Handcuffs and restraints for couples are soft cuffs, straps and sets that hold the wrists or ankles loosely in place, so one partner can relax into being led while the other takes charge. For most couples this is about trust and play, not pain, and the best first set is soft, adjustable and quick to undo. This is a safety-first guide. We stock 14 cuffs and restraints, from ₹499.
Safety first
- Talk first. Agree what you will try, what is off limits and how long it will last, before anyone is restrained.
- Use a safe word. Many couples use “red” to stop at once and “yellow” to slow down, plus a hand signal such as dropping an object in case speaking is difficult.
- Never leave a restrained person alone, not even for a minute, and never leave cuffs on someone who is asleep.
- Check circulation. You should fit two fingers under any cuff. Tingling, numbness, cold or a change in colour means release straight away.
- Keep the release at hand. Keys, buckles and Velcro should be within reach. For rope, keep safety scissors beside you.
- Nothing tight around the neck, and never tie or clip a collar to anything.
- Aftercare. Afterwards, take time to talk, cuddle and check in; see aftercare.
How restraints work
Most beginner cuffs close with Velcro or a buckle and are lined with soft faux fur or padding, so they hold lightly and come off in a second. Metal cuffs with a fur cover look more like the real thing but need a key, which makes them slower to undo. Restraint sets add ankle or thigh cuffs joined by straps or a chain; a door kit anchors the cuffs over a closed door; a hogtie strap links wrists and ankles.
Rope looks simple but needs the most skill, because tight or badly placed rope can press on nerves. If you want to try it, read our bondage for beginners safety guide first and start with loose wraps, not knots on joints.
Who it suits and who should skip it
- Suits: couples who trust each other and want to add a little power play, and anyone curious who wants to start gently.
- Suits: partners who already enjoy blindfold and sensory play.
- Skip it if: either of you feels pressured, has been drinking heavily, or has joint, wrist or circulation problems.
What to look for
- Closure: Velcro is fastest to release; buckles hold better; metal cuffs need the key close by.
- Lining: padding or faux fur protects the skin and spreads pressure.
- Adjustability: straps you can set to each wrist are safer than one fixed size.
- Material: synthetic leather and nylon wipe clean; fur linings need a gentle hand wash.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best handcuffs for beginners?
Soft, adjustable cuffs with Velcro or a buckle and a padded or faux-fur lining. They hold lightly and come off in seconds.
What is a safe word?
A word agreed in advance that stops play immediately, such as “red”. Many couples also use “yellow” to slow down and a hand signal for when speaking is hard.
How tight should cuffs be?
Loose enough to fit two fingers underneath. Release them at once if there is tingling, numbness, cold or a change in skin colour.
Can I leave my partner cuffed for a while?
No. Never leave a restrained person alone, and never leave cuffs on someone who is sleeping.
Is the parcel discreet?
Yes. Every order ships in a plain, unbranded box with free delivery and cash on delivery.
For adults 21 and over. Every order ships in a plain, unbranded box with free delivery and cash on delivery.
