The Cuffs.

LULU Signature.

Padded-Steel Cuffs Leather Cuffs

Pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Second Life.

Half a year's work brings you powerful and original features not found elsewhere.

Possibly the most sophisticated cuffs you can own in Second Life.

Bondage + Lulu = Freedom

Freedom to not wear any restraints, not even invisibly, only for this freedom to be taken away, firmly, suddenly, cruelly, at a moment's notice: One command. Cuffs rez in the air, snap onto sub. Bound. No permissions necessary, with the default Second Life viewer.

Freedom to try to detach locked cuffs... Detach. Cuffs re-rez, snap onto sub. Locked again. Wicked.

Freedom for the sub's owner to tie her wrists, ankles, elbows and knees, step-by-step, to force her into one of 674 bound positions.

Freedom to walk in the bound position. Bound in a kneeling position, walk on knees. Bound lying down, crawl on belly. Squatting? Duck-walk; etc. Seamless.

Freedom for the sub to use her AO or furniture or dance anim, without "breaking" the wrist bonds.

Welcome to Lulu.


(Lulu Signature Cuffs are compatible with RLV, and all bondage furniture using Lockmeister or Lockguard)

The Latest.

From Lulu's atelier.

Lulu regularly adds new features to her Signature gear, and you can update for free to the latest version.

Check back here to see what's new with the latest releases.

Current release: HUD 6.3.30 and Cuffs 2.4.8

Recent new features:

  • Lighter, but better!

    Now 50-71% smaller script footprint for faster TPs and rezzes. Improved menus, more options, sub's owners can now re-size sub's cuffs, new command prefix, etc. etc.
  • White leather

    Leather cuffs now come with both fawn and white leather base. You can then tint either one in *any* color to get your perfect shade.
  • Rez/re-rez

    Rez is snappier, cuff menu will come up faster after rez. If cuffs are removed in no-script or no-rez sims, re-rez will automatically kick in once you enter a rezzable, script-friendly sim.
  • Wear in no-rez sims

    In addition to Auto AIR-REZ, you can now also wear cuffs directly from inventory, so you can wear in no-rez sims!
  • No-AFK

    Doms who'd like their subs to focus and fully savor certain experiences can use this. Customizable timers.
  • Rez/Remove Singly

    Or in pairs. Or all together. For example, "/1c1" rezzes wrists, "/1c2r" rezzes right ankle, "/1c--" removes all. This is the new Individual-Rez system.
  • Chains!

    More chaining/unchaining options and control. If you've got both plugins, you've got over 50,000 ways to get chained!
  • RLV

    More RLV options. Forcesit, shared folders, and more. Use the cuffs in Shared Folders to rez in no-rez sims. Courtesy of Nagi Michinaga (thanks Nagi!)
  • More...

The Special.

Why you want it.

Heavily scripted. Vivacious animations. Different.

+ Tie up arms and legs, part by part
     ... up to 674 bound positions, no names to remember
  • The Lulu Pose Engine 2.0 allows the sub's controller to custom bind each limb, forcing the sub into a new custom bound position in real time with each tie.
    • Choose the leg-bind position:
      • four basic positions: upright, kneel, sit, lie down.
      • for each: you can close the legs, or spread them, at will.
    • Choose how the arms are bound:
      • behind-back, behind-head, in-front, by-side
    • This way, you put her through the paces, step-by-step, by adjusting her arms and legs appropriately, and she is powerless to do anything about it.
    • The pose-on-the-fly Pose Engine means:
      • no need to remember any pose names.
      • no need to scroll through menus to find that one pose.
      • no cycling through poses either - you simply direct your sub into the pose you want - first arms, then legs.
      • decide whether chains are going to be loose, taut, or tight to complete the pose.
  • Start with 76 poses (core Signature Cuffs of wrists + ankles).
    • Add Arm Cuffs plugin to go up to 274 poses.
    • Then add Thigh Cuffs plugin to go up to 674 poses.
    • Details in the plugin section.

(Pose-on-the-Fly is an original Lulu concept first seen in the Plus Cuffs in 2006 and expanded in the Signature series)

+ AIR-Rez: Snap cuffs on sub anytime.
     ...no permissions, no third-party viewers, no invisible cuffs

No invisible cuffs. No third-party viewers. Only the LULU Command HUD.

