What Are BDSM Handcuffs

BDSM handcuffs, sometimes called sex handcuffs, are a type of restraint used in BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) play that are typically placed around the wrists or ankles. They are often used to restrict a person's movement and to allow for physical control during BDSM activities but can also be used during sexual exploration and play that isn’t about power exchange.

The Benefits of Using BDSM Cuffs

Wrist restraints can be a thrilling addition to your sexual menu. By using handcuffs, you can deepen your trust and intimacy with a partner through relying on them for both safety and pleasure. The power dynamic of BDSM play is also heightened with the use of handcuffs, allowing one partner to take control while the other surrenders. If you’re new to BDSM, handcuffs can help you get into and stay in your role, and offer great symbolism when it comes to reversing the dynamics and switching up the scene.

Bondage cuffs also increase sensitivity, leading to heightened sensations and greater pleasure. This added element of excitement and adventure allows partners to explore each other's bodies and desires and try new things.

How to Safely Use BDSM Cuffs

Cuffs can be an exhilarating inclusion to your sexual play, but it's important to approach using them with caution and care. Safety should always be your top priority when engaging in BDSM activities.

Effective communication is the foundation of a successful BDSM experience. Chat with your partner about your desires, boundaries and any worries before you start, and make sure you both have a safe word so you can stop the play at any time if needed. Take it slow too. If you're a BDSM beginner, start with simple restraints like just the cuffs before moving on to more complicated gear.

Quality over quantity is also a key factor in safe play. Invest in high-quality cuffs made of sturdy materials. Know your own allergies and check if your playmate has any before you lock ‘em up and throw away the key.

Have regular check-ins. Check the cuffs often to make sure they're secure and that your partner is still enjoying being restrained. Keep enough slack to allow for circulation. Take breaks when you need to.

Lube can also help prevent skin irritation when you're using restraints and cuffs and can help improve the glide of any other toys you might start to explore with. Water-based lubes are a great choice as they are safe to use with most materials and are easy to clean up. On that note, cleanliness is next to godliness. Clean your cuffs regularly prevent the spread of germs and keep them in tip-top shape.

What Are the Different Types of BDSM Cuffs

BDSM handcuffs come made from all sorts of different materials, including metal, leather, plastic and a wide array of fabrics. You can usually find a pair to suit a particular outfit or costume, like satin, fluffy, and pretend police cuffs. If you’re a real enthusiast, there are also plenty of elaborate designs with features like glow in the dark material, locking mechanisms, attachment loops, and matching paddles or blindfolds.
