Yummy, Gummy and Funny
A terrific gag gift/party favor that actually tastes good. A fun and silly way to give your partner a hint that you like bondage.Published: February 11, 2009
Pros:
Taste like real candy!
Cons:
Not diabetic safe
My partner, Taylor, does a lot of staging and set ups for various companies. I tell you this because the people who make Axe body products came through on a promotional tour when the "Touch" scent came out. It was a big production with dark mazes that people went through and touched things and all sorts of nifty sensory gifts for the attendees.
Well, after breaking down the equipment after the event all the stagehands got bags of some of the leftover swag. (I believe our town was the last on the tour) Taylor came home with a whole bunch of these little velvet bags and soft little tank tops and... these gummy handcuffs. Oodles of them.
One set per box, individually wrapped in plastic inside the box, these gummy toys are really cute!
They're about the size of real handcuffs, closed to fit the average wrist. And they DO fit the wrist. Obviously they can't be used for real restraint but they can actually be worn.
Consistency wise they're truly just like a giant gummy worm. Probably about half an inch thick they're gummy without being sticky. They're not very "detailed" but they are immediately recognizable as handcuffs; two molded cuff shapes with a molded "chain" between them.
The best part? They actually taste good. Really good. Just like regular gummy candy they're sugary sweet and sticky chewy once they're in your mouth. Unlike most edible sexy gag type things and party favors that taste like chemicals and leave a film in your mouth, these are candy quality.
I wouldn't recommend eating them in bulk as Taylor got quite the upset stomach after doing so, but he also sat at his desk and ate five or six pairs in a sitting. Ahem. Not something most of us would do. And those we gave away as gifts caused no similar problems to those who ate only one pair.
The reaction we got giving these as gifts was really good. They're fun and cute and can even be used as a silly gift to entice your partner into discussing bondage in general.
I'm giving these five stars; not because they're the best sex toy ever but because they're really great quality for a gag gift/party favor.
These are made with sugar so they're not good for anyone who may be diabetic or watching their carb intake!

Experience
We actually took a bunch of these to one of our local munches. (The munch is held in a private room at a bar so folks are likely to be seen in collars and cuffs and discussing BDSM type stuff unlike a lot of munches held in public areas that have to require vanilla behavior and dress) They were a huge hit! It was beyond amusing to watch people eating thru their handcuffs all night and using them as a flirtation aid.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
Just wanted to follow up with the thought that, despite these being out of stock/discontinued by EF, they really are a fun purchase if you can find them elsewhere. Hopefully Eden Fantasys will restock so we can all indulge in some gummy fun.

Thank you for viewing Gummy handcuffs review page!
How easy to break are they? I wish they were sour,like the sour gummy worms.
They're gummy. Lol. You can pretty much break them with a tug. Maybe twice or three times as hard to break as a regular gummy worm.
Awesome review, do they come in different flavours?
Ours were all red. The flavor was... red.
Not really cherry but cherry-ish? I've seen them in candy stores (yes, candy stores) online and they were multicolored but it appears Eden only has the red. Could be this manufacturer only makes red.
And thanks!
that's so cute...I'll have to keep that in mind for future adult parties (no not the kind you are thinking of!)....
Might be cheaper to buy these instead of buying a few bags of gummy bears.
Wonder how many calories they have...
Lol. I dunno. I didn't save the boxes.
oh fuck, your partners lack of restraint had me rolling. I can no longer indulge in sugary products, but man there where times when I ate my way to a belly aches on gummy candies, and others. hahaha very funny. good review also.
I"m glad someone else found it funny. I think he got teased for a good long time over it.
Congrats on the review spotlight! I wonder if I would get a tummy ache from eating too many pairs of candy bras in one sitting??? Do these handcuffs taste of anything in particular, like strawberry or cherry? Or is it just generic "gummy candy flavor"?
Thanks for the fun review!
Kinda cherry-ish, mostly just generic gummy red.
And thanks!
I wonder who thought to make these. LOL
Probably the edible underwear folks.
Haha what a bizare idea. Thanks for the review.
