Handcuffs
Handcuffs are one of the most inviting ways into gentle restraint and power play, because they shift control from one partner to the other in a moment. Our range covers erotic cuffs for couples just discovering bdsm as well as more demanding models for those with experience.
Cuffs can be a discreet bedroom accent or the centrepiece of surrender — from pieces that read almost as jewellery to firm leather wrist restraints.
Types and materials
The range runs from woven cuffs in gold, silver or black metal mesh (Bijoux Désir Métallique) to soft models with a neoprene lining that hold wrists or ankles comfortably even in a long session. There are organza and feather cuffs for a light-touch introduction, wider Maze wrist cuffs, adjustable CalExotics leather cuffs, and practical universal designs.
Which to choose
Beginners should take a soft, padded style with an adjustable fit: it spreads pressure and leaves no marks. Experienced players tend to prefer firm leather or hinged metal, which limits movement more decisively. If you have no idea where to start, organza or feather cuffs are the most forgiving choice and metal mesh the most decorative.
Safe use and care
Check cuffs before each use, adjust the fit so a finger slides between skin and strap, and keep the key or clasp within reach at all times. Never over-tighten metal cuffs past the ratchet, never leave a restrained partner alone, and stop immediately if a hand goes numb. Wipe materials with a damp cloth and store them dry.
Frequently asked questions
- Which handcuffs suit a beginner?
- Soft, padded ones with an adjustable fit — organza, feather or a neoprene lining. They spread pressure and come off in a second.
- Do metal handcuffs leave marks?
- They can, if they are too tight or if a partner pulls hard against them. Choose a hinged model with an adjustable lock and check the fit with a finger.
- Can handcuffs be used on ankles?
- Some can; others are shaped specifically for ankles with a larger circumference. The measurement is listed on each product page.
- How do I clean handcuffs?
- A damp cloth and mild soap; never soak leather. Let them dry after cleaning and oil metal parts lightly now and then.
