Plushy gear wrist cuffs - velcro handcuffs discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Velocifero

When you're ready to take a step up from dollar store kid handcuffs, look no further. Cheap, conventional metal handcuffs can be painful, and not in a sexy way. If they are not double-locking, you run the risk of accidentally tightening them which would cut circulation and even cause nerve damage. It's time to take a step up!

These plush wrist cuffs are a perfect cut above the average silver pair and will leave you or your submissive bound without worry of accidental harm, freeing you to focus on the scene at hand. If you're into heavier BDSM, including suspension, you will want to find a heavier, sturdier pair but for the light to average user these will withstand a good deal of tugging.

Newbies to the bondage arena will find these comfortable, easy to use, and relatively friendly. If you're ready to upgrade from scarves and ties, then these are a great step up from what you're used to.

The material is light without being cheap, and soft without compromising its holding power. I was very impressed to see that each cuff comes with a separate metal clip as well as an extra D-ring, so your options for attachment and restraint are open to variation; and who doesn't love options?

The cuffs use a Velcro closure; but before you express your doubts, I received a healthy beating with these on (the sacrifices I make for reviews!) and they withstood even the most intense pulling with grace and ease. This also means that wrists of many sizes can be accommodated and minute adjustments can be made more easily without worrying about punching additional holes, as you might with cuffs that buckle. You or your sub will be snugly bound!

An added bonus is that because it is a plush material, they will suit vegan couples looking to venture away from animal products without breaking the bank.

These cuffs were a major upgrade from the cheap metal handcuffs I previously employed. Instead of worrying about accidental tightening or having to stop to adjust because my hands were going numb, I was able to better focus on the pain that was purposely inflicted rather than the accidental. That, to me, is worth every single penny.

Budding rope enthusiasts might find some creative usage for the clip/D-ring duo on each cuff, and if you have thinner ankles, these will also pull a double duty and act as ankle cuffs, as well!
