Can the same cuffs be used on wrists and ankles? Yes, if they adjust far enough. Cuffs that close with hook and loop wrap to whatever size is needed, so one pair can go around wrists in one scene and ankles in the next. On the wrists, linked cuffs work like handcuffs. On the ankles they can hold the legs in position. Cuffs with metal attachment points can also be clipped to straps or tethers, which opens up more positions than a linked pair alone.
Sportsheets Soft Cuffs with a gentle lining
Sportsheets Soft Cuffs are adjustable restraints for the wrists or the ankles. The outside is tough and the inside is lined with an ultra soft material, which protects the skin while the cuffs hold firmly. They close with hook and loop, so they come off easily, and the hardware is durable metal.
Link the cuffs together to use them handcuff style, or connect them to a Sportsheets restraint system if you own one.
Best for: For couples starting out with fantasy and restraint play who want comfort first. The maker also suggests them on the ankles in the missionary position to reduce fatigue. Owners of other Sportsheets restraint gear can add them as extra cuffs.

How to use
Agree on a safe word before you begin. Wrap a cuff around each wrist or ankle with the soft lining against the skin and press the hook and loop closed. Leave enough slack to slide a finger underneath. Link the cuffs to each other with the metal hardware for a handcuff hold, or clip them to your restraint straps. Start with the hands in front of the body. Check comfort and circulation regularly. To release, simply peel the closure open. Remove the cuffs if hands or feet tingle or feel cold.
Care
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Air dry fully before storing.
- Close the hook and loop tabs so they do not pick up lint.
- Dry the metal hardware after cleaning.
- Store in a dry place.
