The ElectraStim ElectraClamp with the Storage Bag

Vendor: ElectraStim

Over four years ago I reviewed the original ElectraStim Bi-Polar Soft Genital Clamp. Back then it was the only (yes, I am ignoring just stingy and painful one E-Stim Systems used to make for a good reason) bi-polar clamp on the market. For liability and design reasons it was marketed as a “genital clamp”. The large opening and low spring power made it hard to attach to nipples. This in combination with the domed clamp tips made the grip on firm surfaces like a hard dick or glans was mediocre. But as stated, there were not bi-polar clamps so I gave them a pass. Until now!

Construction

As the name already implies, the ElectraClamp is a (nipple) clamp for e-stim play. It is made out of a black shiny polymer. The wings have a bit of an asymmetrical design with the oval grip side being large at 30x20mm. This side is textured with ridges for a secure grip even with sweaty and a bit lubey hands. At the back of these areas you can find sockets the 2mm pin leads.

Detail of the Textured Grip Area

The clamp’s two wings are connected by a polymer screw. This prevents unwanted connection of the two channels. It also enables the usage of a cloth pin metal spring which is both sturdy, durable and delivers a strong enough spring power.

The most important part of the clamp is of course the grip surface. On this one it is an oval 15x10mm piece of firm conductive silicone. For added grip it is textured with small grooves. Unlike other manufacturers who only use conductive silicone in sheet form, the contact area is 2mm thick so it has some mass.

The ElectraClamp comes in a small cloth bag for storage.

Playing with the ElectraClamp

The clamp opens 22mm wide, making it wide enough for nipples, the frenulum or the perineum skin (which is not like direct prostate stimulation!). On this model, the spring power in combination with the larger, flat and textured contact area make the grip secure enough even for small, sweaty male nipples. In the unlikely case that the nipple slips anyway, simply tug a bit more skin between the wings.

Detail of the Conductive Contact Area of the Clamp

Of course, for liability reasons ElectraStim has to say that this clamp is only for usage below the waist. If you use this clamp in a single channel e-stim power box, you can safely attach the clamp to a nipple because the currency only flows between the two conductive areas. If you use more than one clamp on a body or attach electrodes that use the second channel of a power box, make sure that:

  • Both channels of the power box are completely isolated! Otherwise currency can flow between the electrodes and if placed above the waist can lethally effect the organs!
  • Make sure that both poles of a channel go into the same electrode! Otherwise currency will flow between the electrodes.

Naturally, compared to other electrodes clamps have relatively small and low-mass poles. Despite this physical limitation the ElectraClamps manages to produce a relatively smooth and pleasurable stimulation, depending on the power box. Of course, they can also sting as hell if you crank up the box!

Detail of the Lead Socket

ElectraStim recommends putting conductive lube on the contact area. For this review I used conductive lube from ElectraStim, E-Stim Systems and MyStim as well as Swiss Navy water-based lube (my go-to lube for anal electrodes). All of my testees agreed that the conductivity only improved minimal at best. The skin especially in combination with sweat is conductive enough for a pleasurable stimulation.

Coming back to the beginning of this review: When ElectraStim introduced the ElectraClamp they phased out the Bi-Polar Genital Clamp. For good reason, because the ElectraClamp is clearly the superior clamp – if you don’t want to put it on a dick or the balls. But frankly, there are better electrodes for this use scenario.

Conclusion: Best e-stim clamp available today.

ToolBits Silicone Sounds

The Square Peg TollBits B, F, H and I

Vendor: Regulation (EU)/ Square Peg (USA)

Construction & Basic Play Advice

The ToolBits like all Square Peg sounds are hand-made in Oregon out of their graphite colored platinum silicone. Though the color is not as deep and rich as in the anal toys but a bit more opaque. Like the Square Peg anal toys the material is very soft & squishy and has a super smooth surface. While the super smooth surface helps them to glide easily into the urethra, the softness allows the complex textures to simulate this sensitive body area without causing harm. Also, it compresses the sound when it should get tight. This property is necessary, because most of the designs are considerably larger than the “standard” sounding play sizes of 6mm or 8mm. Furthermore it makes these sounds great for play while a PA is still inserted. This being said while through their softness they theoretically are good for beginners because they cannot injure the urethra, they are a bit harder to handle, especially when the piss hole is not used to being stretched and the sphincter just below the meatus has to be gently (!!!) pushed open. So I recommend training with a smooth metal sound to open up this hole and later introduce the delights of the ToolBits’ texture. All of these toys have a short hexagonal base which allow a somewhat secure grip even with lubey hands and prevent it from accidently being swallowed hole.

