cuffs

Rigid restraints worn around the wrists or ankles, such as handcuffs, ankle cuffs, or shackles.

Cuffs are typically made of leather and/or metal and fit around the wrist, arms, legs, or ankles of a person. These bands are typically used to restrain the wearer by linking the cuffs together by chains or metal rods, or by linking the cuffs to a wall or object. Highly associated with bondage.

The term cuffs is also slang for handcuffs, but for tagging purposes the handcuffs tag should be used only for images depicting the metal handcuffs used by the police.

For fabric cuffs at the end of shirt sleeves, see sleeve cuffs. For detached shirt sleeve cuffs, see wrist cuffs. For frilled fabric cuffs worn around the ankles, see ankle garter.
