The Strict Full Sleeve Armbinder is a single laced sleeve that holds both arms together behind the back, from upper arm to wrist. As a bondage restraint it goes further than cuffs: the whole forearm is enclosed, so posture, balance and a sense of surrender all become part of the scene. Strict makes it in black PU leather with nylon straps and metal hardware, and it suits couples who are already comfortable with restraint and want a striking, full-length piece.
The bound partner puts their arms behind the back, palms together or wrists stacked, and the sleeve slides up over both forearms like a long tapered glove. Lacing runs along the back of the sleeve; tightening it draws the panels in around the arms. Straps then come up over the shoulders, which stops the sleeve from sliding down the arms. In total there are four adjustable straps, so you can fine-tune where the pressure sits rather than relying on the lacing alone.
The sleeve itself is 18 inches long, and the whole piece measures 22 inches including straps. Shoulder straps adjust from 6 to 11 inches in circumference. Shoulder flexibility varies enormously from person to person. Someone who can't bring their elbows together behind their back won't close the lacing fully, and that's normal: leave a gap and tighten the straps just enough to hold the sleeve in place. Forcing the arms closer than they naturally go is where discomfort starts.
The straps use buckles that accept small padlocks, so the wearer can't simply unbuckle them. Locks are not included; small luggage-style padlocks work, and keep the key somewhere both of you know. At the bottom of the sleeve there's a metal D-ring. You can clip a lead to it, link it to a waist belt, or attach it to other restraints for a more elaborate tie. Avoid tying it to anything fixed overhead, which puts heavy strain on the shoulders.
Agree a stop word and a non-verbal signal before you start, since a bound partner can't wave you off. Keep a pair of bondage safety scissors within reach in case you need to cut the laces quickly. Check in often: ask about tingling or numb fingers, and loosen straps straight away if anything feels off. Shorter sessions are the way to build up, and plan for some aftercare once the sleeve comes off: shoulders often feel stiff, so help your partner stretch gently. Our guide to exploring BDSM covers negotiation and aftercare in more detail.
PU leather is a coated fabric, so it doesn't need conditioning like real leather. Wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air-dry flat away from heat. Don't soak it or put it in the washing machine. Loosen the laces before storage so they don't crease the panels.
