I'm fairly new to bondage and restraint play, and these cuffs are perfect for those of us just starting out and looking to ease into things. The material is absolutely perfect, soft and totally comfortable, and yet these are surprisingly strong and durable—no need to be afraid of struggling too hard with these, at least while they're still new. They can easily be used on both ankles and wrists, bound together or apart, and the size range of the velcro should fit almost everyone. These leave no marks, at least from the actual cuff part; the worst I ever suffered from these was a bit of scratchiness from the velcro. I haven't needed to clean them yet, but I see no reason they couldn't be tossed in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry and come out just fine.

I haven't used these in a while now, but my previous partner and I would often get hours of mileage out of these without too much effort. These are also good for self-bondage, if you're into that; with a little twisting, you can easily do and undo the velcro on your own. (That might be a downside for some, particularly those into heavier BDSM, but for me personally at least it's not hard to forget about that in the middle of play. And if you're new and a bit nervous, it might be nice feeling like you have an escape route.)

Overall these are great as part of a starter kit or as something quick and portable for kinksters on-the-go. You might get bored with these once you get into more elaborate forms of bondage and restraint, but for what they are they're definitely worth it, and the price is great. Definitely one of my favorite purchases so far.
