Crave ankle restraints - ankle cuffs by Spartacus - review by Mia.The.Wonder.Slut

These cuffs are great for anyone who enjoys basic bondage or restraint, but is tired of skin irritation caused by itchy or tight cuffs that rub skin raw. They are versatile like most standard cuff, in that with a connector, they can be connected to anything else in any way you like. I would recommend these cuffs to anyone, whether they are beginners or experts, because of how efficient and comfortable they are, plus at a really decent price (some nice cuff sets can run up to $100 or more.)

The design on these cuffs is stylish and comfortable. The leather on the exterior is soft and flexible, and the faux fur lining acts as soft, fluffy padding. The fur lining is also vital to keeping you from getting cuff-burn from twisting and tugging. The overlapping flaps at the end (where the two ends of the cuff come together) ensure that the cuffs fit snug and secure. The adjustable straps make it easy to gauge how much pressure is wanted or needed.

I admit, at first I thought that the fur lining would make them tacky or too “frou frou” for use as serious bondage equipment, but on the contrary, it made them more sensual and comfortable. They not only met my expectations, they surpassed them. They are now my favorite cuff set (with the matching ankle cuffs, too.) They work amazingly with any connectors, spreaders, or restraint systems. They are durable, hardy cuffs that also have the luxury of being comfortable.

The cuffs require little to no care or maintenance. The cuffs themselves are small and easy to store, although when you add connectors, spreaders, or restraint systems, storage for everything can be a bit cumbersome. You would want to maybe invest in a trunk or designate a drawer from your dresser to storing everything.

Packaging consists of clear plastic packaging which shows the cuffs and some standard adult toy type labels. If you were giving this as a gift, I would consider getting another box to put it in. I also wouldn't suggest keeping the packing for storage. There are no instructions included with the cuffs, but I doubt there really needs to be any.

These are my favorite cuffs, bar none. For the price, they are unbeatable. They are durable, snug, comfortable, stylish, and versatile: essentially everything cuffs should be. You could buy cheaper ones — but for a great pair that works for you whether you're a beginner or experienced, these are the one true pair of cuffs to rule them all.

During play, my partner and I like to leave one person bound in the bed while the other does other things like take a shower, make dinner, or watch TV. These sessions can go on for a while, and so comfortable cuffs are a must. On top of that, we like having rough sex while restrained, and these are great because again they are comfy and fit well, on top of being durable. I had cheaper cuffs that would cut into my skin and leave really bad irritations, and once I got these, I got rid of them. When I brought them with me to my BDSM group, everyone there was envious of them and asked me where I had gotten them because they absolutely had to have a pair just like them.