  • AIR-REZ: Dom rezzes cuffs in the air on command, which auto-attach to the sub.

    One moment, uncuffed. Next moment, cuffed. When her owner decides, with a simple command.

    This is the real thing: cuffs actually rez in the air around the sub one by one, and they actually attach themselves to her, no permissions required. No special viewer required, either.

  • No need for invisible restraints.
    • AIR-REZ gives the sub a real freedom that invisible restraints do not.
    • True freedom. It's a mind thing.
    • And then... to have that freedom taken away, swiftly, cruelly, on command. Yum.
  • INDIVIDUAL-REZ System: Rez them one at a time, in pairs, all at once.
    • great for Role Play.

(Air-Rez/Auto-Wear/Wear-on-Command is an original Lulu concept first seen in the Signature Gags in 2006.)

+ Smart Refresh 3.0
     ... wrists remain bound when walking with AO, dancing, sitting, logging back in

Wearing AO? Dancing?

  • Wrists. Now your wrists remain bound when
    • walking with any AO.
    • dancing.
    • sitting on furniture.
  • Legs. Ever get down from a poseball / furniture and lose your leg-pose?
    • now you'll get right back into your original bound pose. Kneel, baby!
  • Logout while bound?
    • now login while bound.
+ Smart Walk 1.0 and 2.0
     ... bondage walks will never be the same again
  • Smart Walk is built into the core Signature Cuffs (wrists + ankles)
    • 8 exciting walk animations, depending on your current bound pose.
      • if you're lying down legs closed, you wriggle on your belly.
      • if you're lying down legs apart, you crawl on your belly.
      • if you're kneeling, you kneel-walk.
      • if you're squatting, you duck-walk.
      • if you're sitting, you walk on your bum.
      • if you're standing legs closed, you hop.
      • if you're standing legs apart, you hobble.
      • etc. etc.
  • Extra subtleties:
    • You face backwards when you turn around and walk backwards. (Second Life default is to face front even when you're walking backwards, while pressing the down-arrow key.)
    • You can turn left and right while on the move.
    • Realistic (and sexy!) body physics.
  • With the optional Thigh Plugin, you get Smart Walk 2.0, which goes one step further (no pun intended).
    • bondage walks will never be the same again.

(The two-finger and single-thrust walks of Smart Walk 2.0 are original Lulu concepts.)

+ Smart Lock with Re-Rez and Real Keys
     ... what's locked stays locked (even without any third-party viewers)

With the SL viewer, the sub can detach any "locked" attachment by mistake. The LULU Smart Lock fixes this.

  • Re-rez. If the sub removes any cuff when in locked state, new cuffs automatically rez in the air and again swoop down her, locked.
    • Again, this is done without asking the sub for permissions.
    • What's locked, stays locked, for real. For the ultimate bondage experience.
    • Of course, the usual alarms and IMs will be triggered on an illegal detach.
  • LULU Real Key. Now in the Signature Cuffs.
    • LULU Real Keys are key objects that the sub's owner holds in his inventory.
    • To lock and unlock the cuffs, the sub's owner wears the key.
    • For extra security, the key will only work if
      • the key's internal serial number matches that of the sub's cuffs, and
      • the key's owner is also the sub's owner.
  • Come or Crawl Over. Like real life keys, you can't use LULU Real Keys when you're too far away from your sub.
    • No matter, you can use the key to bring her to you automatically (again, without permissions!)
    • If your sub is too far away, the key will give you the options to order her to "come over" or "crawl over" (on all fours).
      • if you choose "come over", Smart Walk kicks in, and she crawls or duck walks or wriggles over, etc. according to her current bonds. Even if you use the key for the Signature Gag, Smart Walk will still kick in so long as she is cuffed.
        • If she she is bound in a no-move pose (e.g. hogtie), well... she can't move.
      • if you choose "crawl over", she will crawl over on all fours, if her current bonds allow.
    • Tip: you can use the key to order her to crawl or hop or wriggle to you anytime - not just when you need to lock her up! Yum.
    • Subtlety that mirrors Real Life: you must be facing the sub in order to use the key (subbie needs your attention, hun).
    • And when you're done with her, you can send her back to her previous position. Automatically. Shoo! Begone already!

