Vampire Gloves S-XL

These leather vampire gloves bring a wickedly tactile edge to sensation play. Metal tacks — each approximately 1/8" long — are set into the fingertips, so every slow drag across the skin produces a trail of prickly, spine-tingling sensation that raises instant goosebumps. The leather construction keeps the rest of the glove smooth and supple, letting you alternate between silky caresses and sharp-tipped teasing in one fluid motion. Especially delicious paired with a blindfold, the gloves are available in four sizes — Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large — sized by measuring around the fullest part of the hand (excluding the thumb) or from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the hand, whichever measurement is larger. Right-handed wearers should measure the right hand; left-handed wearers the left.

Vampire Gloves features:

• Nickel-plated metal tacks on each fingertip, approximately 1/8" long

• Suitable for solo Dom use or partnered BDSM scenes

Intensity & Experience Level

Level: Beginner — Sensation: Prickly / sensory-stimulation

These gloves sit at the lighter end of sensation play — the tacks prickle and excite rather than pierce, making them forgiving for first-timers and easy to moderate with hand pressure. Light strokes produce tingles; firmer strokes amplify the sharpness, so the wearer always holds the intensity dial.

Who is this product for?

• BDSM beginners: Those curious about sensory and kink play who want a low-barrier entry point that doesn't demand deep experience.
• Doms, tops, and sensation givers: Power dynamic players who want a visually intimidating, tactilely precise tool for teasing during scenes.
• Sensualists: Anyone who craves goosebumps, tactile variety, and heightened body awareness — especially effective alongside blindfolds.
• Couples experimenting with touch play: Partners looking to explore non-penetrative arousal techniques that build connection and anticipation.
• Experienced players adding texture: Those who already use restraints or blindfolds and want to deepen sensory layering.

How to use the Vampire Gloves?

1. Size correctly: Measure around the fullest part of your hand (excluding the thumb) and from the tip of the middle finger to the base. Use the larger of the two measurements to select your size.
2. Put the gloves on: Press each finger fully into place so the tacks are secure, aligned, and facing outward at the fingertips.
3. Warm up with leather strokes: Begin with soft caresses using the smooth leather side of the glove to relax and sensitise your partner's skin before introducing the tacks.
4. Comfort checkpoint: Do a single test stroke with the tack side and check in with your partner — confirm the sensation is welcome before continuing.
5. Explore intentionally: Use slow, deliberate strokes with the metal tacks over arms, neck, thighs, back, and torso. Avoid the face, genitals, mucous membranes, and any broken or irritated skin.
6. Layer sensory tools: Introduce a blindfold or light restraints to heighten anticipation — not being able to see where the next touch lands intensifies every sensation.
7. Try different positions: Face-down on a bed allows full back-to-toe exploration; straddling the hips gives full-body control; a seated, blindfolded partner maximises anticipatory tension.
8. Stop or release: If your partner signals discomfort or uses a safe word, remove the gloves immediately and check in. Never continue past a clear stop signal.

Techniques & ways to play

• Solo Dom practice: Wear the gloves alone to rehearse stroke pressure and fingertip placement before introducing them in a partnered scene.
• Light trailing: Drag just the tack tips very lightly in long lines along the spine, inner arms, or calves for a barely-there prickling effect.
• Pressure variation: Alternate between feather-light passes and slightly firmer drags in the same session to keep the receiver guessing.
• Temperature pairing: Warm the leather briefly before use for a contrasting cool-tack vs. warm-leather sensation in the same stroke.
• Blindfold play: Remove visual cues so the receiver focuses entirely on where the next touch lands — amplifies every prickle significantly.
• Dom/sub dynamic: The Dom controls speed, pressure, and location; the sub holds no physical control over the gloves. Negotiate zones, limits, and a safe word clearly before the scene begins — never escalate to new areas without verbal confirmation.

Pairs well with / Complete the scene

• Blindfolds: Remove visual input to dramatically heighten skin sensitivity and anticipation during glove play.
• Restraints or bondage tape: Keeping the receiver still lets the sensation giver maintain full control of where the tacks land.
• Feather ticklers: Alternate between the sharp prickle of the tacks and the soft sweep of a feather for intense sensation contrast.
• Leather care conditioner: A required consumable — condition the leather regularly to keep gloves supple and prevent cracking.
• Collections to explore: Sensation Play, BDSM Starter Kits.

How to clean and care

• Leather cleaning: Wipe the leather body with a damp cloth and a mild leather-safe cleaner after each use.
• Tack cleaning: Gently wipe nickel-plated metal tacks with a disinfecting wipe; allow to dry fully before storing.
• Drying: Air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources — excessive heat can crack and warp the leather.
• Lubricant compatibility: Not applicable — do not apply lubricants directly to this product.
• Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding, heavy stacking, or compression that could bend or dull the tack points or distort the glove shape.

Additional information

• Versatility: Suitable for solo Dom practice, partnered sensory teasing, and incorporation into broader BDSM ritual scenes.
• Stimulation type: External use only — designed for trailing, teasing, and light scratching across the skin surface.
• Pressure control: Intensity is entirely hand-controlled — light strokes deliver tingles; increased pressure amplifies the prickling experience without any additional tools.
• Accessibility: No complex mechanisms or controls; works for a wide range of hand sizes when the correct size is selected using the measurement guide.
• Dexterity requirement: Wearers need medium to fine hand control to direct pressure and guide stroke direction effectively.

Special considerations / warnings

• Skin safety: Tacks are prickly but not designed to break healthy skin — however, never use over broken, irritated, or inflamed skin, or near mucous membranes.
• Nickel sensitivity: Metal tacks are nickel-plated. Individuals with known nickel allergies should avoid prolonged skin contact with the tack tips.
• Mobility requirement: Effective use requires hand and finger mobility to wear the gloves and direct controlled pressure.
• Keep away from children and pets: Tack points present a puncture hazard — store securely out of reach.
• Consent: Always negotiate touch zones, pressure limits, and a clear safe word before beginning any sensation scene. Never escalate without explicit agreement.
• No penetrative use: These gloves are for external, surface sensation only.

18+ only. For consensual adult use.
