Grin and bear it is an expression that was obviously invented for people who enjoy BDSM. Pain and pleasure go hand in hand, but that’s not the case for everybody. Some people hate feeling uncomfortable during sex and/or masturbation, while others feel like it’s the only thing that can get them off. Obviously, there’s a wide range of tastes and preferences, which explains why the market is so full of options. These days, you won’t find only one single clit clap because you’ll find thousands. They range in size, shape, color, material and functionality, but they’re all made to do the same basic thing: Tweak your clitoris until it’s throbbing and restless. Depending on the intensity you desire, a well-made to the clamp is what you require. In other words, don’t settle for second best like I did.
Having learned everything the hard way, I know now that you can’t trust all pussy clamps to do the same exact thing. I started looking for suggestions, heeding recommendations, and taking chances because I got sick of the bullshit. Along the way, I ran across the Fifty Shades Freed “All Sensation” Nipple and Clitoral Chain Combo and decided to give it a try because it’s part of the book author’s authorized sex toy and accessory collection, which meant I could introduce it to my partner under those pretenses instead of trying to show off out of nowhere. So, was this thing everything I needed it to be or was I left with my hands in the air? Well, let’s make sure you know what I’m talking about first.
What Is the Fifty Shades Freed “All Sensation” Combo?
This contraption is simple: It’s a clit clamp and nipple clamp combo. The only difference is that it’s made to thrill more than just the erogenous zones of the wearer. Crafted out of polished metal and featuring sexy, sophisticated aesthetics that enhance the appearance of the wearer’s skin, the Fifty Shades Freed “All Sensation” Nipple and Clitoral Chain Combo is unlike anything else you’ll find. Made to increase sensitivity and boost arousal on contact, these durable clips and their detachable chain provide a steady stream of pressure while remaining user-friendly enough to be enjoyed by non-masochists.
The Main Features
The All Sensation Chain Combo by Fifty Shades Freed features a slide-to-fit design that offers a relatively wide range of pressure for a more customized fit. Each of the three attached and adjustable clamps have a sleek silicone covering on them to protect the skin and decrease the level of intensity from the pinch. The 3-way chain is polished to a shine and measures a body-friendly 27.5 inches, which is usually ideal for most users. Furthermore, it comes with miniature O-rings that can attach additional weights and/or restraint accessories from the brand’s enormous BDSM collection and the two nipple clamps are elongated to look better on the body, while the pussy clamp features a series of dangling balls that cascade down either side of the clitoris, all in all giving the appearance of wearing genital jewelry without the commitment of a piercing.
What Comes in the Box?
The boxes of modern-day pleasure accessories aren’t usually equipped with a bunch of freebies or extras because, well, the accessory IS the extra (even if it’s not free). On top of that, many manufacturers prefer to spend their production money on making and packaging a unique device, not capturing and keeping customers who enjoy something for nothing. It’s a tough world out there, ladies and gentlemen, but at least the “All Sensation” Clamps have what you need. They come already assembled and inside a small box or bag (depending on where you buy it, which is really important). They’re also boxed with a small, drawstring pouch for storage and the maker provides a serial number for each one to prove its inclusion in Fifty Shades Freed – The Official Pleasure Collection approved by author E L James. You won’t find any lubes or toy cleaning supplies with your item though, so plan ahead because you’ll probably need both.
The Experience
When it comes to trying out new sex toys and accessories, it’s important to really think about the kinds of experiences you want versus the kinds of experiences you can actually have. Not all products are made the same, even similar ones, which means there has to be a clear-cut boundary between quality and quandary. The best way to set up those boundaries is to create some criteria with which you judge everything that crosses your path. The criteria has to be specific to the product being tested, of course, but at least you’ll have a good idea about what’s in your hand. As for the Fifty Shades Freed Nipple and Clit Clamps, here’s how my experience played out based on the pre-set guidelines I’ve come up with:
- The Dimensions
In my humble opinion, I think this toy is most ideal for shorter to average height people. That chain is definitely not long enough for someone tall, but the clamps are good for clits and nipples big or small. All three of them open up wide and they clamp down pretty strong, but I was afraid to let my partner move around too much considering the fact that she’s almost 6’1″. It’s a good thing they made the clamps adjustable because we needed a little more wiggle room than was provided and we learned it the hard way.
- The Materials
As for my experience with the materials, I felt like they were of pretty good quality overall. The silicone tips were a nice touch, especially for beginners, I just wish they were removable so we could have kicked things up a notch. Also, the chain is sturdy enough to be tugged on quite a bit but don’t go crazy with it because it can and will break if you’re not careful. We had it all rigged up and the next thing we knew, our O-ring was flying across the room at the speed of light because somebody stood up too fast. Don’t be like us.
- The Sensations
The sensations were good and tight as long as the adjustable clamps were on the right setting. Even with the non-removeable silicone covers the pinch was substantial enough to get my point across (on both parts). I loved using them after they were heated and/or cooled. Just be sure to add some good water-based lube to keep the metal from sticking to the skin. Don’t make me tell you how I know that because I will and you’ll never look at me the same way again.
- The Functionality
This thing made it much easier for me to convince my partner to be kinky with a little bondage experimentation, but it’s mostly because she knew we couldn’t get too extreme. There are no overly intense sensations to be had with the “All Sensation” clamp combo, but the presence is certainly palpable enough to suffice for beginners and/or pros who want a multi-purpose pussy clamp with some aesthetic appeal.
The Ups and Downs
I don’t talk about perfection anymore. I’ve learned the hard way to searching for a product without any flaws is a good way to get duped into buying something junky just because you didn’t know any better. For me, the hunt for my ideal pleasure products always begins with a clear understanding of what I’m getting myself (or my partner) into. The pros and cons are carefully considered before any money is spent and that’s what I think you should be doing right now too, because marketers are more clever than you and this time we’re playing for points. Here’s what I think you know:
PROS
- Attractive on the skin
- Long chain for several body types
- Silicone coated clamps for better sensations and control
- Compatible with weights, chains and attachments
- Multi-purpose design for maximum versatility
- Durable construction for enhanced security
- Made from skin-safe materials
CONS
- May not fit all user’s bodies
- Silicone coating not removable
The Takeaway
It may not be the perfect pleasure accessory but it certainly has enough durable construction and skin-safe components to make it ideal for most people. With a smooth, shiny finish and a long, sturdy chain that runs all the way from the nipples to the clit, it’s easy to see why this particular device has sold by the truckload thus far. My best guess is that it’s made for one of two kinds of people: 1) Those who enjoy gentle yet noticeable pressure on their clitoris and titties, or 2) Those who want to enhance the appearance of their body through detachable jewelry that doubles as a fetish gear. Either way, you’re getting a well-made product that’s crafted by a trusted manufacturer and shipped alongside a convenient storage container. And for a simple accessory that’s meant to be shoved inside your dresser drawer when you’re done using it, that’s not too bad of a deal. Besides, it’s great for individuals and couples so you can do almost anything with it.
