Sex handcuffs

Love is Spelled in Red and Black

These are awesome cuffs for those who like a little BDSM play once in a while or for someone who dabbles in it on a regular basis. They don't dig into the skin during play, which is great for anyone who is looking for new, more comfortable cuffs. Since there isn't a bonding material (ie a chain), the user can be inventive and can control how they want to be tied up or how they wish to tie their lover up.

Use

Wrist Kink cuffs are meant to be used during light to moderately heavy BDSM scenes. What is given to you are two cuffs with incredibly durable d rings, leaving the user to use whatever binding material they like; including but not limited to chains, leather binding strips or whatever pieces of fabric that may be lying around.

I like how the user can determine what kind of binding material they wish to use; it can allow even novices (such as myself) feel comfortable wearing them; by comfortable I mean that I didn't feel completely restrained, but of course, I used a piece of lace so that I may easily undo it. However, the (real!) leather strips that holds the nylon together is durable enough to be used in heavier play. The cuffs also do not dig into the skin, which I think is great attribute for anyone looking for sexy cuffs without the pain problem.

I also thought this could be a cute fashion accessory that could be worn as a bracelet or an anklet.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

Each cuff is made of strip of black nylon that is held together by a piece of red leather with a small metal buckle. The d ring is attached to the leather strip, making it so that it is incredibly hard to remove it. It ranks as a seven on the Eden safety scale, but I don'think that it's entirely necessary to note that, unless of course, someone is sensitive to those types of materials.

The whole shebang is nine and a half inches long with a width of two inches; just a little bit bigger than a men's watch. It can fit anyone from five inches to nine inches, though I noticed that when the buckle is placed in the last loop of the leather strip, the tongue of the buckle tended to pop out. I also noticed when the it was placed at a ten inches circumference, the nylon strip tended to slide around quite freely underneath the leather. I wasn't too impressed with this because it can be a bit of annoyance for those who may have larger wrists. The buckles do not unbuckle themselves though, so it still can be used by the aforementioned users without fear of the cuffs coming undone.

It has a slight leather smell if smelled up close, but cannot be smelled if the cuff is sitting at arm's length away from the nose.

For small to average users, I think this would work well. I have six inch wrists and I did not experience any issues with it. It didn't cause me pain, such as digging into my skin unless of course I set the buckles on an incredibly tight setting.

Performance

This worked well for me, since I would consider myself as a complete novice of BDSM. I liked that they looked fashionable, which for me, made the cuffs less intimidating. I also liked that the cuffs didn't come with a bonding material, which allowed the user to utilize whatever material they felt comfortable.

They were easy enough to put on; in fact the person wearing them could put them on themselves without an issue, but when tied up, it would take an act of god to have the buckles undone.

However, since my experience obviously doesn't cover everyone's interests, I also applied chains to the cuffs to see if they could last during more intense use, and they passed! The leather and the buckle was strong enough to endure moderately brutal tugging; the only way I could see this breaking is if they were badly abused.

I also thought that the cuffs looked innocent enough that they could pass as a pretty bracelet or anklet that could be used in a public setting.
    • Comfortable during use
    • Easy to put on / use
    • Holds up to use well

Care and Maintenance

Since these have a leather component, you'll want to take care that you don't get ANY body fluid on your cuffs. But accidents happen, so I would recommend either a good leather cleaner for the leather and a warm slightly wet, non- soapy rag for the nylon. If you do not have a leather cleaner, the wet rag can be used on the leather as well. When done, take care to leave out to air dry for about a day or so.

Since the Kink cuffs are pretty small and discreet, you can store them in a jewelry box, toy box, or you can leave them out on your kitchen counter. I personally like to store it in the can that the cuffs came in.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

The cuffs came in medium- small black, plastic can with Kink Cuffs written in incredibly large letters on the display insert- the can is about the same height as the Fun Factory pleasure can, but twice as wide. The insert can be removed for those who like the can but not its advertising.

The insert tells the user about the materials of the cuff, but does not include instructions of any sort. It also notes that the cuffs come in pink or red, but unfortunately Eden does not sell the pink version of these.

If you don't like the can, it can easily be given to your recycling man/ woman.
    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Good for storage
    • Minimal

Personal comments

I'm not a huge BDSM player, but I do like to be tied up every now and then. These cuffs are wonderful for people who have dabbled in BDSM once or twice before, but is also great for those who very familiar with the game. I was very comfortable and did not have any issues with the cuffs digging into my skin during play.

My only complaint is that I wish the nylon strap wouldn't slide around for those who have bigger wrists. Other than that, I think these will be coming out of the toy box quite often.
