Double locking nickel handcuffs - handcuffs discontinued by Spartacus - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

These double locking cuffs are great for anyone looking for a realistic police or prisoner role-play, or those who are into heavier restraint. This product is not recommended for beginners because there is no quick release lever. Advanced users will love the craftsmanship and quality.

The cuffs must be unlocked with either of the two keys which are provided.

The design allows for accommodation of smaller or larger wrists. Because these cuffs are not padded, they may leave behind some bruising during heavier play, and may not be the most comfortable cuffs, but this can add to the experience for those who are into true BDSM. As long as the cuffs are not put on too tight, or they are not laid on, they shouldn't be too uncomfortable. There have been times where I have completely forgotten I've been wearing them.

Another great feature of these is that the small post on the top of each key can be used to press the button on the side of the cuffs (opposite of where the bracelet goes in) to keep the cuffs from getting any tighter.

These cuffs are beautiful. They are made of nickel, and are very shiny and sturdy. They will hold up to lots of struggling, unlike cheaper cuffs. The teeth on them are pretty deep, so there is virtually no risk of them slipping and coming loose. The weight behind them is a major appeal factor, in my opinion. They feel very much like police-issue cuffs. When locking them, they line up perfectly, so they do not catch on themselves. The chain between them only has a few links, so there isn't much of a gap between them. The chain is also able to rotate in the base of each cuff.

Each pair is also serial numbered, which makes these even more special!

The lack of a safety lever is a plus for those with bottoms who like to struggle. This feature adds to the intimidation factor of the cuffs. The two keys which come with the cuffs are also very sturdy, and will last quite a while.

The cuffs can accommodate a wide variety of wrist sizes, as well as smaller ankles. They are fully adjustable.

My search for the perfect pair of handcuffs is over. These are the best ones out there, in my opinion. They worked beautifully for light BDSM, and with my boyfriend who likes to put of a fight and struggle. He could not find his way out of them, even though he is a self proclaimed 'escape artist'.

During play, we both took a go in them. I found them to feel a lot better than some of the cheaper cuffs out there. The weight of them adds in a touch of realism to the experience. Even with a bit of struggle, I did not have any bruises or marks left behind, so these would be great for those who are looking for discreet bondage that does not leave marks like rope may.

The cuffs are super quick to put on, too. When my lover was putting up a fight and trying to escape me, I managed to get them in in about four seconds. Taking them off was super quick and easy, as well. The key fits into the lock very well and they pop right open.

I even used these to lock my toy tool box, which was a nice touch!
