As my title says, these handcuffs are great if you plan on dressing up like a police office (or something like that). They are made of metal, and they do look pretty realistic. If you were looking to purchase these for foreplay, then I would recommend them.

However, if you wanted to wear these during sex as a restraint, I would not suggest buying this pair of handcuffs. They are pretty lightweight, so they will not hold up under too much pressure. With too much pressure, you run the risk of the handcuffs popping open or even snapping. Another reason that I would not wear these during sex is that they are not lined. Although they are not uncomfortable during regular wear, they may dig into your skin during intense activities. On the other hand, if you are okay with a bit of pain, then you have nothing to worry about!

A great thing about these handcuffs is how easily they can be adjusted. Because of this, they can be worn on either the wrists or the ankles. Of course, you can also attach them to the bedposts, or other like objects. They are standard handcuffs, so they don't stretch too far.

Another good thing is that the set comes with two keys. I like to keep one in a safe place, so that I will always know where it is, just in case I lose the other. However, even if you were to lose both keys, it would be easy to take these off; there is a quick release latch on the side for this reason. The reason I like to always have a back up key is because I would hate to break character during replay. The keys don't look as realistic as the handcuffs themselves, but they work well enough!

Lastly, since these handcuffs are made out of metal, they are very easy to clean. I have wiped them down with some soap and water, and they look as good as new afterwards. I have had these handcuffs for well over a year. I'm surprised that they haven't rusted, since they were so cheap!

Overall, these handcuffs are decent; it all just depends on your taste preferences, and how you want to use them!

When I wrote my original review, I had owned the handcuffs for over a year. I did use them a few times a month, but not for long periods of time. As my partner has become more interested in bondage, we have used these handcuffs more often and for longer time intervals. At this point, the product is definitely starting to show signs of weakening. The joints don't seem as tight and the safety latch is definitely weaker.

Despite this issue, I still like this product and would not change my original rating of 3 stars. It's a decent product and, as I wrote in my review, not necessarily made for rough, or even extended, play.

Additionally, most handcuffs will eventually show signs of wear. However, since this pair is so cheap, I won't feel bad when the time comes to throw them out and purchase a new set. I spent $10 and used them for over a year; that seems pretty fair to me!