Detail of the Hexagonal Base

Before and after play, the ToolBits need to be properly and thoroughly sanitized! Otherwise playing with them can lead to nasty infections! Being made out of platinum silicone means, they are not only 100% body-safe and hypoallergenic but can basically be treated like stainless steel or aluminum urethra toys when it comes to cleaning: They can be boiled, autoclaved, put in the dishwasher or thrown into bleach – or just soaked in hot dish soap water, dried and then sprayed with a sanitizer.

The Color Difference between the ToolBits‘ and the Anal Toys Graphite

Like all things that go into your urethra, they should only be used with sterile water-based lube. Period! End of discussion! Ever since I started reviewing urethra toys, I have been getting messages, asking if there are instances where you can use a different kind of lube or that people have been using silicone lube without any problems, etc. So let me emphasis it here again: Water-based lube gets absorbed by the body, silicone- and oil-based not, providing nourishment for bacteria! To even further decrease the chances of that happening, use sterile lube in small sachets because one you open a tube of sterile KY lube, it becomes unsterile. So I strongly recommend getting the more expensive small sachets so be safe than sorry!

All TollBits come in a nifty rectangular plastic box with vinyl like covers for easy storing. While Regulation does not carry all reviewed toys and all sizes, they can custom order them for you; just write to them. I got all my sounds through them.

Looking at the Individual ToolBits

The ToolBits are named with just single letters. Instead of describing them alphabetically, I decided to talk about them in increasing level or intensity.

Detail of the H’s Beads

H

With a diameter of 7mm the H is one of the thinnest ToolBits and thus the easiest to take. If an 8mm stainless steel sound goes in and out the meatus easily, you are ready for the H. The texture is a strand of 4mm tall beads with a 2/3mm neck between each one. There are 13 beads over the length of 82mm. Before the body flows into the base there is a 6mm tall barrel with 4 very faint ridges, like a machine screw’s thread. If you insert the toy all the way and you have a very sensitive sphincter, you can actually feel the ridged gently tantalizing it. Because the texture is so smooth and calm compared to the other sounds reviewed here, it is also a good toy to start venturing deeper into your dick because while the sensations of being stimulated deep inside the shaft are intense, through the evenness and smoothness of the texture they are still well to handle.

The ToolBit H costs $39 at Square Peg.

E

Detail of the E’s Vortex

The tip of the E is a five-ridge woodscrew-thread like vortex which starts out with 4mm diameter and increases to 7mm over a length of 26mm. The grooves between the ridges are about half a millimeter deep so when you twist and turn the sound inside the urethra you get a spinning feeling. The grooves also contain lube very well so the fins glide smoothly. Below the vortex the is a 4mm thick and 10.5mm wide disc. Most of my testees used this as the sign of how deep they can go. Two very eager urethra players pushed it through the sphincter and sounded deep with the E; after the disc there is a 27mm and 8mm thick shaft. There is a bit of taper towards the maximum diameter of the disc and since it is not too thick, it gives in but pushing it though the sphincter does feel intense. Since now there is an intense stretch inside the shaft of the dick, only the tip of the vortex is felt deeper inside but only faintly. All sensations are overpowered by the stretch sensation and the friction around it. Give it a try, but this kind of deep sounding with the E did not win favors with me and my testee panel.

The ToolBit E costs $29 at Square Peg. The design of the E also comes in larger sizes called F and G. F you can order for £28.99 at Regulation.

The Different Stretch Sections of the I

I

If you want to gently stretch and train the dick’s sphincter, the I is the toy to go to. It starts out with an anal plug-like tip which tapers from a 6mm round tip to a max. stretch of 9mm over 19mm and then recedes to a 8mm long and 7mm thick shaft section. Then the plug widens again to 9mm stretch in the middle of a 12mm long facetted section until flowing into another 25mm of shaft. Just like training your anus, gently fucking your meatus with this plug, stretching the hole open, allowing to close and opening uo again will allow the sphincter to relax more easily over time. Because the toy is so long making it hard to control and the maximum stretch comes after a relatively short way, this toy is for the more experienced player.

