If you need to make sure these are adjustable on the "light" end you'll get a LOT more enjoyment out of these if you forget the "righty tighty, lefty loosey" rhyme you learned!

"Since this item was our very first jump into fun purchases for each other," I'd mentioned in advance, "the keyword for nipple clamps is 'adjustable'." Now, I'm no stranger to them, but it's been a while. A little nervous on the first night after he gave them to me, I tossed them on under a loose sweater so I could wear them all through dinner and surprise him sometime during dinner. Welp... sometimes those things don't come up. So there I sat, and while it certainly felt good on -my- end of things, it was sure a "yipe!" the moment when I took them off--but even more of a "duh!" moment when I actually figured out I should have taken 10 seconds to figure out how to adjust them.

Happy to say, however: Yes, they're nicely adjustable from "as far open as they go" to "as tight as they would shut naturally" and these definitely have the durability factor in them, so they should be in your bag of tricks for a nice long time (Or should I say treasure chest? Naw, that's silly).

That said, while these certainly aren't the "pretty girl nipple clamps" some might be looking for (heck, get some of those too if you're of the genre), they're "ROWR!" looking and feeling--they are kinda bad-ass looking (and quite-so feeling, when they're all the way tight!). Plus, if fully clamped on--do we like that they can take a pretty decent "tug" on the chain without going anywhere? Yepperoo, we do!

So, yes, turn them the OTHER WAY (righty loosey!) to lighten up the pressure! Particularly if you end up sitting through through the whole darn dinner without an opportunity to mention you've got 'em on! Adjustment tip: Durability-wise, I prefer opening these up first, if I'm going to turn the screws to loosen them. I slightly fear cross-threading the screws--really the only small construction concern I have on these.

(And...for added inspiration, there are 2 clips and a chain, which could potentially be quite fun with two people!)

While as some have said, these certainly would be pretty obvious under clothing, they're great fun as they're entirely adjustable, and they look (from Mr. Visual) "smoking hot bad ass sexy" (I'm assuming he means as opposed to "delicate lovely sexy".)

While no nipple piercing exists here yet, this is a 'be careful' area: I think even if you clipped way back, the clip may slip forward, and the desire to yank this chain is pretty strong, so, ohmy, take care of yourself if you clip to any existing jewelry.

Definitely enjoyable for any level from light to rough of the 'in private' experience, and perhaps a little naughty 'what can we get away with in public?' moment.
