Adjustable Torture, or Bull nose nipple clamps--Eden Fantasys Review

I swore off nipple clamps of any kind after my last adventure into torment their realm. Of course, Alpha sees anything I decide is horrific as an opportunity to break down my walls and open up my nasty little boxes. So naturally, when He saw nipple clamps as an option for my next Eden Fantasys review, out of all the sex toys we were looking at, He thought they were the perfect choice.
My first objection was the fact that they are coated in latex, and having had horrible reactions to latex condoms, I was not to keen on them.

The thing is...I absolutely love these nipple clamps. I had no reaction to the latex and I like the fact that they can be evil, or not-so-evil.


As usual, I think it's necessary to point out that Eden Fantasys uses very discreet packaging which is a huge plus for anything coming to your mailbox.

If you have a severe allergy to latex, I might be hesitant to try these, but I had no reaction to them at all. Much to my dismay, He attached them to my clit (mean I tell you, so mean). I was just waiting for the horrible reaction, but I didn't have one. Well, besides the whole "I will be any kind of filthy whore you want--please don't tighten them up any more!"

These clamps seem quite sturdy and so does the chain. It's not something delicate that you are afraid to yank on (unfortunately).
I'm a fan of easing into pain, and since these are adjustable, you can put them on and crank them down as time goes by (though anything that's cutting off circulation should only stay on for so long. At least that's what I'm always swearing to Alpha lol). The little screw thingies on the side are how you adjust them (yea, so I don't always have a way with words, so what), but they aren't as cumbersome as I thought they might be. And hey, if He's not paying enough attention to be able to tighten or loosen them I don't want Him doing mean things to me anyways lol.
Alpha has large hands, and He did say that He wished the handles were a little bit longer because they were difficult to get off in a hurry. Overall though, that was really our only complaint regarding these clamps

I don't know how well these would stay on if you had really large nipples, because I experimented with attaching them to different body parts (I had reached that space of being so far down where insanity kicks in and self-preservation becomes a lost skill), and the more fatty the tissue, the less grasp they had. I suppose if you have very small nipples, they might not have quite enough bite.
There was no problem with them coming off my nipples though, even when He decided it would be fun to yank my chain.

I'm quite happy with these nipple clamps and think that we will be using them regularly. They are reasonably priced and quite versatile. The serious pain sluts seem to be fond of the type of clamps I hate with a passion, so I don't know how happy they would be with these. Though like I said, they are very adjustable so I would think anyone could get their fix from them.
These would be especially great for the newbie or someone seeking to increase their pain tolerance because you have the option of making them more or less vicious.

Eden Fantasys review--Emerald explorer

This time it was Alpha's turn to pick the Eden Fantasys toy for review. Naturally, being an ass man, He wanted to see anal toys. So the rep sent us a nice selection of options (I ask to see kink toys, I get a nice little selection, He asks for anal toys and they send Him 15 friggin options! Sadists!). Anyways, I had my eye on a nice painless looking little toy, but He chose the Emerald Explorer which did seem a little bit more daunting to me. He may be an ass man, but I'm not brave about it lol. Really, it's not scary though. I actually like it. A lot.

It's our very first glass toy and I'm really liking glass as an anal toy--much more so than plastic based toys. For one thing, I don't like cheap plastic crap, and even if plastic based products aren't cheap, they remind me of kids toys and your cleaning options can be pretty limited.


As usual, it arrived in totally discreet packaging which is always a consideration when you get sex toys in the mail. After all, nobody wants to get a box with "this is a product designed to go up my ass" plastered all over it. It comes in a cute little velvet bag for storage which I thought was cool because I'm a sucker for nifty stuff like that. And, well, the toy itself is just downright pretty lol.

The insertable length is 4 1/2 inches, though I have to admit that it felt like more lol. The handle is very convenient for motion and gives it a big plus over all the other anal toys we have because it's really easy to control. It is made out of pyrex (like glass cooking bowls and bake-ware), so it's sturdy, more resistant to breakage than regular glass, and is quite easy to clean. If you like to play with temperature, you can heat it up or cool it down to your preference (though the first time He comes after me with it fresh out of the freezer, I'm staging a mutiny). Just a note though--never take anything glass directly out of cold and into high heat. I once managed to break a glass baking dish by taking it from the fridge straight to a pre-heated oven. So while pyrex is quite versatile and sturdy, it is not immune to breakage.

