When I first received the bell nipple clamps, my first thought was about how cute they were! They're long and sleek looking and have the cutest little silver bells on the ends of them. Now, I am new to the world of nipple toys, and I had always shied away from clamps because first of all, my nipples are incredibly sensitive and I always thought they would be too painful and second of all because my nipples are inverted, and I was not sure how well they would work.

The clamps really surprised me. I had heard good things about Spartacus products and these clamps were no exception. They're very versatile, from a light pressure at the loosest setting to a much more intense pressure at the higher settings. The clamps also have removable rubber nubs at the end that reveal what look like little teeth, which would make them great for more advance BDSMers. I tried them without the rubber ends at one of the looser settings and found them to provide a very interesting, somewhat intense sensation, much different to how they feel in conjunction with the rubber ends intact.

They're also very user-friendly. It's very easy to get the rubber ends on and off and to tighten them by sliding up the metal ring, and they seem to be quite durable—put together well with sturdy materials, so that even with rough play they would hold up. Also importantly, they worked with my inverted nipples, and seem as though they would work for nipples of a variety of different sizes, inverted or not.

The bells on the clamps are also very sensitive, ringing with the slightest movement, which opens up a huge range of sexual possibilities. I'm excited to try them on my submissive partner in conjunction with some light bondage or perhaps a nice flogger.

Overall, the clamps get five stars from me for quality and versatility and for a wide range of use from BDSM beginners to the much more experienced.
