A Plus-Sized Person’s Friend
I really liked these restraints, and I was surprised by how easily they worked for my plus-sized partner, and my plus-sized self. The thigh straps are 29” at their maximum circumference, and worked well for my partner, though it was a bit snug on me. The pieces of leather that run under the buckle, against your skin, does not fit the entire length of the thigh straps, so I was worried about pinching when I pulled it tight on myself. However, it didn’t seem to have an issue, though I don’t know that this would be a universal experience, especially if your thigh is larger than 29”, and you need to pull it tight.Thigh vs. Wrists
The wrist cuffs are very comfortable, with a maximum buckled circumference of 8.5”. The channel of leather that runs underneath the wrists is very comfortable, and meets all the way around even at the maximum. The leather does tend to shift a bit, so to get a tight hold that was still comfortable, some adjusting of the leather is necessary. I appreciate that these cuffs are very easy-in-easy-out, but feel extremely secure once you’re in.Exploring New Ways
These restraints can be used in many different configurations. Attach a limb to a piece of furniture, incorporate them into your rope play, and find all of the different positions that can come from it. If the strap fits, you can attach it, which can be really fun when you’re working with bondage play. However, if using it for wrist-to-thigh, be mindful that shifting can be difficult. I was able to roll from my back to my stomach, and then up onto my knees, but staying in the restraints and trying to maneuver on top of my partner was almost impossible. Always remember that the person in the restraints is very vulnerable, and safety needs to be considered when playing within them.
The design is very simple. Two soft pieces of leather hold the thicker and stronger leather of the straps on top of each other so that they buckle in opposite directions. Both the wrist and thigh buckles are made of silver metal, and when they buckle around the limb, there is wider and softer leather between your skin and the buckle to prevent pinching the skin, and create a smoother experience.
These restraints could not be easier to use! You simply strap them onto yourself, your partner, your furniture, anything you want to bind to and hold in place. The only difficulty you may run into is adjusting the soft leather so that it sits comfortably on the wrist and thigh. The soft leather is only attached to the straps in the middle section, so some adjustment may be required.
The leather of these restraints is genuine, and the straps and buckles are very strong and secure. I worry about the bond between the two opposing straps, though. I think with some really rough play, the stitching could come apart somewhat easily. With just two sessions of somewhat mild play, I’m seeing some wear and tear where we’ve pulled away some of the stitches. If you’re handy and can fix that, I don’t think it’s a problem, but it might be annoying if you enjoy really rough play that the stitching may not hold up against.
These cuffs cost a little more than I would be willing to pay. The leather is genuine, and very soft, but without an extra wrist padding (i.e., fur or cotton lining), and the fact that it doesn’t come with any storage bag/box, I don’t know that it’s entirely worth it. These restraints will hold up for probably one or two more bondage sessions for me, and I’d like more from it for the cost.
These restraints certainly deliver on their performance! They do exactly as they claim, and are very versatile to work with. They have a lot of adaptability and are made from good materials.
The packaging of these restraints is very simple. They arrived in a clear plastic bag with a small label on the bottom. I don’t know that I would call the packaging discreet, as it is very clearly leather straps, even when seen inside the bag, but there are no large lettering or large stickers on it to announce its purpose.
These restraints are made from genuine leather, soft and stiff. The buckles are made of silver metal, though I am not clear as to whether they are sterling or not. Clean up for these is very simple; a wet paper towel or wet wipe can clean these very quickly and well. For more intense fluid stains, I would recommend using some toy cleaner, and wiping them down. I would not recommend putting these in the laundry or dishwasher, or exposing them to excessive water.

I really enjoy these restraints. They have their weak points, but overall I think that they give the chance for some really fun and exciting new ways to experience bondage, especially for any beginner. If you're looking to purchase these, I would only say to look carefully at the sizing, and really evaluate your strength and the roughness of your play.
