The popularity of clamps is only growing in the past couple of years, and more people are willing to try them out. But before you buy this sex toy for yourself (or your partner), there are a couple of things you need to know. Here, we will go through some of the most important details about clit clamps, how to use them, and which models you should look for.
What is a clitoris clamp?
You probably already heard about nipple clamps. Both toys have similar purposes, and they are quite common in the BDSM community. However, it’s not recommended to use nipple clamps on your clitoris since the design of the toy is different.
But what is a clitoris clamp? It is a sex toy that falls in the category of clitoral jewelry. They are usually made of metal and often have additional pieces to make them more visually attractive. The idea behind them is identical to nipple clamps. It has the goal of pinching the clitoris to prevent blood flow.
After a while, the wearer will remove the clamp allowing the flood to flow back into the clitoris, causing the wave of sensation. It is also possible to find clit clamps with a chain tied to the nipple clamps. That way, the wearer will get a two-in-one device that would be able to pinch both nipples and clitoris.
For some people, this might seem scary and painful. Of course, no one should force you to try them out. One thing you should keep in mind is that clit clamps are designed to increase pleasure. They shouldn’t be painful, and if they are, you should try out a different model.
How clitoris clamps are used
There are several ways you can use clitoral clamps. The first and most obvious way to use them is during foreplay. But before you try them out, you should always test them first. It is a lot safer to know what you’re expecting. Consider trying the clamps or your finger or ear. This way, you will get a clear idea of how strong they are and whether you need to adjust them further.
If you just place it on your clitoris, the experience might be more painful than you would like it to be. Needless to say, the clitoris is rather sensitive, and it can be bruised if you are too hard on it. Once you are sure that the device is not too strong for your taste, you can place them on the clitoris.
As for the use of the clamps, the procedure is simple. All you need to do is place them on the clitoris and leave them there. It can prove to be an incredible source of pleasure during foreplay, and you can also use them while satisfying your partner.
Some people also love wearing the clitoris clamp in public while on a date, and so on. It is something that will constantly remind them of the naughty secret they have. Naturally, if you plan on wearing the clamps for a while, you need to loosen them up. Using them for a short amount of time is perfectly fine, but you don’t want to restrict the blood flow for too long.
Is it safe to use?
If you follow the procedure, clitoris clamps are perfectly safe for use. We mean that you should never leave it on for too long. Having the clamps on will prevent the blood flow, and removing it will cause pleasure or sensation in the clitoris. But leaving it too long or not loosening the clamps might cause problems, so be reasonable and don’t try to push any boundaries.
Some people believe that using clamps will cause the clitoris to become numb, which is not true. It is the same as any other sex toy. You can use it as long as you want. There is no reason to worry about your body parts becoming numb and losing the sensation in the vagina or clitoris.
The next common myth is that clit clamps can cause a urinary tract infection. Once again, this is not true. UTI is caused by digestive tract bacteria reaching the urinary tract. So, as long as you keep your toys clean, there is nothing to worry about.
So, it’s just a clamp?
Yes and no. You can find clitoral clamps that are just that — clamps. But some other models offer so much more. You can easily find clamps with jewelry on them, which will make them rather attractive. We also mentioned already two-in-one clamps that can pinch both the clitoris and nipples at the same time.
Some models can be quite fancy, so if you are into jewelry, there are plenty of models to choose from. Furthermore, some models come with vibrations as well if you want to push it a bit further. You can also find brands that go as far as to design clit clamps with USB on it, which allows your partner to control them via the internet.
The options are nearly limitless. You can find anything from simple clamps to battery-powered ones. Our suggestion would be to go for any type of adjustable toy since you might need to tighten it (or loosen) before you start using them.
