The Kinky Toybag Tour - Vampire Gloves

Thus begins the first installment of my Kinky Toybag Tour. This series will walk you through the many varied items in my toybag - many of which were gifted to me by a very generous ex-fiance who married a non-kinky woman. Lucky me! And lucky you... here we go...


Vampire Gloves are one of the best gateway toys I've found. In other words, they are one of the most successful tools for introducing kinky toys to otherwise inexperienced or "vanilla" partners.

Why? Because vampire gloves, while a sensual toy, apply a type of sensation that we don't usually experience... Scratchy.

These gloves essentially have small tacks poking through the surface of the fingers and sometimes palms. If you like the feeling of having your back scratched, lightly or more heavily, you will adore the feeling of vampire gloves. In this case however, you are not dependent on the quality of the scratcher's nails, and you will experience multiple fine points of pin-prickly scratch over a wide area of skin.

You can press them into the flesh for one sensation, drag them lightly for another, press harder and drag for something more intense, or even spank lightly with them. They will not puncture the skin unless used with a lot of force, like slapping or hard squeezing. The feeling of scrape over fleshy areas like the breasts and ass cheeks is very different than the feeling over thighs and arms, not to mention bony areas like the rib cage or jaw.

If you do get blood on them, you need to spray them down with an antiseptic disinfectant. Here's a great overview of safer kinky sex that includes a section on cleaning toys. However, given that the leather of the gloves is porous, getting them truly disinfected without damaging the material is VERY difficult, and I suggest you avoid truly rough play with this toy.

Kinklab's gloves with tacks only in the fingers, as shown, are relatively inexpensive, and can be purchased from LoverSource for $24.10 through Amazon. These same gloves sell for $40+ at other stores.

My gloves also have tacks covering the palm, and while I've been unable to find my particular brand and style online, I have found these which can be purchased for $65 through SilentVampire.com.

If you are open to dipping your toes in the realm of new sensation, Vampire Gloves are a great place to start.
