Yes, we use them, but ours do not have studs; ours are covered in small needles. They feel incredible... very sexy, but be aware that (at least with the type we use) they do break the skin. Every smack comes with hundreds of skin punctures, and if the glove is then dragged across the skin after the needles are in, they leave cuts. Both the punctures and the cuts bleed, but not a lot.
