I love nipple stimulation so I was pretty excited to try out Silicone Breast Enhancers by California Exotics. It seemed like a pretty clever idea. Instead of vibrating nipple clamps, they work more like vibrating nipple ticklers.

They arrived bubble wrapped in a plain brown box. I opened everything up and began inspecting it. One of the nice features that was mentioned on the outside of the box is that you can register this product online. I'm not sure what kind of warranty it has on it, but I was able to leave some feedback for the company in my registration form.

Inside of the box everything was wrapped in plastic bags. There were two clear, solid silicone cups, twelve watch sized batteries and the two silver bullets. The bullets are just like the ones you get with most other toys that have insertable bullets, small and silver with a black button on the end that turns them on and off. The vibrations of the bullets are initially pretty strong and quiet, but they weaken fairly quickly and shut off completely after about fifteen to twenty minutes of use. My guess is that it's due to overheating. The bullet was very warm when I checked it and so were the batteries. The strong vibrations were back once the bullet had time to cool off.

The cups are made of solid silicone and are about 3.5 inches in diameter. There are twenty nine flexible nubs in the center of the cups. Most of the nubs are about 1/4 inch long, but the 5 in the center are about 3/4 inch long. All of them are soft and transmit the vibrations fairly well.

The cup is designed to suction to your breast directly over your nipple. I find this is easily accomplished by flipping the cup completely inside out, holding your breast to it, and the flipping it back once it's pressed against your breast. I found that it held fine by itself or with a water-based lube. You'll want to avoid silicone based lubes since they can damage the cups. There is a slight odor to them, but it isn't unpleasant. I don't know why you would want to taste them, but in case you do it doesn't have any sort of flavor. The cups are waterproof as well, so if you wanted to try them in a shower or bathtub it would be alright. It might even make the suction hold better for some.

The cups don't really add anything aesthetically. They are actually a little awkward looking and might even be a turn off for some people. Due to the size, they will work alright for small to average sized nipples. If you've got large nipples they may not stimulate your entire nipple, but you may still find them enjoyable.

Cleaning is fairly simple, even with the nubs. You could wash with soap and warm water. I sprayed mine with before and after toy cleaner, rinsed it and then dried it with a towel. If you needed to, you could remove the bullets and boil them or wash them in the dishwasher without soap to sterilize them.

We tried these a few different ways. Some were more exciting than others. First we suctioned them to my breasts and turned them on. I wasn't really impressed with them. The sensation was nice, but I think the nubs are backwards. It would probably be better if the nubs in the center were the same length or shorter than the other so that they actually tickled. Since they're longer they press up against the nipple and stop vibrating.

We suctioned them to my husband's nipples. They were a little better for him. The longer nubs actually worked for him because he didn't have breast tissue inside of the cup to squish the nubs. Unfortunately they didn't stay suctioned very long against his skin because of the lack of breast tissue.

I suctioned one of the cups to my vulva. It was a very, very nice feeling. The nubs and vibration were a great way to stimulate me and get me turned on. I don't know that it would be strong enough to cause an orgasm. Also, since they overheated and stopped working after about fifteen minutes, I doubt it would last long enough to lead to an orgasm. It would be nice for foreplay though.

We tried suctioning them to my husbands balls. The suction didn't work, but I still held the cup on and he liked that sensation. I'm sure if we had fiddled with it a little longer we could have gotten it to stick.

Then I had the most brilliant idea ever.

I said 'Let's put them back on my boobs and you can titty fuck me!'. My husband really enjoyed the vibration it sent all the way through my breast tissue. The only problem I can foresee with this is that the cups may lose suction as you adjust your breasts. But this was definitely our favorite way to use the cups.

On top of these not actually working the way they were intended to, the bullets took no time to die completely. Even replacing the batteries didn't work to revive them. They're not really designed for women with breasts as large as mine and they aren't really worth the hassle for anything else considering there are toys that do it much better than they do.
