A Light Play Set

This thigh and wrist cuff set is an intriguing idea that will work better for some. The wrist cuffs are neoprene and comfortable. The thigh cuffs are designed to not encircle your thighs unless they are very small, and may not stay in place as desired.

Use

The thigh and wrist cuff set is a good idea, although less than perfectly executed. Since my husband likes to restrain my arms down by my sides on occasion, I thought these would be a fun way to keep my arms in place and allow him to use his hands for other things.

For light play these are a good choice, and the wrist cuffs stay attached to the thigh cuffs. The connections can also be used to secure the wrist cuffs to themselves, leashes, or other items.

Depending on your shape, the thigh cuffs may not stay in place well unless they are either cinched very tight, which can be uncomfortable, or you don't move around a lot.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

This set is made of neoprene, and contains 1 pair of wrist cuffs and one pair of thigh cuffs.

The wrist cuffs are each 16 1/2" long (11” of which is the cuff), and are 1 1/2" wide. The Sportsheets label is on the front. Velcro runs along 1/2 of the length for an adjustable fit, and the black stitching seems secure. If you have small wrists, the cuff will overlap underneath (although it is not bulky), and the Velcro strap will be much too long. The Velcro can be cut for a more asthetic look. Each cuff has a D-ring attached to it with a swivel snap hook that can be used to either link the wrist cuffs together or attach them to the thigh cuffs.

The thigh cuffs have a 15 1/2” cuff part, with a sliding band to adjust them out to 30”, although when they are open their maximum distance the cinch is difficult to work and won't do much to tighten them. The packaging says they will fit 15” to 25” thighs. By design, the cuffs don’t completely encircle the thigh unless your thighs are very small. I would have preferred a cuff that actually went the entire distance around, which might have kept them from slipping so much for me.

The keychain hooks on the wrist cuffs attach to the rings on the thigh cuffs. The attachment works best with the ring on the outer thigh to secure the wrists down by the body.

Performance

These didn’t work as well as I thought they would.

The wrist cuffs were fine. They were comfortable to wear, and didn't trap a lot of sweat on my wrists. They were easy to put on and remove, and didn't twist out of shape.

The thigh cuffs were a problem for us. They kept slipping down my legs. With the wrist cuffs attached to them, they didn't slide down too far, but they moved around too much for my liking. I tried overtightening them, which helped, but then they were quite uncomfortable. If I stayed in one position and didn’t move around, they stayed in place better, but they still had a tendency to slip for me.

Once we got lube on them and it got underneath, keeping them in place was no longer an option.

Care and Maintenance

Since the set is made of neoprene, it’s resistant to flexing and twisting of the material, and holds its shape well. The material is non-porous, and can be cleaned with soap or a damp cloth, or run under water if necessary. Both silicone and water-based lubricants can come in contact with the cuffs without adverse effects on the material.

The cuffs can be stored flat, or gently rolled.

Packaging

The cuff set is packaged in a large easy-to-open clamshell plastic case. A picture of porn star Katie Morgan appears on the back, in which she is modeling the cuffs.

Personal comments

I really like the concept of this set. The wrist cuffs are comfortable and lightweight, but the thigh cuffs didn't do it for me. I don’t mind the neoprene, but a thigh cuff that fully encircled the thigh would be preferable, or at least gripped better so it didn't slide so much.

Experience

I enjoy our bondage play when we use cuffs, and my husband often likes to restrain my hands. Being in such a submissive position is erotic to us both. I thought this would be a good way to keep my arms restrained in a position other than in front or behind me, and free up his hands so they could do other things. With the Velcro, the cuffs were easy to put on by myself. I did end up trimming the Velcro so it didn’t overhang. The thigh cuffs were easy to slip on and tighten, but when I moved I had trouble with them slipping down. I had to over tighten them to get them to stay put, and even then they slipped. I also didn’t care for the gap so much where just the band lay across my thigh.

My husband did like the look of these, and he also liked being able to clip my wrists to my thighs. This worked better when I didn’t move around a lot: every time I moved much the thigh cuffs would slip down a bit or get out of place. While it made for an entertaining evening, it would have been better if these functioned more like I expected.
Follow-up commentary
We pull this set out periodically. I keep thinking I'll get the thigh cuffs to work, and each time we have the same slippage problem. It's really too bad, because I do like the idea. The only way these come close to staying in place is if I'm stationary, but that doesn't seem to happen often.

The wrist cuffs are fine, and have held up well.

    Despite how they thigh restraints slip, I still think I'd spend the money to try these out myself. Thanks for the honest and helpful review.

    The slipping is no good... I'd have to find someone like me with fat thighs to use them on? Thanks for the review.

    Thanks for the review! I have thick thighs as well so it's good to know about the slippage.
