The Ice Lock by Kink is the ultimate item in timed restraints. Take the decision of how long to be restrained out of your hands. To fill, place a finger over the small hole in the side and fill the barrel with water. Insert the pin piece and put it in the freezer (small side hole facing up). Once frozen the two pieces will not disconnect until the ice has thawed enough, keeping you or your partner right where they’re wanted for an unknown amount of time. When mostly filled the ice lock will stay locked for upwards of three hours.Pro Tip: Experiment with how much water you use, less water will yield a shorter thaw time.Safety Note: Do not fill to the top, water expands when frozen and can damage the lock.
