Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #18: Ankle Restraints

We’re now down to the final week of my annual-ish quest to unbox and review Lovehoney’s adult advent calendar day by day. I received the Lovehoney x Womanizer 24 Day Couples’ Advent Calendar to try out this year, which retails for £149 at Lovehoney UK and $199 at Lovehoney US and contains £457/$530 worth of products.

It’s Day 18. Let’s go.

Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #18: Ankle Restraints

Remember those velcro-fastening wrist cuffs from Day 8? Well, today’s box containd the matching set of ankle restraints. These, too, are black with rose gold hardware and come with a clip to fasten them together.

Pros

Lovehoney ankle restraints

  • Like the wrist cuffs, they’re a huge step up from the rough nylon cuffs and those unsafe ribbon things from previous years
  • Soft and comfy to wear
  • Safe and beginner-friendly as you can unfasten them in a second
  • Very adjustable sizing

Cons

  • The clips are tiny and not very strong
  • Annoying dangling velcro strap when they’re on
  • Mostly, I’m just annoyed that these were a separate item. All four cuffs should have been in the same box as they’re clearly a set.

Verdict

Exactly like the other half of this matching set (sensing a pattern here?) these are far from amazing, but they’re fine. They do the job if all you want to do is experiment with light bondage. If you find you enjoy it, you can always splash out on some properly made kink ankle cuffs later on.
