Cuffs & Restraints

Cuffs, wrist and ankle restraints, ropes and bed ties are used to limit movement during BDSM play. They can hold the hands, ankles or body in place, creating a feeling of control, vulnerability and closeness between partners.

When choosing, look at size, adjustability and material. Metal feels firmer and more restrictive, while PU leather, silicone and textile options can feel softer against the skin. Brands such as Taboom, Ouch! and Bad Kitty offer different styles and levels of intensity.

Agree limits and a safe word before you begin. Never leave a restrained partner alone, and keep a key, safety scissors or another quick-release option within reach. Check comfort and circulation regularly.
