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 varient 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 this allows the sub to be bound with their wrists held against their thighs allowing them to stand or walk. In practice they are almost totally ineffective as a bondage device as they come off far too easily. Thigh cuffs do have a use when the sub 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 tendancy of the sub to hang from their wrists.
