These clamps came in the mail about two months ago. They came in cheap packaging. They are light and thin, and are possibly aluminum. On the ends of each clamp is a thin piece of white string which easily comes untied, especially when tossed into bags for transportation.

I had an opportunity to use these clamps recently on my current girlfriend. We started with some restraints, a blindfold, and some clothespins. She did fine with clothespins on her nipples and labia, so after a little bit of flogging her inner thighs I moved forward with these clamps. She had not complained thus far into the scene. I removed the clothespins from her nipples, and slowly, carefully introduced these clamps to her areolas. I proceeded at a slow and careful pace because she had never played with clamps before, so this was a courtesy. Within twenty seconds of the clamps being placed on her nipples she was screaming our safeword. Once the scene was finished we discussed what the issue was, because I personally loved using them on her. The pressure was not an issue for her, and she didn't find them to be intimidating, but rather the ridged rubber pads on each side of the clamping piece caused severe discomfort and pain.

A little while after the scene we looked to her nipples again, still experiencing some pain, to find that the ridges on the clamps had caused enough damage to cause swelling to her nipples. She refuses to use these clamps again. I am a bit of a sexual sadist, so I will be using them again, just not with someone as sensitive as her. The complete opposite effect was when one of my ex's came from NJ for a visit, and was almost brought to orgasm by the clamps alone. This truly boils down to a matter of personal preference, as well as ability to handle levels of pain. My ex girlfriend is a pain slut and my current girlfriend is not. Although the clamps are flimsy and thin, they pack enough of a wallop to keep me satisfied. In closing, I'll say that if you intend on using these clamps, don't be so sensitive.
