Ok, probably time for a little TMI here, but then again, I review sex toys on a public website, so what the hell? I do not have nipples that form nice little bulbs when they get erect; instead, mine kind of shrivel up into hard points. My husband thinks it is incredibly cool, but I have spent years looking longingly at non-piercing nipple jewelry|Body jewelry that, alas, did not seem designed for me. After reading some reviews from those I trust, and given the low price point, I decided to give these a try. I am glad I did!

Now, these bulbs have not altered the overall shape of my nipples. However, the suction on the bulbs is VERY strong, and with the help of the little stretchy rings, I was actually able to achieve the round little nipple tips for which I had always longed!

You operate the toy by sliding a clear rubber ring over the mouth of the bulb, placing the bulb over your nipple, sucking the nipple in, and sliding the ring onto the erect nipple. Generally this process is pretty easy—it worked like a charm for me the first few times! However, after repeated uses in fairly quick succession, I found the little rings did not stay in place as well as they originally had. I do not know if my skin got stretched out or the oils from my skin left the rings with less gripping power, but I did notice a change. Not one to be daunted, though, from something with such good results, I washed off the rings and put the toy away to try for another day.

The Nipple Bulb|Nipple bulb only comes with four rings, but I like the fact they are clear and not black—I just find the look more attractive. Unfortunately, the rings are all the same size, while I would have probably preferred something a tad smaller to grip the nipples tighter.

I tried putting some nipple enhancement cream|Reviews: Nipple delight on my buds while they were in the rings (perhaps another reason the rings failed to stay on with extended play), and found my nipples more sensitive than ever before!

The Nipple Bulb is not a miracle toy, but for a reasonable price it allows you to pump up your nipples into hard, pert little bulbs—a definite plus for those of us whose nipples are not naturally formed that way!
