Not so silky, not so sensual

If you're just going for the look of a sensual bondage slave, then these might be for you. For real performance as bondage handcuffs, they probably won't make the cut. They look silky, but are easy to get out of.

Use

These silky handcuffs are very simple. They are best used to adjust positions (like hold ankles up or something), for light bondage, or just to look like you're handcuffed. The delicate fabric would be best for anyone looking for some very light bondage, or beginners in the bondage arena. They are also one size fits all, as the hand cuff part is simply slipping one end through the provided slit at the end of the tie.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

Unfortunately, I was expecting something much silkier. These polyester handcuffs are too cheap for my tastes. Not only is the material really cheap, and the velvet design of the logo tacky, they're also not designed well at all. They are around two inches wide and twenty-eight inches long, which isn't very much to work with. If your bed headboard has rails, it would be possible to tie them to those, but otherwise, it's just extra fabric hanging off of your wrists.

Performance

Personally, these are just too much for looks, and not for performance to be worth it. They look cute, and could be great in a bondage-themed photo shoot, but as handcuffs? Uh uh. They're just strips of cloth; they do not work well as actual handcuffs. However, if you're into role play, and want to just pretend you're in a bondage scene, then these might be the best thing to get.

Care and Maintenance

On the box the ribbons come in are the washing instructions. They are to be hand washed, not ironed, not bleached, and not put in the drier. I think hanging them or draping them over a hanger would be the best way to dry them. Storage is pretty easy for these handcuffs. They can be neatly folded and tucked back into the box, or stored just about anywhere. Traveling with these should be a cinch, as they could go into a back pocket, or be tucked in a suitcase just about anywhere.

Packaging

The packaging is very tiny. The ribbons come folded up in a little paper box. An upside to the tiny paper packaging is that I believe the box is recyclable. It would make for a pretty discreet stocking-stuffer-type gift.
Follow-up commentary
Well, these strips of fabric are retired already. They were just too cheap. I knew they weren't going to be super heavy duty cuffs, but I was pretty disappointed by them.
