Frisky “Hold Me” Bedroom Restraint System Review
I think the package for the bondage set is really well done. The box was designed as kind of a handbag and it's very colorful. There's an illustration of a woman demonstrating the handcuffs on the front. The cartoon style, the colors and the playful font makes the product feel less serious, which makes it inviting for beginners.
On the back, in English, is information about how the set works, as well as the dimensions and materials. The packaging looks really clean and it's clear that a lot of thought has been put into the styling. That's the difference compared to a lot of other products, that are often ‘in your face’ with pictures of naked women. The bed cuff set is packaged separately in the box in a resealable plastic bag.
The bondage set itself is all black and is really just one piece. The cuffs are connected by straps, which can each be adjusted using plastic sliding clips. The whole thing is shaped like an 'H', which goes under the mattress, as it were, causing the four cuffs to hang on both sides of the bed (see the picture of the front of the package). The adjustable length of the cuffs makes this set suitable for any bed.
These are the dimensions of the straps and cuffs: the four straps connected to the cuffs are each 1.40 meters. The center strap that the four 'arms' are connected to is also around 1.40 meters. Both the length of the four 'arms' and the length of the center strap are adjustable. The package says that the maximum circumference of the cuffs is around 40.5 centimeters. The cuffs themselves are firmly attached to the straps by a plastic sliding clip and are made of strong Velcro and lined with soft fabric. The cuffs also can't be removed from the straps.
Using the bondage set
After some prep, using this bondage set is very easy. If you're going to be using the cuffs for the first time, you need to put the straps under your mattress. After that, you can still adjust the cuffs and decide how spread out your partner will be on the bed. The shorter the cuff length, the more spread out he/she will be. The Velcro closure on the cuffs is easy to put on and the soft lining means they aren't uncomfortable for the person wearing them. However, we ran into a small problem in the detailing when we used them. The Velcro strips you use to secure the cuffs haven't all been cut short. In the picture you can clearly see that on the three left cuffs, the Velcro strip goes slightly past the end of the soft lining of the cuff. On the most right cuff, the Velcro strip stops exactly at the end. The Velcro sticking out can rub against the skin, which can cause irritation, especially when the person wearing it is trying to move their arms or legs. But the problem is pretty easy to solve by cutting off the part that sticks out yourself. After use, you can leave the set under your mattress and the cuffs will hang next to the bed.
Conclusion
I already had experience with a bed cuff set, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. Personally I think it's a nice addition in the bedroom, because your partner has to surrender to you completely. That gives you all the power and you can do whatever you want with your partner, whether that's pleasure or pain. Trust is very important, especially since your partner is tied up with both hands and feet. For some variety, you can choose to have your partner lay on his/her stomach, which of course opens up a lot of other possibilities. Definitely in combination with other toys, like paddles, whips, etc. Personally I really like the combination with a blindfold, because then your partner is completely helpless and also doesn't know what you're going to do or where the next touch is going to come from. So all in all, these bed cuffs are a good addition to the bedroom arsenal. This is a very easy and accessible way to experiment with bondage, especially for couples interested in bondage. Also because this set is focused on a safe and comfortable bedroom.
