These furry black handcuffs are great for beginners. They aren't the greatest, but they are decent for the price! I didn't think they had any smell to them or anything like that. The fur was nice and soft and made for a nice comfort on my wrists, although I do have smaller wrists. These might be uncomfortable for people who do have bigger wrists. They are made from metal and are 10". These were great to experiment with. They did end up breaking on us and wouldn't stay locked for us. We did have them for a while, though. I never had to do any special cleaning on these. Great first pair to own! My husband is a little weird about BDSM but was okay with using these on me!