(Smart Lock, Re-rez and Real Keys are original Lulu concepts, first seen in the Signature Gag in 2006.)

+ The little things that count...
     ... chain from each cuff to any cuff, and more!

Other interesting LULU features:

  • Life-like poses. Each bound pose allows for random fidgeting movements (especially with the Plugins), and is not frozen stiff. It's all about the animations.
  • Promiscuous Mode:
    • your owner (or you, ifyou're self-owned) can turn Promiscuous Mode on.
    • This means: anyone can play with your cuffs and put you in poses. When they do, you can't do anything about it.
    • Anti-griefing: you can add avies to your ban list. Once added, they can't play with your cuffs any more.
  • Chain your cuffs in any combination imaginable!
    • wrists to ankles: cross-chain or side-to-side, taut, loose or free; five combinations
    • wrists: taut, loose, free; three combinations
    • ankles: taut, loose, free; three combinations
    • Total: 24 ways of chaining your cuffs (combinations)
    • quick chaining menu - two clicks to the required chains.
  • Customize quickly:
    • Resize your cuffs one pair at a time with the easy re-size commands. No more trying to adjust each cuff one at a time via the manual SL edit mode.
    • Color all cuffs accurately via the LULU Color Ball
      • Also change bumpiness and shininess.
      • Note: leather version comes with changeable base leather of either white or fawn, both can be colored at will.
  • Up to four owners. Each sub can have up to four owners (or be self-owned).
    • Owners have access to features like setting promiscuous modes, locking the cuffs, etc.

Compatible with Restrained-Life Viewer, Lockmeister and Lockguard.

The Arms.

What lovely arms you have... yum.

The Signature Cuffs core set are really great by themselves.

But they really come into their own when used with the Arm Cuffs Plugin.

+ Bring total poses up to 274 (or 674)
     ... unprecedented number of poses, without having to remember a single name
  • Increase the number of combined poses by 360%
    • If you have the Thigh Cuff plugin, go from 188 to 674 bound poses.
    • If you only have the core cuffs, go from 76 to 274 bound poses.
  • You will get two Signature Arm Cuffs.
  • With these arm cuffs you now have four new different variations within each pose family:
    • Pull elbows together, or separate them, in real-time, in the current pose.
    • Pull wrists together, or separate them, in real-time, in the current pose.
    • Each of the 6 pose families has 4 variations now instead of 1, for a total of 24 different arm combinations.
    • For example, on command, elbows + wrists are now tightened. Another command, wrists loosen up, but elbows remain tightly bound. Another command, elbows are freed, but wrists remain loosely tied, etc.
+ New Smart Transition 2.0 Engine
     ... realistic transition between poses

Say you are bound with arms behind your back. Then you shift to hands bound behind the head. By default, Second Life will simply slide the arms upwards, in an impossible, contortionist sort of way.

Smart Transition 2.0 knows what pose you are in, and will transition accordingly.

  • If you shift from "back-low" to "behind-head", sub's arms will now transition properly to the front before raising them to the head. No more unrealistic direct-slides.
  • Subtlety mirroring Real Life: if both elbows and wrists are tied, sub can only be repositioned into a related pose family.
    • e.g. if arms are tied behind back, sub can only shift between back-low and back-mid poses. These are related poses for when your wrists are cuffed behind you.
    • e.g. if sub is in the "front-low" position, sub can shift to "front-mid" and "behind-head". These are related poses for when your wrists are cuffed in front of you.
    • you can cross between unrelated poses only if either the elbows or the wrists are free. e.g. if elbows are free, sub can go from "front-low" to "back-low". We assume it is trivial to release one cuff to switch position.

(Smart Transition is an original Lulu concept first seen in the Plus Cuffs and expanded in the Signature series)

+ Now you have 312 (or 5,616) ways of chaining your cuffs...
     ... in 2 clicks.

How many ways do I love chain thee?

  • arms-arms: taut, loose, free; three combinations.
  • arms-wrists: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut, loose or free; five combinations in all.
  • arms-ankles: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut, loose or free; five combinations.
  • (pre-existing wrist-wrist, ankle-ankle, and wrist-ankles add another three to five combinations each)

Total: 312 ways of wearing your chains (combinations)

Additionally, if you have the thigh plugin, you have:

  • arms-thighs: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut or loose; four combinations.

