I absolutely adore having my nipples played with. They're these tiny little pencil eraser-sized nubs at the end of my breasts that just scream out to be touched and fondled. I've considered piercing them to add to the fun, but lately I've been wavering on that desire. Instead I have been investigating ways to heighten the sensation on my nipples in a cost effective, painless manner. These Mini Nipple Suckers by Cal Exotics fill that purpose excellently.

These little round bulbs are made from PVC. Given that these are not insertable toys, I would consider that neither a plus nor a minus. It is simply a property of the toy. If you have really sensitive skin or a lot of material allergies, you have some interaction with this material but I did not have a problem with it.

The nipple suckers arrive at your door in a small clamshell package. There's a slightly blurry girl in the background on the card behind the nipple suckers but nothing overtly pornographic. Other than the fact it's sold as a "sexual novelty" and is by Cal Exotics, I don't see much about this toy that screams "sex toy!" There are no instructions included with the nipple suckers. I had to figure out how to use them in the best way I could.

Here's what I discovered:

1. For the nipple suckers to work optimally, your skin and the suckers themselves should be dry and clean.

2. Hold your breast (rather than the nipple itself) out from your body a little and gently squeeze the body of the sucker so that it flattens out. Place it over your nipple and loosen up on the pressure just enough so that the open end of the nipple sucker envelops your nipple.

3. Slowly release the bulb and it should theoretically be vacuum suctioned to your nipple area.

4. So as to not damage your nipple or the surrounding skin, don't leave the suckers on for an extended period of time. I leave mine on for between five and ten minutes at a time. If your nipple starts to discolor you've kept it on for too long. You don't want to prevent blood flow to your nipples.

Used properly, these suckers can heighten the sensitivity to your nipples. After you remove them, your nipples will stay erect and sensitive for some time. The sensation will fade, but be careful about using these suckers too often or for too long. I won't tell you about a childhood playtime I had with rubber bands. Let's just say it involved stupidity and scabbing. Just say no to stupidity!

Because these are PVC, they should be easy to care for. If for some reason they become dirty or have bodily fluids on them, wash them with warm water and an antibacterial soap. Allow to air dry so the PVC doesn't crack from heat. You can also use a sex toy cleaner on these.

I store these by just tossing them into a travel toiletry bag I keep other toys in. They don't interact with other materials though I'm hesitant to keep them in direct contact with my silicone toys for long. I'm just paranoid about stuff melting my silicone toys.

For the price, these Mini Nipple Suckers by Cal Exotics can provide lots of fun at a good price. Make sure you don't use them too long and your nipples will thank you.
