The 13 Best Handcuffs for Sex, Bondage and Fun
How Were these Handcuffs for Sex Selected and Tested
When choosing and testing these handcuffs for sex, I wasn’t satisfied with getting just one person’s opinion, because I know everyone is different when it comes to finding the perfect pair of cuffs. Instead, I combined the opinions of our sex toy expert team with all of the customer reviews I could get my hands on to understand the quality and performance of certain products. When possible, I got our team of sex toy testers, to have a go at some of the products and write in depth reviews of their experience.
I’ve also tried to include all of the information you need to figure out if these sexual handcuffs are going to fulfil your needs and help bring your fantasies to life. So as well as looking rating the quality, design, and ease of use, I also made sure to consider what type of restraint play and which level of bondage experience they are best suited too!
Different Types of Handcuffs
Not sure which sexy handcuffs are the ones for you? Here are the different types and what they are good for!
- Silicone handcuffs — These handcuffs are two silicone loops that are joined in the middle and stretch over your wrists. They are easy to remove yourself, making them perfect for beginners.
- Silk handcuffs — These soft handcuffs slip over your wrist and can be used to tie your partner to the bed, a chair or other restraint points.
- Velcro handcuffs — Velcro fastening cuffs makes it easy to get exactly the right fit, and they are easy to get on and off. Velcro restraints are also easy to escape so are best for beginners or light bondage.
- Metal handcuffs — These are more like the traditional police cuffs and tend to have a lock mechanism and quick release lever. They are more uncomfortable than fabric or rope cuffs as the metal can dig in to your wrists.
- Fuzzy Handcuffs — These are the same as metal cuffs with the addition of a faux fur sleeve that wraps around the cuff.
- Buckle Fastening Handcuffs — Cuffs with buckles are better suited to more experienced bondage players as they are much more difficult to get out of.
- Rope — Rope cuffs can be pre-made or you can make your own using bondage rope.
