Fetish Fantasy magnetic clamps by Pipedream - review by Red Vinyl Kitty

"Oooh, shiny!"

I bet that's what you're thinking. Maybe even:

"Ooh, they look so strong!"

Don't be fooled. These things may be pretty, but that's where the gravy train stops. They are absolutely gorgeous from the package and I had such high hopes, but these are absolutely (in my opinion) not suited to either beginners or advanced users. They are not worthy of the name "clamp", and they cannot even be used for decorative purposes. What a shame, and a waste.

The website says these are made of steel. I honestly feel that only the inner magnetic "cones" are probably steel. The outer circle as well as the two bars which hold the magnetic bits have chip marks on them, leading me to believe that these are probably painted, not really steel.

The clamps are intended to have a smooth texture (though, with the chipping, they are not smooth). The clamps each have one big sparkly gem in each side, which I thought would be a pretty decoration for my nipples. The crystal is slightly bumpy, as is a normal crystal. I like it a lot. The clamps do not have any smell or taste to them.

The design of these is a bit difficult to describe, but I'll try my best. What you have here is a circle shape. Drilled into each side of the circle is a bar, which holds onto a small magnet. These basically are a very simple design: slide your nipples in, let go of the two bars on each side of your nipple, and the magnets are supposed to help these stay on.

Do my nipples fit? Yep. No doubt about that. Do these stay on? Well, that's another matter, which we'll get to later. I do think that these are pretty easy to use, and even beginners could figure them out without much trouble, but they just don't work the way they are supposed to, and for that, I can't recommend them.

Gorgeous right out of the package, these let me down in a big way. The truth of the matter is, that they just wouldn't stick to my nipples for more than a brief snapshot. Sad, really. I loved the look of these fresh from the package, but they just weren't built to even stay on. The magnets are weak, and even if your nipples are smaller than a half inch (up to one half inch can fit in the clamps), then they probably will just not stay on very well.

Gorgeous? Yes. Stimulating? Not a chance. My suggestion is to Bedazzle a couple of clothes pins. It is hard to enjoy even a mild pinch, if the clamps in question won't stay attached for any reason.

As these are nipple clamps, you shouldn't have too much of an issue with cleaning them. Simply wipe them off with a damp towel and a tiny bit of soap if you get them messy.

Storage? I store these in my trash can, because that's the only place they do anyone any good. Were you to somehow make them work for you, you could always store them in the box the come in, which is relatively small. You could also easily put them in a sock drawer or toy chest.

The box this comes with has a picture of a nipple, and the clamp itself being worn. Discreet? Not in the least. But, it is small email that you should be able to keep this for storage with no problem. The toy didn't come with any kind of instructions.

Not only will these not stay on my nipples, but the little magnets have fallen out of the clamps on more than one occasion. Edenfantasys has numerous clamps which work much better than these. Why not try one of those?
