These cuffs are very durable, comfortable, and they even lock. They are very much worth your investment, especially because if they break or are found to be defective they are guaranteed for life, and Aslan Leather will repair them for free. I adore these cuffs and think you will too.

Pros
Vegan, Guaranteed for life, Beautiful, Locking, Sturdy.
I wear cuffs to bed every night, and me and my husband were looking for some new cuffs to wear to bed. These fit the bill, perfectly. They also work very well for binding, and even feel sturdier than my leather cuffs. They have held up to quite a bit of strain and activity so far. The only thing we have not tried to do with them in suspensions, but I do not personally feel that this style of cuffs is ideal for suspensions. These cuffs should hold up to anything you would like to do with them on the ground, but like I mentioned, I am unsure how well they would hold up to suspension play.
These cuffs are made from vegan leather, which means no animal products are used in the making of these cuffs. Whether or not you are vegan, these cuffs are a just plain stunning addition to anyone's toy chest. They are capable of fitting wrists or ankles from 5.5"-8", so they will fit a variety of people. One thing about these is that they definitely "soften" a bit with wear. When we first got them, they were incredibly stiff, but after a couple of weeks' worth of wearings to bed, they have conformed to the exact shape of my wrist and have gone from stiff and slightly uncomfortable, to comfy and snuggly. We have used them many times, and the sturdy vegan leather shows no signs of wear, aside from them conforming to my wrists better. They are great for both advanced or users new to BDSM or bondage play in general.
These cuffs work very well! They are much sturdier than they first look, and since they are not real leather, I was skeptical at first. These really are the cuffs you want if for some reason you cannot use leather and you are into heavy bondage play. They even lock, which is a major bonus, and something I really enjoy. They are not incredibly easy to get on yourself, but if you have a partner to help you get them on, they are not difficult. The only reason why it is hard to get them on yourself is because you would need to use two hands.
These cuffs are easy to store, you can just put them in a drawer or other such place. They do not come with a storage container of any kind, however, and after you use them a couple of times they are going to not lie flat, which means you'll not be able to use the plastic bag they came in either.
As far as cleaning goes, the tag says that if these should get dirty you should just use a very small amount of water (just a little damp) on a cloth, and wash carefully. Once you're done washing, make sure to completely dry your cuffs! This material does not like being wet. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely sterilize the cuffs, so it is best to not share these.
The cuffs arrived in a plastic bag with just a tag attached saying how to clean them. The tag is small, as was the packaging, but I kind of enjoyed the simplicity and lack of waste.
One thing which I absolutely love about these is that they are guaranteed for life! If they should break or are found to be defective, then you can return them to Aslan Leather for repair! That makes these a great investment.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
These cuffs are still absolutely wonderful. They are just as sturdy and show no sign of wear - with the exception of the fact that they conform to my wrists a lot better now. :) I am in love with these and would recommend them to anyone, beginner or otherwise!
