Whether you like to play rough or simply want to expand your sexual repertoire, nipple clamps can be a lot of fun when used properly. Learn how to put them on safely and how to use clamps during sex to enhance your pleasure.

How to Use Nipple Clamps

Playing with a woman’s breasts is often considered an integral part in the seduction, foreplay, and lovemaking routine. (But nipple play isn’t just for women. In fact, many men enjoy having their nipples stimulated as well.)

Whether it’s a gentle rub, flick or pinch, a lick of the tongue, nibble or a full-on suckling, it’s important to know what turns you on when it comes to nipple play.

Slowly caress your nipples and give them a gentle pinch every now and then to change the sensation. Do you prefer gentle or a slightly rougher handling of your nipples? That way you can tell your partner what feels best.

Another way you can experiment with stimulating the nipples is with temperature. Try brushing an ice cube or chilled glass dildo against your or your lover's nipples and watch them perk right up.

Then there are the NIPPLE TOYS made especially for tantalizing your titties!

What Are Nipple Clamps

While many people like having their nipples teased or licked during foreplay, you can experience even more of a thrill by pinching or squeezing them. And that’s why many love nipple clamps for their “hurts so good” thrill. Nipple clamps are quite simply small clamps that you attach to your nipples, but don't be scared away by the word “clamp.” Many of the nipple clamps offered by Adam and Eve have adjustable tension so you decide how tight you want them. And when it comes to these titty-rific toys, there is one out there to satisfy even the most discriminating of ta-tas.

Types Of Nipple Clamps

Just like with other sex toys, nipples get to enjoy a variety of different styles and sensations when it comes to clamps. From simple clip ons, to weighted balls that tug and tease, there is something for every taste and experience level.

Tweezer Clamps

Eve's Naughty Nipple Clamps

If you’re new to nipple toys then tweezer clamps are a great option. Like the name implies, they look like a pair of tweezers and feature an adjustable sliding ring to control the amount of pinch. Beginners can start with a gentle squeeze and work their way up, while more experienced users can jump straight to a tight & hard squeeze. They also have rubber or silicone on the tips to protect your buds from any harsh metal. Some even come with feathers, balls, or chains to dress things up. Check out Eve's Naughty Nipple Clamps!

Alligator Clamps

Crimson Tied Heart Padlock Nipple Clamps

These type of nipple toys clamp onto the nipples and use screws to adjust how soft or how hard the pinch is. They sometimes have “teeth” that add an extra “bite,” but these are normally covered by rubber or silicone for comfort. Since you control just how tightly they squeeze, alligator clamps are great for beginners and experienced users alike. And as with the tweezer variety, they can come with add ons to make your ta-tas look as good as they feel. You're sure to love the Crimson Tied Heart Padlock Nipple Clamps!

Clothespins

Clothespin Nipple Clamps

They’re not just for hanging laundry anymore. These simple pins clamp onto the nipple and are spring loaded, so there really isn’t a way to control the pressure. Look for ones that have the rubber tips to protect your own tips, unless you’re into a little pain with your pleasure. One of the best things about clothespin clamps is their discreetness. They're such an average, everyday item that you can leave them lying around anywhere. Any one who finds your clothespins would never think you use them for nipple play.

4-Point Press Clamps

Nipple Grips 4-Point Weighted Nipple Grips

This versatile style of clamp features 4 screws on each clamp that you can adjust individually by twisting. This allows you to customize the amount of pinch and pressure you put on your nipples. These clamps can really put the squeeze on your nipples, making them ideal for more intense play. They often have weights or chains for visual appeal and added sensations. Start your kinky thrills with the Nipple Grips 4-Point Weighted Nipple Grips!

Suckers

Fetish Fantasy Nipple Erector Set

Suction cups or pumps are small toys that create suction on the nipples. These toys range in size and utility. There are tiny little suction cups that neatly encase the nipple, to larger units that vibrate and have wired remote controls allowing you to increase and decrease the power. Some pumps even use a bulb to plump up your nipples, and then slide rubber rings over them to keep your nipples erect and stimulated. Get your suction on with the Fetish Fantasy Nipple Erector Set!

