Sex toy review: Faux-Fur Lined Leather Cuffs from Luxurious Bliss

Is it right to call these a “toy”? It almost doesn’t feel right. They’re more like…jewelry. Decoration. Or, as my one wearing them once put it, a long-distance hug.

Yes, I might get fluffy in this review–even fluffier than the plush faux-fur lining of these gorgeous and long-wearing pieces, just one of the quality leather offerings from LuxuriousBliss on Etsy. To be honest, the lining is what attracted me to them first. It sounded so sensual and, well, luxurious. And even though I’m not the one who wears them, I like luxury.

These come in a range of colors–when I said this to my partner, who’s red-green colorblind, they said, “I believe you.” The colors are pretty heavily red, in that the selection includes red, pink, and purple. I chose purple so that they can enjoy them as blue.

The padding makes them a little bulkier than other leather cuffs I’ve seen. That and the fact that the colorful leather strip is rather long and can dangle if they’re on tight might make wearing them while out and about a bit inconvenient–at least on the wrist. My submissive wears on them on their ankles, where they’re no problem (and where they’re discreetly hidden by socks and pants cuffs). And for playtime, the bulk and strap length aren’t a problem; if the latter got to be, I suppose the excess leather could be trimmed off.

 Speaking of playtime, there’s also a D-ring on each cuff, for your convenience and pleasure :).

Not only is the strip of color attractive, I also find it makes the cuffs easier to put on as a somewhat newbie IRL dom–I know which strap to pull on and wrap over the rest of the cuff. So an A+ choice for bondage beginners.

I’ll close out this review with some words from my primary wearer of the cuffs themself: “Comfortable enough for me to wear 24/7 and forget I’m wearing them, were I not enjoying the experience so much.”

Finally, it’s key to note that these are as sturdy as they’re comfortable: 24/7 usage doesn’t seem to be making a dent in them (er, whatever the leather equivalent of a dent would be). Which is good, because we intend to keep using them for a long, long time.

All in all, an excellent choice for when you want to dominate your lover gently, thoroughly, and endlessly.
