Despina Rose's review of Leatherbeaten Dragon Silk Ankle Restraints

Sensual and simply divine dragon silk ankle restraints

I had been eyeing these beautiful cuffs up for months, but simply couldn't justify spending almost £50 on ankle cuffs. However, when these were on the sale at just £22, I immediately grabbed them.

My OH loves dragons, especially oriental ones, so these cuffs were perfect. Originally I wanted to get them in red and black, but they had sold out, so I chose the purple ones. I am actually really glad they had sold out as the purple ones are lush!

The packaging was very simple, a plastic bag with a Leatherbeaten tag, that was all. I liked that it was cringe-free and easy to throw and not copious amounts, but for £50 worth of cuffs, I was expecting luxurious packaging.

The cuffs themselves are truly beautiful and exquisite, better than the rest of my cuffs put together! The cuffs are made from a thick leather backing the cuffs, you can tell just by looking at them the quality, the backing is so thick and padded. The leather feels soft and supple, being a big fan of the aroma of leather, I am pleased to say these smell divine.

The purple dragon design on the front is made from silk and feels luxurious. The purple dragon design is not quite as bright as the product photos, I prefer this as it isn't as bright, it is still lush.

Across the dragon design is a strip of leather that holds the d-clip in place. As soft and supple as the leather is, it covers a lot of the dragon silk design, which is a shame as it really is a gorgeous design. Metal rivets attach the padded leather back, dragon silk design and the leather strip together, they feel very tough and well made.

The cuffs are adjustable from 7 inches to 13.5 inches, they should fit most people unless you have exceptionally small or larger ankles. Once on, they feel very comfortable, they don't rub or chafe your skin, even when worn for extended periods. Depending on how these cuffs are secured as to how effective and inescapable they are. When they are comfortably tight around your ankles and attached to a post, then you can't escape from them if you have wrist restraints as well.

Overall, exceptionally beautiful ankles cuffs that are well made from luxurious materials. They are very comfortable, easy to use and effective. Now the wrist cuffs are at the same price, I have ordered those as well, I am sure they will be just as lush as the ankle ones. Although these ankle cuffs are lush, I wouldn't pay £50 for them, they are certainly worth £20 - £35. They are now my new favourite cuffs and are better than all the ones I have put together! Grab them when you have the chance.
