If there’s anything lacking in the sex toys I’ve amassed over the years, nipple clamps would be the culprit. I have super-sensitive nipples, and even in my time in the quote-on-quote lifestyle, I developed a sort of love/hate relationship with the nasty little buggers. That said, until the Sex Kitten Nips – Adjustable Gator Clamps came into my life, I hadn’t had anything stronger than standard clothespins on my nips for quite a while.
I missed rough nipple-play: the rush of adrenaline and endorphins the restriction of blood flow causes… the way that it accentuates the pulsing in my clit… the inevitable screech of pain that jumps out of my lungs when the clamps are taken off (especially if they’re yanked off) and the blood rushes back in leading to all kinds of tingling sensations.
Sex Kitten Nips has a whole line of nipple clamps and adornments in various styles. Their Gator Clamps are adjustable. Since the screw at the top of the clamps functions like a stopper, helping you to control the intensity of their “bite,” I wasn’t too nervous to try ‘em out, even after being on a nipple-play hiatus.Keep in mind that if the screw at the top of each clamp is unscrewed all the way, the clamps bite down with maximum oomph and intensity. The more that you turn the screws, the wider the mouth of the clamps are forced open, thereby limiting the depth (and intensity) that they can bite down on your nipples with (or clit, for those more adventurous pain-sluts). Make sense?I started with the screws loosened all the way, because I’m like that sometimes, jumping in with two feet, and wanting to test the max limits as an attempt to quickly learn what I’m getting myself into — or at least get an idea, if I can’t figure out the whole game! I exhaled forcefully as the clamps bit down on my nipples, and additional blood rushed to my clit, leaving it engorged and throbbing with desire. My juices started to drip down my thighs, and it wasn’t long before I was yearning for some full-on BDSM-play like I used to do regularly in the past. These clamps are firm little things. Each clamp measures 1.75 inches long, though the actual part that clamps onto your nips is only ¾” in length. The black rubber grip (which coats the metal clamp) measures ?” long. This pair of gator clamps are a pink-colored metal, connected with a 12” long matching chain. The chain is relatively heavy for nipple clamps, a bit weightier than the chain I’m used to from my standard-issue Clovers. The bite of the Sex Kitten Nips – Adjustable Gator Clamps is a bit weaker than the bite of Clover Clamps, yet certainly stronger than what you’ll get from wooden clothespins (with a decent, tight spring).Once on, the Sex Kitten Nips – Adjustable Gator Clamps were there to stay, no matter how much tugging, bouncing, undulating, or bending I happened to do with them on. Of course, they can be ripped-off if pulled hard enough, but I’m not planning to test that out anytime soon! (I’ve learned from my past play experiences that any pair of nipple clamps, no matter how secure the grip, can be ripped off with enough willpower and force. The pain caused by so doing, however, is another story, altogether!)I like the Sex Kitten Nips – Adjustable Gator Clamps, even though I’m used to Alligator Clamps having sharp teeth, and these babies are completely smooth. But when I attempted to alleviate some of the pressure, by turning the screws, I found that the clamps fell right off of me. Even just a quarter turn caused them to fall off of my nipples. Any turning significant enough to loosen the grip of the clamps led to them jumping ship completely. That sucked.
Your mileage may vary, of course, and I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the size and shape of your nipples. But no matter how I clamped them (nipple only, nipple + part of areola, other breast tissue, even clit, etc.), I came up with the same result. No matter how much or how little skin I caught between the vice of the clamps, attempting to loosen them in any way whatsoever rendered them completely ineffective.
For reference, as mentioned in an earlier review, the average female nipple is supposedly around 0.27 inches in diameter. Mine are closer to an inch when hard. It seems that one would need to have significantly large nipples for the Sex Kitten Nips Adjustable Gator Clamps to actually function as adjustable. Perhaps the trick is in the depth of protrusion of the nipples, and not the diameter. What do you think, Lovelies? If you have any tips where adjustable nipple clamps are concerned, I’d love to hear ‘em!
In any case, I like these clamps. I do feel a bit wimpy when I can’t take them for too long, especially since the pink metal seems to be taunting me. It takes time to build a pain-tolerance back up, though, and, of course, the more pleasure you throw in the mix, the higher your pain-tolerance will be! These will be a project for me over the next days and weeks… and a delightful one, at that!
