In the beginning, I had no sex toys, no sensation toys, no nothing – just my imagination and things I could muster up from the isles of dollar stores. One of my favorite sensation finds were those driving gloves – you know, the magic “one size fits all” winter gloves, that have a speckled plastic texture on the palms? Yeah, they’re fun rubbed all over naked bodies.

To that same end, and perhaps – a tad more sophisticated, are Vampire Gloves.

Sharp, Leathery, Sexy, Sultry Vampire Gloves.

In a Nutshell: Tight and sexy black leather gloves with slightly dull spikes all over the palms. A sensation smörgåsbord.

What’s Not So Awesome? Nothing. These are exactly as they are advertised to be, and they are totally cool!

These gloves are fantastic – a real sensory treat. Gliding gently across skin – any skin – will feel amazing, and will illicit a sensation along the lines of light shivers and uncontrollable quivers. With a firmer and firmer hand, they move somewhat towards light sadism, and will scratch up skin and perhaps draw a bit of blood with enough gusto. But really, their main “function” is to be light sensation givers, not pain instruments, so it takes a bit of effort to make them mean.

Fitwise, these gloves fit a bit more generously than latex and nitrile disposable gloves do. Personally, I war a medium disposable glove – but the small vampire gloves fit perfect. Keep in mind, as well, that the base of the vampire gloves is a pair of leather gloves – and leather stretches to lean the shape of the hand it belongs to. At any rate, I think basing your sizing for these gloves based on how disposable gloves fit will keep you on track with sizing – just remember, to error towards the smaller size if you’re between two.

Now, because these gloves are sharps, and leather, to boot, do remember that they fluid bind. If you have multiple play partners that you pay with, you’ll need a fresh pair per partner – and of course, one (or more, depending on hand sizes) for yourself. Complicated, I know!

I actually lost my pair of vampire gloves after one memorable night with them, but you know, they’re cool enough that I just went out and bought another pair. That says a lot. You should consider picking up your own set, they’re pretty sweet. And, frankly, better than dollar store driving gloves by leaps and bounds.
