Pup hoods are a quintessential piece of gear used in pup play, a role play fetish where people imitate the behaviour of dogs for sexual gratification. Keep on reading to learn more about pup hoods, what they are made from and how to wear and maintain your pup hood so that it lasts you a lifetime.

What is a Pup Hood?

As the name suggests, pup hoods are a type of headgear that cover your head and face when worn. Typical pup hood designs cover the majority of the wearer’s face and head, with openings around the eyes, nose and mouth so the wearer can see and breathe. Most pup hoods either have a dog nose component that is fitted over the nose and mouth area, or have the ability to attach one as the wearer pleases.

Pup hoods can also be designed to be worn with collars, with some designs having built in collars that also double up as a lock that will ensure that the pup hood stays in place. Some pup hood designs may also be compatible with other accessories like leashes and bells.

How to Put a Pup Hood On

Putting on a pup hood is a straightforward task. All you have to do is pull it over your head and adjust it so that your eyes, nose and mouth align properly with the hood’s openings. If you have an adjustable hood or one with an integrated collar, make sure that you’ve adjusted it correctly so the fit isn’t too tight or loose.

What are Pup Hoods Made From?

Pup hoods can be made from a variety of materials, with neoprene, rubber and leather being popular choices. Neoprene pup hoods are great for long pup play sessions as they are lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Rubber pup hoods have a unique aesthetic, giving off more of a BDSM vibe than other materials due to how sleek and shiny the rubber is. Leather pup hoods are more durable and are more likely to stay in good condition, although they can be a bit heavier and more expensive than the other options.
