They are wide [[wrist]] and [[ankle]] restraints generally made of leather, often padded with soft leather or fake fur. They are secured around the wrist or ankle, and the cuff is then attached to another cuff or other object. They are often equipped with [[D-ring]] attachments or buckles to fit [[nylon webbing]] restraints. They are typically used as a set of four to attach each wrist cuff (directly or indirectly) to the corresponding ankle cuff, thus putting the wearer in a sexually vulnerable position. This is a convenient way to create a [[hogtie bondage|hogtie]]. Alternatively, a pair of ankle cuffs can be used together with thigh-width straps to create a [[frogtie]]. They can also be used in conjunction with [[leg spreader]]s. Bondage cuffs are designed to be safer than [[handcuffs]]. The use of handcuffs, even with soft coverings, for bondage can, in some instances, lead to severe and permanent damage of nerves, blood vessels, and body extremities. Unlike bondage cuffs, the primary design goals of handcuffs are not comfort and safety, but immobilization and prevention of escape. Ordinary bondage cuffs are not designed to be safe when used to carry any significant load. [[Suspension cuffs]] are a specialized form of bondage cuffs, designed to be used to suspend the body during suspension bondage without injury. ==See also== * [[BDSM]] * [[Fetters]] * [[Handcuffs]] * [[Spreader bar]] * [[Testicle cuffs]] * [[Thumbcuffs]] [[Category:Physical restraint]] [[Category:BDSM equipment]]
