I’ve been very lucky over the past few years to acquire quite a collection of restraint and bondage accessories during my fun “hobby-time” sessions. But of course, it’s always nice to have more to choose from whenever I’m packing my bag(s) for a new appointment.
So it was quite a thrill recently to be asked by my favourite fetish-fashion company honour.co.uk, if I would like to review one of their new HNRX Bondage items.
I first came across Honour in the summer of 2014, at The Great British Tattoo Exhibition, where I bought my first Latex Corselette. And I have purchased numerous items of clothing from the wonderful, and easy to use, Honour website in the four years since.
And having often been seduced by their amazing range of clothing in the past,
I was certainly intrigued to “test” a set of their HNRX Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs.
As always, the parcel arrived perfectly and discretely packaged, in a strong brown cardboard box, which upon opening, contained two separate, black cardboard boxes (approx, 4 inches square) for the Cuffs themselves, and two smaller rectangular boxes for two “Trigger Hook” devices (more on these later).
As you can see from my photos here, the boxes are all stylishly designed in Black and Purple with strong, white corrugated cardboard inner sleeves lining the Cuff boxes which also contain two metal locks and keys for each Cuff set.
Both Cuffs are made from heavy rubber latex which is actually very stiff . . . much, much stiffer than you would probably imagine. In fact my initial reaction on taking them out of the box is that they felt “too stiff and unwieldy” in comparison to my existing collection of (well used) leather bondage cuffs.
However, I am happy to say that my concern was only temporary as the natural curve of the rubber actually made them quite easy to attach to my willing assistant. They seem to hold their shape more than my leather cuffs and, I was told, felt “quite smooth and comfortable” once buckled-up . . . at least until he was clipped to the flogging-frame!
The manufacture of the cuffs is sturdy and impressive with the inner bands themselves being almost 3mm thick and 50mm wide. These bands are secured to a thinner (25mm wide) outer tongue-strap by four rows of chrome double studs. This outer strap has a chrome D and O ring at it’s middle, with a heavy duty chrome buckle at one end, and six slots to fit over the buckle tongue when secured.
The Wrist Cuffs are 27cm in length (to fit wrists from 12 to 22cm circumference), whilst the Ankle Cuffs are 32cm in length (to fit ankles from 20 to 29cm circumference). And, having had the pleasure of using them twice now since their arrival in my mailbox, I must say that despite my initial concern about their rigidity, I am very impressed.
Especially when used in conjunction with Honour’s ES Double Trigger Hooks. These are separate accessories to the Cuffs, but I highly recommend that you purchase . . . not just because they clip so easily into the O-rings of the HNRX Cuffs, but because they clip so easily into absolutely anything with buckles, chains, hooks or loops.
These heavy duty, double-ended Hooks are 10cm in length and are made from Die Cast Zinc, with a Chrome-like finish, with an easy-to-use trigger-release mechanism at each end. They are light to handle and just perfect for quickly attaching . . . and quickly releasing whenever you are ready. So a safe and user-friendly accessory for the user and the used . . . if you know what I mean, and I really do recommend these as must-have items for all of your every-day restraint requirements!
So . . . as I said earlier . . . I have been shopping at honour.co.uk for lots of my play-time latex and lingerie for several years, but these exciting Rubber Cuffs have certainly piqued my interest and I am sure to be tapping on that “Bondage” tab more and more in the future.

The HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Cuffs and the HNRX ES Double Trigger Hooks were sent to me, free-of-charge by honour.co.uk, for an honest and un-biased review.
The Modesty Rider:
I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adept at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me, sexy clothes and lingerie, sexy toys . . . and even sexy books . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!! Just to explain “how it was for me” in a fun, and light-hearted, way without taking things too seriously! Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.
