Fashionistas nipple suckers - bdsm toy by Icon Brands - review by anonkitty

I have been eyeing these for the longest time. They are very pretty to look at, but the glass gave me some pause, seeing how I am relatively rough with my toys. In the end, though, curiosity won out.

The Fashionistas nipple suckers are miniature, glass pumps for nipples that are meant to stimulate the nerves there. On the box (parenthesis is mine): "Two perfectly shaped glass vacuum tubes attached to an assertive (yes, assertive) rubber suction bulb for raising and extending the nipple. Just slide the black erection rings off the tube, onto the nipple to "hold the pose." It's the Fashionista approach to life and love...where pain meets pleasure and orgasmic bliss is just a sting away."

For me, they are definitely more of a teaser, something to get your engines going as opposed to seriously revving them up. (Though that might be because I am used to using the clover clamps.)

The shapes of it makes cleaning difficult, especially if used on areas aside from nipples and breasts, so I have restricted my use to areas above the waist.

The box claims that the bulbs are phthalate-free. The bulbs are made of rubber, just thin enough for the suckers to be squeezed easily. However, the flat ends of the bulbs is quite thin, which makes me worry that the bulbs may fall apart after frequent use. There is no particular smell to it.

The glass chambers have the thickness of a wineglass, which made it a little worrisome when I was trying to stretch the smaller rubber rings over the tips of the suckers.

Speaking of the rubber rings, the suckers comes with a pair of rubber rings, which comes in four sizes (so four pairs of four different sized rings). Their sizes are as thus: 0.6", 0.5", 0.4", and 0.3", approximately. They have some stretch to them and are meant to keep the nipples erect after suctions are applied.

While these are very pretty to look at, the shape of it makes it difficult to clean. So far, I have taken to just taking a cotton swab and swiping the inside of the glass chambers to clean it.

Just as you would with anything that works with suction, you squeeze the bulb, hold it over the part that you wish to apply suction to, and release the bulb. To take it off, you can just squeeze the bulb again, although I have found that I can easily take them off by just tugging them off.

The rubber rings that comes with it are supposed to be slipped over the tip of the suckers, then while the suction is still going, you slip the ring down and onto your nipple, keeping it erect. However, the tip is also around 0.6", which makes the two larger rings a snug fit, but the smaller ones difficult to secure.

I think these suckers should fit most nipples though. Although the opening is around 0.6", suction gives it a little flexibility in terms of sizes. I am probably on the larger end of the spectrum, but they worked well enough for me.

These things really do suck. And despite the weight of the glass and the bulb, I can apply it and have it hanging off of my arm while I hold my arm vertical, so it definitely stays pretty well. However, it does not stay on well enough that a steady enough tug would not dislodge it.

When I purchased this, I was hoping for something that is more, er, aggressive. However, it does stimulate and I would recommend this for anyone who is curious about sensory play.

The suckers came in a clear, plastic box, with the printed name "Nipple Suckers." Therefore it's definitely not something that I would recommend opening in public.

Aside from the blurb that I have included earlier in this review, there is not much else to the box. However, it serves well as storage for the suckers, especially since there are compartments for the rubber rings.
