Having only tried one other bondage toy, the Fantasy Domination Kit, and finding it lacking, I decided Black Fox and I needed to give something new a go. So for my next review, I decided on the Plushy Gear Ankle Cuffs. There are also a pair of matching wrist cuffs available, but the flexibility of the larger ankle cuffs was a plus.

The packaging it came in was a very simple hanging box; nothing fancy, but for the price I wouldn't expect it to be. Inside, the two cuffs were packed flat together in a plastic bag with adhesive flap. Sliding them out of the bag, I saw right away that the build quality was much better than expected. The stitching was solid, the rings well attached, and the material a soft velvety fabric. Like my last bondage toy, they use velcro, which may put some off. The metal clasps and D rings give them great flexibility for play.

After examining them and chatting about them with Black Fox for a bit I tried them on my ankles. Not bad! The cuffs are padded comfortably and the material is soft and comfortable. Unfortunately, due to our busy lives, we had to put them away for a few days.

A few days later, after some anxious waiting, I decided to test them out. Once we got in the mood and were having some fun for a while, I slipped them onto my lover's wrists. As I mentioned before, these are more flexible than the wrist cuffs, and have enough strapping material to be used on the wrist as well. Using the dee rings, I kept her arms pinned down securely, and after a while I quickly snapped them together using the clasps. Later, she told me she didn't even hear me snap them together and hadn't realized it till she tried to move her arms. With her wrists securely bound together, I pounded and played with her till I was about worn out. Talk about a good time!

For the price, you can't beat these cuffs! We've found that they're both comfortable and easy to use as well as well built. In my opinion, unless you have very thin wrists, I'd recommend skipping getting the wrist cuffs and just buy two pairs of these if you want a full set.

If I have any complaints, they are only small ones. This material gets a bit warm and itchy after a while. It's nothing horribly bad, but just a slight irritation due to the pile of the velvet-like material. The other complaint is that the corners of the velcro strips are pointed. Again, not a game breaker, but that's the downside with velcro on most things.

These still get some use every so often and I still like them as much as I did when I first got them. They're comfortable, fairly well built, and are always a lot of fun!
