Door Jam Cuffs



Hey all! Sorry about the delay between reviews; life threw something very unexpected at my partner and I, and it took us quite some time to recover from it.

This review is for the Door Jam Cuffs- a great addition for anyone's bedroom. The straps slip over the top, side or bottom of any door, and when it's closed, they're held in place by a sold plastic bar. The cuffs themselves are very soft, and the Velcro closures hold incredibly well. They’re black—which goes with everything.

I was honestly impressed by the holding power that they had. I’ve had experience with Velcro closures before, and they’ve never held very well. However, these are unlike all other Velcro cuffs that I’ve had. They held well, they didn’t itch, and there was nothing scratchy on the inside of the cuffs at all. I was incredibly pleased.

There are many, many plus sides to this great invention- versatility, the ability to add some spice to bedroom life, and they're incredibly easy to use. The cuffs hold well, and stay closed even when significant resistance is applied. They were great fun to use, and were very comfortable.

However, there is ONE downside-- though it's one that's specific from person-to-person, and house-to-house. Depending on the height of your doorways, and your own height, this might not be the right toy for you. Personally, at 5'3, I had to stand on my tiptoes during a test run with them. For my partner, however, they were a great height!

I'd recommend them, as long as you follow this warning: don't leave your partner in them for more than ten or fifteen minutes at a time, keep careful watch on the blood flow in their hands and arms, and never EVER suspend them from their wrists in them. Wrist suspension with no additional support, and without knowing what you're doing can- and likely will- result in damage to the tendons, ligaments and muscles of the shoulders and arms.

Overall, they were spectacular. As long as you're careful, and remember to play safely, I think that you'll find them very enjoyable, and a great addition to your toy collection!
