I've loved these cuffs since the moment I first saw them. The soft pink and blue colors and the incredible contrast... I mean, who wouldn't love them!? Sure, they're not hardcore cuffs, but that's never been what I look for. My other set is a soft, padded, fur lined collection, which should give you a clearer picture that I'm in it for light S&M, nothing hard.

When the cuffs arrived (ordered them with the Fresh Buckle collar to make an amazing set), they're packed in typical cheap plastic. Initially, this made me wonder how great my selection would be... but once outside the packaging I was pleasantly surprised. The cuffs are a nice, supple leather and lightly lined on the inside. The lining on the inside feels very soft and makes wearing the cuffs much more comfortable than unlined leather. Overall, they're actually very well designed. They separate (the inner blue and out pink parts) near the buckle assembly, which make wrapping them and tightening easy on most size wrists. (I have incredibly small wrists, and while they fit snugly, they did not get tight enough to prevent movement around the wrist). We used them in conjunction with the adjustable spreader bar and they worked perfectly (keep in mind, you still need some sort of clips to attach the cuffs to the spreader bar...see your local home improvement store or Amazon).

One thing to note about these cuffs is that they're not made for any kind of serious restraint or suspension. They'll hold your lover in place well, but they aren't for hardcore or heavy use. We used the spreader bar suspended from the ceiling, which made for great fun, but it was low enough to not be supporting any of my weight. Even that low, with the cuffs pulling on my wrists, they started to slide apart a bit where the two pieces overlap. I think they're really best suited for on the bed, the spreader bar, etc., but nothing too serious.

These are, hand down, the cutest restraints I've ever seen or ever owned! I just ordered the ankle restrains to match and can't wait for a full set. As mentioned in our review, we used these with the adjustable spreader bar, but today we ordered the under-the-bed restrain system by Sportsheets to go with this set! Definitely a great set to own!
