Somebody has been missing for a little while & I was on a mission to see what happened. Is the Energizer Bunny beating his drum-keeping the kangaroos off highways, waking the dead in Pompei or scaring up a sign of life on Mars? Little did I know what fate had in store....

It started out just like any other day; I woke up & had a cup of coffee (or two), went to work at the office & during a break logged on to Eden. I wanted more toys & was going to make sure I got them. My luck seemed to hold, not only did I get the toys I wanted, but there were free gifts included! Time passed slowly as I waited for my package to arrive.

The day finally arrived, & as I waited for the package to arrive. I made a few phone calls. Chester Cheetah gave me a cheesy answer about the bunny switching to Duracell. Nesquick Bunny thought he saw him at the strawberry milk plant, then realized that was a cousin many times removed. Sunny informed me he knew that Energizer was 'cuckoo for Cocoa Pebbles." I decided to shelve the investigation until later, my package had arrived!!

I tore into the box & started pulling out my loot. My goodies scattered around me, there was only one box left. A black box that had white writing all over it and a pink 'Da Cuffs' in the center. It assured me these will 'seduce and arouse', are 'fun for couples', play 'pleasure games' and other interesting suggestions. I opened the lid and pulled out my new, sexy handcuffs--looked like hubby and I were going to do some very private investigating later.

I looked down at the cuffs, ready to call it an early day to go home and play, when my look of pleasure turned to absolute, complete horror!!! The shiny, silver handcuffs were covered in pink, furry ...Energizer ...Bunny ...hair!!! The Bunny would bang his drum no more--he had met with foul play! I repackaged the evidence and after gathering my other goodies, I went home early.

After I got home, I decided to look at the cuffs for clues. The silver metal is thin but seems durable and there are small release levers on each cuff, a great idea for those new to light bondage. There are two old-fashioned style keys included. Good idea, one for each person. The chain joining the cuffs together has three pretty strong links attached to the base of the cuffs with rotating fasteners.

These cuffs are made for a smaller wrist, this rules out many male suspects I had in mind. When closed, the diameter goes from 2" to 3 1/2". I also noticed some slipping and opening flaws with the fasteners. The Energizer bunny's fur is sewn into tubes which slide over the open cuffs. It does add some padding, but with excessive movement, the cuffs could bruise the wrists.

These are made for beginners to light bondage users. They are not made to be completely lockable, and with the escape latch, are easy to get out of. All I had to do was work the loops on the fastener side to slide them open one cog at a time. Still pretty fun for an adventurous couple who likes little surprises.

I noticed some writing, and sliding Energizer's fur over, saw the words 'Made in China' written on them. Is this a clue?? No, it is just the manufacturer's location. There were fingerprints and smudges, so I decided to clean them off. I washed them in warm, soapy water and rinsed them very well. I towel dried the cuffs and then washed Energizer's fur. These require hand washing, air drying and then a quick going over with a soft brush to look like my old friend again.

Looking at these cuffs brought sad waves off feelings as I realized that I may never know what happened to Energizer bunny, exactly--but at least I can close this case with a diagnosis. The Energizer Bunny met with foul play. At least he will continue to go on, and on, and on...every time these cuffs are used. The irony...no batteries needed.

So, time to go home and decide how to use these cuffs. Should I cuff my husband and tease him to distraction, or let him cuff me and use my toys on me, oh, how about...well, you get the picture!! So long, Energizer, this is one case that will remain partially unsolved for now--I have a personal suspect to cuff and play with.....

These have not worked out too well for me. The lock mechanism has broken and the cuffs no longer stay closed. I would have to say these are a good entry into using cuffs--to see if they are for you or not--but as a staple for your toy play, not so much. If cuffs are your thing, look for a sturdier, better made pair.
