Did you know that your nipples are an extremely erotic erogenous zone? So while many people are totally in awe of a woman’s breasts, their nipples are just as swoon-worthy to look at and to play with. And actually, the element of pain often equals pleasure when it comes to stimulating this area. 

So, let’s get into everything you need to know about how to use nipple clamps to increase the intensity of your orgasms, shall we?

Nipple Clamps to Increase the Intensity of Your Orgasm

Perhaps you’ve heard of nipple clamps, and are intrigued. Or maybe you’re the complete opposite, harbouring feelings of anxiety or fear when you hear the words ‘nipple clamp’. 

For many, it’s believed that nipple clamps are solely used in the BDSM community during BDSM play, but this isn’t the case. In fact, this type of sex toy is quite discrete and need not be used in extreme ways. They can merely be used as an aid to heighten sexual satisfaction and to intensify one’s orgasms.

There are many people outside of the world of kink who love using this type of sex toy, so it really doesn’t hurt to simply learn more about them, right? Let’s begin!

What are Nipple Clamps?

Nipple clamps are a sex toy that’s used to squeeze erect nipples which, in turn, restricts the blood flow to them. When this happens, the nipples become even more sensitive and a feeling of pain plus pleasure can be felt. 

What’s great about nipple clamps is that they can be used by everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, the amount of breast tissue, or the size of the nipples. 

These sex toys are perfect for those who love having their nipples stimulated, pinched or bit, and have been made to intentionally promote pleasurable sexual stimulation. In fact, using them can promote a rush of endorphins and elevate your orgasms, allowing for a full body rush.

What do Nipple Clamps do and Are They Painful?

To look further into what nipple clamps do, these enticing sex toys get placed behind the nipple, on the areola, and then promote the nipples to swell significantly. 

This causes extra blood flow to the nipples without allowing the blood to leave quickly, increasing their levels of sensitivity. When this is done, the colour of your nipples will darken, and any kind of touch will feel more intense than usual.

Nipple clamps are a great focal point for foreplay, and can be used in isolation or as an extra bit of pleasure during other kinds of sexual activity. In fact, nipple clamps can be used during solo play, so anyone can enjoy the effects of euphoric nipple play.

Then the question remains: does using a nipple clamp hurt? Well, for beginners, you’ll definitely feel a pinch (pardon the pun). The good news is, you can choose the type of nipple clamp that you feel may suit your desires or fuel your inquisitive nature, and you can adjust them in such a way that you feel pleasure.

With research, you can find a pair of nipple clamps that are either less or more intense, and learn how to use them to get started. Our recommendation would be to begin pinching the nipples yourself or having a partner pinch or bite them before you start using nipple clamps. In this way, you can decide whether this kind of nipple stimulation is for you or not.

But all in all, using nipple clamps in order to heighten your pleasure will have an element of pain. This kind of pain need not be intense however. It is a kind of pain that feels pleasurable. 

If you are in the BDSM community or wish to feel intense pain that you know will lead to sexual pleasure, nipple clamps can be tightened and used accordingly.

Nipple clamps need not be something to be afraid of though, and we encourage those who love a bit of nipple stimulation to give them a try.

6 Different Kinds of Nipple Clamps

When it comes to nipple clamps, there is no one-size-fits-all. Just like other sex toys, there are various kinds of nipple clamps, each with their own design, functions, and levels of intensity. Here are six kinds of nipple clamps to get acquainted with…

1. Alligator Nipple Clamps

This kind of nipple clamp actually resembles an alligator’s mouth, hence the name “alligator nipple clamps”. This kind of nipple clamp has two metal pads that are wider and flatter than most models, and often have a rubber coating over the metal pads. The rubber coating is to soften the impact against your skin. Alligator nipple clamps are recommended for beginners as you can ‘clamp’ them in different ways, allowing you to find different levels of pressure.

2. Tweezer Nipple Clamps

Another nipple clamp that’s perfect for beginners is tweezer nipple clamps. These clamps look like a pair of tweezers and often have a rubber enclosure over the tip to soften the clamp on the nipple. This nipple clamp is generally quite long which means that pressure can be increased or decreased depending on your preference. Tweezer nipple clamps also have a metal ring surrounding the “arms”. When this metal ring is moved away from the body, less pressure can be felt.

