I'll admit I'm no wikipedia expert, but should this really be categorized as a BDSM article? I think the use of blindfolds in child's games, office parties, and the like, makes it a more innocent item then one would believe by calling it BDSM-related.
I hope everyone agrees on how I did this, it seemed the best way to take care of it. -- Romeo Bravo 01:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Mmmk, so I've redone the page a little bit for cleanliness. Maybe some photos? Any other uses for blindfolds? - Mike Tigas 02:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I see this has been discussed before, but I really can't see any point in having two articles about blindfolds ( blindfold and blindfold (BDSM)). The BDSM usage is exactly the same as any other, even if the context is different. Hogtied 12:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
To this same end, I think we should merge sleep mask. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, after all. Plus, the added content would do wonders for this stubby page. What say y'all? ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 21:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I was looking to see if there was any mention about the effectiveness depending on the height of the user's bridge of the nose. As an Anglo with a fairly prominent nose bridge I notice that I can usually see through the bottom of most blindfolds making them less effective like in "Pin the tail on the donkey" but most problematic for activities like sleeping where I actually WANT to block sight. On the other hand, my children are half Chinese and the bridge of their nose is a lot closer to the height of the cheekbone and so does not push against the blindfold much at all. In WW2 pictures in France and Italy you see pretty thick material, 4-6 inches to cover the eyes, but like in pictures from Viet Nam and Cambodia in the 60s and 70s you see they use super thin material sometimes looking like cords to tie the eyes making me think the nose might have something to do with the material chosen, the taller the nose the thicker the material needed to be effective. Anyone else know anything about this? Is it even worth mentioning? -- Billy Nair ( talk) 00:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
As the blindfold has long been a powerful symbol for justice, victimisation, denial, depth, trust, foolishness, illusion, senselessness, or unconsciousness, I think there should be a section on this page that references these various symbolic elements. Blindfold symbolism is commonly found in tarot and popular culture. It's also a quintessential part of the Lady Justice statue which symbolises the legal system of the United States of America.

I noticed that the file information for the sleep mask image includes a reference to a website that sells custom sleep masks, where I found copy very similar to that in the "Applications" section of the article (which has been edited since it was added). I think someone might have copied that information here, but it could be the other way around; or perhaps it was added by someone affiliated with that site? B7T ( talk) 01:29, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Blindfolds are commonly used both in chess competitions and when solving Rubik's cubes. The article refers to blindfolds being used in children's games but fails to mention their use in more adult but non-sexual pastimes. Blindfoldcubist ( talk) 01:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
