Thigh cuffs
Thigh cuffs are bondage cuffs
designed to fit around the upper thigh.
In general, as a bondage item they are not very
effective. The problem is that thigh tapers from the top of the leg to
the knee. This means that unless the thigh cuff is attached to a fixed
point above the thigh, it will tend to slide down the leg and come off.
A common variant available in a number of stores is the wrist to thigh
cuff, where a wrist cuff is directly attached to the thigh cuff. In
theory, this allows someone to be bound with their wrists held against
their thighs, allowing them to stand or walk. In practice while they may
look attractive, they are almost totally ineffective as a bondage device
as they come off far too easily.
Thigh cuffs do have a use when someone is tied in a vertical
spreadeagle position or against a St Andrews cross. In this case, they can be used
to help support the weight of the body and lessen the tendency of the
bound person to hang from their wrists.See Also
