Two rounded prongs delve deep into their innermost areas, spreading them wide and keeping them stretched open and at your mercy. It is designed to open and hold position on its own, so once it is set you do not have to hold it in place. This piece is sold by BDSM Authority as part of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/medical-play\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003emedical play and exam equipment\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUsing it is direct: squeeze the handle until they reach your desired width, and the self-retaining mechanism keeps them open until you release it. That leaves both of your hands free to explore other pleasures while your partner stays exposed. The maximum spread reaches 6 inches, with the prongs measuring 1.75 inches in width each, so the exposure is real without being extreme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt suits couples exploring power exchange through clinical scenes, where exposure and helplessness are the point.

The self-retaining handle locks the prongs at your chosen width and keeps them there under tension, so the scene stays exactly where you put it.