I accidentally dropped this toy on the floor when it was all of two days old (wouldn't recommend trying it as an experiment lol), and I was sure I had broken it. After careful inspection, I realized that it didn't have so much as a mark on the glass. So it is deceptively strong. Though like I said, I wouldn't test the theory for fun--even a minor chip could have some painful consequences.

It is completely seamless and the bulges are graduated in size so you kind of get to work your way up as it goes in. This was my first experience with anything shaped like this and I really enjoyed the bulges, that little space between, and the way they change size. The largest bulge is 1 1/2 inches so overall, the size is comfortable. Being glass, it has a smooth texture that just doesn't come with plastic products. There's no creed that states the Emerald Explorer can only be used as an anal toy--I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it would be enjoyable vaginally as well.

Overall, I am really happy with this toy and am enjoying my introduction to the world of glass. I think that people who aren't experienced with anal play would enjoy this product because it is moderately sized and easy to control.

As a side note, I wasn't thrilled with the last item I got from Eden Fantasys and my review reflected it.
After that, I was sure they would say "bye, we don't want you reviewing for us anymore." The amazing thing is--there was no criticism of my review, I got an apology for getting a product I wasn't happy with (felt a bit guilty about that), and the rep asked if I would like to do another review.
I was actually really impressed by this. I think Eden Fantasys is an upstanding company that strives to provide quality products. And they really do want completely honest reviews.

Another Eden Fantasys review--playing it safe

So technically it was Alpha's turn to pick our review toy, but the shit had hit the fan and He told me to just go for whatever I wanted. After my last review (silence is requested in the peanut gallery), I went for the most benign possible choice--A blindfold.

I love the perspective and sensory changes that come with not being able to use sight as a means of relating to experiences (well, when it comes to BDSM anyways). Which is why I was pretty excited about getting something that was not pulled off a nearby hanger and tied around my head lol.

Okay, so before I get going here, Eden Fantasys asks for honest reviews, and that's what they're getting from me lol.

I really like the sex toys Eden Fantasys has sent us so far (okay, so I hated those nipple clamps, but they are quite effective and I don't have any issues with their quality lol)...But I was a bit disappointed with this one.


 The material is really soft and feels nice; however, there are a lot of "buts."

The "adjustable" description of the strap means that it's elastic and it didn't stay on very well--I found that it was rather tight across the top, but I could actually see out the bottom of it. It didn't fit very well and there really wasn't anything that could be done about it. I also felt like I kept my eyebrows furrowed the whole time in an attempt to keep it on lol. It struck me as bit tacky and poorly made when Alpha opened up the box (in all fairness, it is not an expensive item, so high expectations may have been a bit unfair).
All in all, it didn't provide what I want in a blindfold--the complete loss of sight, the ability to move and have it stay in place, comfort, and real adjustability (that should be a word).

So while Eden Fantasys does have a really fun selection of bondage toys, this is not one that I would recommend to anyone who is consistent and serious about their kink. For vanilla dabblers who enjoy being blindfolded occasionally, it would probably be a nice and cost-effective addition to the toy box.

Eden Fantasys review--Instruments of evil, Oops, I mean "nipple clamps"

 Well, Eden Fantasys doesn't have them labeled as instruments of evil, but they most certainly are!
Okay, so I got to choose the toy for review this time. I exercised questionable judgment at best. At worst I added the most awful little instruments of pain in the whole damn toy box. And I was ridiculously naive about it too--"Oh I would just love to review those!" Hah. Would love to review once in a lifetime and return to sender lol.
We got the "Fresh Jaws Nipple Clamps." So what if the name and description should have made me run. I was presented with a nice little variety of sex toys to choose from...Apparently I'm not as cautious as I should be lol. For someone who loves pain, these things are great. For someone who has a love-hate relationship with pain...Well, I think I have been cured of my moderate masochistic tendencies. I could have chosen a different kind of nipple clamps, but I was feeling extra stupid brave that day and went after these with a gusto that has now been viciously sensuously pinched out of me.

