Fresh buckle collar by PHS International - review by brevado

I've loved the cuffs in this set since the moment I first saw them. The soft pink and blue colors, and the incredible contrast... I mean, who wouldn't love them? Sure, they're not hardcore cuffs, but that's never been what I look for. My other set is a soft, padded, fur lined collection, which should give you a clearer picture that I'm into light S&M, nothing hard.

When the cuffs and buckle collar arrived (I ordered this with the Fresh Buckle wrist cuffs, to make an amazing set), they were packed in typical, cheap plastic. Initially, this made me wonder how great my selection would be... but once outside the packaging I was pleasantly surprised.

They are made of a nice, supple fake leather, and lightly lined on the inside. The lining on the inside feels very soft, and makes wearing the pieces much more comfortable than unlined leather. Overall, they're actually very well designed. The cuffs separate (the inner blue and out pink parts) near the buckle assembly, which make wrapping them and tightening easy. (I have incredibly small wrists and, while the cuffs fit snugly, they did not get tight enough to prevent movement around the wrist, though the collar fit perfectly!). We used the set in conjunction with the adjustable spreader bar and they worked perfectly. The collar also features the same D-clip, for attaching to a leash. In our use, we didn't attach it to anything.

One thing to note about these cuffs and collar is that they're not made for any kind of serious restraint or suspension. They'll hold your lover in place well, but they aren't for hardcore or heavy use. We used the spreader bar suspended from the ceiling and attached the cuffs to it, which made for great fun, but it was low enough to not being supporting any of my weight. The collar is really only decorative (in my opinion) because, while it is made of a nice piece of leather, it's not the size or strength to really do any serious work.

These are hands down the cutest restraints I've ever seen or owned! I just ordered the ankle restrains to match and can't wait for a full set. As mentioned in our review, we used these with the adjustable spreader bar, but today we ordered the under the bed restrain system by Sportsheets to go with this set! Definitely a great set to own!!
