I’ve never had particularly sensitive nipples—except for the first time I went to a clothing-optional beach and failed to use enough sunblock—so I was excited to try the Lovense Gemini. These are vibrating nipple clamps from Lovense, a brand whose sex toys I’ve had good experiences with. Many partners have had sensitive nipples, so I was curious if I could join their ranks with the Gemini. Priced usually under $80, they’re an affordable way to enhance bedroom fun.
**Great for Enthusiasts and Beginners**
After fully charging the Gemini, which takes about an hour, I tried it on myself. What I love is that I can attach the clamps’ base to my bra (there’s a cord for those who don’t wear bras), making them completely hands-free. The Gemini is app-controlled (available on Android and iOS), allowing me to explore various intensities and patterns—quite enjoyable, even alone. Adding a bullet vibrator made the experience even more thrilling in a subtle, kinky manner. The adjustable clamps offer options for a tight squeeze, a light hold, or something in between.
Unlike other intimate products I’ve reviewed, I received feedback from a few individuals with the Gemini. Especially among those who love nipple play. Though I liked the vibrations, I realized I ultimately prefer a partner’s tongue or a slight graze of their teeth.
Of the three nipple-play enthusiasts I used the Gemini with—one straight and two gay men—all became immediate fans of the toy. They appreciated the hands-free feature and the simplicity of the Lovense Remote app. Picture an experiment where I held the app while three men awaited their turn to try the Gemini. Each had different preferences for intensity and clamp tightness, illustrating how adaptable the Gemini is for anyone into nipple play.
**Easy to Use**
The Gemini is well-made and waterproof—perfect for enjoying in the shower—and offers two hours of run time when fully charged. The device is discreet, ideal for public play where one partner enjoys the vibrations as the other controls them.
