This is intended for the willing hostage. This is our first foray into bondage so my Hunny wanted cuffs with velcro closures and that was reasonably priced. The bondage kit fit this bill perfectly. I was surprised by how light-weight all of the components are. Although light-weight, they are quite durable for light to medium play. The light-weight nature makes this kit great for travel. As most hotels do not have bed posts, an under bed system is perfect. Being light-weight, it can easily be folded and hooked together with rubber bands to throw into your overnight bag for fun on the road.

The tethers are quite strong and will take a good amount of pressure. One thing I did notice is that the design does not keep your hands and feet apart. If you had four separate restraints, you could keep your willing victim from moving their hands or legs together. As the restraints are hooked together, this is not possible. If you want to keep your partner's legs or arms spread, you will need a spreader bar or some other device.

I did discover that this system can also be used for positioning. As it is very adjustable, you can hook your ankles into the cuffs above your head to keep your legs raised while in the missionary position. If you have thigh cuffs you can use them instead. I like when items have multiple fun uses.

The first thing that hits you when you open the plastic package is the strong chemical smell. I am not very sensitive to scents so I was surprised by the strong smell. I left it out to air while I was gone out of town for three days, in hopes that the scent would dissipate. Unfortunately, it has not. The smell came off on me as well. Yuck!

The tethers are light weight but appear to be strong. They are made of 1" wide nylon web and are 48" long. There are plastic adjusters on the middle section as well as on each of the tethers. There are metal attachments hooking the center section to the tethers together. The cuffs are made of Neoprene and have velcro across them. There is a metal clip to remove the cuffs from the tethers. As another reviewer suggested, I took off the hook and turned it around so that it remained attached to the tether. This allows for other cuffs to be attached.

The box states there are velvet hand and leg cuffs. These are not velvet by any stretch of the imagination. They are made of a very thin neoprene.

This performs as described. It is wonderful for beginners as it is light weight and has cuffs with velcro closures. With enough effort you can eventually free yourself if you really want to. But if you are a willing hostage, would you really want to escape? Those who do not have a high level of trust with their partner or are apprehensive to restraints may like just knowing this though. My husband is a bit less adventurous that I am so this feature was a plus for him. As time goes on, I think we will be replacing these cuffs for more durable ones without velcro.

The cuffs are very adjustable and can be used for most people. I did like that all four cuffs are the same size so that you do not have to switch them if you switch positions. The rest of the set is good for any level player, but the cuffs are definitely for beginners only.

One pleasant discovery was that the cuffs can also be used for positioning when in the missionary position. Holding up my legs can be tiring. Hooking my ankles to the straps above my head solves that issue. I was considering purchasing a sex sling to assist with this. Not only is this more cost effective, it also does not strain your neck as I understand that the slings can do.

The care needed is fairly minimal. The nylon webbing can be spot cleaned as needed and the neoprene cuffs can be washed with a mild detergent if they get sweat on them. As with most velcro, it is susceptible to having hair, fuzz, etc, attach to it so you need to be aware of that. It also means that you do not want to wash the cuffs in the wash with anything else. I have not tried washing this, so cannot comment on washing durability. If it needed cleaning, I would choose to spot clean it as opposed to putting it in the washer/dryer.

It can be wrapped up and stored easily. As the box is quite large for it and not very discrete, I choose to store mine in a large zip lock bag in my toy box. It can easily be left under the bed with the cuffs either stored between the mattress and box springs or stored elsewhere.

The bondage kit comes in a white cardboard box that is not discrete. It has a woman using the restraints on the front, back and sides. The box is fairly durable so it could be used for storage if you are not concerned with people seeing that you have the system. Inside the box, you will find a clear plastic bag with the restraint system inside. The restraints are about an inch wide and are made of a webbed nylon. They are very lightweight. The tethers are looped around a d-ring and attach to the center section which goes under the bed. The cuffs attach to the tethers by two rings (similar to keychain rings only larger) and a clasp. I moved the clasp from the cuffs to the tether so that a different cuff could be changed out in the future.

This is a great system for those who do not have a headboard that you can attach ties to. You can use them with the tethers at the top/bottom or from the sides of the bed. If you use the tethers at the top/bottom of the bed, the person tied can move their hands/feet back and forth. To secure your willing victim with arms and/or legs spread, you will want to have the tethers coming from each side of the bed.

The system can easily be thrown into a suitcase, backpack or large handbag. These are great for travel and take only a few minutes to set up under any bed. I have set it up myself within a few minutes although it is much easier with two people. Of course the larger the bed you are installing it under, the more effort it takes to lift the mattress and put it under the middle of the bed.

These would be good for use in a dorm or hotel room. You can also be good for those who like bondage play in more than one bed. When folded, it does not take up much room.

I am not a fan of the cuffs. The neoprene is very stinky and I do not like velcro. If I am going to be bound, I want to know I cannot work my way free. Of course what I do not like is a benefit for those who want the option of escaping. My partner is less enthusiastic about not being able to escape, so they are great for him.

The cuffs are easily changeable by simply clipping on another set. You can also switch them out with thigh cuffs to use as another bonding option or to use as a positioning aid.

Unfortunately, the tethers are not detachable from the main center strap. If they were this would give you the versatility to use them for locations other than the bed. You can however attach additional tethers to the center strap.

I like that you can change the cuffs easily. I will be getting some more durable cuffs as well as some thigh cuffs to add to the versatility. In addition to bondage play, it can also be used as a positioning aid to keep legs up in the air or for leverage to pull yourself into your partner.

This by itself is very quiet. How loud you and your partner are while using it may make it obvious to those who are in the next room. Of course a gag and a bit of music could solve that issue.
