Nipple pleasure is processed by the same area of the brain as vaginal or clitoral pleasure. And, when we go out and splurge on a dildo or vibrator, our nipples end up being forgotten.
Using nipple clamps doesn’t have to be part of hardcore BDSM porn (Unless you want them to be.) They can be delicate, subtle, and gentle.
First, figure out which clamp is best for you.
Fixture Type
Separate or connect – Clamps are either attached to a chain or used alone. There is no right or wrong choice here, but a chain adds something extra…
Chain – They work in two ways. First, they add weight to the clip. Second, they create additional movement. Each of these adds extra excitement. They can also be very pretty.
weight – They function similarly to chains but can add more weight and tension.
Alligator Clips
Also called alligator clips. Some people like the adjustability of screws, while others find them cumbersome. Personally, I find nothing wrong with them. However, they are not as “stylish” as tweezers.
Tweezers

These bad guys are indeed adjustable – just move the ring closer to the clamp to tighten it, or move the ring further away to give it a gentle squeeze.
Suitable for beginners to advanced users.
Vibrator fixture
They are usually alligator clips, but have a small vibrator attached to each end to increase the uniformity of the more Stimulate.
While fun, they are cumbersome and not ideal for public use if you want to wear them under a shirt.
Magnetic clamp

These aren’t meant for beginners – there’s no way to adjust the pressure (which also depends on the strength of the magnets).
I was told that the pressure they were under was considerable.
But they look fun.
Shamrock Clip
Pulling the chain down changes the pressure from medium to higher.
If the basic pressures are too much for you, it’s best not to use them, as you can’t adjust them down, only up. Intermediate and above are better.

Buyer Tips
There aren’t many suggestions. Aside from the obvious ones like comfort and circulation, there’s also…
- Be careful if you are allergic to metal
- If you are concerned, you can buy one with a rubber tip
- Check other accessories to make sure they are in good condition
- Beginners should use an adjustable clamp
- The average selling price is about $20
Safety and precautions
Don’t put something on someone else that you wouldn’t try on yourself. You don’t have to wear it to the extreme, but at least try it on so you know how your partner will feel.
Also, the general consensus is that you shouldn’t wear them for longer than 15 minutes each time.

I don’t know why people are complaining about these being too tight – the word “premium” in the title is spot on. However, yes A legitimate complaint is that they lose their seal after a few uses and the metal loses its integrity.
Without the rubber to increase friction, they are more likely to fall off. They are also larger than many people expect (mostly because the buyer didn’t bother to read the size or check Someone holding a photo of them.

I like this new style that is different from the regular clamps. Users like the quality of the material and find the vibrations to be acceptable. However, many do not like these adjusters and find that they do not hold very well. I would not spend a fortune on them considering the options available on the market.

Even though the clamps are rubber-tipped and adjustable, they are not for the faint of heart.
The included weight weighs 108 grams and “will pull hard.”

These are a bit shady. Lovehoney reviews give them pretty high marks, while Amazon reviewers really hate them and say they don’t stay clamped in place to protect your
Life. The magnets are a cool idea, and a nice decoration, but for forty bucks I would find a way to check them out in person before buying.

I love these. Pretty and adjustable. These charms might be a little big if you like something delicate.
Apparently, you can also use them to decorate and stimulate your clitoris – which can be fun and worth a try.
This is another great option for those who are just starting to practice nipple play.

As someone who is allergic to nickel and can’t buy most jewelry, I love that they go out of their way to tell you what the pieces are made of.
But if you have larger breasts, I wonder how they would fit.
Also, the pearls are just plastic, but what else would you expect considering the price?

These little guys are clips that go far beyond their shiny exterior.
They’re also pretty big — which can be a good or bad thing, depending on personal preference.
No big issues. Standard clamp. Reasonable price.

Clamps aren’t just for women. Men can enjoy the pleasure of clamps, too. If your man has small nipples and needs something lighter to grip (these clamps have to grip tighter to stay put), that’s something to worry about. Straps that go over the penis are a good option and can be adjusted to fit different torso sizes.

Just for fun, let’s look at these luxurious options… They are 18k gold and cost $5,270.
They also say they are adjustable (which is best) and can be worn other place. I also liked that they included safety rules in the description.
If I had the money, would I buy this? Well, I’d rather buy it as a gift… I certainly wouldn’t say no.
