Getting rid of handcuff marks

[TiredFish]

So asking for a friend, how does one get rid of handcuff marks? She didn’t mention what kind of handcuffs she was using

[jakbird]

The marks are abrasions caused by the narrow width of the cuff.  One way you can reduce the marks is to use a British Darby type cuff with a wider contact area.  Or use a buffer between skin and steel to reduce rubbing, like athletic tape.  And follow the two-finger rule for fit: it's usually sufficient if you can slip two fingers between cuff and skin, no need to overtighten.

Thanks! I’ll let her know!
