Fetish Fantasy Series furry love cuffs - handcuffs discontinued by Pipedream - review by Jenna.J.Ross

These are a great way to begin to explore bondage. The hand cuffs are very furry and don't look intimidating which makes them ideal for a first timer to use. You can bind you or your partner's hands in multiple positions such as behind one's back, to a head board, or any other location you'd like to dream up. My partner and I have even used them on each others ankles. The handcuffs come with ornate keys, a set of two, but can also easily be released by depressing the spring latch on the side of the cuff. The furry fabric that covers most of the metal on the cuffs provides some level of padding as well as being fashionable. I would not suggest bringing these cuffs into the shower as the fur may not stand up well in the water. Very easy to store but because of the bright fur color you may not want to leave them laying around just anywhere. I personally haven't traveled on an airplane with these but they could raise some questions if you place them in a carry on bag. So if you plan to travel on a plane with these you may wish to check them :)

These cuffs are made of metal and faux fur. The metal is non porous but the faux fur is very absorbent. For this reason be sure to clean the fur often to keep bacteria at bay. While the fur is absorbent they hold their color well and won't transfer to your skin or any other materials they may come in contact with. The fabric is synthetic and completely latex free. The cuffs are adjustable to some degree, they click as you close them and you can pick a looser or tighter fit, which ever pleases you. They fit both me, who has tiny wrists, and my partner who has relatively normal sized wrists. They also fit both my ankles and his ankles though they were a tight squeeze on him. I found that during vigorous play they would chafe and I even ended up with circle shaped bruises. I tried using them loser the 2nd time around which helped with the chafing but not the bruising. These cuffs are built for light play and wont withstand rough twisting or excessive pulling. Again the easy release latch on the side makes these cuffs very non threatening and easy to get out of in case of an emergency or if any awkward situation may arise.

These cuffs worked great when I cuffed my hands together in front of me. I could wiggle and squirm to my hearts desire, but when I attached the cuffs to my headboard I ran into an issue. I tried both wrapping the cuffs around the bars in my headboard and attaching one cuff to a bar. Both worked but gave me bruising and chaffing on my wrists when things got rough. When I first put these cuffs on I tightened them till they fit snugly. This worked great when my hands were cuffed in front of me but when attached to the headboard they caused discomfort. When loosened they were much easier to use attached to the headboard. My partner did not have any problem with the cuffs when attached to the headboard. His ankles, though a tight squeeze, held up well in the cuffs and we were able to play to our hearts' content. I also tested the faux fur's durability and it stood up well to my pulling and tugging. It did not fray or rip apart at the seams. When I exposed the cuffs to different lubricants (Water based and Silicone based transfer from our hands during play) it did not rust or damage the metal or faux fur. These cuffs worked exactly how you would expect them to for light play and are a great introduction to the idea of bondage.

These cuffs are made out of both metal and faux fur which can make cleaning more difficult. The faux fur is machine washable but because they're wrapped around the metal cuffs and don't come off. this doesn't appear to be a viable option. The metal can be boiled or washed on the top rack of the dishwasher to disinfect, but yet again you run into the issue of the two being attached. To clean these cuffs I would suggest you use warm water and anti-bacterial soap and allow them to air dry fully before use. These cuffs can be stored just about anywhere.
