bars can fall short. The Talea offers even more variety in color and style. It is available in either black, red, or gray. The cover is a soft faux rubberized leather that minimizes slippage and easily wipes clean. The ballistic nylon end caps are outfitted with four D-ring connectors that work with our handcrafted leather cuff kits or any other compatible restraints. In addition, four snap clips are designed to work with Liberator's microfiber cuff kits for those looking for comfort in their play. With the simple facilitation of a quick exchange of cuffs, rope or sashes, it is easy to let passion take over without fussing over the mechanics. Liberator CEO and founder Louis Friedman said, “We are so excited about this revolutionary product. We have taken the spreader bar out of its niche past of discomfort and injury and brought it into the future, where it can be enjoyed by all. This is a truly unique idea.” Friedman added, “The Talea is the beginning of an exciting new creative direction for Liberator. We are updating our brand visuals through glamorous, fashion-inspired photography and artful illustrations for our position guides. This new look was perfect to launch with the Talea, as it is just as forward-thinking as our new design.” The Talea Spreader Bar Bolster is currently available for retail in three options. In black faux leather, the Talea does not include cuffs and is a MSRP of $69. In the maroon faux leather, the Talea includes black nylon microfiber wrist/ankle cuffs with adjustable Velcro closure, 6 extender clips and two adjustable tethers at a MSRP of $99. In gray faux leather, the spreader bar/bolster includes Latigo black leather wrist and ankle cuffs, 4 swivel connectors, 4 extender clips and two adjustable tethers at a MSRP of $149. The 30” spreader bar bolster is vacuum compressed in artfully erotic packaging, and it is complete with assembly instructions and illustrations of sexual positions and techniques.
