How to Use Nipple Clamps

How to Use Nipple Clamps -Advice at Sh! Women's Store

Nipple clamps are very popular in the kink & BDSM communities, but you don't have to be kinky to enjoy playing with them! Read on to find out why nipple clamps are so popular and how you can integrate them into your own sex play.

What are nipple clamps?

As the name suggests, nipple clamps are small toys that clamp onto nipples. Clamps are great for hands-free play. It allows you the freedom of doing other delicious things with your hands, like finger play or spanking.

Nipple clamps are designed to be placed on the nipples to provide a pinching sensation. As you become more aroused, breasts and nipples become receptive to stronger stimulation.

This is where the delights of nipple clamps come in.

Different Types of Nipple Clamps

Ā 

Vibrating nipple clamp sex tip: Nipple clamps can be used for other parts of the body too. We're especially fond of using vibrating nipple clamps as labia clamps. The vibrating clips are made from plastic and are gentler to use than metal clamps. Once the clamps are placed on the labia, the vibration causes the whole labia to vibrate. This is just delicious if you enjoy buzzing thrills and ramps up oral sex or finger play.Ā 

How to Use Nipple Clamps?

Start off by playing with the nipples until erect and filled with blood. When you feel ready, gently attach the clamp at the base of the nipple, just by the areola. This will deliver a deliciously achy feeling many people find pleasurable.

If you want more sensation, clamp directly onto the nipple. This delivers feelings of having your nipples pinched. This forces the blood out from the nipple, leaving you with a dull, almost numb sensation.

When nipple clamps are first attached, expect a short, sharp twinge. As blood flow to the area is gradually cut off by the nipple clamp, this feeling subsides to a slow, sensual throbbing.

If the nipple clamps are jostled, or theĀ nipple clamp chainĀ is pulled, sharper sensations will return.Ā 

Start off gently and leave the clamps on for a few minutes only. Over time, you'll be able to build up to longer periods but give your nips a restĀ around the 20-minute mark.

When you release the clamps, make sure to do so gently (unless the ouch factor is desired). Removing the clamps will cause a flood of blood back into the nipples, and sensations can feel overwhelming.

Stroking and kissing them better can be soothing. And sexy!

Note: Clamps are by nature pretty heavy to be attached to something smallish such as a nipple. Add sweat, passion and body moves and it's not unusual for them to slip off, even when positioned behind the nipple, there's really nothing you can do about slippage, except attaching thenm again.Ā 

How to Intensify Orgasms with Nipple Clamps?

Nipple play shoots off sparks in the genital sensory cortex, the same area in the brain thatā€™s aroused by clitoral or vaginal stimulation.

Removing the clamps at the point of climax allows for blood to rush back into the nipples. Nipple play and orgasms both release a chemical called oxytocin, so you'll be in for a super-charged rush!
