I think the Blush cuffs are an excellent first pair of cuffs. The price is very inexpensive which is perfect for people on a tight budget. The cuffs are comfortable; men with small wrists can wear the cuffs. Women can slid out of them but men can't. I like the fact that my husband can also wear these cuffs which was a nice surprise. Overall, I highly recommend this pair of cuffs for beginners.
