Rough and ready

I am very pleased with these gloves. They are good for rough sex and just even just touching my partner in general sends her crazy.

I will be taking these on holidays. They are very good for the money you pay for them and I would say to anyone to get a pair and try them for yourselves.

Sexier than a Porcupine

In my innocence I'd never heard of vampire gloves before spotting them here. After doing a bit of research they appear to be quite popular, possibly because they are pretty simple to use and can work for both light sensation play and for causing actual pain, depending on how you wield them.

I have pretty small hands so, shockingly, thought the Small would be perfect. It was, although they were slightly larger than your standard small-sized leather gloves so don't be tempted to go up a size unless you're planning on wearing them over other gloves.

They're really comfy to wear - very buttery, supple leather, with a soft backing inside, really light without any real lining except another layer of thin leather behind the spikes. The tacks are in groups of four so there's plenty of freedom to flex fingers without hurting the stability of the spikes. And the popper button at the wrist ensures that they're easy to slip on and less so to slip off without intending to.

For using them, they're deliciously fun. I had my guy blindfolded and quite unnerved as to what I was doing, which really just added to the thrill. The spikes are sharp, but not enough so to penetrate the skin without some force. Gently stroking the flesh resulted in a slightly uncomfortable - though not at all unpleasant - prickling, and after a good period working on the same areas left some red marking, severe sensitivity, and some temporary 'dimpling' where I'd squeezed softly.

To the other end of the scale, spanking did result in lots of pinpricks of blood. I'd say it'd take a lot of effort to build up to a point where there's real bleeding, but it did add a whole new dimension to a standard spanking (and a bloody stain to my ill-conceived cream sheets!). Even at the point of bleeding, it wasn't too painful - although my fella has quite a high threshold - because it's millions of teeny tiny pinpricks instead of one massive gash, but it did make me feel decidedly evil, and provided an interesting change, especially with my OH not knowing exactly what I was doing to cause the sensation.

Used frequently

These are what my mistress calls my punishment gloves. They are called upon for no particular reason. They are used to keep me under her control. They are used quite frequently, and they are an important part of my training. They are specifically used so that at the end of my training I will only associate pleasure with pain.