3. String Nipple Clamps

String nipple clamps come with an adjustable string loop which can be tightened around the nipple in order to feel pressure. The tighter the loop, the more intense the pressure. This kind of nipple clamp is simple and easy to use, and is an excellent option for those who are allergic to different kinds of metal.

4. Vibrating Nipple Clamps

If it’s an extra oomph you’re after, and you’ve already experimented quite a bit with nipple clamps, vibrating nipple clamps are a great way to change things up. Instead of going more and more intense, using vibrating nipple clamps adds in a different kind of sensation along with intensity, creating a mixture of new stimulation. Vibrating nipple clamps are usually bulkier than your non-vibrating ones, as there must be space for a motor.

5. Magnetic Nipple Clamps

Small yet powerful, magnetic clamps don’t really resemble your average kind of nipple clamp. They use petite magnets that have the power to add just as much pressure as other clamps, but in a much more discrete fashion. In fact, these kinds of sex toys have a resemblance to nipple piercings. The down side to magnetic nipple clamps for beginners however is that they’re non-adjustable.

6. Clover Nipple Clamps

Clover nipple clamps are arguably the most common kind of nipple sex toy, but are not often recommended for beginners. They resemble various tools that one would find in fabric work and papermaking, hence the name ‘clover’, and each set has two clamps joined together by a chain. When you use clover nipple clamps, you can increase the intensity by pulling on the chain, but the only way to decrease intensity is to remove them completely.

Nipple Play for Even Better Orgasms

Before we dive into how you can increase the intensity of your orgasm using nipple clamps, let us tell you why nipple play is so powerfully erotic and climax inducing. 

You see, the nipples have a high concentration of nerve endings. And when it comes to pleasure, the more nerve endings, the better. But that’s not the only reason why nipple stimulation is so amazingly delightful.

When the nipples are stimulated, they actually send a message to your genital sensory cortex, which is the same part of the brain that lights up when sensations are felt on the clitoris and cervix. For that reason, nipple orgasms, aka having an orgasm from nipple stimulation alone, is entirely possible.

How do You Best Use Nipple Clamps to Increase Your Pleasure?

Firstly, it’s all about finding the right pair of nipple clamps. Look out for a pair that comes with an adjuster, which will allow you to ease yourself into the experience and to feel different levels of pressure. 

Once you’ve found a pair of nipple clamps that you love, you can begin using them to increase your levels of pleasure and ultimately, enjoy an even more intense orgasm. 

With that, let’s get right in it and talk about how to increase the intensity of your orgasms using nipple clamps.

Nipple Clamp Preparation

• Start slowly and prep the area by getting the skin warm, massaging the breasts, then softly squeezing the nipples. (if you’re with a partner, they can suck and worship them).
• When you begin to feel aroused, you can take a deep breath and clip on the clamp before exhaling.
• Once clamped, it may take some time to feel the sensation, so you can continue to stimulate the area.

Once you feel your desired level of stimulation with your nipple clamps, you can go for gold:

If you’re playing solo, you could simply have your nipple clamps on whilst masturbating. And if you’re with a partner, you can engage in foreplay activities, penetrative sex, or whatever other sexual activity you’re after.

Then, when you’re close to orgasm, you can remove the clamps which will not only prompt a blood flow rush to the nipples but also release the chemical oxytocin. 

Oxytocin is released during orgasm, so it’s safe to say that you’ll be experiencing an even higher concentration of this feel-good hormone, allowing you to heighten the intensity of your orgasm and to feel even more satisfied afterwards.

Nipple Clamp Safety Tips

It’s normal to be fairly cautious or a bit nervous to use nipple clamps for the first time. But whether you’re a newbie or a regular user, there are some safety tips to adhere to.

• Don’t leave nipple clamps on for more than 10 to 15 minutes
• Don’t use nipple clamps shortly after getting your nipples pierced
• Listen to your body and realise the difference between pain and pleasurable pain
• Communicate with your partner if you’re using nipple clamps with someone
• Keep an eye on the colour of your flesh above the clamp