The ToolBit I costs $39 at Square Peg or £28.99 at Regulation. If the stretch is too small for you, you can also get it in the larger J version.

B

Detail of the B’s Blunt Head

The B is for the real experienced stretch-sensation seeker. It starts out with an 8mm tall and 7mm diameter hemisphere which makes for a real dull entry. Since the 8mm are usually not long enough to push through sphincter completely, the following stretch to 11m over just 5mm is intense. Then there is a 2mm wide and 2/3mm deep grove until it tapers from 11mm to the 8mm shaft diameter in just 5mm. Over 14mm the shaft keeps the thickness but then there is a jump to 9mm without any taper. This section is 16mm and ends at the base. Through the overall bluntness of the toy design, it is only for experience sounders who can take at least 9mm steel diameter easily.

The ToolBit B costs $39 at Square Peg or £28.99 at Regulation. The desing of the B comes in four different sizes from A to D.

The Packaging of the ToolBits

Putty

If you haven’t found the design you are looking for on here, you can always make your own sounds using the Square Peg Putty which I have reviewed here. Either use the supersoft version in bronze or graphite or if you prefer a bit stiffer sounds, the dedicates Make Sounds! kit is packed with firm black platinum silicone. It costs $18.95 at Square Peg or £19.99 at Regulation.

Conclusion: Unique and intensely stimulating silicone sounds.

Tweezer Nipple Clamps

The Tweezer Nipple Clamps from Mr S and Regulation

Vendor: Mr S (USA) or Regulation (EU)

These are one of the first clamps I have ever bought and I thought I already reviewed them years ago – until last week when a reader asked for my thoughts on these clamps and I realized I never reviewed them. So better late than never, here are my thoughts on the Tweezer Nipple Clamps.

Construction

The clamps are made out of folded spring steel. Each branch is approx. 7cm long and the last centimeter is bent towards each other. To cover up the sharp edges and for a little bit better grip the last 2cms are covered by vinyl. On both branches runs a slider for adjusting the clamps’ pressure. The clamps are connected by a chain which is attached to rings to prevent the chain from tangling up. The total length of rings and chain is 30cm.

Detail of the Vinyl Covered Tips

Playing with the Tweezer Nipple Clamps

To attach the clamps to the sub’s nipple, ball skin or frenulum, the branches must simply be gently pulled apart and the skin or tissue placed between the tips. Gripping the branches is best done with the finger nails. It still can done wearing thin police or rubber examination gloves. But bulkier ones like industrial rubber, MX or motorcycle gloves make it impossible. Like all larger clamps which center of gravity is towards the back, the clamps should be attached parallel to the body to keep them from involuntarily slipping off. Since they are very sleek and slim, the clamps are perfect to be worn under cloths.

Most of the testees described the initial pressure sensation as medium-intense; a nice, notable and tantalizing presence for the experienced nipple player but nothing for a novice! The pressure is strong enough to keep the Tweezers on the nipple even after the tissue water has been displaced. Though the grip is not strong enough to hold dropping weights or pull when tying the clamps to moving limbs. For more experience pain pigs or when during the scene the nipples become less sensitive, the pressure and thus the pain can be increased by moving the slider towards the tip. This should be done slowly because these clamps have brought an experience nipple pain pig to tears during the testing. If this is not enough, the small contact points leave most of the nipple exposed which provides room for wax, icy-hot or pin wheels for example…

Detail of the Sliders to Adjust the Intensity

The Tweezer Clamps are really made for bare skin play. The small contact surface needs the tissue to dig into. So a good way to prepare the nipple is working with nipple suckers to add puffiness (and sensitivity). While attaching the clamps somehow works through thin rubber (up to approx. 0.4mm) or lycra, leather or thicker rubber do not go well with these clamps. The nipple should also dry and lube-free because of the smooth vinyl cover.

Conclusion: Highly adjustable clamps for the more experience Nipple Player.

