The Nipple Luscious Vibrating Suction|Nipple luscious vibrating suction cups are a difficult toy to review, because they have some really good points as well as a lot of bad points. The toy itself is a suction cup, lined with ticklers, that goes over the nipple and adheres by pressing a pump. The toys also contain vibrators to further stimulate the nipples beyond just the suction. I am a fair novice to nipple play, but thought they looked entertaining and would be nice to enhance “alone time” sessions. I have not yet tried these with a partner, so I am not sure if the suction would be strong enough to hold them on during partner play; also, the vibrating units are quite large and stick out 2” or so, so can be quite unwieldy. However, the suction is more than adequate for solo play.

Let me start with the bad points about this toy. The rubber material is not an issue, since they are used for nipple play. The motors are PLENTY strong, but unfortunately, as mentioned in the other reviews, they do not conduct much of the vibration down to the nipple itself. Also, these take a whopping 4 watch batteries EACH, for a total of 8 BATTERIES!!! Wow! The toys are also virtually entirely silent, even on their highest setting. The speed of vibration is controlled by a twist dial at the top of the vibrating unit.

Now for the good! These babies have some serious suction action going on, which can be adjusted to meet your comfort level—everywhere from firm and secure to slightly painful. The ticklers are not particularly long or soft, but they do provide some stimulation to the nipple tips. And while the vibrations are not conducted sufficiently to the suction cups, the vibration still CAN be felt as a mild flutter that is still quite enjoyable, at least to the nipple novice. When looking for something more subtle and teasing, and less pinching than nipple clamps|Nipple Clamps, I think these are an excellent choice!

After experimenting with these a little more, I made an interesting discovery: the vibration transmits much more powerfully to the suction cups if you are sitting upright rather than lying down. Sitting up, the vibration is actually noticeable and rather enjoyable, if not extremely powerful. Still, I find this product much more effective when used in this way. It's not as convenient as lying down, but the difference is definitely significant and the sensations worthwhile!
