When selecting new nipple jewelry, there are a few things you should keep in mind: material, threading, size, and style. Once you know what you want in each of those areas, choosing new nipple jewelry will be a piece of cake. Nipple Ring Materials There are commercially produced apparatus designed for nipple torture such as the nipple clamp, a device which is sold as a type of sex toy. [16] With many types of nipple clamps the degree of tightness is variable and the amount of pain produced is dependent upon how tightly they are applied. [23] The pinching restricts the blood flow and, when the attachments are removed, further pain may be caused by the return of normal blood flow. [24] Clamps may have smooth surfaces, plastic or rubber fittings or jagged edges. The last of these increases the pain when weights hung from the clamps tighten the pinch or add a tugging sensation that varies as the wearer moves. [25] Nipple clamps are sometimes sold with a chain connecting them so that a dominant can pull on it to create tension. [26] Alternatively nipple clamps may be attached to ropes, chains, or wall fixtures. [16] Place the nipple shield over your nipple so the 2 loops at the top line up with your fistula (i.e. hole where you were pierced). Designed with four fully-adjustable points of tension, a four-point nipple press is a great way to customize how you play. All you have to do is position the four screws around your nipple, then twist the tips to tighten 'em up. Plus, the fun shape of these (and the lil soft-capped tips) make them seem anything but intimidating.

Ideal for more advanced folks, this lightweight, multi-chain, gold-plated nipple-and-clit clamp set is simply divine. In addition to being adjustable, each tweezer clamp has silicone caps for comfort—and if a clit clamp sounds a bit too intense, you can also clip the extra clamp to other erogenous zones. Nipple clamps with a chain are great if you want to add another layer of sensation and tension, as you can tug on the chain connecting the nipple clamps for added stimulation—fun! These tweezer-style clamps come with PVC-coated tips (so you can enjoy all the pressure of nipple play without any marks afterward), as well as a lightweight metal connecting chain measuring 20 inches.If you decide to get a bent barbell, straight barbell or other jewelry with threading, it’s much better to opt for jewelry that has internal threading, like the bent barbells shown to the left. Internal threads are bored into the jewelry shafts, leaving the rough swirl of external threading on the balls or other ends that screw into the internally-threaded shafts. That means you have relatively smooth shafts to insert into your nipple piercings. Once a barbell’s in, you screw on a ball with a little threaded post attached to it, and the threading never touches your sensitive nipples! Size Matters Engle, Gigi (19 May 2017). "Why Nipple Clamps Are the Most Underrated Sex Toys in the World". Glamour. The breasts are sometimes used to satisfy a desire for erotic humiliation. Cruel or disparaging references to the breasts can be used to produce verbal humiliation, while physical humiliation can be achieved through discipline techniques [10] such as breast punishment. [11] As with other forms of erotic torture or humiliation breast torture can also be used to satisfy the erotic desire of the dominant with little to no pleasure for the submissive or as a form of corporal punishment. In these cases more painful methods may be used for longer periods so as to cause uncomfortable rather than pleasurable pain. [ citation needed]

First-timers should also look "for a pair that comes with an adjuster so you can ease your way into the level of pressure that feels right for you," says Polly Rodriguez, founder of Unbound, an online sex toy shop. She also advises against leaving clamps on for "more than 15 to 20 minutes" since you're cutting off blood flow. And remember, when engaging in any kind of BDSM play, aftercare is a must. Aggrawal, Anil (2008). Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices. CRC Press. p.149. ISBN 9781420043099. Why do people use nipple clamps, you ask? As double board certified gynecologist Dr. Monica Grover, DO, MS, tells us, nipple clamps work by restricting the blood flow to the nipple, thus creating a numb-meets-pleasurable-meets-painful feeling. Some people find the stimulation uncomfy or unarousing, while others don’t enjoy or even experience the pain-pleasure sensations associated with BDSM-esque sex. However! Before you think nip stim is just for people who enjoy chains and whips, Grover says anyone who “enjoys a little pain with their pleasure” might be into nipple clamps, so keep an open mind.

Once you know what size jewelry you need, it’s time to start thinking about what style of nipple jewelry you want to try once you’re fully healed. Here are some of your options: a b c d e Murray, Thomas; Murrell, Thomas (1989). The Language of Sadomasochism: A Glossary and Linguistic Analysis. ABC-CLIO. p.44. ISBN 9780313264818.

The small silicone head of the Zumio S is flexible enough to have some give but small and pointed enough for precise pinpointed rotational stimulation. The rechargeable toy is also waterproof with high speeds and has an intuitive design where pressing harder delivers slower, deeper, and more intense feeling. Looking for even more intensity? Try the Zumio X, which has a more rigid and longer stem for even more of that wowza-feeling. Dangle Nipple Rings– Again, these are fun things to have in your nipple jewelry collection, but not necessarily practical for everyday use unless you’re a male lifeguard who has his shirt off half the year or you’re a nudist, in which case, go crazy! If you want fake nipple rings rather than standard non-piercing nipple jewelry that looks more like regular nipple shields, try using captive bead rings (CBRs) without the beads inserted. CBRs in a softer material like niobium will be easily pliable, so you can widen the gap in each loop until it’s just the right width to slip over your nipple without falling off. As with the non-piercing nipple shields, you can then gently squeeze either side of the ring to tighten it against your nipple, if needed.

Weiss, Margot (2011). Techniques of Pleasure: BDSM and the Circuits of Sexuality. Duke University Press. p.220. ISBN 9780822351597. Indeed, practices focussed on the breasts and genitals are called both play and torture: tit torture, nipple play... There are some health risks associated with nipple torture. Nipple clamps that are positioned wrongly can cause small cuts. [26] Nipple bondage can result in damage to the nipples [29] and tearing the skin of the nipples can cause scarring. [23] Regular heavy nipple play that produces scabbing and bruising can cause internal scar tissue and de-sensitization, resulting in permanent nerve and tissue damage. [30] During pregnancy the nipples may be too sensitive for nipple clamps, and nipple stimulation can cause the release of the contraction-inducing hormone oxytocin.

Not only do they give you the illusion of having your nipples pierced, but they also double as a baby nipple clamps perfect for light tugging.

Choosing the Best-Sized Post-Healing Jewelry. Now, what about size after your nipple piercings are fully healed? The diameter or length of the nipple piercing jewelry you choose will depend in large part on the size of your nipples. If you’re wearing straight barbells, you need jewelry that’s just long enough that the balls don’t press on either side of your nipples to avoid necrosis. You don’t want them to be so long that they’re constantly catching on clothes and stuff, though. If you’re wearing captive bead rings, keep the diameter reasonable so that the jewelry isn’t in your way or showing through your clothing… unless you want it to! 😉This type of sex toy can seem intimidating at first, but nipple clamps "intentionally promote pleasurable sexual stimulation," says Dr. Janet Brito, PhD, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and founder of the Hawaii Center for Sexual and Relationship Health in Honolulu. Whether you’re looking to incorporate these during solo play or with a partner, they can cause an endorphin release that elevates an orgasm.
