This toy is probably one of my favorite purchases to date. The cuffs are soft and comfortable and are easy to put on either by a partner or solo. The Velcro fastening makes the cuffs easy to escape if necessary for safety reasons, though they will not come undone on accident and seem capable of withstanding quite a bit of struggling/ pulling against them. Back to the feel of the cuffs, the Velcro closure cannot be felt when the cuffs are on. The fabric touching the skin is very soft and does not scratch or chafe. In my opinion, they are comfortable enough to sleep in.

The cuffs are not fancy in appearance, but appear very functional. If appearance matters a ton to you, then this might not be the best product out there for you. However if you are looking for a very simple and straightforward beginner's cuffs then these seem quite appropriate. The two cuffs connect via a plastic buckle much like those on many backpacks. The cuffs themselves are about 2 inches thick, though there is a more firm section of about 1 inch where the Velcro attachment is. This has a feeling of stability while the excess soft material around the edges prevents the smaller section from being tough or chafing. There is a short tether between the cuffs that can be shortened to only the buckle separating the cuffs or lengthened to about 2 feet. This length is appropriate if simply cuffing hands together (without connecting to anything) or cuffing to a bed post, thin object, etc. However if you would like to tether the cuffs to something thicker, say under a mattress, etc, either you will have to find an extra accessory that can somehow add on or use a different product all together. The materials can be hand washed if needed (nylon, plastic, and polyester).

As I said before, this has been my favorite purchase to date and seem to make great beginner cuffs as they are comfortable, sturdy, yet easily escapable if necessary.
