Armbinders
The Bolero Armbinder is a further development of the classic single glove. It offers more freedom of movement and prevents the arms getting numb, as the shoulders are not pulled together quite so drastically and the lacing allows a more varied adjustment. The binder is pulled up the arms from the back as the upper part slips onto the shoulders like a Bolero jacket which is then secured with two straps across the chest. The width of the arms is controlled by the lacing. For additional immobilisation of the hands, a detachable wrist-strap is included. With the help of a D-ring, attached to the tip, the range of motion can however be considerably restricted. Besides its restrictive function the Bolero Armbinder is a very decorative garment for going out.

The classic Mono-Glove is widely regarded as one of the most fascinating restrictive garments. It was immortalised by John Willie in his story of 'Sweet Gwendoline', so it is also known as the 'Gwendoline Glove'. This Mono-Glove can only be worn by persons who are able to almost touch their elbows behind their backs and therefore demands good flexibility of the wearer or previous intensive training, respectively.Please note implicitly our security advice below ! In our experience it is only persons with slight upper arm muscles who are flexible enough for the classic Mono-Glove. Consequently we typically recommend this model for slim and very flexible ladies. Gentlemen require a considerably above average flexibility and can't be muscular. Please test before you order this model:Bind the wrist tightly together behind the back with a strap. Now push the elbows together as far as possible and secure the upper arms by placing another strap around them. Measure the distance between the elbows.If the distance is not more than 5 centimetres, it should work! If the distance is between 5 and 10 centimetres, a little training could help, but we can't promise success. Many attempts lead to numb fingers and hands and therefore to the absolute necessity to stop, as nerves could otherwise be damaged. Safety advice:The wearing of the classic Mono-Glove entails obvious risks and takes place at the wearer's risk!Regular examination of the blood flow of hands and arms, as well as the sensitivity of the nerves, are extremely important. Should a tingling in the fingers, similar to that of a 'numb hand' become apparent, it is an indication of compression on the the nerves of the upper arm. It is then imperative to take off the restraint or at least to loosen it until the tingling subsides.There is a danger of irreversible nerve damage if these symptoms are ignored!
The Mini Single Glove is very comfortable, yet secure. The hands are guided through the short cuff either in front or behind the body. The hands can then be placed tightly together by the lacing and the cuffs can close around the wrists. The soft leather leaves enough leeway to be able to move the arms regularly, which makes the wearing of the mini single glove extremely suitable for prolonged use. Made from high quality cowhide leather Available in three sizes: Small (corresponds approx. with glove size 6-7), Medium (corresponds approx. with glove size 7¹/2 -8), Large (corresponds approx. with glove size 8¹/2-9)
Der klassische Monohandschuh gilt weithin als eines der faszinierendsten restriktiven Kleidungsstücke.
John Willie hat ihn mit seiner Geschichte der „Sweet Gwendoline“ so unsterblich gemacht, daß manche ihn auch „Gwendoline-Glove“ nennen.
Da der klassische Mono-Handschuh nur für Personen tragbar ist, deren Ellenbogen hinter dem Rücken fast aneinander gedrückt werden können, gibt es hier auch weniger restriktive Alternativen, die wir zum Sichern unnützer Hände und Arme entwickelt haben.
