About The Bondage Boutique Faux Leather Collar to Wrist Restraints
The collar of the Collar to Wrist Restraint is 37cm in length x 3.7cm in width, the wrist cuffs are 24.5cm in length x 6cm in width, and the central strap is 32.5cm to 58.5cm in length. There are adjustable buckles to get maximum comfort, and the wrist cuffs detach from the central strap for a quick and easy release so you can explore the world of BDSM safely and confidently. The Collar to Wrist Restraint is made of vegan-friendly, black faux leather, and the cuffs have a nice soft padding lining the inside. In my personal opinion, a little bit of padding around the collar part would've been nice, but, being the world of BDSM, pain is pleasure, and pleasure is pain! So I understand, and respect, the lack of padding around the collar piece. The design is simple, but creative, and was a lot of fun to try out in the bedroom!

Personal Experience
Restraining to Have Fun
I have only just started my journey into the BDSM world in the last year or so, and I’m still pretty “vanilla” as they say, but these Collar to Wrist Restraints from the Bondage Boutique, sold by Lovehoney, were a fun alternative to the rope play I usually take part in. Not only were they easy to put into place, but they were comfortable, flexible, and versatile. When I first opened up the shipping box I was not greeted by a pretty, fancy package, which was a little disappointing but then again, a lot of people love discreetness, and these came just like that. Nothing but a clear plastic bag, with a tiny instruction manual; simple and straight to the point!A Strappin’ Good Time
Holding the Collar to Wrist Restraints at first, and feeling the faux leather I was a little skeptical as the edges did come off a bit rough, and the ‘leather’ itself is very thin, so I was unsure of how’d they’d feel or perform while in use. Once again, to my surprise, they were pretty pleasant. They felt great on the skin, around the neck, and even with the lack of padding in the collar, it was very comfortable. Adjusting the straps were very easy, and did not take very long to get it set up – unlike rope play which takes time, effort, and finesse. The cuffs were cozy, very easily adjustable, had extra padding for comfort, and velcro fastens for easy release in-case something goes wrong. In my opinion, the release features make it suitable for beginners and people who are interested in trying out straps with ease of mind. One thing my hubby and I did with the restraints was release the cuffs from the central strap, and used it like a leash while my hands were still cuffed behind my back — the buckle let go very quickly with his help, and I fully believe this feature is handy and fun! Anyone more experienced in the BDSM world might want something a bit less escape-friendly. The Collar to Wrist Restraints from the Bondage Boutique are most suitable for couples, partners, or group play!When All is Said and Done
The Collar to Wrist Restraints from the Bondage Boutique are a fun, sexy, and devious device. Before giving it a try I wasn’t convinced that I’d like them, but now I can’t wait to use them again! They were everything and much more than I had expected, and were a joy to have in the bedroom during playtime. Any couples, or partners, looking for a simple, easy, and comfortable collar to wrist restraint to try out, I highly suggest starting here!Design
The Collar to Wrist Restraints design is very simple, and self explanatory by having a 37cm collar piece with a metal buckle and adjustable features to tighten, or loosen it as desired. Attached to the collar piece is the central strap, 32.5cm to 58.5cm in length, with a metal buckle that connects to the wrist cuffs. The wrist straps are lightly padded, and sit on top of each other, giving you that "held down" sensation without your partner needing to use their hands. The wrist cuffs themselves don't have any buckles, and they use velcro to fasten, which if you're more experienced and want more of a secure restraint, you might want to keep looking, or get innovative! The design for me personally works great, but I can see how others might not enjoy them. The neck piece is on the shorter side, so if you have a thicker/muscular neck, you will want to measure first before purchasing. I personally don't find this product to look or feel luxurious, but it also doesn't look or feel like it'll just fall apart on you.
Ease of Use
The Bondage Boutique Collar to Wrist Restraints are best suited for couples, partners, and/or groups of people who enjoy exploring the world of BDSM. You're welcome to try them on your own, but it would be fairly boring and noneffective in my personal opinion! The restraints themselves were very easy to use with my husbands helping hand, along with all the adjustable pieces. The buckles all work well, and held firmly in place once things were properly fitted. The cuffs are even more simple to put on than the rest, with the ease of a velcro strap and soft padding. As always, take your time to make sure things fit properly, to leave at least 2 fingers space between the skin and straps around the neck (and wrists) to avoid any discomfort, or unwarranted choking hazards, and always have a safe word!
Quality
The Collar to Wrist restraints by Bondage Boutique is made out of soft, thin faux leather, and is vegan friendly. In my personal opinion, I do not find that the materials to be of a very high quality, but also not cheaply made either; they completed the job, held up to the tugging and pulling, and didn't hurt my skin like I was worried the edges of the central strap and collar piece were going to. The cuffs were surprisingly comfy, and effective, though getting out of them wasn't too difficult with the velcro fastens. The metal for the buckles, and studs holding the leather together are decent, but again not the greatest quality and could easily be broken if you and your partner prefer more vigorous or rough playtime. Don't let looks deter you from giving the Collar the Wrist restraints from the Bondage Boutique a try though, it was a blast to use with my hubby!
Price
Right now the Bondage Boutique Collar to Wrist restraints are on sale for $18 which I think is a great deal opposed to its original price of $37. I don't feel $37 is justifiable for the quality, and quantity of the Collar to Wrist restraints as they didn't come in any packaging, or with any extra's. But for $25 that's a steal in my eyes, so go and grab yours while it's still on sale!
Performance
The Collar to Wrist Restraints have very good reviews, a 4-star rating on LoveHoney, and with very few dissatisfied customers; it definitely lived up to all the positives people had to say about it. Some people stated the faux leather and way it's held together is of good quality, and that they enjoyed the experience. Others, on the more skeptical side, said the collar might not be good for thicker necks, and the wrist cuffs being on-top of each-other, with no versatility to change that, made it uncomfortable for some as they had to think about where to put there hand, which can be very annoying in my own personal opinion! I feel most of those who have purchased the Bondage Boutique's Collar to Wrist restraint have enjoyed the product, their experience with it, and like any product, can be a hit or miss for some folks.
Packaging
The Collar to Wrist Restraints from the Bondage Boutique were delivered quickly and in your typical brown shipping box. Opening up the package, I was disappointed when I was greeted by the Collar to Wrist Restraints in a clear plastic slip, with the bar code on it. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect every single toy to come in some beautiful, extravagant box or packaging, or to come with any extras, but I like a little bit of something to give the toy the spot-light it deserves. It did include a quick how-to manual on how to use the Collar to Wrist Restraints, which is always nice!
Materials and care
The materials that the Collar to Wrist Restraints are made from, are vegan-friendly, thin faux leather. The leather feels very soft in the hand and is very flexible as well. There are no cleaning instructions that come with the Collar to Wrist Restraints, but to clean faux leather you use a warm damp microfiber cloth with a mild soap, make sure to wring the cloth out before use to avoid excess water spillage, and dry it with a new, clean microfiber cloth, or another soft material rag. Always clean any toy before and after each use!
