Review Thursday: Chopstick Clamps

Chopsticks make kind of an amazing pervertable.  I'd heard about chopstick clamps a long time ago, but it's something we've never tried.  To be honest, before our house fire, we relied primarily on store bought items rather than pervertables.  We had quite a sizable toy chest, but when everything burned... everything burned.  It's pricey to rebuild a toy collection, and since I'm not earning the kind of money that I once did, perverting ordinary objects into BDSM toys has become a new fascination.

In order to create chopstick clamps, all you need is four chopsticks, and four elastics.  Lay out the chopsticks with one small end to each larger end, as the photo shows. I would highly recommend using coated hair elastics rather than rubber bands for this, as they are easier to slide along the length of the chopstick.

You can tighten the pressure by the number of times you wrap the elastic around the chopsticks, making them infinitely adjustable, depending on the elastic and the chopsticks.  You can also adjust the feel of the compression by sliding the bands closer to the center, and hair elastics slide very smoothly, to create a slowly building pressure instead of jerky, sudden tugging sensations. Of course, some sadistic types might prefer this kind of sensation, so experiment and see what you prefer.

So, what do they feel like?

Well, to a certain extent, clamps are clamps.  The rounded nature of chopsticks do create a slightly different pressure than other clamping devices we've used.  We tried two different types that we had in the house, and both were lacquered.  I would not recommend using unfinished, throwaway chopsticks for this by the by, because you definitely don't want to get splinters in your nipples.  Head to Chinatown, where you can pick up a finished set of eight for a song.  They are also widely available on the Internet.

One of the sets we used was a more rounded type, while the other was slightly more squared (though not to a sharp-edged degree.  The rounded set seemed to have more pressure to them, though that could have been just the snugness of the rubber bands, since the chopsticks were also slightly larger.  The difference isn't noticeable just looking at them; it took holding them up to one another to discern that the circumference was just slightly different.

What makes these interesting and fun, is that when they're played with, they create some really amazing and unique sensations.  Rolling them back and forth, for example, creates an amazing sensation similar to rolling the nipple with fingers, but with a much sharper edge to the sensation.  Tugging also creates somewhat of a different pressure than most other nipple clamps.  It reminded me of a set of round, pressure clamps we had before the fire (sorry, I can't remember the name!) with flat plates that came together, but even there the sensation was still somewhat variable, because with the chopsticks you can tug on only one side or press them into the breast tissue, which also creates a different feel.

These are definitely a fun, unique pervertable which will be staying in our toy box permanently now!