Total (with thigh plugin): 5,616 ways of wearing your chains

All these in a quick-chain menu - two clicks are all it takes.

 


Important: Signature Arm Cuffs Plugin requires the core set of Signature Cuffs (wrists + ankles), sold separately, to work.

The Thighs.

What nice thighs you have... yum.

Ready for another revolution in bondage-walk / pose control?

+ Bring total poses up to 188 (or 674)
     ... unprecedented number of poses, without having to remember a single name
  • Increase the number of combined poses by 250%
    • If you have the Arm Cuff plugin, go from 274 to 674 poses.
    • If you only have the core cuffs, go from 76 to 188 poses.
  • You will get two Signature Thigh Cuffs.
  • New pose-families: lying face-left and lying face-right.
  • With these thigh cuffs the knees can now be flexed or extended at will:
    • for example, if sub was half-kneeling with legs apart, she can be made to sit on her haunches, legs still apart. And back up again.
    • if sub was standing with feet together, she can be made to squat in position, or stand up again.
  • Hogties galore!
    • If sub is lying (face-up or face-down), you can draw her legs in... and when her wrists are bound behind her back -- you get hogtie!
    • And with options of legs apart or closed and lying face-down or face-up or face-left or face-right, you get not 1, but 16 hogtie positions!
    • And if you have the Arm Plugin, you can loosen her wrists, and either tighten or loosen her elbows, and you have a total of 64 possible hogtie position s! Oh, joy!
    • And you can go into hogtie step by step, so she can relish her predicament. Once done, just shift her from one hogtie to another to torment her! Yum.
+ Smart Walk 2.0 Engine
     ... ultra-realistic bondage walks come to Second Life. Feel the pain.

Remember Smart Walk?

Well, say goodbye to the easy life. Walking with one-finger depressed on the arrow key is for... free women and lazy slaves.

Smart Walk 2.0 goes... the extra step, so to speak.


Two-finger walks.

  • Let's face it. Some walks are difficult. Ever tried walking on your knees while kneeling? One step at a time. Painful, each step. Not easy.
  • Now Smart Walk 2.0 brings you that realism. Say you are kneeling.
    • SHIFT-LEFT steps forward with your left knee. Just one step. SHIFT-RIGHT, your right knee. (LEFT and RIGHT keys reserved for turning)
    • You move one step at a time, and just like in Real Life, sometimes each step is small, sometimes it's a little bigger.
    • Let go of the SHIFT-LEFT or SHIFT-RIGHT key, and you gracefully return to your original kneel .
  • "Let your fingers do the walking" take a whole new meaning. Tired knees in real life, tired fingers in Second Life. Fair.
  • Examples of Two-Finger walks: kneel-walk, duck-walk, butt-walks, and all stomach crawls.


Single-Thrust Walks
.

  • How do you make a standing broad jump in real life (say, with your ankles tied together)? You bend down to build up kinetic energy, then spring forward.
  • Smart Walk 2.0 duplicates that:
    • Press the DOWN key and you start bending down. Keep it pressed and you keep bending down, storing more kinetic energy the longer you bend (up to a point of course).
    • Release the DOWN key anytime, and you jump forward.
    • The more energy you build up, the further you jump.
    • No two jumps are ever the same, like in real life.
  • Examples of Single-thrust walks: upright jump, sliding (face-up) thrusts across the floor.


Breathers, cramps and other pain
.

  • Walk too long in chains and you might get winded.
    • or get muscle cramps.
    • or suffer kneel pain.
    • in all cases, you will need to stop for a breather.


Realistic, sexy animation.

  • Realistic body physics. Many, many hours were spent crafting each animation to duplicate a real sub's realistic body movement.
  • Left and right turn - you can turn while walking.


Suggested Uses.

  • Races:
    • have a bunch of subs line up, and try jumping (or crawling, or duck-walking) from start to finish.
    • isn't easy, needs skill, and luck.
  • Dance?
    • *evil grin* Well, try knee-walking around to a beat. Sub controls the step.
    • stepping on the same leg (i.e. keyboard key) twice pulls the leg back and out again.
    • yeah, it's not much, but subbie is tied up, right? Especially good for punishments. Or evil contests.

