THE REVIEW: As one review reads, "This is my first pair of cuffs ever, and I was nervous at first that they wouldn't be small enough for my bird wrists, or that they'd break under the pressure of me—nope. My door is still totally intact, the metal chain is unbent, and I am excited to use them again."

These metal handcuffs are not only furry (less chafing is always a great option if you can make it happen), but they're also v affordable. Score!

THE REVIEW: According to one review, "Perfect cuffs. Comfortable and easy to put on, and juuuust difficult enough to get out of that it falls in the zone of secure but safe.

THE REVIEW: "If you are into serious bondage and restraint and want something that will stand the test of time, these are for you!" one tester writes. "The leather on these is thick, heavy, and gorgeous. It's also very supple, so they aren't uncomfortable for extended wear. I got these to put on men's wrists, which they work well on, as they can be adjusted quite wide—but I tested them on my very small wrists, and they can go tight, too."
