The toy came in a discreet brown box with Eden's standard packaging! The toy then came in a blue/black e-stim box with the toy wrapped up inside. You will need at least two other toys before purchasing this toy: the e-stim controller and a little bit of lube.

The wire is pretty long, so if you have big boobs or even small ones, the clamps have a lot of room to stretch and go and follow your boob length without it being a hassle. The clamps are pretty easy to use in terms of the snaps to open and close them. The padding on the clamp is a small circle that's a bit of a soft rubber material, but it feels normal and natural.

I really do love these nipple clamps! I've used them a bunch of times now and have had them since February (it's now June). For someone with nipples that don't really feel much with just the vibration and tightness of clamps, this is not always the best sensation; these clamps are it! With a slight tightness and the s-stim sensation, I find these to be a really good sensation for my nipples. Are these my favorite nipple toy? My true and absolute favorite nipple toy in my entire collection of toys is Eden's nipple suction and e-stim toy (which is not this toy), but these clamps are my true favorite second I always grab!

One thing that's hard about this toy is that the grip of the clamp can be slippery, especially since you need to apply a pinch of lube to your nipples before using it. The clamps then tend to slip off a bit easier but the lube starts to dry by itself once you've used the toy for about a minute or two. In the beginning, it can be a bit annoying. Also, if you have super large nipples, I think it could still work, but the surface area of the clamp is pretty small, so you might have a harder time with it slipping (or maybe even not!). The padding itself on the clamp isn't hard or uncomfortable. It's not soft either, but it's a pretty decent material that feels normal to your nipple (nothing weird).

I honestly would recommend this toy to a beginner if (1) you're into nipple play and (2) you're looking to try e-stim. I will say that as someone who loves e-stim toys and was new to e-stim, the e-stim controller and this toy are honestly a great way to try out e-stim on a budget, and the toy works immensely well! I
have the controller and at least 3 other e-stim toys from Eden, and I always thought I would never be able to solo try e-stim or I would have to really purchase expensive things, but this is honestly a really affordable and good way to try e-stim!

I use this toy for self-masturbation or even to play with my partner. We both like it. Something natural about this toy is that the wire is long, and you have to be careful of where the wire is and keep an eye out for it whenever you're playing with the controller. You have to be extra careful when you play because you can easily yank the e-stim clamp off (which can hurt) or what's truly painful is when you're not paying attention and you accidentally turn the dial up on the e-stim, so just please be careful and extra diligent when using the toy because it can get painful if you don't pay attention (especially if you're a beginner). Of course, don't just try the highest setting. I always make sure the dial is set at 0 before I start, and I very slowly increase it, wait to see how my body adapts to it, and then move on. I know it's tempting to go fast, but DO NOT. This is e-stim; it's not just vibration. It's literally sending jolts through your body, so be patient!

I usually lay down and put all my OTHER toys in (vaginal, anal). Then, I'll put a pinch of lube on my nipples (very light amount because the clamps slip easily) and put the clamps in. I'll make sure the e-stim box is turned to 0, and then I'll plug it in, turn it on, and increase it based on my needs. I'll keep the e-stim box far away from me so it's easily reachable and doesn't get caught next to me, under me, / behind my pillow. I need to be able to easily access it to change the setting if something feels wrong or goes wrong. The clamps falling off are not a big deal. I will try to put them back on if I can. Sometimes, I can feel the e-stim on my fingers, which makes it hard to put the clamps back on, and I'll turn the dial off on the controller and put the clamps back on.
If the clamps slip because of the lube, I'll try to wipe a bit off and put the clamps back on. That usually does the trick but I never remove ALL of the lube fully. You need even the slightest pinch.

This toy also has basically NO noise (maybe a very small hum/vibration but it's SO small and minimal). You can easily use this anywhere.

You can't really use these as generic nipple clamps, so I wouldn't buy them UNLESS you plan on buy the controller. There's better options for just plain nipple clamps on Eden's website if you're looking for that.
