Bondage Boutique Metallic Pink Handcuffs

I was chosen to test and review this product by Lovehoney. Thank you, LH!

As always, this product arrived in plain and discreet packaging within two days.

These are a beautiful set of handcuffs! I love the colour and are different from the standard black or silver metal handcuffs! They are easy enough to put on, easy enough to tighten - only needed an extra bit of a tug due to them being brand new to tighten to my liking. My wrists feel nice and secure in them. They definitely do the trick! They are lined with a soft material for comfort, which I really like. They don't cut into your wrists or hurt. Easy enough to come apart also. A great set of pretty handcuffs! I hope they do a matching set of other bondage products!

We received this item to test in return for an honest review. We always wanted to try a set of handcuffs to spice things up but never really knew where to start and here was our chance.

The Bondage Boutique Holographic Handcuffs arrived in the usual discreet packaging that you would expect form Lovehoney. Upon opening the main packaging the handcuffs are then sealed within clear plastic packaging.

From the first look, they give the appearance of being a luxurious set of handcuffs due to them being an eye-catching colour, patterning of the material and how well they look to have been made instead of being the normal black sets that you normally find.

On first try, they can be difficult to do up but after a few attempts, they are no problem at all. Much easier to do up when detached from each other and with the help of your partner but where would the fun in that be?

Once you have the handcuffs on you notice how soft and comfortable they are to wear rather than having them dig into or any pinching of the skin. Although they may seem quite bulky to some people they are incredibly strong and very well made and give sex appeal. There is also enough movement to enable the wearer to be able to attach or detach the cuffs from one another using the self-closing latch and chain.

I must admit that these handcuffs are 1000 times better than I thought they would be and will definitely be used more and more in the bedroom or wherever else we can get to use them.

I would highly recommend this item to the beginners as well as advanced users as the price they are is well worth it for what you get.

Pretty pale pastel pink... Not exactly the first colour most would think of when thinking about bondage. And yet, here we are, and isn't it a great place to be? That a whole range of bondage gear can be brought out and sold mainstream in this colour is fantastic, because it shows how accessible, and acceptable, a little bit of tying up/restraint can be for many people.

Dewy-eyed moment over, I was quite impressed by these cuffs. They might be pink and shiny, therefore adding an element of playfulness/light-heartedness to proceedings, but by golly they are sturdy and well-made. I am a master of escape-attempts when restrained, and I can tell you I wouldn't even bother trying. Normally my skinny wrists and small paws ease slipping my binding, but I can see that with these, my needs have been catered for: I'm nowhere near the tightest notch with them secured, and escape-proof. Normally, a tight enough binding means skin-pinching, distracting uncomfortableness, but the clever folk at Bondage Boutique have designed them so that the inner layer protects your wrists from the fastening. Simple, yet effective, and when your wrists are straining against your restraints for several minutes, very welcome indeed.

The flip-side to such security is that I often like to at least attempt to restrain myself as a 'I'm ready and waiting' gift to the husband when he isn't expecting it. That someone had the forethought to provide an easily negotiable clip to undo the cuffs from each other is fantastic, as I can just about cuff myself and clip them together. And yes, this does raise the obvious problem that I can just about unclip myself as well, but I would venture this is why the cuffs attach via a big sturdy semicircle of metal. IF I attempt to undo the clip, there is scope to attach more chain/ rope via these. Problem solved.

Aesthetically, I'm more enamoured with these than I thought I would be. I love bondage bits that don't look obvious, and I fully expect that I could get away with wearing one of the cuffs out and about without any raised eyebrows. After all, who expects handcuffs to be pretty, shiny pink?
