This is a restraint set and is meant to go under your bed. Granted, you can always get a bit creative but the general principle of the set remains. You place the strap between your mattress and box spring for a night of bondage fun. It's easy to use and set up and would work excellently for those who want to experiment with bondage but can barely tie their own shoes, let alone an effective knot.

It won't restrain you tightly, there is still plenty of freedom for movement back and forth. If you want your partner tied down with legs spread then you'll have to look for something other than this set. The length of the straps do not allow you to pull the straps out of the sides of the bed, only the top and bottom center. You can keep their arms and legs mostly on the bed though.

I also found that with the velcro cuffs it's possible to use this set solo if you're looking to spice up your more personal routine, although it's way easier if at least one strap is not overly tightened.

The entire thing consists of a black webbed center piece (think backpack and soft lunchboxes) with one strap which then splits into the two also webbed straps on either end, held to the center with a metal D ring. Each of the three sections are roughly 50 inches long. From end to end, not including the clips and restraints themselves, this measures about 150 inches. It's adjustable so you can shorten if you find that you need to shorten the length a bit. You can adjust each strap, including the center with the plastic things that slide and are generally found on most strappy things, like backpacks and whatnot.

On the end of each strap is a metal ring, like the ones on key chains that everyone hates to use. Fortunately, unless you're modifying the system, you can avoid using them. The restraints clip on with a metal clip, also attached to the restraints by the stupid key rings, meaning you can take them off to use the system with another set of restraints. They put them on the opposite of how I would have done it. In order to use the same clips you need to remove them from the restraints themselves, rather than the under the bed portion. It is a minor annoyance but still an annoyance.

From end to velcro the foam neoprene restraints are 17", with 10 1/2" inches being the soft cuff and the remaining being velcro. If your wrists or ankles measure bigger than 10 1/2" you will have scratchy velcro against your skin so a different sent of restraints is recommended unless that's your thing. For the smaller-wristed user (like me!), the velcro can be rather lengthy but it can be placed through or against the annoying keyring thing so that it doesn't really get in the way.They are roughly 1/8" thick and quite squishy.

The craftsmanship is okay, at best. The stitching isn't the greatest, after only a few uses I can see the velcro separating from the cuff and I did not give them too strong of a work out. It appears as though it was sewn with a pretty large stitch just one time around the edges of the velcro. Repeated very strong struggling may not be ideal with these particular cuffs but the rest of the system should be able to handle a good amount. The ends sewn to the rings are stitched over at least twice.

This set worked decently well. It's adjustability makes for a variety of different levels of restraint and it is pretty easy to use. I am thrilled with the fact that we can swap out the cuffs that it came with for a different, higher quality set. Since I have super tiny wrists the velcro closure did keep me reasonably restricted; it tended to wrap all of the way around to the keyring attachment and then some. Someone with larger wrists may not feel as secured.

It's pretty easy to set up and does not take too long so you can get right to business.

I'm pretty sure on a kinky and creative day most people could think up some new applications for this system, although suspension is not recommended for this set. It isn't quite that awesome and the velcro restraints would make it rather dangerous.

This set can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Be certain to dry it out before putting it away; mold tends to make things less fun.

For storage you could pack everything up and attempt to avoid tangling things too terribly or carefully fold and rubber band the entire system (or make your sub do it for you). Then again, you could just leave everything in place. The straps can easily be tucked into blankets, under pillows, or under your mattress with the rest of the system if you wish to hide it. The latter is my preferred method of "storage".

The packaging is obnoxious to say the least. Did you see the scantily clad moaning girl on the front page? Yeah, she's plastered all over the box. If you look carefully at her arms in a couple of different pictures you can see the less than spectacular Photoshop job. Seriously. In two different pictures her arm seems misshapen. In one it just doesn't look right and in the other it's considerably smaller than the other arm. /nerdiness

The instructions on how to set up the system are on the back of the box, complete with diagrams.

Inside of the box is also a free blindfold. It isn't that great, really. It's rather cheap but it's free.