(Two-finger and Single-thrust walks are original Lulu concepts.)

+ Smart Transition 2.0 Engine
     ... ultra-realistic transition between poses

Say you are standing, and you proceed to lie face down. Second Life by default slides (or snaps!) you into position in one swift unrealistic motion.

  • With Smart Transition 2.0: You are standing, feet togther. To lie down, you squat in place, then extend your legs in a lying down pose. To stand up again, you squat first, then stand up.
  • You are standing, feet apart. You've been ordered to stand at attention, feet together. You will pull your right leg in. Second Life default is to slide both legs towards the center.
  • You are lying face down. You want to turn to face right. You will roll on the side and face right. Second Life default is to rotate you on the spot.
  • Smart Transition 2.0 knows what pose you are in, and will transition accordingly.

 (Smart Transition 2.0 features are an original Lulu concept.)

+ Smart Fidget Engine
     ... no more frozen lower body. Feel your legs.

In real life, our bodies and our limbs are never totally still. That's why Second Life meakes our avies' bodies move about randomly.

Problem is, many bondage poses freeze our avies into place, much like a stiff, unmoving statue. Even if some poses allow body and head movement, the legs are always pinned to the ground, lifeless like a rock.

  • With Lulu Smart Fidget, your legs will never be frozen stiff again.
  • Your leg muscles will move, subtly, randomly, while you remain in the same sexy pose. Feel your legs.

(Smart Fidget is an original Lulu concept.) 

+ Now you have 312 (or 5,616) ways of chaining your cuffs...
     ... each pair has up to 5 combinations

How many ways do I love chain thee?

  • wrists-thighs: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut, loose or free; five combinations in all.
  • thigh-thigh: taut, loose, free; three combinations.
  • thighs-ankles: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut, loose or free; five combinations in all.
  • (pre-existing wrist-wrist, ankle-ankle, and wrist-ankles add another three to five combinations each)

Total: 312 ways of wearing your chains (combinations)

Additionally, if you have the arm plugin, you have:

  • arms-thighs: cross-chains or side-to-side, taut or loose; four combinations.
  • Total (with thigh plugin): 5,616 ways of wearing your chains

All these in a quick-chain menu - two clicks are all it takes.

(Thighthigh and thigh-ankle chain options available from upcoming v.2 cuffs, a free update)


Important: Signature Thigh Cuffs Plugin requires the core set of Signature Cuffs (wrists + ankles), sold separately, to work.

The Story.

Every LULU has a story.

She is running frantically down the alley, her long shadow running ahead of her on the brick wall. The footsteps behind her are heavier now, more committed.

Whoosh! - the cuff clasps firmly onto her wrist. She dodges into a backstreet, trying to dislodge the cuff, when another cuff snaps onto her other wrist. She yelps and knocks down a bin, picks herself up and stumbles off, her wrists bound. More cuffs materialize in the air behind her - she shrieks and runs off, down the dim alleyway.

The cuffs drop from the air, bounce off the ground and speed on after her. Swoosh! A cuff hits her right ankle and she almost trips over. Whoosh - whoosh! - two cuffs wrap around her thighs simultaneously, dragging her knees to the ground. As she is getting up, another cuff hits her left ankle, throwing her forward. She is unceremoniously thrown onto the ground, ankles bound. She rolls about - to the left, and to the right - but she cannot get up.

Her wrists are temporarily released and forced behind her back, and rebound. She pleads and struggles desperately, but fresh arm cuffs appear in the air, and now descend at leisure, one at a time. Left, then right. Chains link the arm cuffs together, and her shoulders are drawn back tightly, forcing the breath out of her. 

Her feet are forcefully thrown backwards. She is in a painful hogtie. She struggles in vain amidst street trash, protesting and pleading. Eyes wide, she sees a gag in front of her face, popping into her mouth. 

The alley is, once again, quiet.

Now possible. With Lulu Signature Cuffs (and Gag). Featuring the all-new Individual Rez, LULU Pose Engine 2.0 and the Air-Rez system.

Signature.

The best from Lulu.

Not just gorgeous curves. Not just subtle details.

Behind the aesthetic exterior of LULU Gear lies what is possibly the highest-security bondage in Second Life. Subject to Second Life limitations, of course. Here's why.

