These cuffs have a PERFECT balance of soft and strong. They're supple enough that you (or at least I) can pull on them for hours without feeling pinched or bruised. The edges are nicely rounded and finished, making them feel soft even when I twist and writhe to get out of them.

but don't be fooled by their softness
they're SERIOUSLY strong

I can wriggle out of most cuffs, but I couldn't get out of these. They hold me extremely securely. Comfortable, sure... but undoubtedly bound.

it's a very good way to be

also... they smell AMAZING
I mean, of course they would. They're leather... but not all leather is the same. These smell absolutely fantastic. Very smooth, almost creamy. It puts me into subspace just about as fast as the smell of nice hemp rope does.

I've been using these regularly (sometimes several times a day) for about 8 months and they haven't shown any signs of wear. These cuffs look like they're going to last me a nice long time.
I can't say the same for some other leather cuffs I bought somewhere else that were also made by hand. Just goes to show that not all craftsmanship is the same. They both looked about the same online, but these are FAR superior.

SO worth the wait! (Posted on 10/15/10)
