Sexuality Happens

I like many kinky things. Particularly sensation toys. Hot things. Cold things. Sharp things.  And I also really really really like squeezy things.  

What am I talking about? Why, clamps of course!

Now, I make it a habit out of collecting odd things to pervert and make kinky. I have some awesome plastic clips I found at a vintage store in New Hope, PA that look like biting teeth.  Very amusing to me. In that same vein, I have some bag clips shaped like lips that I love clipping onto people.  And of course, there are always my good old clothespins – wooden or plastic, extremely cheap (so I’m not sad when they break, or get stolen by certain thieving kitties), come in HUGE packs, great for making zippers with to pull off peoples’ bodies…you know the drill.

But every once in a while, it’s nice to try out a toy that is actually designed to do what you want it to do. Ergo, when Babeland so kindly offered me a set of crocodile nipple clamps, I obviously took them up on their generous offer.

Visually, they’re quite nice.  Plastic package, but once you take them out, beautiful in their simplicity. SIlver clamps and chain with a bit of black rubber accents.  They do have teeth, but they’re covered by the rubber (unless you pull it off), so they shouldn’t hurt TOO much.

My problem is that I like to be a bit aggressive with my clamps…and these, when I tugged on the chain, slip right off.  Moreover, they are fairly small, so if whoever you’re putting the clamps on has medium to larger nipples, or you want to put them on a thicker area, like the outer labia (oh yes, Virginia, you can clamp pretty much anywhere on the body!), it makes it a bit more difficult to get them on, and a LOT more difficult to get them to actually stay on.

I think these particular clamps are great for either beginners (like if you want to try something a bit different than clothespins), or people that don’t like a lot of pain.  On the other hand…if you’re looking for something a little more threatening or intense clamp wise, I’d suggest clover clamps for you. MUCH more intimidating…both in look and action.

For my personal use, I’d give these 2 or 3 stars (out of 5), as I don’t really use them in my personal life…but as far as doing workshops, and domming, I can give them a 4 as something affordable and fun to add to my collection.