+ True tamper-proof lock
     ... because you need to know that once locked, you are locked.

LULU Real Key

  • The LULU Signature restraint can only be unlocked with a pre-coded physical key, and only if the keyholder is on the sub's approved owner list. Double security.
  • The sub's owner can use his key to check the sub's lock at any time, to ensure that the last "lock event" was him locking her. If it's not, she could have added a temporary owner and gotten him to unlock and then relock her. There is an "audit trail" for the sub's owner.

No Reset.

  • The simplest restraints can simply be hacked by a clever sub by resetting the scripts. This deletes existing variables (owner lists, locks, alarms, etc.)
  • LULU Signature gear are "no-modify", which does not allow resetting, and are thus completely immune to this sort of attack.

No Editing of Prims.

  • Some restraints preserve stats (e.g. owner list, locks, alarms etc.) in the prims themselves, commonly in the Name or Description field. These fields can easily be modified.
  • Encrypted stats: these can still be deleted, and all scripts reset (see No Reset above) to wipe the slate clean. Or, some earlier stats (e.g. from an unlocked state) can be copied over and the sub has effectively reset the lock.
  • RestrainedLife viewer's no-edit feature: a powerful feature when worn, but switching over to the regular viewer allows full edits.
  • LULU Signature gear are "no-modify" and are completely immune to this type of attack.

No Script Hacks.

  • Any attachment that has "mod" permissions will allow a clever sub to drop listener scripts to intercept and even modify stats like locks and alarms.
  • RestrainedLife viewer: there's a powerful no-edit feature. However, a clever sub can still drop a dormant script anytime before no-edit kicks in (or by using another viewer temporarily) - this script can then be triggered at will later to reverse whatever stats.
  • Even encrypted messages can be easily circumvented, by the sub simply copying the encrypted internal messages and replaying them later without having to know the encryption password. (e.g. "xzUrzd" stands for "unlock").
  • LULU's Signature gear are "no-modify" and are completely immune to this type of attack.

Isn't no-modify bad?

  • Three major reasons for wanting "modify" rights are:
    • ability to color the prims.
    • ability to re-size the prims to fit.
    • ability to reset scripts when Second Life borks them.
  • color: LULU Signature gear come with the original LULU Color Ball, a quick and easy way to color multiple items (e.g. all eight cuffs!) at once, with 17 million colors, even if they are no-modify.
  • re-size: LULU Signature gear can be re-sized on command. After you get used to it, it works even better than Second Life's built-in re-sizer, as you can control the re-sizing by degrees, and it ensure related gear have the exact same size (e.g. two wrist cuffs and two ankle cuffs)
  • reset: LULU Signature gear come with Smart Reset 2.0 which only revives dead scripts, and keeps all major stats, unlike Second Life's built-in "reset all scripts". Does it faster too.

Because LULU Signature gear are "no modify", you will have the highest security lock in Second Life, compared with modifiable (i.e. potentially hackable and insecure) gear like the LULU Plus and Basic. The vast majority of restraints in SL are modifiable.

How to know whether you have a modifiable restraint? If you can drop a script in, it is modifiable.

(LULU Color Ball [i.e. editing a separate prim to color the gear], smart re-size, and smart reset are original Lulu concepts)

+ Detaching a locked attachment?
     ... getting round the bane of Second Life.

Unlike real life, Second Life allows a sub to detach an attachment (whether the script has "locked" it or not). This is part of the safe, consensual environment of Second Life. But it's not good for bondage players - you need to know your locked attachment stays locked in place!

Re-rez.

  • The moment a restraint is detached, the LULU Security system kicks into action and a fresh restraint is rezzed and immediately pops back onto the sub. No permissions. Just locked again. Escape is futile!
  • Using the RLV? Locked attachments in RLV can still be detached when a scripted item attaches itself to that attachment point. Not to worry, the LULU Security system will re-rez a fresh restraint and pop it back into place again.

Guaranteed IM Alarm.

  • Tattle-tale IMs are typically sent by the detaching restraint - but sometimes, they are not sent in time before the restraint finishes detaching. If this happens, the IM will be sent the next time the restraint is worn again. Another lovely SL "feature".
  • But LULU Signature gear is guaranteed to fire each time, on time, because it works in combination with the separate Signature Command HUD.

