Are metal sensory fingertips sharp? They do not have to be. Sensory fingertips are metal caps worn over the ends of the fingers to make touch feel more focused. These have rounded tips, so they press and trace instead of cutting. A light drag across the skin gives a cool, prickling tease. A firmer press gives a concentrated point of pressure. The metal itself adds to the sensation, since it starts cool against warm skin. How intense it gets is set entirely by the hand wearing them.
Metal Sensory Fingertips: five points of teasing pressure
The Sex and Mischief Sensory Fingertips by Sportsheets are a set of five metal tips that fit over the fingers. The metal is nickel-free and the ends are rounded. Wear all five on one hand for a full claw, or split them between both hands. Drawn lightly over the skin they tease, and pressed more firmly they move into pressure play.
The design is sleek and plain, in black. The maker pitches them at newcomers and experienced players alike, since the wearer controls how gentle or intense each touch is.
Best for: For couples exploring sensation play who want a simple tool with a wide range. They suit slow teasing over the back, chest and thighs, and work well with a blindfold, when the wearer cannot see where the next touch will land.

How to use
Fit the tips over your fingers, either all five on one hand or a few on each. Test them on your own arm so you know how light and firm pressure feel. Start with slow, feather-light strokes over your partner's back or thighs. Add pressure gradually and ask for feedback. Keep away from the eyes and from broken skin, and ease off if you see scratches forming.
Care
- Wash the tips with warm water and mild soap after use.
- Dry them thoroughly so the metal does not spot.
- Store them together in a pouch or small box.
- Check each tip for dents or rough spots before use.

Frequently asked questions
How many fingertips are in the set?
Five. The maker suggests wearing all five on one hand or dividing them between two hands, depending on the kind of touch you want to give. Each tip is worn on a separate finger.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
The fingertips are made of nickel-free metal, which the maker lists as a feature. Nickel is a common cause of skin reactions to metal, so nickel-free hardware is the safer choice if you are sensitive.
How do these differ from the Brat Sensory Fingertips?
These are plain black metal with rounded tips. The Brat Sensory Fingertips are rose gold with decorative tips and are listed as adjustable. Both are used the same way, for tickling and pressure play.
