No, seriously, the problem i am having is that nothing fits! i've been seraching for cuffs and things. I see 'one size fits most' and 'plus size' stuff, but very little that will fit a small person like myself.

my wrists are 6 inches around... most cuffs go no smaller than 7. my neck is 12 inches. The bummer is that i like a snug feel to the cuffs and collars and they all just hang on me.

Even the sites that offer 'create your own' tend to only offer the above two sizes. Is there a place out there where i can find stuff that will fit and not charge me custom-made prices?

Thanks in advance!

I've made cuffs for 4 1/2" wrists and collars to match slave and canine pets (8"). We also have detailed instructions on how to precisely measure for specific collars and cuffs.

Check out http://www.saroftreve.com/workshop/projects.shtml - his site offers really good project plans, and he is very helpful in replies. Pretty sure you would have no problems sizing something down or just adding a few extra holes.

His store also sells the supplies you'd need and at good prices.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the links! A problem i have with just adding another hole is that the leather is still so wide, especially the collars... it kind of needs to be proportionally smaller, if you see what i mean. i'll look and see what i can find.

Appreciate the help!

personally my Lord found it easier to go and buy the materials Himself and make my wrist/ankle cuffs and collar.i am a very small person,my wrists are only 3 1/2 inches.so i defiantely know where you are coming from,custom tends to be alot better when it comes to personal fit and i also feel it is much more personable than purchasing the standard ones.

If you are willing to spend a little money (probably about $25-35 at the most), you can go to a hardware store and buy a "punch set." It had a handle that the actual circular punches slide on to, so you can smack them with a hammer and not damage the punches. The punch it's self is hollow with sharpened end and when you place it on leather and whack it it cuts right through. Probably easiest to find in a automotive section, used for making gaskets. This way you can add the appropriate sized hole in just the right place on any leather product you buy. Should work on most materials, except metal.

mmm, just went to the website,Elegant, very beautiful work!!!

It's so much better if you can't get away! Even if Sir knows you aren't going anywhere...

By the time you spend the money at Tandy you might as well have sent it to Elegant- and you'd get really superior work. They can do it better and faster because that's what they do all day. Craftsmanship is in a practiced hand.
Something nobody realizes is that this stuff is akin to high end sporting goods. You really do usually get what you pay for, and that directly creates your experience and performance. Bondage that isn't bondage is disapointment.

Status: offline 		I seldom find leather items that fit me without some minor midifications.  I am a slightly smaller than average guy so I have bought a leather punch, snap set, and several slot punch sets.  Its very common to have to add holes, cut excess straps off, add D rings or snaps, etc.  I shop ebay very often and find that some items are made to order and some are custom made for just a little more.  I also have a female friend that wears wrist cuffs on her ankles and a leg (knee) cuff for a collar.  Think outside the box.

How about being a bit more specific in what "things" you're looking for?

Cuffs -- leather?  metal?  locking?  non-locking?  suspension?

What else do you need that is sized?????

Status: offline 		what i am looking for specifically is a set of leather cuffs. i'd prefer to find some that i could put on and take off myself since i do not have the honor of living with my Master and sometimes being bound helps me sleep. Ankle cuffs would be good too but are not as high a priority as i can easy bind my feet myself. The other consideration is my ten year old, who likes to crawl in bed with me if he has a nightmare -- i must be able to remove them quickly and discreetly. Velcro would be lovely but haven't seen that as an option.

Again, thanks for the advice and help

His standard sizes have a huge range of adjustability and he offers a lot of items in two or three different sizes.

Status: offline 		My slave is also very small around the neck (12"), wrists (6") and ankles (9").  We don't have much of a problem getting cuffs that fit just fine - granted, sometimes I need to punch an extra hole in the leather and trim some of the excess strap.  Collars are a bit more of a challenge as just shortening the strap can be problematic as the front and back of the collar don't line up right and it looks funny.  But most commercial sites usually specify the range of sizes that the collar will fit.  Certainly, any custom provider can make you cuffs and collars of any size you want.  There is an upside, though.  I've seen (and bought) many very nice looking chrome collars that only came in two sizes - 12" and 14".  You'd be surprised how many items are designed only for people with smaller dimensions.  Keep looking, there is plenty out there.
