Most of what Liberator makes is foam. This is the exception, and it is the one that quietly makes everything else in this collection last longer.
An absorbent microvelvet face over a hidden moisture barrier — 36 x 26 in, machine wash cold.
The Fascinator Throw is a blanket with a secret layer. The face is microvelvet — 100% polyester, plush, and deliberately absorbent. Underneath it, sewn in and invisible, is a moisture barrier. That order matters and it is the opposite of what most people assume: fluid does not bead up and roll off. It soaks into the velvet and stops at the liner, which is what keeps your mattress dry. Liberator's own care note gives the game away — wash it once or twice before you use it, because a brand-new face has not reached full absorbency yet. It is designed to get wet.
Ours is the Mini, at 36 by 26 inches, and we want to be straight with you about what that is. Liberator makes four sizes: this one, a 53-inch Travel, a 72-inch Queen, and an 80-inch King. The Mini is roughly a quarter of the Queen's area. It is a hip-zone pad. It will not cover your bed, and if that is what you came for, you want a bigger size than we stock.
What it will do is handle the mess in the place the mess happens, for CAD 92 — the least expensive and least committal thing in this collection, and the only one that folds into a drawer instead of living in your bedroom. If you have been reading about wedges and bolsters and are not ready to buy a piece of furniture, this is the sensible place to start. It also does something none of the foam shapes can do for themselves: it keeps lube and fluids off their covers, which is the difference between washing a blanket and washing a wedge.
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. That is the entire maintenance story, and it is why this beats a towel — a towel absorbs and then hands everything straight to your mattress.
Liberator warrants its sewing for twelve months. We hold twelve of these in Ottawa and ship them in plain packaging.
