Originally, I purchased this kit because coy suggestions that my partners incorporate restraints in our play usually proved fruitless. Now I can just reach over, grab my cuffs, and say, "Tie me up." Awesome. Additionally, the under the bed system is obviously ideal for fulfilling fantasies of sleeping in restraints for your partner's nightly enjoyment.

When the restraints first arrived, I was pleased by how easy it was to install under my mattress. I'm very petite, so flipping my mattress is no easy task. Thankfully, the strap system stayed put between the mattress and box spring frame, and there was plenty of slack to arrange the straps exactly where I wanted them.

The straps themselves are very long and adjustable, ensuring an appropriate fit for different sized mattresses. The extra length also allows for lots of mobility during use, which can be a bonus for those who want to touch or hold their partner while restrained. However, this kit is not a great option for those who prefer little or no mobility in their restraint play. You can keep the straps very short, but pulling on the cuffs will always give more length as the straps tighten around a soft mattress frame. Adjusting the appropriate length can take some experimenting.

One major benefit of this product is its discreet design. If your parents are visiting and you're scampering to hide your toys, just tuck the straps under your mattress, and ta-da: an innocent bed befitting of a vestal virgin. Alternatively, extend the straps and display your cuffs on top of your bed for a naughty invitation to lovers.

Once secured around your wrists and ankles, the velcro cuffs stay put. However, one downside of velcro is that the "sticky" strip picks up tons of lint, especially from carpet. Picking off the fuzz balls is easy enough, but it's not very attractive in the meantime.

I have very small wrists, and the cuffs that come with this product weren't snug enough for me. The large fit allowed for more mobility than I usually like from my restraints. I love the strap system, but I plan to upgrade to higher quality cuffs.
