We are looking at getting a better set of wrist and ankle cuffs for me, and I was wondering if anyone had advice on what kind was best. There seem to be SO many variations.

I don't know which of these is better -

Fur lined, fleece lined or garment leather lined. Which one would feel best if worn continuously (barring taking a shower) for a few days?

Does padded make a difference in how comfy they feel a day in, or is the extra bulk annoying?

Also, I have seen ones that look like they loop around themselves. Is this simply aesthetics, or does it add something practical?

Any personal recommendations or website links? I have looked till my eyes have crossed - too many choices!

I personally like the plain old thick leather ones. So many lined cuffs are of inferior quality. I would say if your buying lined you should probably be holding them in the store so you can feel. That is, baring some unanimous brand endorsement here :)

You might consider medical restraints as they are designed for extended wear.

www.medicaltoys.com the padded medical restraints are my personal fav had them for years .No they do not seem to come in pretty  colors  but who really cares  they work ,most have a ring for an attachment point , and lockable .Comfortable yet snug enough to wear for long periods of time .

I really like my cuffs on the plainer side whether I'm using them or not. For extended wear the fur and fleece lined ones get dirty and gunk up real fast without any really effective way to clean them. I like mine garment leather lined or with no lining at all. Padded ones are great for thrashing and pulling against during play but again for everyday use the added bulk bothers me.

I recommend cuffs from these folks

and the cuffs I wear as an accessory for days at a time even though I identify as a top, and the cuffs that my slave used to wear daily are these exact two pairs.

I like leather lined for everyday wear.  You would not need padded for daily wear but you could.  Padded for play is great.  Here is a few good links with great quality leather cuffs.

as much as i like Sir Griffin (he's a very interesting man and it was great to get to meet him, very nice work as well) i am going to have to put my vote in for the suspension cuffs at Achella if you are looking for a set of cuffs for restraint durring play, i have played with them on me, they are fucking fabulous...we did not do suspension, just restraint, but i could not get out of them and my hands did not go numb once (which is a big thing for a diabetic like me) and the bars in them allowed me a place to grip rather than having to find something to pull on the furniture (lol) and it was all around a great experience...

edited to add: there are also regular cuffs if you are not wanting to wear boots when you scene [;)]

I have a set of these. They are of extremely high quality but you need to know a couple things. You bend then around you wrist, if you think about which way the tension will be, you can make them very comfortable. If you bend them wrong they will not be so comfortable.

Another very important thing I don't think is mentioned on the ER site is that yuo should not use the locking posts, nor the lock attached to them for restraint. A very large D ring is there for that purpose. If you use the lock or the post you could break it, I broke one.

Just attach to the D ring and you'll be fine. When I broke that one I was determined to use it anyway, so I just used a nut and bolt. I had to cut through the leather lining and I'll say this, it was not easy. This stuff is tough. Even if it is not waterproof I bet it could withstand water to a certain degree. And now that I have seen what is inside, I'm thinking, actually there are leather sealants, I am pretty sure they would work.

Underneath the coverig the stuff is green. It would probably make a decent restraint on it's own, but when you look at that metal,,,,,,,,,

And I can attest to the fact that they won't leave marks, even if worn overnight. And they are just about as secure as it gets. The firemen would have alot of trouble getting you out.

There was a discount on the whole set, I got them for less than $150. I am pleased weith the purchase, and I would buy them again.

I recommended them to the person who wanted smaller cuffs, reason being is to do that, all you have to do is drill another hole. That and that they are almost as secure as clueso cuffs, and so comfy that you can wear them all night.

Thank you to everyone that gave advice! After looking everything over I finally made the purchase tonight. Non-padded, garment leather lined, and D rings. I liked all of the websites listed, but was torn between Aslan leather and BDSMtoybox (I had purchased other toys there). We ended up going with these -

in black.

Next on the list are those suspension cuffs at Achella. Very, very nice and they would certainly be nice on the wrist (issues with one of them). Have to start with the basics, though, and it would be hard to sleep in the suspension ones :)

Again, thanks for all the help!




OO8OO88O8 -> RE: Cuffs (12/18/2007 10:06:35 PM)

I'd have to say the padded cuffs from Mr S are the best. You can't go wrong with them and they are worth the price.




Quirk -> RE: Cuffs (1/2/2008 4:59:09 PM)

Aaahhh- those suspension cuffs at Achella? WOW! I got those put on me the first time I played on the cross, they're great for that, and they're like jewelry from Harry Winston!
It was an instructional session at a club, and the Doms girl fell out laughing because apparently she said Cartier when they first came... Very very fabulous to wear.

Fur lining gets nasty, it breaks off and irritates, personally I like unpadded lined with leather...

That was me, who was looking for the small cuffs. The problem with drilling another hole is that the overall dimensions of the cuff remain too large -- they tend to be too wide and terribly stiff, not wanting to flex that far.

That said, i  did get a lovely set sized to fit me. They are leather, fit me perfectly with no overlap and are so soft and comfy, i wore them for twelve hours without a mark on my wrists--  i almost forgot i had them on!  beachbum96761 was the wonderful Dom who made them for me and i couldn't be happier with them!
