Sportcuffs by Sportsheets - review by anyankaleigh

So I will be honest and say that I bought these cuffs because I couldn't afford the more expensive leather cuffs I'd had my eye on for ages. Maybe I was bound to be disappointed, since this product wasn't what I really wanted, and I bought it anyway. I probably should have waited until I had saved up for the leather (and indeed, when I finally went ahead and bought them, they were amazing).

These... aren't bad. I'd say they're good for beginners. One thing I do really like is that they can be used either around your wrists or your ankles. However, you can only use these cuffs as a two-point tie. There's no way to secure them to something else as well- meaning I can tie my wrists together, for example, but I can't then tie them to the bedpost. For me, this limited the use I got out of them. Also, the connecting bit is too long for most things I want to use it for. It doesn't really do much to hold you in place-- it's completely flimsy, so you can still close your legs without even any sense that they're tied up. The only thing it's really effective for is if you're doing a cross-body tie (i.e. wrist-ankle), then it's short enough that it really is holding you somewhere. Otherwise, it's sort of just "here, let me tie your legs in this totally natural position and also you have about a foot's range of motion in any direction".

They are really, really easy to use. They're also adjustable enough that both my partner and I can be tied up by them, which is nice because we're quite different-sized. They go on easy, adjusting them is easy, taking them off is easy. The only problem is they don't really... do all that much. If you're into just the feel of something around your wrists or ankles, this will do the trick and for a nice cost, but they don't really hold you in place all that well.

They're very comfortable. The material (some kind of fabric) isn't particularly luxurious, and the velcro is very noisy and makes a profoundly unsexy sound, but once they're on I feel like I could wear them forever. My favorite thing about these cuffs is that they're comfy enough that I can wear them during aftercare and have, sometimes for a couple hours. They're good cozy cuffs, but not great for hard bondage.
