How often do you see white BDSM thigh cuffs? Not often? Me either. In a sea of black bondage gear, the Liebe Seele Fuji White collection of kink gear really stands out. Today, let’s focus on the thigh cuffs of the series for my Liebe Seele Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs review.
The Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs arrive at your door with a delicious, distinct leather smell. Unlike the Liebe Seele Wine Red Cuffs which had a scent that was so overpowering that we had to air them outside for a week, this Fuji White’s variety is the appropriate scent level. You can smell the familiar, erotic smell of leather as it’s near you, but you won’t be trying to air them out anytime soon.
Both cuffs are made from cow leather and silver hardware with 3 D-rings attached approximately 1/3rd distance away from one another. Each D-ring easily folds flat to prevent thigh irritation while wearing them.
To fit a wide range of sizes, the Liebe Seele Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs are available in a Small/Medium and Medium/Large. Between the two sizes, that’ll fit thighs ranged from 16″ to 28.7″. Each one of the adjustment holes is about 0.75″ apart, so you’ll likely be able to get a snug-enough fit to wear the cuffs.
It’s worth noting that the Large measurement would not fit me; if you’re a plus-sized person, make sure to measure your thighs first. (Mine are 36″ in circumference)
The cuffs seen within this article are the Small/Medium version of the Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs.
What Can You Use the Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs For?
If you’ve been around the kink block, thigh cuffs might be commonplace for you. If not, though, you might be a bit at a loss. What do you even do with cuffs that go around the middle of the thigh?
Turns out, thigh cuffs can be pretty helpful. While using an ankle cuff will technically restrain the limb, it will only restrain it at the end range of the limb. Knees can still be pressed together if the bound person wants to.
So if you’re playing with the idea of “forcing the legs apart”, thigh cuffs (and spreader bars!) can become some of your bondage BFFs. By adding bondage to the thighs, you can forcibly keep them open, preventing the thighs from closing.
You can make this happen in a multitude of ways, but most often, you’ll want to choose a bondage method that restrains the thigh cuff outwards. If lying down on a bed, you can restrain the thigh cuffs towards the edge of the bed. If standing on a St. Andrew’s Cross or other furniture, you can restrain the cuffs to the edge of the cross. The idea is to restrain the cuffs the opposite direction from what you want to impose on your partner. This way, they’ll be unable to take them any further in the direction you want to prohibit.
Common “reasons” for wanting to restrain the thighs can include:
- Orgasm torture scenes
- Orgasm denial scenes
- Focus on a chastity device or between the legs
- CBT scenes
- Clit, vulva, penis, or testicle clamping or needle play scenes
- Medical fetish play that requires the doctor to “get a good look”
- Humiliation and “exposure” scenes
- Full immobilization scenes
- Tickle scenes
Outside of their practical use, the thighs are simply sensitive areas of flesh. So close to the genitals, they can feel like erogenous zones of their own – more than the ankles or the wrists. Cuffs that wrap around that skin can feel like a luscious, kinky restriction that isn’t normally there. After all, most of us don’t reach for the thigh cuffs first; they’re a bit of a special treat!
Using the Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs for Play
Each one of the white leather thigh cuffs includes 3 D-rings. These rings are situated at about 7, 10, and 2 (clock face-wise) for a wide spread around the cuff. However, the “exact” spacing around the thigh cuff will vary depending on how tightly you have the cuff wrapped around your thigh.
As the third D-ring is the strap catch for the fastening strap, it’s pulling double duty. It still leaves about half of the D-ring open for business, but you can’t go hogwild connecting a lot of things to that particular D-ring. There just isn’t the space.
Luckily for both of us, the Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs are really easy to “swirl” around a thigh while they’re being worn. Just twist them around the leg to have access to another D-ring, or remove the thigh cuff and refasten it to readjust where the D-rings lie.
When you aren’t using the D-rings, they lay flat against the surface of the thigh cuffs. This keeps them neatly tucked away.
Those D-rings can handle some play too! We’ve thrown a few intense scenes at them to try them out for this Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs review, and they have yet to disappoint. The D-rings are sewn in securely, and while the thigh cuff will tug away from the surface of my partner’s thigh, it showed no danger of ripping or breaking with intense play.
Considering how powerful some peoples’ thighs can be, that’s a good thing! These thigh cuffs behave like they’ll be tolerating some of your roughest scenes.
If your wearer is on the smaller end of the fit spectrum, you’ll find a lot of excess material lying underneath the thigh cuff itself. This material isn’t fastened to the cuff in any fashion, and it will “peak out” from underneath the top layer of the cuff, disturbing the “smooth circular” look of the cuff itself. It hasn’t bothered us during play, but if we’re planning on taking a photo, they almost always require a readjustment to tuck the excess strap material back underneath the outermost layer.
These thigh cuffs are made from multiple layers of leather. This makes them more durable, but it also makes them warmer to wear. Luckily, the innermost layer of the white thigh cuffs offers a barrier between any metal rivet backings and the wearer’s neck. This keeps my partner from getting itchy when the sweat mixes with the uneven surface of the rivets.
That innermost, smooth leather layer really adds a lot to the comfort. While he definitely sweats underneath them while wearing them, it isn’t itchy; it’s just sweaty.
