To me, though, they are fairly tight even with the slides all the way at the ends, so it might still hurt too much. BUT I've read that you can make these yourself with chopsticks or some other sticks and rubber bands, and I would think that you could adjust them better that way. You could even put a small piece of cotton or something at each end between the chopsticks to sort of shim them out so they can't get too tight.
I was going to suggest chopsticks or bamboo skewers with rubber bands but leah beat me to it basically. Also you can twist the nipples with them on.
