This was my and my husband's first foray into "real" bondage gear. We had in the past used silk ties and broken a few pairs of cheap metal handcuffs, eventually deciding it was time to upgrade, thus purchasing the Fetish Fantasy Cuff and Tie Set of 4. We really enjoy the adjustably and flexibility that the set provides, these can literally be used almost anywhere and be tied to almost anything.

I would also note that our set came with a free felt blindfold not listed in the product description, but according to the packaging is standard with all the kits.

The Fetish Fantasy Cuff and Tie Set comes with 4 identical velcro cuffs. The total length of each cuff is about 44" including the tie down straps, 11" for each cuff, 8" of velcro and a plastic buckle. The velcro however is poorly sewn on to the cuffs with over an inch of loose velcro on each end reducing the velcro-able area to less than 6". While this may not seem like a big deal, because of the reduced amount of usable velcro space the cuff will only fit around an ankle or wrist with a circumference of less than 9", making the cuffs too tight for my husband's thick ankles(FYI he is 6' and 150lbs, a pretty average size). Consequently this set would probably be too constricting for many of my plus sized friend's ankles. In addition the edges of the velcro are plastic and quite sharp, we have both drawn blood when we accidentally brushed against them.

The cuffs themselves are not padded, but are quite comfortable even after hours of use. We have had this set for over 6 months and the quality and condition of them is the same as when we received them. The straps are quite durable and can really take a beating. The tie straps are sturdy, however I will note that we have never tested our full weight on them. I would not suggest attempting to have the straps/cuffs hold a large amount of weight as you could end up getting seriously hurt. The straps receive the most use in our house tied to the ends of our four-poster bed. Since there is only one nylon strap with which to tie them, after a few hours of use the knots can become quite tight and a hassle to untie. We however found a solution and simply leave them where they are tucking them out of sight under our mattress.

I usually hand wash the straps with antibacterial dish soap and hang them to dry. I don't put them in the washer as the velcro is prone to attract lint and get gummed up.

My warnings would be that it is prohibitive/uncomfortable to those with thicker ankles and wrists, and you might want to snip the loose velcro ends before putting them into play to avoid scratches.

Overall we are kindly disposed to the set. We did feel that the craftsmanship of the set was a bit lacking, but for the price we cannot complain too much. We really do like this set and use it often.
