I've heard many, many good things about these clover clamps. Many which I can see are true in my set. First off they're cute; the color is lovely. They're also pretty heavy duty! They have a decent weight to them so it's obvious that with a little rough play they will not break. Should they break though, so long as it's the chain and not the clamp they'd be super easy to fix.

The chain is thick and about a foot long so it's plenty long to reach from nipple to nipple, though it won't reach to a clit. The links are nice and thick and no tugging or pulling made any of them budge. One lovely part of the chain is that you can use it as a play thing; tug on it to get added sensation on the nipples!!

They come in 2 colors, pink and blue, mine is a beautiful shade of blue. They also have a nice metallic sheen to them that lends them to being quite pretty without being too girly or anything. The blue ones would be just fine for a man who likes nipple clamps but isn't very feminine.

Each clamp has 2 finger pads on it so you can squeeze them open. The clamps have 2 pads on them so you're not smooshing your nipples with metal. The pads are not soft though and they are textured, so you will get plenty of pinchy-ness from these.

The thing about clover clamps is that they are not adjustible like tweezer clamps are. You get whatever pressure these put on and there's no changing it.

Theoretically you could also put one of these on your clit with the other just hanging for added pressure or for use as a "leash" should something like that whet your appetite.

The reason though that mine are a disappointment is that one is smaller than the other. I can hold them up next to each other and genuinely see the difference in size. This however is a one off; I know many who have this pair of nipple clamps that swear by them! It's actually so small that even if I squeeze my nipple small I can't fit it inside the clamp, so I'm only able to use one of the clover clamps which is sort of moot. I am keeping them however, because I plan on getting a second pair and then having this pair (well, sans the too small one) will let me have a back up should I need to replace a part on the new one. (You never know!)

For cleaning them I'd just run water over them, gently scrub them clean and then pat them dry. I would not leave them sitting wet for any length of time. For storage just toss them in your toy box! They *could* scratch another toy though, so make sure whatever else is in the box is protected. Or put these in a small pouch -- they do not come with one.

I do highly recommend these if you like a tighter pair of clamps. I'd put them at about a 3-4 on a 1-5 scale, 5 being tightest, with tweezer clamps being a 2-3.
