The Ties That Bind

The Wrist Restraints by PHS International are a wonderful addition to any bondage collection. They're extremely well made and should last for many years. Not only do they look very hot on, but they also do a great job of holding someone right where you want them.

Use

The Wrist Restraints by PHS International will work wonderfully for anyone who loves bondage. They are comfortable and non-threatening enough for the beginner just playing. But will also work great for those who are into more advanced serious bondage.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

These cuffs are made of very nice leather, they're very smooth and soft to the touch. They even have that wonderful leather smell. The black section, the part that goes around the wrist, is 9 inches long by 2 1/4 inches wide. Across the top of that is a nice deep colored red leather strip that is 11 inches long and 1 inch wide. It is secured by 5 double rows of rivets that add to the overall look of the cuffs. There is a D-ring about half way down the rows of rivets. And there is a small belt type buckle for securing the restraints. All of the edges are sewn down very well with black thread. Which adds a nice effect on top of the red leather.

A couple of things I want to mention that take away from these is first, if your wrists are larger than 9 inches these will not fit without modification. Meaning you would have to punch additional holes into the red leather. But even then, the black leather won't meet at the bottom. Fortunately for us, my husband's wrists are exactly 9 inches and mine are much smaller. Also there are no hooks to attach the cuffs to each other or to our Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System. So we bought some basic key chain type hooks to add to this.

Performance

These cuffs worked really well for us. I love how hot they look on. And they're super comfortable to wear. I had no problems with any stitching or edges rubbing uncomfortably. I could definitely tell that, had I wanted to, I would not have been able to slip out of these on my own.

These would probably not work as ankle cuffs unless your ankles are smaller than 9 inches.

Also, I know there are people who like to wear leather cuffs out in public as an accessory. These would probably work great for that as well.

Care and Maintenance

The leather that these are made of is the type that would be easy to just wipe them clean with a damp rag. You could probably use a bit of leather cleaner if you wanted to, though it's not really necessary.

Personal comments

It's really hard to have much to say about something as simple as a pair of wrist restraints. But I would definitely recommend these. We both really enjoyed them. Before now, all we've had are the nylon with Velcro type wrist restraint, which work fine. But these added a little something more in the way of being really hot looking. Not to mention the fact that I love leather!
Follow-up commentary
Well I finally went to the store and picked up some double ended clasps to use with these. So we finally got to test them out with the under the bed restraint system and they worked wonderfully! They held me down very well, no matter how much I struggled. And yet they didn't hurt my wrists in any way.

While I do love the ease and convenience of my Sportsheets Velcro cuffs. I think it's worth it from time to time to make the extra effort to use these. They're very sharp looking and I love that wonderful leather smell and feel.

So, while these won't be the first cuffs I grab all the time, they will still get plenty of use.

    Good review!
  • Contributor: Kayla
    I'm a little confused as what you mean by no hooks. From the picture, it looks like they do include two d-rings which is actually pretty standard in BDSM. But it was a good review none-the-less. Smile
