I was lucky enough to receive this Collar with Nipple Clamps made by Spartacus in the mail the other day. I wanted to wait until I was with my partner to open the box and try it out. I had to wait a whole week, but man, it was worth it.

The first thing that I noticed when I opened the box the collar arrived in was that it was packaged in clear plastic that was sealed at both ends. I was happy about this because I am always curious about packaging when it comes to D/s/bondage gear. Once I ordered a collar and it just came in a box. I didn't know if someone else had previously used it or not, so I sent it back. Not the case with this collar, as it came packaged nice and neat, which made me happy.

The second thing I noticed (to our delight) was how heavy the collar and chains were. The collar is made out of two strips of real leather; one strip approximately 1.5 inches wide with another strip about 1 inch wide on top. Both strips of leather are fastened together with 10 grommet type fixtures. In the middle of the collar is a "D" ring which holds the 12 inch chains. On the tip of each chain are adjustable clamps with rubber tips. The collar itself has 10 punched holes in the top strip, so you can wear this as tight or as loose as you need/want. Finally, the buckle on the collar is just like your average belt buckle, and is very easy to fasten.

When my partner fastened the collar around my neck, I really loved feeling the weight of the leather and also of the chains dangling down my chest. The coolness of the chains really got me going, too. But it wasn't until he squeezed the clamps on my nipples that I really got turned on.

The thing about these clamps is that, even though they are adjustable, they are very tight. If you are new to nipple play or are curious about it, I would not recommend this collar. If you like the pain and pleasure that these types of clamps offer, I highly recommend this item. The clamps provide the perfect amount of pinch and the chains are just the right length to tug and pull on. The rubber tips on the clamps are comfortable and makes wearing the collar for long periods of time very enjoyable. Just having this collar with clamps on made me so hot I could barely stand it...in the absolute best way, of course!

The only gripe I have about this collar (and why I couldn't give it 5 stars) is that I can only fasten it on the second notch as it seems to be constructed for people with smaller/thinner necks. It measures approximately 16" around (this is when it's buckled on the first notch), so with that in mind, we could never use this on my partner as he's got a much thicker neck than me. Keep that in mind if you're looking to purchase this for a partner who is on the thicker side, as it may not fit. But that's my only issue with this wonderful collar.

I still really love this collar. I'm having more and more fun with it, both with and without a partner. I highly recommend purchasing one of these if you're into nipple play.
