No pinching, but not the best curler I've used.
First let me say that I LOVE that this doesn't pinch like other curlers.  However, it seems like it's much more difficult to get a really nice curl with this one.  I have to really work to get my lashes to curl when using this one, and with other curlers, it just takes one or two squeezes.  I have really long lashes, so it's not like it should be that difficult.  But overall, I like that it never pinches, so I'm keeping it.
