Leopard bling cuffs - handcuffs with buckle discontinued by Ruff doggie styles - review by Rod Martini

These cuffs would be great for any intermediate couple looking to get more serious about S&M. The clasps are easy to open and close, the band is comfortable, and they are built tough. With a $50 retail, they are sort of an investment, but I think a good one. Personally, I would have been really excited if my girl had bought me these to use on her. Maybe something to think about with Valentine's Day fast approaching.

These cuffs will fit just about anyone looking to get tied up! As you can see by the picture, they will fit a wide range of wrist sizes and they could hold down a Gorilla!



The clasp and D-ring appear to be made from chrome plated steel. The leather is backed with a suede material and filled with just a small bit of padding. The healthy width yet minimal padding supplies plenty of comfort while not letting you forget you are a slave to your partner's will.

A minor drawback in the design is the metal shrouds that hold the rhinestones in place. The edges and corners of those squares are sharp. So if you are wearing them and are not careful you could do quite a bit of damage to partner's skin.

The cosmetic design of these cuffs is where "Ruff Doggie Styles" kind of lost me. The rhinestones alone would have been ok. The leopard print would have been enough. But together, they come off a little over the top and gaudy. I got these cuffs in spite of their looks, but they really paid off in the end.

We have used ours on several different occasions and have yet to be disappointed with their performance. They are comfortable, strong, and do exactly what you need them to do. While cuffed and chained down, you can do quite a bit of squirming and the cuffs hold up to a lot of abuse. My favorite feature is the loop in the prong that allows you to place a small pad lock on each cuff. This is the ultimate test of trust and S&M. TIP: If you can get your partner to agree to be locked in a pair of cuffs, for the sake of your sex life, do not do anything they would not allow you to do otherwise. They have put a lot of trust in you, don't blow it.

No care needed! You could wear these cuffs to hell and back. The leather is ultra sturdy and I can tell will last for quite a long time. Just to be safe, I would suggest keeping them out of direct sunlight, and letting them air dry after sweating in them. But, other than that, I can't really think of anything you CAN do to destroy them.

When I received the cuffs from EF they were just wrapped in a small plastic bag, so you know the money you spent went into the stitching and not the packaging. Honestly, I didn't mind not having a fancy printed box to throw away.

It is always boring to write a review about a product that simply works. There just isn't a whole lot to say when a product tells you what it does, and then does it. Sorry for the thin review, and wish I had some juicy info to give you. The cuffs work well.

My girl and I used to use all kinds of stuff to tie each other down. Zip ties, rope, chains, stockings, neckties, pillow cases, you name it! But now that we have the genuine article, we don't have to improvise. And I have to tell you, I don't miss it. Having the cuffs has proven to be a smart and sexy addition to our bag of tricks!
