Locking restraints - ankle cuffs by Spartacus - review by Sweet Surrender

Anxious hardly describes how I felt waiting for my new review item to come in. I asked for the Locking (ankle) Restraints, and Master had all kind of devious plans awaiting their arrival.

I had requested the ankle restraints to match my Locking Collar with mini bondage rings, and it is a perfect set. They look the same, lock the same, and have the same style and size of rings. Quite an aesthetic pairing, if we may say so.

When they arrived, the first thing we did was test to see if they fit my ankles. I have larger lower legs that no amount of exercise or working out can shrink; it usually makes it worse. I was pleasantly surprised that they fit me well. They are genuine leather and firm but not abrasive to the skin where the leather does meet flesh. The inner fleece lining was not hot on my skin as I thought it would be either.

Master devised a buckling strap set to hook on the ankle ring, thread through the collar ring, and complete the circuit on the opposing ankle ring.  It worked very well, I was completely at his mercy without having to do much work myself, such as holding the weight of my legs, etc. I was pleasantly surprised as well by the fact that the restraints held the weight well and distributed it evenly without hurting my ankles or neck. The riveted leather straps that hold the rings on held up excellently; I see no signs of wear or abuse.

The only thing I noticed was once the restrains relaxed a bit on my ankles, we did need to cinch it up one slot tighter to prevent the leather from chafing my skin as I thrashed about. It was not a problem at all to tighten them, and they were actually even more comfortable once we did. (We’d held off before unsure how they would feel and/or work.)

I give these beauties a solid five stars; I can’t think of a single thing I would change about them. The only thing that will make the pairing better is to convince Master to get us the matching Locking Wrist Restraints.

Like the locking wrist restraints that partner with this, I love them as much now as I did when I got them. They have only become easier and more comfortable to wear with use. The lining is easy to clean if necessary with a damp cloth and a little combing to fluff it back up. I still recommend for everyone interested in quality BDSM time.
