Upon receiving notification that I was being sent the Upstairs downstairs arousers Nipple clamps by California Exotic, I went to the web site to review the product. It looked interesting enough but the one thing that jumped out to me was that it didn't use a commonly kept battery size. It used watch batteries which are not usually found in my house. However, it did come with batteries plus an extra set, so that was a plus for the product.

When the product arrived, my husband and I were eager to try it out. This was our first experience with nipple clamps and I was a little apprehensive about using them. After putting batteries in and having the butterfly clit stimulators on the other end, the clamps felt a little heavy. This proved to be true when we applied them also. There was no way to adjust the tightness of the clamps and I found them to be uncomfortable. They tended to slip off every time I moved around and we finally gave up using them. The butterfly clit stimulator was a different story. It fluttered over all the right spots. To be so small, they provided strong enough vibrations to get the job done.

Later, we decided to try the Upstairs downstairs arousers clamps again, this time in the hot tub. However we experienced the same problems. The clamps were too heavy for comfort and they continued to slip off. The pressure applied on the nipples was too uncomfortable for me to use and get any satisfaction from. The butterflies worked wonderful in the water and the soft flutters of the wings and antenna felt really good.

I really like the idea of using waterproof vibrators since we have out hot tub and it does provide different sensations. The butterfly clit stimulator part of the product is excellent for use. Perhaps the clamps were too uncomfortable because it was our first experience with them, but I feel it would be a better product if the amount of pressure applied could be adjusted. We are planning on using this product again and working with it as far as the nipple clamps go and will definitely use the clit stimulator part of it again. For people who are more accustomed to using clamps on their nipples, this may work great for them but I did find it a little too uncomfortable for a first time user.

These clamps were definitely not for beginners as I was but I have remained faithful to them, using them frequently and now they are a common item we use.  My nipples seem to know when I am going to use them and become alert and erect when I pull them out.

The vibrations keep them taunt and willing to let the clamps hold on for dear life.  I've learned to enjoy the pain and pinching feeling the clamps provide.  Initially, I did not think I would ever like using them but now I have a totally different opinion of them.  They are worth working with in the long run.