Fresh Jaws Nipple Clamps, also known to me personally, as "instruments of evil"

As you can see, they are rather pretty and deceptively cute. Eden Fantasys says that, in all, these pretty little clamps only weigh 1 1/2 ounces. When Alpha put them on me I would have sworn they weighed a hell of a lot more than that lol. The whole thing is metal except for the bumpy rubber coating right where they latch on. They are pretty thin and don't look quite as sturdy as the chain, but I think that if you haven't made it to the "guy with a chainsaw" stage of pain enjoyment, they are a lot sturdier than they look. The sadistic bastard Alpha experimented a bit with pulling the chain, and I can tell you, these are Not going to accidentally fall off. They stay where you put them (much to my awe and dismay). You can get inventive (inventiveness is totally overrated btw), and also apply them to, ahem, other parts if you're so inclined. That makes them pretty versatile as far as toys go--lots of, ummm, options.
I have seen lots of toys that are just tacky--they are cheaply made, don't do the things they are advertised to, break when you look at them, and are pretty much made for child's play or the weak minded lol.
I can safely say, that these nipple clamps possess none of those qualities.

Personally, I think these are best used when you have the time to warm up first. Pain becomes much more tolerable and enjoyable when you start out easy and work your way up (or down as I think of it). Jumping straight in with these was kind of rough.
Also, I came fairly close to waking up the kids, so if you are a masochistic wuss like me, it's probably a good idea to employ a gag, add extra insulation to your walls (by far the most expensive option lol, though given the price of childcare...), or play with them in an otherwise empty house lol.

Alpha was  pretty happy about them because He finally found a toy that could be used for punishment and be completely Not enjoyable for me. The riding crop, the whip, even the belt, all cause a kind of pain that I can successfully get off on. These clamps? With working up to it and having them on for a short (and I do mean short) period of time, I could probably get off on them. Not working up to it and having them left on for a little while longer? I think I'll do anything to avoid them lol.

If you truly enjoy pain, giving or receiving, then these are a great little addition to the toy box. If pain really isn't your thing and you want to experiment with nipple clamps, I would start out with something a little less intense.

Eden Fantasys review: G-spot tickler

So we got a review offer from Eden Fantasys a while back. I was delighted and then the shit promptly hit the fan. So I have had the product for a while even though I intended to do the review right away. Anyways, here it is.

Alpha seems to think that the easy way is overrated so instead of picking some implement that causes physical pain, He chose a nice painless little product that was going to be much harder for me to write about than an implement of destruction would have been lol. For anyone who is not already familiar with them, Eden Fantasys sells a nice variety of adult toys from the kinky to good ol' vibrators.

As you have no doubt guessed, the product chosen was the G-spot tickler.

G-spot tickler - G-spot vibrator

        
It was a bit of a risky choice because my body likes to react in a somewhat nasty way to synthetic products ranging from lube to condoms; however, I didn't have a problem with this one. It's a jelly toy, so it's soft and a lot smaller than it looks (hmmm, perhaps I shouldn't complain that He picked a pain-free product?). My all out favorite thing about it is the way it rubs on your clit. Since I can't cum without clitoral stimulation, I thought it was a rather brilliant design. 
Alpha liked that it can be controlled by remote, so He could adjust the speed (being able to adjust the speed is great) without actually having to change His position or reach around to grab the vibrator itself. He said that the cord was a bit cumbersome, but personally, I didn't notice it at all lol.
I felt that it was perhaps a bit small (a whopping 3" actually goes inside you), but that gives it a really nice perk: it's absolutely freaking awesome to use during anal sex. You get the vibration, clitoral stimulation that makes you hand seem like a cave-man method, and it's not so big that it makes you feel like you're being split in two by having both holes filled at once.

Another thing that I really liked about this product is that it's easy to clean--you can pull the vibrating egg right out of the rubber and completely submerge the jelly part in soapy water. Since it's not silicone, it can't be boiled, but that also means that if you are allergic or otherwise reactive to silicone products, it's not going to burn like a bitch and create other unpleasant sensations. And I'm not sharing my toys anyways lol, so soapy water is just fine.

My one concern before receiving the vibrator in the mail, was that no one wants to pick up a package with "sex toys" plastered all over it (especially in a tiny town where your post mistress knows every box-holder by name lol). The packaging was wonderfully innocuous. It might as well have been a scarf from someone's grandma as far as you could tell from looking at it.

Over all, this vibrator is a nice little addition to the toy box And like I said, I thought it was pretty phenomenal as an addition to anal sex so I'm quite happy with it.
