There are padded, even fuzzy, handcuffs. Zip ties are never going to be comfortable. The sign doesnโt say anything about consent, though. It merely specifies โmust.โ
Itโs not my bag, baby, so I know very little about that subcultureโฆ but FWIW โonly if your sub is cool with itโ should be a universally understood given, right? In the โgoes without sayingโ way.
It should go without saying, but unfortunately thereโs a lot in the kink space that should go without saying, but still has to be said, over and and over, because a lot of people come into the scene via entry points like 50 Shades that are almost antithetical to the idea of safe consensual kink.
Also, fair warning, the โpaddingโ on most padded cuffs wonโt do shit to stop them from digging in. Fabric compresses against metal, with the result that you still have an unyielding and relatively small point of contact. A good safe bondage knot will spread the point of restraint across several inches of skin, so the pressure at any one point is minimal.

Ha, thanks. But no. Iโm neither a sadist, nor a masochist; hurting or being hurt is the biggest turn-off for me.
To each their own.