Weighted Clamps

Fetish Fantasy Crystal Nipple Clamps

When you want to add extra excitement and sensations to your nipple games, try some weight on for size. Featuring chains or balls that hang from the clamp, they pinch, pull, and tug at your titties. They’re the perfect way to spice things up and add some kink. You can also add heavier weights as you gain more experience. If your weighted clamps are chained, you or your lover can even give them a gentle pull or a firm yank during sex for additional stimulation. Give your nipples a real workout with the Fetish Fantasy Crystal Nipple Clamps!

Magnetic Clamps

Magnetic Nipple Clamps

For those looking for that tight squeeze, magnetic clamps provide that perfect pinch. Instead of using screws or rings, the magnets try to touch each other with your nip in the middle. This can result in a very intense pinch, making them better for more experienced users. Not only do they hold everything in place, you also get a more intense squeeze. Magnetic clamps generally provide a smoother, cleaner look compared to other styles.

Vibrating Clamps


Nipple Play Nipple Teasers

Vibrating nipple clamps work just like regular ones, but with the added thrill of buzzing sensations. Mini vibrators are attached to each clamp – providing a fun and playful buzz for both your nipples while pinching them just right. These are some of smallest vibrators, so they're not as strong as a vaginal or anal vibrator. Vibrating nipple clamps can be separate, stand-alone units or they can be linked together to a wired controller. Buzz your nipples just right with the Nipple Play Nipple Teasers!

Test your Nipple Clamps

Before trying to use your nipple clamps, you should test them out a less-sensitive body part first, such as the webbing between your thumb and fingers or your ear lobe. If you have adjustable nipple clamps, start off at the lightest pressure and slowly increase the tension until it feels just right. This allows you to experience firsthand how nipple clamps work and feel so you know what to expect.

Putting On Nipple Clamps

Wearing Nipple Clamps

Before putting on your clamps, you need to make sure your nipples are standing at attention. If they’re not already erect, take a few minutes to tease them until they’re nice and pointy. Once you’re in the mood, squeeze a clamp open and place your nipple between the jaws. Then gently close the clamp over your nipple. Adjust the clamp if needed to increase or decrease the pressure for the perfect pinch.

Using Nipple Clamps

Nipple stimulation is a great way to enhance your sex life, and by throwing in some toys designed for just that it can make lovemaking more enjoyable and fun. That’s why it’s important to get the most out of whatever clamp you choose.

Foreplay

Get the party started by squeezing and pinching your peaks. Nipple clamps increase sensitivity by gently reducing blood flow. (Almost the way a penis ring does in men.) This makes your breasts uber responsive, especially when they’re removed. Have your lover take them off, then blow on your buds or give them a lick. The rush of sensations will feel incredible, and you’ll be ready for the main event.

Sex with a Partner

Since alligator clamps are smaller, they are perfect to use during sex. You may not want to use the tweezer style clamps, as they may get caught up in the sheets or even your partner. Also be careful with a chain or weighted clamps if you are going to be doing it missionary. They could also get caught up in your bodies writhing away in the heat of passion. However, if you are going to use them during doggy or cowgirl, the swaying adds incredible sensation and gives your lover something to tug on and play with. Just make sure to always communicate and do what feels comfortable.

Masturbation

If you want to enjoy having your nipples played with during “me time,” clamps are the perfect addition to your solo sessions. They allow you to experience the pinch and thrill of your nips getting the attention they deserve, while keeping your hands free to explore other areas. Throw a set of Vibrating Nipple Clamps in and you may even have a breast inspired orgasm.

BDSM

Nipple clamps have long been a kinky staple in the world of bondage. Often called “sensation play” they provide intense stimulation that straddles the line between pleasure and pain. Placing them on your submissive can lead to a feeling of power as they take that first delighted gasp. As noted above, some clamps come with attached chains. The weight of these chains steadily tugs on your nipples – especially during physically demanding positions – for extra stimulation. These chains also give your partner something to pull on during sex and can even act as a leash.

And there’s reason for you to stop at your nipples. You can easily clip these babies onto your genitals, ear lobes and even tongue for additional stimulation.

How Long Can You Wear Nipple Clamps

These breast toys should never be worn for long periods of time, so we recommend using nipple clamps for no longer than 15 minutes. The pinching sensation interrupts blood flow to your nipples and can cause problems if you wear them all night long… no matter how good they might feel. After taking them off, you should let your nipples rest for 20-30 minutes before putting the clamps back on.

After playtime is over, remember to treat your nipples right, applying an unscented lotion or oil to soothe away any irritation or chafing. You'll want to keep your bosom buddies in tip-top shape for next time.
