This product is best used as a suggestion. By that, I mean, if you're truly hoping to hold someone with these then you will only find disappointment. I would consider these a novelty item. I would also add that these would be best used by beginners.

The design was fun. The black lent the cuffs to a more "dark" side of sex while the metal rings and strong plastic buckle sets the tone for serious bondage fun. One cuff says, "Don't" while the other says, "Stop." This is a great addition, I think, for the person who is both mentally & visually stimulated. I know the written word does wild things to me!

As for how well made the cuffs are... that leaves a little to be desired. The cuffs feel great on spec; unfortunately, they didn't hold up to my initial test run. The cuffs unfortunately, or fortunately as it were, after my partner's arousal levels went off the charts.

I used these cuffs to tie my lover down with a rope binding the cuffs to the headboard. Unfortunately, my rather randy partner (what I can I say? I was using these in conjunction with the Men's Ball Buster Kit (#SE201400) and some lube!) kind of came unglued and broke the cuffs apart. Now, upon inspection later it does look as if the plastic buckle simply came apart and they can be used again. But, this clearly showed me that if I'm going to get my partner that fired up I'm going to have to find something better to tie him down with.

These obviously don't require the care and maintenance that other toys might. A simple wiping down with a damp cloth would most likely clean them up nicely.

The packaging was fun, current and contained a flyer for other fun items.
