Hogcuff
Hogcuff is a bondage restraint technique based on the hogtie (which traditionally uses rope) but modified to use metallic handcuffs.
Wrists are restrained behind the back using handcuffs. Ankles are restrained using handcuffs or leg irons. With the subject lying face downwards, the legs are bent upwards at the knees and the wrist restraints are secured to the ankle restraints. Wrist restraints may be attached to ankle restraints using a padlock or by using an additional set of cuffs. Alternatively, the fastening may be done by wrapping the leg iron chain round the handcuffs before fastening.
For people with smaller ankles, including most women, ordinary handcuffs can be used on ankles as well as wrists. Some models of handcuff are larger in diameter and will be usable on a wider range of subject ankles (Peerless hinged, Hiatt 'de-luxe' models are larger than standard diameter). On larger ankles, or for use over boots, leg-irons will be needed.
Caution: metallic handcuffs may be less comfortable than rope or straps and may dig into flesh to a greater degree during vigorous struggling. Handcuffs may be used on ankles whilst the subject remains in the hogcuff position, but use of handcuffs on ankles whilst the subject is standing should be avoided as they may dig into the tendon at the rear of the ankle when weight is placed on the feet.