Nipple Claws

The Mister B Nipple Claws

Vendor: Mister B

Construction

These clamps are quite inconspicuous: Just two barrels with a lever at the bottom. But when you push the lever, four pointy metal fingers extend which are 11mm long and created an aperture of about 10mm.  The housing barrel is 51mm long and has a diameter of 7mm. The upper 4/5 of the barrel is knurled for better grip and a disk around the rim with a 15mm diameter enables precise operation and control of the clamps even wearing thicker rubber gloves and somewhat lubey hands. The barrels are connected by 32cm long chain which is attached to them by a movable bail

Detail of the Knurling and Grip Disk

Playing with the Nipple Claws

Pputting these clamps onto the nipple is a quite surprising experience: Through the relatively tame spring tension the pain is not as intense as the intimidating look might imply. This difference of anticipated and actual sensation makes these clamps ideal for a bit of mindfuck. Though they are far from tame. Even lightly pulling on the chain increases the pain dramatically. Suspending a weight from it and let it swing is agonizing. Letting it drop is hell – especially since unlike other clamps the Nipple Claws stay in place when the weight drops. Like with any other clamp, pumping the nipples in advance will increase their sensitivity. But unlike with most other clamps, the added puffiness will not compromise the grip.

Detail of the actual clamp

These clamps really shine in more messy scenes. The knurling and disk allow to operate the clamps even with messy fingers to a certain degree. Since the metal fingers dig a bit into the tissue, the Nipple Claws even grip onto sweaty nipples, lube-covered ball skin or pre-cum drenched foreskin where other clamps would slip off.

Despite looking quite mean, the claws never broke the skin while testing them. Through the relatively small aperture and lighter spring tension, these clamps are made for play on bare skin. They can pierce lycra and thinner rubber, thicker rubber and leather will prevent them from gripping the nipple.

Conclusion: Mean clamps with even meaner looks and hard grip.

Adjustable Nose Shackle

Vendor: Uberkinky

The Adjustable Nose Shackle from Uberkinky

Construction

The Adjustable Nose Shackle is made out of two square metal plates onto which two 25mm high shackles made out of wire are welded. The tips of the shackles are bent towards each other. Through the metal plate a screw is put through which the shackle can be opend up to 17mm and closed again. The screw head is textured for better grip yet especially with lubey fingers or when wearing heavy gloves it is a bit hare to turn. Below the screw there are two bars to guide the shackles. The entire toy is made out of stainless steel and weights 33g.

Playing with the Adjustable Nose Shackle

This toy might look small and innocent yet it is one of the most intense pieces of bondage gear I know. The nasal septum is a quite sensitive body area. For most bottoms just the weight of the lightly attached Adjustable Nose Shackle is a noticeable sensation. The pain of the shackle being pulled will make most subs comply and move in the desired direction. Of cause if you want to be mean you can tighten it even more for constant and agonizing pain.

Since the shackles are made out of wire instead of solid metal plates like other nose shackles are they can dig a little bit deeper into the tissue which results in better grip. To lead a sub around or incorporate the toy into a bondage layout simply put a little carabineer around the three bars and attach your favorite leash, rope or chain. But keep in mind that this will add extra weight which increases the experienced pain, especially when through dangling around movement energy is added.

The cartilage structure of the septum in combination with the smooth round tips of the Adjustable Nose Shackle is enough to prevent serious injuries if you tighten the shackle cautiously and not too tight. But especially when the bottom already has a septum piercing or the septum is damaged (through drug usage for example) be extra careful when pulling. Serious injuries might occur!

Detail of the Guiding Bars and the Screw to Adjust the Opening

The wide opening enables you to attach the Adjustable Nose Shackle to other body parts like the tongue, ear lobes, the foreskin or the frenulum. Some testees even put it on the sack (take extra care you don’t trap a spermatic cord!) or the perineum to lead their subs around. It is worth to experiment which body part gives the best reaction, where it can be worn the longest time or if you are extra sadistic get two, put them opposite ends of the body, apply some tension and see into which pain the sub will give in the most.

Being made out of stainless steel cleaning and sanitizing this piece of bondage gear is easy: Simply boil it in water for some time and let it dry properly.

