My partner and I purchased a pair of these half in jest and half in seriousness. These cuffs opened the door to light bondage for us, and they have seen many uses and are still in tip top shape after a couple years of use. Even with the faux fur they can hurt after prolonged use, but it totally depends on how they are being used and how tightly one applies them. They are completely functional as well, allowing the user the ability to restrain his or her partner anywhere imaginable. Even if a room has no place to hook these around, they still prove useful just as standard cuffs by strongly limiting the bound person's range of movement and allowing him or her to be controlled.
The more experienced and serious users may want to look elsewhere since these cuffs aren't created to be compatible with bondage furniture, but they might work. If you are looking for police-type handcuffs in particular, these make a great choice because of the faux fur sleeves and nobody has to worry about lost keys.
If dirty, they can easily be cleaned with soap and water and the faux fur can be removed for washing. Do not place the faux fur in the dryer, because the fibers will melt together. Take good care of them and they should last a lifetime!
