Deluxe door jam cuffs by Sportsheets - review by Midnightsun327

This set of cuffs is made for anyone to use, of any experience level. It is great for even the most experienced bondage lovers to secure a partner or a beginner who may just want to add a little spice to their sex life! The design lends itself to being used on the go since it requires no installation and travels easily.

I absolutely LOVE these cuffs! As a Gorean slave, cuffs are a very big part of my sexuality. The overall design of this set has proven to be very pleasing. The cuffs are very well made. We have been using them for six months and they show no sign of ripping, strain, or breaking. We have actually had one door give way before the cuffs did! I have no doubts that I will be saying the same thing in a follow-up review in a few months!

The cuffs themselves are lined with a faux fur that feels closer to velvet, which prevents chafing when the cuffs are worn. There is no smell to the cuff set. The nylon, neoprene and velcro closures ensure a snug fit for the smallest wrist to the thickest ankle. The faux fur strip that makes up the majority of the cuff is 10" long and 2" wide with an additional 5" long and 1" wide Velcro strip that adds to the total length of each cuff, making each one 15" long!

Each cuff is attached to its own over the door strap by a D-ring. When expanded to its full length, the cuff hangs 6 1/2" from the sliding length adjuster to the D ring, and 6" from the slider to the stopper that holds it in place over the door. The stopper is a clear, hollow tube that is 4 1/2" long and 2 1/2" around, creating a stopper that will prevent damage to doors and door jams. When taking the average door width of 2" into account, this provides 10" room between the top or bottom of the door and the cuff. The Velcro closures of the cuffs allow the fit to be easily adjusted and allow for easy removal if needed. The cuffs are large enough to fit comfortably around the wrist or ankle of most people, with the cuff able to close firmly around an ankle or wrist up to 14" around (leaving 1" for the Velcro to close) or as small as 5" around, or about the size of three adult fingers.

This set worked like a dream! The set was able to secure me in place for over an hour at a time! When we purchased the set, we were looking for an occasional cuff set to use instead of our normal leather cuffs with the added bonus of being easy to travel with, and providing more options for places to cuff me. When we got the cuffs and opened the package, a brainstorm hit! We discovered that, not only could they be used to secure me in position while standing, by putting two over one door and two over the other, my Husband can secure two girls at once.

With a little creative thinking, the cuffs can be placed at different points around the door to secure a person in different positions, such as a groveling with the wrists cuffed to the bottom of the door.

This is a low-maintenance set. When a spot does happen to get onto the cuffs, spot cleaning them with hot water and a mild detergent, gently scrubbing with a soft bristled tooth brush (which we keep with the toy cleaners and play room clean up supplies to help clean up our toys and tools), and dabbing the spot with a damp cloth and letting it air dry makes them easy to clean.

We keep ours over the door to our playroom at all times. They are easy to conceal when company comes over. When the door is closed, the only part of this set that can be seen from the side without the actual cuffs would be the clear tube that hangs over the door to anchor them in place. They also fit into even the smallest spot in a drawer or even coat pocket for quickly concealing them from prying eyes. Another way to conceal them is to throw a towel over the door as if to dry, covering the cuffs with the towel.

When traveling with the set, just throw them in your suitcase and you are ready to go! No installation process, so they are very travel friendly and will add the element of bondage easily to any hotel or guest bedroom when traveling, all you need is a door that closes securely, just slip the strap for the ankle cuffs under the door and the wrist cuffs' straps over the door before closing it tightly, instant standing spread eagle restraints!

The only caution is that they will not work if your doors are not flush with the top or bottom of the doorway.

The cuff set comes in a clear package with a paper insert without instructions, just pictures of it being used. Since the plastic of the packaging leaves room for the set to shift, the paper insert can fold and crumple, so the packaging can vary between discreet and not discreet depending on the shifting that has occurred. The cuff set is not in plastic bags and the packaging is very minimal. It is not good for re-purposing because when you open it, the plastic becomes sharp on the cut edges.

As people who have incorporated many of the submission principles of the Gor Saga into our lives, cuffs are a huge part of our way of life. As such, we have quite a few different sets and styles of cuffs. These cuffs are some of the most comfortable cuffs we have used. The Velcro closure and the flexibility of the faux fur creates a snug fit that does not shift on the wrist or ankle, making it more comfortable and less likely to chafe. These are actually my favorite cuffs, outside of my leather sleeping cuffs.

The construction of these cuffs do not lend themselves to suspension bondage. The two main factors against suspension bondage are the Velcro closures and the fact that they rely on a closed door to secure them. The Velcro is not made to hold up the weight of a human on its own.

These cuffs are designed to hold the spot where the cuffs are worn within a few inches of the door surface when adjusted properly. They do not tug at your wrists or ankles while wearing them at all. My Husband has put the cuffs around my wrists in the past as a precaution while using a variety of floggers to prevent me from collapsing and hurting myself when going to sub space.
