Quick Answer
To put on a restraint set as a beginner, start with the collar, then the cuffs, and finish with the belt or leash. Always check for comfort and adjust straps to avoid chafing.
Why Order Matters
The order in which you put on each piece affects both comfort and ease of adjustment. Starting with the collar establishes a secure base, while leaving the belt for last allows you to fine-tune the overall fit without redoing other pieces.
Each ANOESES restraint set includes a belt, collar, thigh cuffs, handcuffs, ankle cuffs, and a leash. Understanding the function of each piece helps you build confidence and avoid common beginner mistakes.
Adjusting for Your Body
Restraint sets are not one-size-fits-all. Adjustable straps and D-rings allow you to customize the fit to your body. Take time to measure and adjust each piece before tightening fully.
If a piece feels too tight or too loose, use the adjustable straps rather than forcing it. Proper adjustment prevents discomfort and ensures the set stays in place during use.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start with the collar: Place the collar around your neck, ensuring it sits comfortably without pressing on your throat. Buckle or fasten it, then adjust the strap so you can fit two fingers between the collar and your neck. Check that the collar is not too tight; you should be able to breathe easily and swallow without discomfort.
- Put on the handcuffs: Fasten the handcuffs around your wrists, one at a time. Ensure the lining is against your skin and the hardware is facing outward. Adjust the strap so the cuff is snug but not cutting off circulation. Make sure you can slide one finger between the cuff and your wrist; if you cannot, loosen it.
- Attach the ankle cuffs: Sit down and fasten the ankle cuffs around each ankle. Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit, ensuring the cuffs are evenly positioned. Check that you can still move your feet slightly. Stand up and walk a few steps to confirm the cuffs do not shift or chafe.
- Secure the thigh cuffs: Place the thigh cuffs above your knees, on each thigh. Adjust the straps so they hold firmly without digging into your skin. Ensure the D-rings are facing outward for easy attachment. Bend your knees a few times to test that the cuffs stay in place and do not slide down.
- Fasten the belt: Wrap the belt around your waist and buckle it. Adjust the straps so it sits comfortably on your hips, not too loose or too tight. The belt serves as the central anchor for the set. Check that the belt does not ride up when you sit or bend; adjust the position if needed.
- Attach the leash: Clip the leash to the collar's D-ring. Hold the leash loosely to avoid pulling on the collar. If you are using the set with a partner, agree on a safe signal for release. Test the leash attachment by gently tugging to ensure it is secure before any play.
