Black rose rosie restraints - restraints discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by sammyjojo

Anybody can use this restraint, especially because it is very gentle and easy to get out of, should you need to. Relatively advanced users might prefer a sturdier restraint because I found these a bit ... weak. They also are rather short, so if you are using them to attach someone to something, you might need two sets.

The good thing is that you can attach them to pretty much anything due to the slipknot sort of way they function. The silky restraint performs the same way as regular cuffs, but without the harsh material.

The material is wonderful — silky and soft, comfortable and easily adjusted. It feels both restrictive and embracing, which is a nice clash of sensory and emotions. The strength is also there, which makes me feel like the product is well-made.

Design-wise, this restraint is long and easily adjustable, made to fit all wrist and ankle sizes, which is a major plus in my book. They are much easier to use than cuffs for this reason, and it would work for every user, not just the average person. The black rose feature in the center wasn't very useful to me, but it did make the product more than just a silk cord, so there's that.

This product works well, in all honesty. I was rather surprised by how easily it adjusted and how strong it was as well. It was nice because the Rosie Restraints don't chafe or cut into your skin. Rather, they feel soft and gentle against your skin even if you pull or struggle. I'm not sure that they would hold up to intense pressure, but for the average use, they are perfect.

This restraint product is very easy to use though it could be just a little longer. It would be more fun if it was long enough to actually wrap it around your partner's neck while your wrists are restrained in it, pulling them close and trapping them just as much as you are trapped. As it is, you feel a little cramped if you try to get too adventurous with your use.

Nothing special, really. Just try to avoid getting it dirty, as I don't think the material would hold up well to washing or sticky play items messing it up - you really want to preserve the silky quality. It folds up like a man's tie, and it looks rather close to that when stored as well.

We've used this with our headboard (stringing it through and attaching to both wrists, though it wasn't very effective that way, and using only one wrist in it while the other attached the the headboard and a pair of cuffs did the same with the opposite wrists. That one hurt a little because the cuffs are not nearly as gentle.) and we've also used the Rose restraints without attaching them to anything. This was fun, but I really wished they were longer. If a bit longer, the restraints could really be used in more creative ways, and they could be a lot more exciting, too!
