What are bondage cuffs?
Bondage cuffs can be worn around wrists and ankles. They either are already joined together or will have attachment points to attach chain, rope or leather straps to for restraint.
How do you use bondage cuffs safely?
As with any restraints, it’s important to make sure they aren’t too tight so that the wearer’s circulation isn’t effected. Also, if you’re attaching the person in the cuffs to other things be mindful of the position they’ll have to take and make sure there’s not too much pressure on their arms or wrists.
Never suspend anyone from normal bondage cuffs. Use special suspension cuffs and even then make sure the submissive/bottom can touch the floor with their toes at least if you have them restrained with their arms above their head.
Why use bondage cuffs?
Bondage cuffs are an effective short cut. They make it easy to restrain a submissive either by joining the cuffs to each other or by attaching them to a fixed point on a wall, bed or spanking bench for example.
Also they are a powerful symbol of submission, even when not attached to anything else and are often coupled with a collar to prepare a submissive/bottom psychologically for play.
What are the best bondage cuffs for beginners?
When you’re choosing bondage cuffs for the first time, think about what you will be using them for. If you’re going to be wearing them for long periods of times, you might not want them fur lined or made of hard metal. If they’re for a masochist you may want harder, rougher material or fur-lined cuffs for subs who don’t enjoy pain.
Make sure you pick a pair that fit snuggly, not to tight or too loose, that you can get on and take off easily in case of emergency. Then all other considerations are simply up to personal choice. Cuffs come in lots of different colours and materials, pick the ones you like the most.
