Imagine a big twist tie coated in a silky type material and enlarged to about 2 inches around and about 34 inches long, and you have the Twisted Love Ties by Sportsheets. The Twisted Love Ties are some sort of sturdy, yet bendable, wire which is surrounded by foam. Over the foam, it is covered with a nylon type sleeve. I would not recommend getting these wet or allowing them to get dirty with either bodily fluids or lubes as it will discolor the outer sleeve. If you need to clean them up, spot cleaning is the only safe method for you to use. Just use a washcloth with warm water and a mild soap.

These are quite strong and effective for use on either the ankles or wrists, but I personally have a few issues with them which make them sink to the bottom of the toy chest. If you are bony, like I am in the wrists and ankles, when they are put around the ankles and wrists they can actually put a significant amount of direct pressure on the bones which is quite uncomfortable. It isn't too bad at first but it does not get better. It gets worse the longer you leave them on. Alternatively, I attempeted to use them on a fleshier part of my body, (above the elbows instead of on the wrists) and this wasn't much better. They seem to take advantage of any loose skin or hairs and pull and pinch the hairs when the ties are twisted. Needless to say, these things make them very uncomfortable. While I personally like some pain, I do not like my cuffs or bondage restraints themselves to be uncomfortble because I can be in them for quite some time.

If these aspects do not immediately turn you off from using them, they are versatile and strong. If you have a headboard with slats or any hitching rings up on your wall, it is fairly simple and self explanitory how to tie someone up. Just put the ties around the wrists and then twist them around whatever you want to chain the person to. You can also use them to tie someone's wrists together or attempt to hog tie them. Rope is so much simpler, just as secure and less painful. They are very strong. I could not squirm out of them when they were applied tightly enough. It is not exactly easy to get them tight enough around the wrists to be secure while not being really uncomfortable. I will not be using these Twisted Love Ties again.
