Sex and Mischief adjustable handcuffs by Sportsheets - review by Loriandhubby

Handcuffs are a staple in most light bondage situations. Unfortunately, finding the right handcuffs can prove challenging. Although there are many options available for the beginner, most often look very intimidating or uncomfortable. With the addition of the Adjustable Handcuffs to SportSheets Sex and Mischief line, binding your lover’s wrists just became simple, comfortable, and non- intimidating.

Velcro enclosures allow you to find that perfect fit simply and easily. Although the cuffs are held with Velcro, they are firm and secure keeping those hands right where you want them. With the fully adjustable strap, no longer are you limited to keeping your lovers hands behind the back or over their head. Now they can enjoy the feeling of being bound with the freedom to use their hands.

Not only are these cuffs made to facilitate easy exploration of bondage play, they are also comfortable and sexy. With no metal fasteners the plush material gives these cuffs a classy delicate look. But don’t let the looks fool you, this kit is durable and holds up to your submissive pulling in ecstasy. Utilizing soft material, this kit is not intimidating to and lets you and your partner relax in delight as you explore new ways to play.

With Sex & Mischief bondage is no longer a dirty word. On the contrary, now it is sexy, classy, and easy.

The SportSheets Adjustable Handcuffs are designed with 2 cuffs tethered together by one long nylon strap and one short nylon strap which are connected with an easy on/off plastic snap enclosure. They are well made with no defects in the design or craftsmanship.

The ability to keep your partners hands bound securely is the always the first area of concern when purchasing handcuffs. These cuffs hold up surprisingly strong when subjected to moderate tugging against the Velcro enclosures. I believe, this is due to the design utilizing the straps with Velcro attached coming off of the tether and encompassing the entire cuff. This design allows the weight to be distributed throughout the material rather than on the Velcro alone. Utilizing this style, the cuffs have a comfortable and durable feel.

In addition, the cuffs are made from polyester velboa fabric which is soft and plush. It feels subtle against your skin and prevents the tell tale signs of bondage via chaffing or red marks. Therefore, with these cuffs, your dirty little secrets will always be safe. *wink, wink*


Adjustable Handcuffs Measurements:

Strap/Tether – 10 ½ inches; long side and 1 inch; short side.
Cuffs – 9 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Velcro – 3 ½ inches top piece and 4 ½ inches bottom piece.
Plastic Snap Enclosure – 2 inches male and 1 ¾ inches female. 2 ½ inches total length when closed. 1 ¼ inches wide.

My wrist size for comparison: 6 2/8 inches

They are constructed from:

Polypropylene webbing– spun like nylon into straps. Although this is similar to nylon straps, it does not have the abrasion resistance as nylon. Therefore, polypropylene webbing is not recommended for weight bearing usage.

Velcro – Enclosures for the cuffs.

Polyester binding - added to the cuffs’ edges to give them added softness.

Polyester Velboa Fabric cuffs – often used to produce baby blankets, this a soft and plush feeling fabric.

ABS plastic hardware - strap snap enclosure which is heavy duty plastic which holds up well to tugging and pulling.

Overall, these handcuffs performed like a champ.

Although these cuffs are made with Velcro enclosures rather than metal hardware, they are durable. I was able to tug, pull, and squirm without my wrists breaking free. In addition, the fabric feels nice and soft while holding my wrists firmly bound.

The adjustable straps are a nice feature of these cuffs. With this design Hubby is able to decide just how much wiggle room I can have. Not to mention, now that we are not limited by bed post tethers or hands behind the back, Hubby’s imagination can run wild with the possible uses for these cuff.

During out time using these handcuffs we have come up with the following uses for them…

--Hands in front so your partner can use them to please you.
--Tether your partners’ hands behind your back.
--Use them to bind your partner’s hands behind their own back more comfortably.
--Use the tether as a wrist leash to lead your partner.
--Weave the strap through the back of a chair, such as a spindle back chair.
--Bind yourself to your partner, with each of you wearing one cuff.
--Secure a teather through the small loop at the end of the long strap.

The uses are only as limited as your imagination.

Although this kit is well made and sturdy, this kit is not safe to suspension. Remember always ”Play Safe” and only use items as intended.

Caring for your Adjustable Handcuffs is easy and simple. To spot clean them, you can use a damp cloth. Or if you prefer, they can also be tossed in the washer and dried on low heat. Also, they can be hand washed with mild soap, warm water, and then hung to dry.

I suggest that if you choose to wash these cuffs in the washer, place them in a pillow case or lingerie bag for added protection against lint gathering on the Velcro.

Storage of your handcuffs is also simple. They can be tossed in your toy box or drawer, stored in a zip lock bag, or even hung on your head board. No matter how you choose to store your handcuffs they are not discreet and others will most likely know what they are intended for. Those with children who enjoy peaking through mom and dad's drawers may want to consider storing them in such a way that the kiddos won’t find them.

Bondage for us is a sensual act that we don’t want to put a lot of thought into. We prefer it to use items that we can pop on when the mood hits. With the Sex & Mischief line, we have found the perfect times for out play time. Please to say, we have been having a blast experimenting with the kits.

When we tried out our new handcuffs, it was a spontaneous moment. I had been rearranging our toy-chest to make room for your newest additions. Consequently, a few things were left out on our bed. Having a rare day, we had the house to ourselves when Hubby came into the room with a smile and winked. Being frisky during the day time is not the norm for us, making this encounter especially exciting. Fortunately, knowing everyone would be gone for a few hours, we could take our time and enjoy the moment.

Taking my time to tease Hubby visually, I was pleasing myself with a toy and not letting him participate or touch himself. Out of nowhere, the next thing I knew my hand was cuffed and the other cuff was around his wrist. “If I can’t touch myself you can’t touch yourself”, he said with a smile on his face. “Maybe we can work something out.” I replied. We found ourselves in a tug of war with each other. Then finding the right rhythm we masturbated together in unison. Erotically Hubby controlled me, how hard and deep I could use my dildo were now in his control.

After a while, Hubby grabbed the “My Miracle Massager” as he led me to the dining room and sat me down in a chair. Wrapping my hands around the back of the hard wooden chair, Hubby cuffed my wrists. Then he plugged in the wand and went to work on my clit. I was bound securely. Every time I tried to squirm away in ecstasy, Hubby would turn up the speed. Ordinarily, an encounter like this could only last a short time. Since my joints are getting old, holding my arms behind my back for long periods of time becomes painful and takes away from the moment. Surprisingly, this was not one of those times. With the adjustable straps, Hubby was able to leave enough slack that allowed my arms to rested comfortably behind my back.

We were in the kitchen for what seemed like an endless amount of time. As Hubby brought me to ecstasy over and over as my body twitched in delight. It was an amazing experience for both of us.
