I bought these on a whim, after months of wanting to try out nipple clamps.

They came packaged on card stock and I lost one of the rubber tips while removing them from the package. I wasn't too bummed out because as it turns out, I prefer the metal tips uncovered. The first thing I noticed about the clamps was how lightweight they are - I was expecting the beads to have a bit of weight to them, but they are very light. When I had them on, I couldn't feel a difference between holding them up myself and letting them swing down. This could be a great trait for a beginner to nipple play, or a nuisance to those of us looking for a little more oomph to our toys.

The beads really add to the aesthetics of the clamps, and they look beautiful on. I was surprised at how beautiful they are considering the price - I expected them to look cheap, but they look great in person.

The clamps themselves were easy to put on and take off once my nipples were hard, and the ring slides easily up and down the prongs to increase or decrease pressure. They're ideal for a beginner, really, or someone interested in only a little pressure. They could even work for someone just looking for the visual appeal of the beads. But for me, they were a little lackluster. It's possible that the tweezer style clamps just aren't for me, but the pressure wasn't quite enough to get me going. If I put them on and tugged on them, it was a lot better, so I would maybe be interested in the same tweezer style with added weight, but I think I'm going to go for either the butterfly clamp style or a different style of adjustable clamp with a little more strength.

Ultimately these just weren't what I was looking for, but they would still be great for anyone interested in lighter play.

I've started liking these more as I've figured out how to use them with increased pressure. I'd still recommend a stronger pair for those looking for more intense play, but they're cute enough that I don't regret the purchase.
