Under the bed restraint system - under bed strap kit discontinued by Sportsheets - review by Two Loves

This under the bed restraint system will be great for beginner to intermediate couples looking to take that next step in bondage. If you have tried hand cuffs and loved them, this is a great step to take next. Advanced users looking for the ultimate in helplessness will be a little disappointed in how easy it is to get out of these.

The system seems well made overall, the straps are nylon, the cuffs are a soft velvety feeling material, and the two are attached by a metal clip on a metal ring. The cuffs have attach to your limbs by wrapping around and then Velcroing to themselves. The cuffs are very soft and comfortable to wear and unlike a lot of restraints they will not cut into you at all. The cuffs are also sufficiently big to fit anyone I have ever met, however the bigger your arms, the less Velcro there is to attach, so for the bigger guys the cuffs do get weaker.

The restraint system is fairly easy to install if you have two people. One person holds up one side of the mattress while the other positions the straps then you do the other side the same way. This is not however something you will want to remove and then reinstall every time. What we did, was to simply tuck the cuffs between the mattress and box spring when they are not in use so that no one can see them, but we can still access them quickly. We personally used it on a queen size bed but there are adjustments to make it smaller or larger depending on what you need, although I'm not sure if there is enough adjustment to fit around a king size bed.

The cuffs work very well for what most people will want which is that cheap thrill of being tied down. If, however, you are looking to be restrained with no way to possibly get out, this set is not for you. A strong guy can easily pull hard enough on the cuffs to simply undo the Velcro. I was also able to easily unclip the cuffs from the straps while I was full secured in them. So as the title suggest it simply depends on what your looking for. Overall though we had a lot of fun with them.

No instructions were included to discuss what if any cleaners could be used on the cuffs, so if you get something on them you are on your own to clean it off, my suggestion would be soap and water would work for most spills and should not harm the material. The biggest thing is to make sure the cuffs are always Velcroed together, otherwise the Velcro can get full of lint and loose its strength.
