A package arrived at my door in one of those boxes used to mail shoes. I know this because that’s what it said, “shoes.” Inside was a package containing the Crave Wrist Restraints by Spartacus. Talk about discreet shipping!

 The package was extremely easy to get open, no scissors or hassle necessary. The cuffs are a gorgeous deep purple. They are made of sturdy leather that is fairly soft and does not fall apart at all. The fur on the inside felt so soft that I had to check the package a second time to make sure it was faux fur.

 The cuffs are easy to get on yourself, have put on you, or put on someone else. Even by someone who has never put cuffs on someone else before. They are not as wide as some of my other cuffs, which I rather liked. The color stayed on the leather and did not transfer onto myself, my partner, or the sheets. I’ve had that happen before, and there is nothing worse than having your wrists stained for a week or two.

The cuffs were comfortable to wear with some give. There was some slight discomfort with the buckle over my wrist bone while I was tied down, but that only enhanced the pleasure. The cuffs were even comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. I fell asleep wearing them the first night.

I don’t know how well they would hold up under hard use for months on end; I think that the leather would stretch out eventually and probably break. Although I think the wooden slats on my bed would go first! But other than that, they seem pretty close to perfect.

These cuffs would make a good addition for anyone who likes restraints, adventure, or the color purple.
