This is my favorite new toy. My partner and I used this for the first time and let me tell you, WOW! He had the straps on the bed but I never even noticed them because of how small they are. As the foreplay started, he covered my eyes with the mask. I will say the elastic on the mask did cut into my ears a bit, but once the strap was pulled up a bit, it was fine. The covering is soft enough that you almost forget you have it on. As he lead me to the bed, the games were on. He very quickly had my hands and legs restrained and it was time to let go.

What I really liked was how soft the cuffs were. You, at times, forget they are even there while your partner is teasing your body. You only get brought back to reality when you go to move and can't. The material of the straps are made of nylon. They seem to be very durable, and they are easy to put away. We were able to wrap them over the cuffs and store them in our magic drawer.

Anybody that is looking into playing in the BDSM area, this would be a great start. They are not so hard core that you feel like you are in a dungeon, but are also not as soft as fur cuffs. You get the feeling of being restrained at your partner's will and it will allow you to know if you want to try more. Also, they would travel well and not stand out as anything sexual at TSA. Yes, we all think they look at our stuff, and heaven forbid they think we are different.

I give these a 2 thumbs up for a first step into a new world of BDSM. You can't beat a product like this for the price.

What I loved about the straps is they were small enough that you can have them prepared and your partner will never know they are there, until he or she slides you into them. Then, it is time to just enjoy the ride. It was a perfect play toy for me being restrained for the first time.
