What makes handcuffs suitable for beginners? Three things. First, a soft material that does not dig into the wrists, so the experience is about the feeling of being held and not about discomfort. Second, a closure that opens fast with no key, such as Velcro, so either partner can end the scene in a second. Third, some flexibility in how they are used. These cuffs can be clipped together like handcuffs or separated and used one at a time.
Sex and Mischief Beginners Handcuffs in soft fabric
These black cuffs from the Sex and Mischief line by Sportsheets are built for a first try at restraint. They are made from soft polyester Velboa fabric that sits gently on the skin and is designed not to dig in. Each cuff wraps around the wrist and fastens with Velcro, so it goes on and comes off quickly.
Metal snap link connectors join the two cuffs. Clip them together for a classic handcuff hold, or unclip them to use the cuffs separately in other ways. One size fits most.
Best for: For couples trying bondage for the first time, and for anyone who wants restraint without hard metal or a lock. The Velcro closure suits people who feel more at ease knowing the cuffs can be opened at once.

How to use
Talk through what you both want and choose a safe word. Wrap one cuff around each wrist and press the Velcro closed. It should be snug, with room for a finger underneath. Clip the snap links together to hold the wrists in front of the body, which is the most comfortable position to start with. To try something different, unclip the cuffs and use them apart. Check in with your partner often. To finish, pull the Velcro open. Take the cuffs off right away if hands feel numb or tingly.
Care
- Spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
- Let the cuffs air dry completely before storing them.
- Close the Velcro before storage so it does not collect lint.
- Dry the metal snap links after cleaning.
- Store in a clean, dry place.

How do they fasten?
With Velcro. Each cuff wraps around the wrist and presses shut, and pulls open just as quickly. There is no lock and no key.
Can the cuffs be used separately?
