What are Nipple Clamps?

Nipple clamps are any object that can be used to pinch down on a nipple (man’s or woman’s, doesn’t matter). They hurt deeply and at the same time, restrict the blood flow which is pleasurable in its own way.

Clamps are almost always used in pairs – Well, obviously, what’s the point of a single clamp. They’re usually linked by a chain and in order to make the process more painful, weights are hung onto the chains to put even more pressure onto the nipples. The fun part about a nipple clamp is that the pain doesn’t subside when you take pressure off of the nipple. As soon as you remove the toy, a new surge of pain follows shortly after because of that sudden rush of blood to that part of the body.

Why Do People Use Them?

Nipple clamps are a common practice in the world of BDSM. Couple use them to add to the feeling of submission. There are several variants of the nipple clamp where they’re connected to a dog collar, a cock ring, a sex swing, etc. so that even a mere movement puts an immense amount of pressure on the nipples. So, the question you might be asking yourself, why would people put themselves through this amount of pain? Well, the simple answer is, it’s fun!

Different Types

When it comes to variations, we could keep going on and on while talking about the different variations of nipple clamps. But, in case you’re looking for the types of nipple clamps, there are three things that come to mind.

Clothes-Pin Clamps

These are the most basic type of nipple clamps and strongly resemble the shape and size of a regular clothes-pin. The clamp is made of two pieces of metal which are then linked together with a spring that keep the two connected firmly. There’s also a soft material like rubber or latex covering the tip of the clamp. Pain is one thing, but an exposed metal edge could damage the nipple severely. Apart from that, several manufacturers put screws on these clamps to adjust the screws to your liking.

Tweezer Clamps

Just like clothes-pin clamps, tweezer clamps get their name because of how similar the toy looks to an actual tweezer. The two ends of the tweezer don’t converge at the same point because that would just be straight up pain, not the pleasurable kind. The end are curved outwards a little big to improve grip on the nipple. Similar to the clothes-pin clamp, there is rubber covering on the tip to prevent damage to the nipple.

Clover Clamp

This version of the clamp comes from Japan and is designed to exert even more pression if the clamp is pulled. Once put into position, spring tension keeps the clamp in place and hurts a lot; when we say a lot, we mean A LOT. We’d only recommend the Clover Clamp to the pros out there because you will not find the clover pleasurable if it’s your first nipple clamp. If the pain of the clover isn’t enough, there’s also an option to add weights to the chain which pulls on the clamp and make it squeeze down even more on the clamp. A small piece of advice, make sure you don’t use these clamps for extended periods of time. They’re not made to be use for too long and if you keep using them, they might cause nipple irritation.

Using Clamps

Clamps aren’t particularly difficult to use. There’s just some pre-clamp things you need to do. Anything even remotely related to BDSM should only be done after the selection of a certain safe word. A safe word, as you obviously know, is a way to differentiate real pain from the aroused pain. If your partner feels comfortable, he / she can mutter the safe word and that means they need to be gotten out of any submissive sex toys ASAP.

Apart from that, we’d highly recommend that you get in the mood and arouse yourself before putting the clamps in place. For a lot of people, arousal acts as a way of mediating the pain which makes the clamp feel more fun. Don’t jump right into your clamps, more often than not, you’ll just get irritated.

One last thing, we suggest that you don’t use clamps for more than 30 minutes at a time. With a clamp, you’re restricting the blood flow to a certain part of the body, and because of that, you’re putting yourself at risk. Shorter intervals of blood loss for about 20-25 minutes isn’t harmful. But, anything exceeding 30 minutes could have it’s consequences.
