Very well-made and plenty fun whether you're you like a little pain or a lot. If they sound appealing to you, they most likely will be. I mainly posted this review because they really ought to include measurements since there's no returns on this item. Here's one from an external site that was helpful.

To determine your glove size follow these directions.

1. Measure around the hand at the fullest part. (not including the thumb)
2. Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the hand.
3. Use the LARGEST of the two measurements for the correct glove size.
4. If you are RIGHT handed, take measurements from your RIGHT hand, if you are LEFT handed, take measurements from your LEFT hand.

X-Small J415 7 1/2"
Small J144 8 1/2"
Medium J145 9 1/2"
Large J114 10 1/2"
X-Large J116 11 1/2"

Vampire gloves tend to be a very expensive item; until I found these, I'd been unable to find them under $45 before shipping. These are surprisingly good for the price! There's not a whole lot that I can say; if you know enough to look for vampire gloves, you already know what they are: leather gloves with tiny spikes on the underside. If you feel the fingers it's fairly obvious that each spike is not independent, but rather part of a four-pronged square of metal embedded inside the leather. Each finger has about nine of these per finger, giving you a good coverage of spiky goodness. These Kinklab gloves are very comfortable, and the spikes are just the right length to break the skin without fully penetrating it. You can hurt someone with these, but you can't HURT someone with them. The only critique I have at all is that the spikes are ONLY in the fingers, and not covering the palm as well. Though honestly for the price (I paid $25 + S&H) they are absolutely amazing, and a MUST for anyone getting into BDSM and sensation play!

I suggest you order one size larger than you think you need. If you need extra large, you may be out of luck. The palms are smooth. That's a design defect. You will need needle-nose pliers to adjust the pins on the fingers.

the sizing chart isn't quite accurate. According to the chart and the measurements of the hand I bought these for, I would need a size medium. However, the fingers on the medium aren't quite long enough. The width is okay, and they're nicely snug rather than flapping about like work gloves sometimes can, but I think I'd go up a size next time to get a more accurate fit length-wise.