Conclusion: Intense piece of bondage gear.
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Makes sub comply quickly A bit difficult to operate Uberkinky £19.99
Finely adjustable sensation
Allows to incorporate unexpected body parts into bondage

ElectraStim Bi-Polar Soft Genital Clamp

Von | | , ,
Ein Kommentar

Vendor: ElectraStim

The ElectaStrim Bipolar Soft Grip Clamp

Every time when the E-Stim Special is on one of the most things I get asked about is e-stim on the nipple. But since almost all clamps offered are monopolar I strongly discouraged using them above the waist in order not to interfere with the heart. I got so annoyed with the lack of adequate bipolar clamps that I build some myself with copper electrodes which wasn’t ideal either. So I was very excited when I discovered this clamp by ElectraStim which they sent me to test thoroughly.

Construction

As the name of the toy suggests the general design follows the one of a rather large clamp with an overall length of 103mm.

Detail of the 2mm Socket

The bottom half of the clamp are two handles made out of a black polymer connected by a hinge. Below the hinge is the spring which pushes the tips together. The bottom of each handle is a large, slightly domed area for better grip at which bottom the socket for 2mm plugs is located. The top half is made out of flexible yet sturdy wire. The tips are round and slightly domed with a diameter of 12mm. With standard ElectraStim leads attached the maximum aperture of the clamp is 38mm.

Playing with the Bi-Polar Clamp

Despite the little amount of mass and the small contact area the clamps can produce a quite smooth sensation making it a suitable toy for beginners who are not into sharp and stingy pain.

Detail of the Electrode’s Contact Area

As written above this clamp is bipolar so the currency flows between the two tips of each half making it safe to use on the nipples. But through the wide aperture this clamp is quite versatile. Besides the obvious nipples I used the clamps to fry balls or place if in the glans with one electrode on the frenulum to milk and e-stim orgasm out of the subs. The most fun I had was attaching the clamp to body parts otherwise not exposed to e-stim because the sensation is most surprising to the sub. Tormenting the nasal septum with excruciating pain will bring most subs to their knees and ultimately to tears. On the other side of the sensation spectrum a light tingling program on the ear lobes is a great addition to elaborate sensation play.

Maximal Aperture of the Clamp

The stiffness of the spring is relatively low and the tip is smooth and round which makes this clamp comfortable to wear over long periods of time. The downside of this is that if you can to attach the clamp to small body parts like the male nipple, it will slip off very easily, especially when the sub moves around through the induced sensation. I got around this problem by attaching the clamps perpendicularly to the body and put a cloth pin on top of the ElectraStim clamp. It is important to use a cloth pin which is not made out of metal otherwise you will short circuit your power box!  Alternatively wrap an elastic band several times just below the tip of the clamp.

Two Options to Increase the Spring’s Stiffness

It is imperative that when you use a clamp on each nipple that the power box has two completely isolated channels and use one channel per clamp. Otherwise the might be interaction between the two clamps which can lead to currency flowing between the nipples which than ultimately can cause heart problems.

Conclusion: Versatile and safe to use e-stim clamp.

Twist Action Nipple Suction Cups

Vendor: Uberkinky

The Uberkinky Twist Action Nipple Suction Cups

Construction

The body of these nipple pumps is a 57mm long clear plastic tube which comes in four diameters: 17mm, 26mm, 38mm and 50mm. For this review I was sent the 17mm version. Inside this tube is a plastic disc with two black rubber seals. This disc is connected to a knob by a threaded rod. The knob features deep, ergonomically shaped grooves so it can be operated securely even with sweaty or lubey fingers.

Playing with the Twist Action Nipple Suction Cups

Playing with vacuum toys escpecially on the nipples has two possible goals. The first is the stimulation through suction. This is a delicate sensation which originates from the skin’s tension inside the vacuum and targets the high nerve endings density of the nipple. In order to create this sensation the tube’s diameter should not be larger than the nipples’ vestibule. Also, being delicate, it is possible to not feeling the sensation at all when the bottom is not receptive for light nipple stimulation. But if he is, there is a wide range of possible sensations and stimulations ranging from a light sucking one to agonizing pain depending how intense the vacuum is. These sensations can of cause be enhanced by adding external force through a vibrator or a riding crop. Especially for this kind of play this kind of nipple pumps is better than the cups made out of squishy materials like TPR because you can precisely dose the intensity of the sucking sensation.

In any case nipple pumps are teasing the nerve endings so they can be used to prepare the nipples for other forms of play. After 10 to 15 minutes being exposed to vacuum the nerve endings react more intensely to any other form of stimulation being it pressure, heat or cold.

