Bondage cuffs are restraints designed for the practice of consensual sexual bondage. They are wide wrist and ankle restraints generally made of leather, often padded with soft leather or fake fur. They are secured around the wrist or ankle, and the cuff is then attached to another cuff or other object.
They are often equipped with D-ring attachments or buckles to fit nylon webbing restraints.
They are typically used as a set of four to attach each wrist cuff (directly or indirectly) to the corresponding ankle cuff, thus putting the wearer in a sexually vulnerable position. Alternatively, a pair of ankle cuffs can be used together with thigh-width straps to create a frogtie.
They can also be used in conjunction with leg spreaders.
Bondage cuffs should not be confused with handcuffs. It should be noted that attempting to use handcuffs, even with soft coverings, for bondage can lead to severe and permanent damage of nerves, blood vessels, and body extremities. Unlike bondage cuffs, the primary design goals of handcuffs are not comfort and safety, but immobilization and prevention of escape.
Note: as with all bondage activities, care must be taken. All the dangers associated with physical restraint apply to the use of bondage cuffs. No-one should ever be left alone when restrained. Bondage cuffs are not suitable for suspension bondage. You are responsible for your own and your partner's health. See also safe, sane, and consensual.
