Fresh beaded nipple clamps - nipple clamps discontinued by PHS International - review by Nashville

The Fresh Beaded Nipple Clamps were designed it seems for the girly girl inside us all, for those of us that want to look pretty, feel pretty, yet be spanked.. very, very hard. Fresh is a fabulous line of powdery blue, bright pink, and nauseatingly cute bead work that would make any vanilla person say "Okay!" to light BDSM.

I do not have very much experience with nipple clamps, in fact, this is the very first pair that I've ever purchased for myself. I had pierced nipples years ago, so it's apparent that I love my nipples and I know how to stimulate them. I enjoy a little bit of ache and ouch so naturally these were a perfect transition from nibbling lips, gnawing teeth, and pinching fingers. In recent weeks I've started to follow the mantra of "pain is pleasure" but after using the Beaded Nipple Clamps I wondered, where exactly was the ‘pain'?

Let me suggest right now to forgo trying to put them on by yourself. Unfortunately, these tweezers pinch closed by a ring that you can slide upward or downward to increase/decrease the intensity of tightness. The ring seemed to be too small, it was a struggle sliding it upward (even when they weren't attached to my nipples.) I thought that maybe it was because they were new, that the ring was giving me trouble because it needed a little grease but even using silicone lubricant didn't help, all it managed to do was make the clamps slippery to hold on top of everything else. The ring was just too small, it made it impossible for me to secure the clamps to my nipples. Even after I had thought I had the clamps on firmly, as soon as I stood up or tried to engage in any sort of activity they fell off. It was sheer frustration trying to put these on by myself, I had to call in my husband to save the day.

He seemed to have just as much trouble as I did but I will admit two sets of hands made using these worlds better. He slid the ring up as far as he could, which was actually not very far as my nipples were too big! As tight as he could pinch the tweezers wasn't really very tight at all. I didn't feel any sort of painful or intense sensations, all I could really feel was a light tingle. It was disappointing! After struggling for 20 minutes to finally wear them, once I had them on I didn't receive the sort of pinch I had hoped for. I removed the rubber casing hoping to find some sort of little torturous treat underneath and was surprised that the ends of the tweezers had "teeth". I had expected them to bite into my nipple but they didn't, it was a little bit more of the pain I was going after but not by much.

These nipple clamps were surprisingly long, using a measuring tape I realized the entire length of these clamps was 4 ½" not the 3" I had expected. I have large and heavy breasts for my frame, when I had the clamps attached as firmly as possible to my nipples they dangled low against my upper abdomen. Their length felt awkward and I kept questioning whether or not they looked sexy. Looking in the mirror I had the thought that the clamps made my breasts look saggy, I couldn't decide whether or not I felt good about my breasts or if these were poorly showcasing their voluminous shape. I can only imagine that women with smaller, perkier breasts would be thrilled with the way they look, but I with my large bust was not. I am also certain that women with smaller nipples would have a much easier time using these and that they'd probably work the way they should. Unfortunately, they were not designed with big breasts in mind and yet again I found another product that left my tits feeling slighted and discriminated against.

These clamps are cute but they're too long and too narrow for women with large breasts and large nipples. As Tim Gunn says, "Make it work!", I couldn't. I tried and I tried and I tried but it was a flop. In the end there wasn't pain and there wasn't pleasure, there was just a frustrated woman sitting on the edge of the bed staring at these adorable nipple clamps thinking they were a complete "hot mess".

When these arrived I was afraid that the beads may fall off, they've held up really well. It still looks as gorgeous as it did the very first time I opened the box but unfortunately they just don't fit.
