Being relatively new to the bondage world, I decided to give these straps a try. I am in love. They are surprisingly comfortable, while still being extremely functional. The restraints have a very soft feel to them that keeps them from rubbing. Easily preferable to rope in my opinion. They are definitely more for newcomers and those wishing to "spice things up". The Velcro gives the appearance of being easy to get out of but I have found them to stay in place nicely while still allowing for an easy escape when needed. Of course they won't do for anyone looking for serious bondage but for those wanting something comfortable, discreet, and fun these are the ones. When you are done with your night of play they tuck neatly under the mattress out of sight. Ideal for anyone who, like me, has young children in the home asking those wonderful "Mommy what are these??" questions.

Since buying these, I have become much more involved in the BDSM lifestyle and experienced much more expensive and severe restraints... I still use these on a regular basis. They stand up wonderfully to the "strain" I put on them and are still in perfect condition. I haven't had any problem with them getting messy but if they do I just wipe them down with a damp cloth.

A wonderful toy to use along with other toys or by itself. Strap your partner down and pull out a vibrator for a never ending night of ecstasy. (I also recommend a gag and blindfold). Use them alone to drive your partner to new levels of sensation. Anyone wishing to experiment with their sex life will find these straps to be just what they need. Over all I very highly recommend this toy. A must-have for the adventurous lovers.
