For starters, this cuff is adorable. It is very, very sparkly, very, very girly and sure to get you noticed. It came in a cute little bag that looks like a little shopping tote.

All of the hardware is silver in color. The inside of the cuff is black with the maker's name, "Unspoken Market" inside. It buckles shut, but does not lock on. The leather itself is sparkly, which you can't tell from the photo. Not in a tacky way, but hey, if you're worried about being tacky you probably aren't looking to buy a rhinestone cuff, right?

Speaking of rhinestones, the crystals bend with your wrist instead of sticking out awkwardly. Very convenient and makes the cuff more comfortable.

This toy absolutely fulfilled the purpose I had imagined it for. I wanted a thin, stylish cuff to use in replacement of a traditional "collaring". For those of you not particularly familiar with what it is to be collared, often the submissive half of a dominant/submissive pairing will wear some sort of marker that they belong to their dom. This may sound really intense but it is consensual and meant to be a sweet gesture for most couples. Some submissives wear an actual collar but it is more often something a bit more discreet, like a necklace.

While I would not suggest wearing this cuff to a business meeting, it can easily be easily worn out without anyone suspecting anything. I chose to attach a tag from a dog collar with my dominant's initials in it to the D-rig in order to really solidify the effect. This, obviously, makes it a bit less discreet.

Of course, you don't need to be anyone's subby to wear this cuff. You can wear it as an accessory or just to fly your freak flag.

That said I absolutely don't recommend using it as a restraint. It simply isn't safe due to how thin it is. It would be too easy to cut off circulation or bruise. Additionally, it is one cuff, which by itself would make it awkward to use as a single restraint.

This cuff is comfortable but not enough to wear all the time. I chose to use it as a sometimes "collar" when I go out. The holes for the buckle to go through are spaced a bit apart so you usually end up with the cuff a little too loose or a little too tight. On the inside of the cuff it says it is meant for wrists 6.5"-7.5".

I would consider this cuff relatively sturdy. If it were thick enough to use for bondage It would hold up quite well. It looks nice on the wrist, but if you look up-close the metal holding in the gems looks a bit rusty. It is one layer of leather which does not provide a lot of support and makes it a bit uncomfortable for extended wear. In short: it is a nice quality cuff but not 80 dollars a pair quality. If you're willing to spend 40 dollars a cuff, there are plenty of options of there for you. Eden Fantasys carries several good options in this price range that are much better suited for your bondage needs, such as Aslan Jaguar cuffs or the Luxe white wrist cuffs from the same maker.

The cuff doesn't need any special kind of storage, but is small enough if you need to hide it somewhere discreetly.

In terms of cleaning, you don't need to do tons to maintain this cuff. Leather is difficult to clean. If you get it sweaty, you're fine giving the inside a wipe-down but you should be sure to avoid getting any bodily fluids on it since it can't be safely sterilized.

In brief. The cuff is attractive and makes a great accessory, especially as a marker for a BDSM relationship. I got what I wanted out of this toy but think anyone looking for a restraint best look elsewhere (on the site, of course!)
