Shopping for Bondage Handcuffs

·        Consider your BDSM experience level

Different handcuffs are suitable for different BDSM experiences:

Beginner:  if you are just getting started in kinky bondage. Consider basic furry cuffs for a comfortable and safe bondage exploration. Most of these handcuffs come with adjustable straps and are easy to escape from.  Some include tie-down straps in the case you want to tie your partner to the bed or coach for erotic play.

Intermediate:  at this point, your bondage is kinky and more intense. Go for hardcore handcuffs such as metal police cuffs or leather with lockable buckles.  However, note that police cuffs can cause injuries to the wrist in a scenario where struggle or pulling is involved. Make sure to keep close the stare key in the case you need to remove them quickly. Most intermediately handcuffs have a D- ring or O-ring where you can add more hardware such as panic snaps, ropes or use them with an under-the- bed restraints system.

Advanced: you must be looking for handcuffs that deliver total bondage or those that can work with different position such as suspension bondage. Consider wrap-around cuffs with a handle if you plan to use the cuffs to suspend your partner.  Make sure they are strong enough to hold the weight of your partner. You also need to be extra vigilant and monitor their vitals. Suspension bondage is considered among the most risky type of bondage. Suspending someone on their wrist puts pressure to their shoulders and chest cavity. This makes it difficult to breathe, thus possible suffocation.

·        Consider the Size of Your Cuffs

Choose handcuffs that fit your size for bondage effectiveness.  Fitting handcuffs also make it more difficult for your sub to get away, giving you total control. Most people have different sizes of wrist. As a result, most handcuffs are made in various sizes from small, medium and large. Wrap a tape measure around your wrists to ensure you know the right size of handcuffs to buy. You can also buy those with adjustable straps in the case you want a tighter or looser fit from time to time.

·        Know Your Anchor Points

Handcuffs are used for the simple purpose of restraining your partner. Contemplate your type of play and where you want to immobilize your submissive. Do you want to tie them to the bed post? Spread them up on the bed? Hug them by the door? Or maybe pin them to the wall? Most handcuffs are fitted with O-rings to introduce other restraints such as ropes and chains for total bondage. Some have multiple O-rings to attach the cuffs together using clips for a kinky double bondage.

·        Consider the Material

The material you choose will determine how the cuffs feel and the type of games you can play. Most common materials used include leather, neoprene, nylon, silicone, and metals (stainless steel and aluminium). Some handcuffs can mix different materials such as steel and leather to provide strength, aesthetic appeal and comfort. There are handcuffs that are padded or lined with a fluffy lining to provide cushion to the wrist during bondage. Leather handcuffs are durable and effective for different bondage positions. You can also last longer in leather handcuffs because they have a lower risk of cutting blood circulation to the wrists.   However, they require more attention during cleaning to preserve their quality.

Metallic handcuffs are highly durable and easy to clean. However, they can easily tighten excessively   thus, cutting blood circulation to the wrist and fingers. Metal can also cut through the skin causing bruising or tissue damage.  These handcuffs can also be difficult to remove, especially in the case you need to remove them quickly. Nonetheless, metal handcuffs are perfect for short-term bondage games, but not suspension. Do not anchor them to anything to avoid excessive tugging. For cleaning, simply wipe with an anti-bacterial sex toy cleaning solution for Peaches and Screams and store in a dry and sterile place. 

·        Think About the Locking System

If you are going for intermediately and advanced lockable handcuffs, think about the locking systems. Is it effective enough to prevent easy escape? Are the locks of high quality or will they jam during play? Can the metal used be cut in case of emergency?  Contemplate each of these scenarios. Understand the locking system and how to get out of it before using the handcuffs on your partner. If the locks use a key, always keep and know the location of a spare. Poor quality lockable handcuffs can jam making them painfully inescapable. Shop from top branded manufacturers and retailers like Peaches and Screams to make sure on quality.

Safe Ways to Use Handcuffs

Handcuffs are a fun and exciting way to practice bondage. However, they don’t come without risk.

·        Do not secure the handcuffs too tightly. This risks cutting blood circulation which can cause permanent damage to the wrists and fingers.

·        If planning to secure your partner to furniture, use padded handcuffs to provide cushion and reduce friction.

·        Avoid using handcuffs if you have a blood clotting disorder.   

·        Do not use police handcuffs to suspend your partner. They are too tightening and risk cutting through the skin.