Hovertext Alarm.

  • A hovertext alarm is triggered on the restraint, showing the number of breaches.
  • Because LULU Signature gear is no-mod, a sub cannot drop a simple llSetText() script that erases the hovertext alarm.
  • This alarm can only be reset by the sub's owner.

RestrainedLife Viewer compatibility.

  • LULU Signature gear is fully compatible with the RestrainedLife Viewer (RLV), out of the box, leveraging on all relevant features of the viewer.
  • But LULU Signature gear offers more. With the various built-in security features like No-modify and Re-rez, LULU Signature gear are designed to offer the highest level of restriction and security, regardless of whichever viewer the sub happens to be using at any time.
  • Beyond the RLV, LULU Signature gear has been crafted with many unique features for a ... different bondage experience.
+ Getting the sub to wear any Signature gear. Now.
     ... one HUD launches all Signature gear.

Usually, the Dom says something like, "Now sub, wear your gag." And the sub spends a few minutes rummaging through her inventory, waiting for the asset servers to load her 15,000-items onto her screen. If she's in the mood. Otherwise, it might take even longer (or forever!). LULU Signature security system solves this little problem by:

AIR-REZ: Attach on Command.

  • One command. Immediate rez. Snaps onto sub. No perms required. End of story. With just the default Second Life viewer.
  • Simple. Effective. Now.
  • And multiple LULU gear can be launched from the one single HUD worn by the sub. One HUD, many restraints.
    • For example, sub has HUD loaded with both leather and steel cuffs, and also a ball gag and a ring gag. Sub's owner can choose exactly which cuff and which gag to wear with a command, and can swap them around with ease.

No need to go invisible.

  • Invisible restraints are a great idea to simulate the unworn state. But ctrl-alt-T shows them up, and besides, for many, the feeling is not quite the same.
  • With LULU Signature, she stays free. Until her owner decides otherwise. Mmm.
+ Does this mean a sub is open to abuse?
     ... breaking up is hard to do, or is it?

There are the odd moments when we have an abusive and hurtful Dom, or an absentee Dom that doesn't login anymore. Is the sub doomed?

No. Because in the LULU system, the sub is allowed to reset her owners. This resets all locks as well. Think of it as a guaranteed safeword (as in real life, a safeword is a must!). This also prevents griefers from having any sort of permanent control over the sub, even if the sub gave "ownership" to a stranger.

But: for certain gear (currently the Signature gag), there is a lock-down mode wherein the sub can't reset her owners when she is locked down. But this mode is only available to the sub if she has attained a rather high Slave Circle by completing various trials, so a sub can avoid this if she wants to.* Therefore, the choice is entirely up to the sub, not the Dom.

But but: even in the lock-down mode, the sub can go to "Fingers", a shady bot in Lulu's Secret Warehouse, and pay him to activate a one-minute window for the sub to reset owners (and automatically, all locks). Finger's prices vary over random periods - it can be very cheap, or not so cheap. So the recovery option is there, but because there is a cost (L$ and time and risk of missing the one-minute window), the sub is quite unlikely to make resetting owners a regular habit.

These features combine to make the LULU Signature range the tightest, most secure, yet safe restraints ever to be put on a sub in Second Life - regardless of which viewer the sub happens to be using at the time.

And then there are the other reasons:

+ LULU Signature HUD
     ... with extra features

Your LULU Signature gear (except the older v.2 gag) comes with an HUD:

  • quick launch of Signature gear via Auto Wear/Rez.
  • one HUD can hold multiple gear - e.g. both leather and padded-steel cuffs, and all gags can be called up from one HUD.
  • manage your owner list, settings and other preferences.
  • sim-performance information
  • your Circle stats
  • help menu, integrated with online help
  • Lulu's blog
  • RLV functions like forcesit, shared folders, etc.
+ Unlimited updates
     ... keeping up with new features

LULU Signature gear are updated very regularly with new features and bugfixes, and you get unlimited free updates to the latest version.

What? SL ate your stuff? Or borked it? Not to worry - just go the same Update Switch and get a fresh set. That will be the latest version.

If the update involved a lot of new work, there might be an upgrade fee involved, but most times the updates are free, even when there have been significant new features added.

Your LULU investment grows with you.
