This set of nipple suckers by California Exotics can be used alone for extra stimulation during solo play or with a partner as long as they can manage to look at your ginormous hot pink nipples without giggling. Because they are fairly gentle, these would be a great introduction to nipple play for someone who is interested but doesn't want to dive into more serious clamps and such. With some careful placement, you can also use one on your clit.

Additionally, you can stick one to the end of your nose, put on some giant shoes, and pile into a teeny tiny car with 12 of your best friends.

You obviously want to be careful not to leave these on too long. Nobody wants to explain to their partner that a giant pink clown nose gave them a hickey.

Once you have these attached securely, you can tap, flick, or tug on them a bit without losing suction or one popping off. To remove, you can either just pull them off or squeeze a bit first to release the suction and then remove.

The material that these are made of (PVC) was quite a bit firmer than I expected. You really have to squeeze to get good suction. The nice thing about PVC is that it is quite easy to clean; it just takes warm water and soap or a toy cleaner, and it is compatible with both water-based or silicone lubes if you should choose to use these in a way that you felt the need for lube.

I found that the firmness of the PVC softened a tiny bit as I played with these more (there's something oddly therapeutic about just playing with these in your hands) but not a significant change. If I were designing these, I would have made them a bit more flexible.

I could smell them when I opened the package and if I got close and sniffed after that, but I actually like the smell.

These are pink. They are really, really pink. Barbie saw these and threw up a little. If you ever get lost while wearing these, fear not as NASA will see your nipples from space.

They are also quite a bit larger than I expected. If these are mini, I'm kind of afraid to see the bigger version!

My first thought when I saw them on was that they looked like neon pink clown noses. I cracked up when I pulled up some other reviews to look for tips on getting them to work better and saw that other reviewers instantly thought clown nose too. I guess the visual image is just THAT strong. I really wish they were available in a sort of beige color or even a pale pink so they weren't so cartoon-ish.

The shape is a basic rounded bulb. It is a little bit like the top of a turkey baster and operates on a similar principle. The opening that fits around your nipple is about an inch wide, so unless you have some really impressive nipples, they should fit.

There's a fair chance that if you left them laying around, someone who saw them wouldn't know what they are for. Although the color is bright enough to be seen from space, the design wouldn't make someone immediately guess "Hey, I bet those go on her nipples!", but they might schedule an intervention to keep you from enrolling in clown school.

There aren't really any features, functions, or controls to these other than the very basic equation of: you squeeze, they suck. You don't need batteries, there are no settings and nothing high tech. This is just simplicity, so you don't have to worry about parts breaking or wearing down, pieces falling off, etc.

I think that the most frustrating part for me is that the amount of suction you get each time can be unpredictable. Most of the time when I apply them, I just feel a light to moderate suction, but every now and then, I will either get an intense suction or a sensation so light I don't really feel anything. On one hand, the variety is nice, but I find that it can be annoying to have to reapply them a few times before I find the level I want.

These stay on quite well if you are laying fairly still. I tried to wear them around the house under clothing for a few minutes, but they kept popping off. I haven't had the opportunity to try them during sex yet, but if you are in a position where your partner's chest is going to be rubbing up against yours or where your breasts are going to be doing a lot of bouncing, these probably aren't going to stay on.

The Nipple Suckers arrived in a plastic, clamshell-style package with a cardboard insert. No instructions are provided which is a shame. You could use the package to keep them in, but I found it to be too bulky compared to the size of the suckers. It is much easier to just attach one sucker to the other (via suction) and toss them in your toy drawer.

I have found these Nipple Suckers to be fun for a little extra something during solo play. They're a neat little addition to your toy box, but I wouldn't call them a must-have.

As someone with fairly small, flat nipples, I would probably find the visual of suddenly having giant nipples a little arousing if it weren't for the comical color. These are also available in purple, but I'm not sure that would be much of a step up!