My only word of caution: we’ve been careful about blood around these cuffs. While the cuffs are made from a finished cow leather that feels “easy care” slick, we all know how blood and white material tends to go. These might not be the cuffs you want to pull out if you’re planning a spanking scene that goes until blood is drawn. (I’d probably swap over to the Dark Secret Thigh Cuffs instead).
We got a bit of dirty lube on the cuff and interrupted our play to wipe it up. No harm was done to the thigh cuffs, but I don’t necessarily enjoy interrupting my play session to babysit my gear. I love the look and feel of white leather bondage gear, but it definitely is something we’ve relegated to play where we don’t expect to make much of a “mess”.
Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs Review: Durability
Unlike some of the bondage gear out there, the Liebe Seele White Leather Thigh cuffs are built for rough play.
The entirety of the cuffs feature two layers of thick cow leather, sewn together with stitching along the edges.
This works well for durability and comfort. The second, innermost layer covers the backside of the rivets that fasten on the D-rings. This means the interior layer of your BDSM thigh cuffs is entirely smooth for the wearer. No irritating metal to scratch up against skin while wearing the cuffs.
As you’d expect, these two layers of leather are stiff – but surprisingly not too stiff. We’ve definitely had aggravating break in periods with some of the Liebe Seele collections, but that isn’t the case here. The leather layers are definitely on the stiffer side, but they’re still flexible enough to bend into whatever shape you need for fastening around the thigh.
The thickness of these leather layers also means that they tend to hold their shape well. This can be a benefit – and a bit of a storage concern. Try to store these white cuffs fastened in the same shape as their most frequent user. Try not to squish them into an oval shape (allow them to rest as circles) because the leather will very much default back to this oval shape.
Liebe Seele Fuji White Thigh Cuffs Review: Wearing Them as Lingerie
I don’t know about you, but sometimes, especially when at hours-long kink conferences, I tend to put my submissive into BDSM gear just for him to wear as an “accessory” to his lingerie. We often do this with collars, wrist restraints, or ankle restraints.
It offers that “feeling” of bondage without necessarily immobilizing him. I don’t need him stuck in one spot when we need to walk to a class on pet play down the hall in 30 minutes.
So, is that possible with the Fuji White Thigh Cuffs?
Yes – but with some modifications.
Like a pair of thigh-high stockings without any stay-put rubber on them, these thigh cuffs will slide down the thighs with the friction of two thighs rubbing together. It isn’t really their fault; the shape of the thighs makes it easy for gravity to push things downwards.
If you want to wear them as part of an outfit like we’ve done a few times, you need some upward pressure to hold them in place. A bondage waist belt is an option; simply use chains and fasteners to connect the waist belt to the thigh cuffs, and you have a “kinky” garter belt. You could also use jeans’ belt loops.
Anything that fits securely on the upper body and can attach to the thigh cuffs will give you the upwards support you need. This could be a connection to a collar or a chest harness or even a spreader bar separating the two wrists.
Plan ahead if you’re hoping to wear these for a lot of walking, though. Like anything bulky between the thighs, if your wearer’s thighs touch, this can cause uncomfortable friction. We didn’t have any problems at the two play parties we took these to, but we’d likely need to remove them for long walks; I think sweat build-up underneath the cuffs would lead to discomfort.
Collector’s Rejoice: There’s a Full Set!
Do you join me in the camp of “Matching sets are bae”?
If so, prepare to get excited. Liebe Seele offers a full set of kink gear in this Fuji White coloration.
They offer a full bondage gear line-up in the Fuji White including wrist cuffs, a hog tie cuff, a paddle, a collar, and ball gag. I would have loved to have seen a spreader bar, but thanks to the silver hardware of the Fuji White set, any standard chromed/steel spreader bar will fit in beautifully.
Since white kink gear is hard to find in the first place, this is a serious benefit! You don’t have to have a set of eyecatching white thigh cuffs in the sea of all of your other black bondage gear; you can have a full set of white kink gear.
See these White Leather Thigh Cuffs in Video!
Do you prefer seeing things in video? It can really help you understand how the cuffs behave and move around. Don’t worry, though. If that’s your preference, I got you.
See the Liebe Seele Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs in a video as I walk through this, the Liebe Seele Rose Gold Memory Collar with Nipple Clamps and the Liebe Seele Equestrian Leather Collar and Leash.
I’ve even been nice enough to start the video at the exact spot where the white cuffs appear (though the sun had very different ideas for this video than I did!):
Final Thoughts: Liebe Seele Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs Review
Liebe Seele Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs Review
Summary
Turned on by the idea of “innocent” white bondage gear? If so, I wholeheartedly recommend the Fuji White Leather Thigh Cuffs. They’re sturdy, well-made, feel amazing against the skin, and offer a lot of play potential with their 3 built-in D-rings. They look hot as heck, and they’re beautifully made with a multi-layer durability that most kinksters are really going to appreciate.
The only downsides are the ones you’d expect with white thigh cuffs: keep them away from colored messes, and they can slide down the thighs when wearing them while walking.
Liebe Seele didn’t phone it in when they crafted a white bondage gear set; this one holds up just as durably as any other gear you have in your collection.