Detail of the Easy to Grip Knob

In order to be effective nipple pumps are best used on well shaven chests because hair below the tube’s rim can prevent the necessary seal for a vacuum. What doesn’t interfere with the working principal though is sweat so these nipple pumps are a great toy to use after extended rubber wearing when most moderate nipple clamps won’t grip anymore.

Though nipple pumps are hot toys a word of warning is in order: Playing extensively and often with vacuum toys can permanently increase the size and volume of the body parts sucked into the vacuum tubes.

Conclusion: Easy to use and versatile nipple toy.
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Easy to operate even with slippery hands Does not work for everybody Uberkinky £16.99

The Uberkinky Shiny Nipple Chain & Clamps

The Uberkinky Shiny Nipple Chain & Clamps

I haven’t reviewed nipple clamps in a long time because I haven’t found a tempting one when strolling through the BDSM stores in Berlin. So when Uberkinky send me the Shiny Nipple Chain and Clamps to review I wasn’t too thrilled but luckily was pleasantly surprised.

Construction

The two clamps are 3cm long and on average 1cm wide. Despite being made out of sheet metal they are quite sturdy and have little flex thus I assume they are made out of some form of steel. Even pissing onto them didn’t lead to rust. The back of one side of the clamps is raised so it is easy to grip and open them up even when you have lubey fingers. The front has the shape of a half circle with a diameter of approx. 12mm. Inside this area is lined with textured black rubber which is hold in place by small dull teeth. The two clamps are connected by 31cm long chain.

You can vary the Intensity with the Space the Clamp grips

You can vary the Intensity with the Space the Clamp grips

Playing with it

I really like toys at which you can see that the person constructing it put some thought into the design. And the Shiny Nipple Chain and Clamps is a great example for such thinking.

Through the shape of the head you can create a wide range of sensations. For an intense sensation put just the tip with the dull teeth onto the nipples, for a mild and intriguing sensation use the entire width and length of head. So I made it a fun game to start out with the entire clamp covering the nipple and slowly pulling them forward as the scene progresses. The spring is only a medium strength I would say. However through the wide and flat surface of the head you can easily add Mawa clamps p.e. to increase the pressure.

Detail of the Grip Enhancing Lining

Detail of the Grip Enhancing Lining

Through the small teeth and textured rubber lining these clamps also stick to the body when the area is slippery through sweat or lube. Since I don’t know from which kind of rubber the lining is made so I would be cautious with silicone or fat based lubes because they could dissolve the material.

However the clever design fails to convince when playing in thicker gear. I found the small teeth a to big risk of scratching leather and rubber (and even ripping it) to squeeze covered skin between the two half of a clamp. Also the spring is too weak to by itself produce too much pressure for any recognizable effect through gear. They are also too bulky with too pointy corners to be worn under rubber. So I would recommend using them on bare skin only.

Conslusion: Well designed and flexible clamps for play on bare skin.

Mister B Thai Pain Sticks

Thai Pain Sticks

Vendor: Mister B

I have gotten this toy from Mister B in order to review it. It was a nice reminder to review this kind of toy because I love it for its many possibilities to torture someone.

Design

Pair Pain Sticks

The Pain Sticks come in a pair for two nipples, lips, balls,…

The construction of this „clamps“ (due to lack of a better word I will just call this toy a clamp) is quite simple: two approx. 23 cm long varnished black steel sticks are glued parallel inside black rubber balls on both ends. There are also two rubber rings which slide on the steel sticks. It lays in the nature of the length and sturdiness of the sticks that toy can’t be worn tight fitting under gear.

I have seen versions of this toy made with wooden sticks but I highly recommend the steel version because it can be easily sanitizes. It is also noteworthy that Mister B sells them in pairs; sometimes you only get one which might be enough depending on your usage…

Playing with it

… and you can use it on a number of different body areas. The Thai Pain Stick is most commonly used as a nipple toy. You simply pull the two sticks apart and put the nipple between them. This can be a bit tricky because you can only pull the sticks approx. 1 cm apart which might be too little for a soft nipple. I recommend stimulating the nipple until it is a bit firmer by using your hands, sucking on them or using suction cups before trying to put the Thai Pain Sticks on. Another possible problem is that you can only easily put them on the tip of the nipple. The sticks are not too firm but the sensation can be too hard for a newbie. But if you have gotten the endorphins flowing by a little finger foreplay it should be ok.

