Neon and leather restraints - suspension kit by Zado - review by melissa1973

The zado leather restraints only come in one color which can be the only let down, but if you don't care about the color then it doesn't really matter. This is a really great set, it's easy to use, is made extremely well, it's adjustable, and can be used by both sexes. I could just go on about it, I'm so glad that I got this set, it’s everything that I like and none of what I don't. This is a great set for anyone of any level of kink even if you're just curious about it. Now with all that out of my system; Have you ever fantasized about giving your partner more control when it came to play time, but was afraid to? If so this is perfect while even though you are in restraints, you still have damn near full range of motion thanks to the chain. For those who have already given the control to their significant other, this gives another way that they can control movements by grabbing the chain at both ends and doing as he or she wants.

This set is made from leather and metal, it's flexible, softer on the inside that on the outside due to the soft padding to protect your wrists from chafing. The cuffs without the belt measures in at a little over 9 1/2" long and almost 2 1/2" wide. The belt piece is 13", the whole piece together is 13 1/2". All three leather pieces have belt type closings with holes at every one inch.

The chain is 40" in total length and has one hook closure on each end that measures 2" which was included in the total length measurement.

The collar is 15 1/2" long without the belt strap and almost 2 1/2" wide. The belt strap is 20" in length and both pieces together measure 20 1/2".

With all that being said, this is a comfortable set, with the padding on the inside of all three pieces to prevent chaffing. It is in excellent condition, meaning it has no missed up stitching or broken pieces anywhere on it. The three pieces can either be used with or without the chain.

This restraint system is a peach coming with just about everything that one could need as far as cuffs go. All three pieces come with a D ring attached in the middle of them along with a 40" chain. You attach one hook link on one cuff while chasing it through the D ring on the collar and attaching the other hook to the last D ring, it is very simple.

You can use either piece together or separate from the rest, it's perfect you can use the chain on anything that has a D ring. If someone were to have some sort of hook just hanging from a low ceiling or on the headboard of a bed, you can have the chain ignore the ring on the collar giving you some room to attach the chain on the hanging hooks. This is NOT meant for suspension and while the chain is hooked on the ceiling hook, the sub can help support her/his wrists by holding onto the chain. After a short time maybe 5 minutes or so the sub needs to be let loose so the circulation can get back into the arms.

You want to keep these away from water, even though the description page says that leathers water proof the only thing you can really do with it is to wipe it down with a lightly damp cloth. To keep leather looking good you need leather cleaner. It hasn't collected anything since I've had it out of the box, but I did notice that if you have dead skin on your wrists, that it will come off and hold onto the padding that touched your wrists.

The package is just the usual cardboard box, with the model showing the restraints off along with a nipple. It is not discreet at all other than that there is nothing really special it has the same picture on both sides of the box. The box can be used to store the system back in once you're finished with it but it does make it a bother having to get it out and pack it up every time, especially if you use it a lot. It is best to have it in a bedside table where you can grab and stash easily.

This kit can be used as a cohesive unit, or separate and use separately. The chain can be used for a number of ways; it can be used as a belt if you want to go for the skater sheik look or as a dog leash just in case you can't find the other or if you want to match a choke collar. you can even use if on different cuffs like I said before as long as it has a D ring the chain can be added to it.

At first the set was stiff since it was new. I kept all pieces on day and night for a week, except when messing with water, and it softened up enough so that it is now flexible and more comfortable.
