How to Select BDSM Cuffs?
To skip the wandering and protect yourself from buying the wrong set of bondage cuffs, we prepared the following guide where we cover the main features you need to know when selecting BDSM wrist and ankle cuffs:
- Material – the bondage cuffs are usually made from metal, leather, or vegan leather. You may even think about police handcuffs, but these are not the only type of bondage cuffs you can find. They can be made with other combinations, like metal and fur, silk, lace, and even silicone. The model you choose will determine how you can use it and how it will look against your submissive’s skin.
- Size – most wrist and ankle cuffs are adjustable in size, and these can fit a specific size range. Thus, you still need to be diligent, measure your sub’s wrists and ankles, and get a cuff set that will fit in size. You don’t want the cuffs to be overly tight, as they can be harmful, but you don’t want to get a set of cuffs that will slip from the hands and ankles, especially if the wearer has very thin wrists and ankles.
- Aesthetics – the aesthetics of the bondage cuffs you get play a vital role in the visual appeal. We are talking about getting a set of ankle or wrist cuffs that match your favorite BDSM outfit. If you are after a more romantic look, then you can consider cuffs made from satin or lace, or you may want to explore a hardcore fetish and enjoy leather cuffs.
- Attachment Points – the bondage cuffs can have one or several attachment points that you can use to restrain your partner. One example that comes to mind is using hand and ankle cuffs to bind your submissive and even attach a length of bondage chain or a nylon strap to add another dimension to your playtime.
- Special Features – When we talk about special features in bondage cuffs, we are talking about features like locking mechanisms, which you can lock with a padlock and hold the key. There are bondage cuffs with multiple attachment points that allow you to suspend your submissive, and even models designed for aquatic play so you can live out that pool fantasy you’ve been thinking about.

Can beginners use bondage cuffs?
Anyone can use bondage cuffs, as these are unisex models that fit everyone. You can bind a male partner or a female partner, but you need to get the right size cuffs.

Otherwise, there is nothing stopping beginners from using BDSM hand and ankle cuffs.