The Sticks Ends are housed in a rubber ball

The Sticks Ends are housed in a rubber ball

Once they are in place I love this toy for it many play possibilities. The first thing you can do is increasing the pressure by pushing the movable rings closer together. Because the sticks are relatively long the pain intensity can be dosed quite fine without having to fear that it will fall off, unlike clamps where you have to i crease the pressure with a screw. Another way to remind the sub of the clamps once he got used to them is turning them. When turning the, there is a risk that the nipple will slip through the sticks which is very painful. But that might be just the thing you were going for…

The biggest advantage of the Thai Pain Sticks is that you can still access the nipple while the clamp is in play. There are infinite possibilities to add stimulation. One thing I love to do is playing with temperature. Either rub an ice cube over the tip of the nipple or just drop wax on that small area. The wax sensation is even stronger when you put the sticks into the freezer for 10 minutes before applying them… If you want to get really nasty, put safe irritants like bee venom salve on the nipple or torment it with a pin wheel. If you pulled the nipple between the sticks a bit further you can even add a second clamp onto them for added agony.

The two rubber rings make the difference between ecstasis and agony

The two rubber rings make the difference between ecstasis and agony

Of cause you are not limited to the nipple when playing. The clamp can be put anywhere where you can pinch enough skin. My favorite other areas are the fore skin, the balls (be careful not to get a seminal duct between the sticks!), ear lobes and the lips and tongue. The pain sensation on these areas is not so intense but you can make a fun game: Put them on both lips and tell the sub that they must not touch and then start playing. If he wiggles too much they will enviably touch and your sub has earned a punishment.

Beyond the clamp properties I have found the pain sticks useful for a bit of impact play. Especially the balls on the end can sting a bit when snapped again the skin. Because they are so small this toy is ideal for applying pain to small areas like the glans or the nipples.

Conslusion: Easy to dose clamp which leaves the nipple still accessible
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Sensation can be dosed easily Relatively high start pain level Mister B 35,95€
Nipple still accessible A bit difficult to handle
Many possible usages

_DSC1523Some time ago I review the Non-Adjustable Aligator Clamps from Mister B and loved them for their versatility so even new comers can enjoy them. Today I face again a reptile – and this time a mean one!

I got this clamps by accident. I was visiting Hamburg and following (old) my rule that I have to get myself a toy from every city trip I was browsing at Mister Chaps for something new. And this pair of clamps was actually the only one I did not own yet.

Like the Mister B ones these clamps are very small. But unlike them the massive, boldly looking chain is mounted onto a bail which is located at the opening mechanism axis so it doesn’t jam the mechanism. That design is very handy because sometimes you need to get these little devils off your skin FAST!

Playing with it

These clamps are only made for a selected group of pain connoisseurs which can cope with handling problems. Again this is a small clamp. But unlike other small clamps I have reviewed the gripping area is a really small and steep piece of metal which again has no texture. It takes some practice to grip and open the clamps. Operating it with thicker gloves on is a really hard task and as soon as your finger tips are sweaty or luby it gets really hard to open this clamps.

The form factor of the clamps (wide and shallow instead of narrow and deep like most clamps) keep it from sticking closely to your body but stand perpendicular away from it. I have tried to wear them under my rubber surf suit but aborted this experiment due to the fear of ripping it so it is a toy best used on subs with naked chest. Or should I say: Pain pigs? The pain sensation is very strong, a sharp biting feeling. And the steep pressure points which makes putting the clamps on problematic are now a benefit because they lead your finger tips towards the end of the clamps where you can easily increase the pressure – if you desire to agonize your victim. Also: These clamps do not come off lightly. I was too afraid to try it out but I believe you will probably break the skin through severe scratches when you pull these clamps off.

You could use it on rubber or leather surfaces because the spring is quite hard but it will leave marks. Also, the main pain sensation is lost and you only feel the pressure.

Despite not opening very wide these clamps through their tough grip can be put on nearly every part of the body imaginable as long as you can pinch enough skin to fit between the teeth. I once brain-stormed possible areas of use with a fellow top after the second gin and tonic and I will not write them down in order to protect sensitive readers. But believe me: The ideas made even an experienced pain pig like me shiver in fear.
