For the price these cuffs they are a fairly well made product. They are covered in a faux fur that provided some protection from the cuffs rubbing against your wrist. While they do come with a key, there is really no need since these cuffs do have the release button for easy removal. The hinge where the two sides of the cuff meet is very flimsy and moves side to side, any amount of force or pressure on the hinge and they would surely bend if not break. While they are covered in the faux fur, this sleeve of material tends to shift or “ride” up the cuff while on, leaving your wrists exposed to the bare metal cuff. The two cuffs are connected in the middle with two sets of chain links, which also seem that if any amount of force was applied to pulling them apart these links would bend and open.

Now both of us have been “locked up” in these cuffs and have had some fun with them, and are somewhat user friendly. Now I have fairly small wrists and found them to be comfortable while wearing them, my boyfriend on the other hand has larger wrists and has mentioned that they do dig into his wrists anytime I have restrained him. So these may not be ideal for some one on the larger side.

I do find the “lick” and “me” on the cuffs to be a bit distracting and a bit of a turn off, so I normally use them with out the sleeve of material. Also since the sleeves do come off the cuff you can wash them in the event they get dirty.

Overall for the price of the product I would say that these cuffs would make a fine addition to anyone’s collection that is new to or wanting to experiment with restraints. Since they do have the release button you are never fully out of control. Also the cost is such that if you find this is not your thing, you are not left with the disappointment of any sort of investment.
