Nipplettes - sex toy by Cal Exotics - review by MuffysPinguLove

I've always been interested in nipple play, but I was too intimidated by the thought of pain on my sensitive areas to try it. It didn't help that most of the nipple clamps I had looked at were made of metal and had little teeth. I don't know about you, but the thought of these scary looking little clamps turning my nipples into Swiss cheese or tearing them off altogether scared me. Then I stumbled across the Nipplettes which not only had an adorable name, but also seemed to be a nipple play option that was a little more my speed.

The Nipplettes by Cal Exotics are made out of smooth, light purple, phthalates free, rubber-coated plastic. I love the way rubber-cote feels and I think it's an awesome material for a nipple clamp, especially for a beginner. They look like little plastic clothes pins, except they are more rounded and each have a plastic screw sticking out of them. I also really like the idea of being able to adjust the intensity of these nipple clamps. The little plastic screw on each Nipplette can be used to adjust how tightly the clamps close. These screws are a great idea; however, they come up short during actual use. Unless your nipples are on the larger side, it's quite possible you'll never really use the screw to make the clamps any bigger. To make the clamps bigger you turn the screw until the opening of the clip reaches the desired width. To make the clamp opening smaller you turn the screw to the left. Personally, I take the screw out more often than not, because I generally use them on the smallest size and the screw can get in the way.

Another great feature of the Nipplettes is that they are wireless. Many of the vibrating clamp options on the market are wired to a remote; however, the Nipplettes are each controlled by a push button on the back of the clip. I like that the Nipplettes are controlled separately, because you have the option to use one clamp at a time. When using these clamps you don't have to worry about accidentally pushing the button, because it has to be pushed down until it clicks. Pushing down on the button once turns the vibrations on and pushing it again turns it off. Each Nipplette takes three watch batteries, which is a drawback, because watch batteries can be expensive. I was pleasantly surprised that these clips came with a set of batteries in them and a backup set. I've used the clamps multiple times and my first set of batteries is still going strong. So, I don't think I'll have to buy batteries for them anytime soon. To change the batteries in the Nipplettes you merely unscrew the back of the clamp where the button is located. The three watch batteries slide face down into the clamp. Inside the battery compartment is an o-ring to keep water out. The packaging states that the Nipplettes are waterproof; however, I tried submerging them and got a little bit of moisture in the battery compartment. So I would categorize them as being splash proof, but I would probably avoid submerging them for a prolonged period of time. Always make sure the battery compartment on each clamp is tightly closed before putting them anywhere near water.

Each Nipplette is about 2 3/4" long. Their small size makes the fact that they take watch batteries understandable, because anything larger would have increased the size of the clamp. The tip of each Nipplette is slightly pointed and because of this I had a little bit of an issue getting the clamps to stay. If the tip of the clamps had been more rounded I think they would be able to hold on better. I find that these clamps stay better when clipped with the button pointing down. They also stay better if used while lying down. I wouldn't be too active when wearing these clips, because they'll probably fall off. The Nipplettes can be clipped to the nipples, labia, clitoris or any other area you desire. They can even be clipped to the scrotum without having to worry about causing pain, since they don't have a very tight grasp. The clips can also be used without clipping and can instead be held against the erogenous zones. If you're looking for a tight fitting clamp these may not be the choice for you. Advanced users may be a little bored with these looser fitting clamps.
