The Fresh Beaded Nipple Clamps from PHS International are a nice addition to any collection. I would say that these clamps would be best for beginners as they aren't really strong enough for pain play. They tend to slip off very easily with even the slightest tug. The clamps are better for use to spice up an outfit, or lack thereof. With such a pretty design, it is sure to catch your partners' eye.

Because it is a basic clamp, this can also be used to clamp other various body parts to add a little more fun to play time, though the beads may get in the way in certain areas.

The original product pictures best show the look as the details are quite small.

The Beaded clamps are made of Metal. Metal is a phthalate-free material of great strength and versatility that is found in nature, but processed in various ways for use in consumer items. All metal sex toys are hard, hygienic, need very little lubrication, carry vibration extremely well, and warm to body temperature easily.

Metal is a 9 on the safety scale which raises the quality on its own.

There are also rubber tips on the clamps which can be removed if you wish to do so. The beads are a dark and light blue plastic.

Each clamp is just less than 5 inches long. The actual clamp section is just barely less than 3 inches. The clamp itself is about a 1/2 inch wide untouched and about a 1/4 inch when fully clamped. On the clamp portion there are rubber tips and an 'O' shaped ring. Like a basic clamp, it is tightened when the ring is push up.

The bottom of the clamp is a cute design. There are first 2 beads, the top one being a darker blue and the bottom one more of a baby blue and larger in shape. Under that at the bottom of the design there is a very adorable starfish. Also made from metal and silver in color.

Nipple clamps aren't all the high on the difficulty scale to figure out. You put your nipple between the clamps and tighten the ring. Though with these you wouldn't want to use it for pain play because they just aren't tight enough. They also tend to slip off occasionally with the slightest tug.

I would say that the main function with these particular clamps is to basically look pretty.

As previously stated, these are made of metal, which typically makes them quite easy to clean. And since most people do not stick them in many orifices, you shouldn't have to take 'extra special' care of them.

Metal toys can be boiled or be bleached (10% solution), are dishwasher safe (top shelf), or can be washed with soap and water.

The clamps came in a clear plastic casing. It was actually quite big for such a small product. A lot of wasted plastic. I would recommend just recycling the package and finding somewhere smaller to store them.

Though I enjoy wearing these simply for the look, they really weren't all that exciting. They didn't heighten any sensitivity or cause any pain. I enjoy the pain aspect when it comes to clamps, so to me, these are really just for show. But for someone with a lot more sensitivity, or simply wants to look sexy. This is definitely for you!

I found with the basic silver and blue colors, these match a lot of the outfits I have and do really well with adding a little something to my look. I only wear them for a little sex appeal when on cam or snapping pictures, but for actual play time, I have far better items. If I had known ahead of time that they weren't very strong, I would have skipped the purchase completely.
