What are Nipple Clamps Used For?
Nipple clamps are used to create a sensation of pressure and pain in the nipples. Some people really enjoy this feeling and may use nipple clamps as part of BDSM play or during other sexual activities. They can be used on men or women, and may be enjoyed solo or with a partner. Nipple clamps can also be used to enhance sexual arousal and may be used in conjunction with other sex toys like dildos, vibrators, plugs, etc.

Why Nipple Clamps Are Used in BDSM Play?
Nipple clamps are often used in BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism) play. BDSM involves a wide range of activities, including bondage, spanking, role-playing, and sensory deprivation, among others. Nipple clamps are just one of many tools that can be used to enhance sexual pleasure and explore power dynamics in BDSM play.

Depending on the design and intensity of the nipple clamps, they can cause varying levels of pain and pleasure, which can be appealing to those sex enthusiasts who enjoy BDSM activities. As with all BDSM activities, make sure you have a safe word in place!
How Safe are Homemade Nipple Clamps?
Homemade nipple clamps can be safe or unsafe, depending on the materialls and construction methods used. If you’re making your own nipple clamps, you should make sure to use safe materials that won’t cause injury or irritation to the nipples. For example, you could use soft rubber tips on a clothespin to lower the risk of any kind of injury. Important, right?
Make sure that the clamps are easy to release in case of an emergency. Even if you take these precautions, there is still some risk involved in using homemade nipple clamps, and it’s generally recommended to use sex toys that are specifically designed for this purpose and have been tested for safety.
Why Make DIY Nipple Clamps?
People may choose to make DIY nipple clamps for a variety of reasons. One reason may be the cost savings compared to purchasing commercially available nipple clamps.
Another reason, and more important one in my view, is the desire to customize the clamps to fit your unique preferences. For example, I love to design my nipple clamps so they look visually compelling. I also enjoy the creative process of making my own clamps, it’s like a part of the foreplay.

Can You Orgasm From Using Homemade Nipple Clamps?
Yes, you can definitely orgasm from using homemade nipple clamps. At least, I have… Nipple clamps work by stimulating the nipples, which are an erogenous zone for many people. They apply pressure to the nipples, which can cause a release of endorphins and an increased flow of blood to the area.
oth men and women have erogenous zones which can include body parts such as the nipples, lips, tongue, ear lobes, buttocks, inner thighs, anus, and even less obvious places like the back of the knees, the soles of the feet, and the center of the back.

This can lead to increased sensitivity and arousal, which can contribute to the experience of orgasm. I, for example, enjoy the feeling of pain or discomfort that nipple clamps can provide.
When To Remove Nipple Clamps?
Based on my experience you should remove nipple clamps if there is any pain, numbness, or tingling in the nipples or surrounding areas. It’s best to remove the clamps when your partner is about to climax or is already experiencing orgasm.
This will allow blood to rush back into your nipples, and also trigger the release of oxytocin in the brain, which can intensify the sexual sensation. As a result, your partner can enjoy a highly concentrated rush of pleasure.
Oxytocin is a highly potent hormone that can elevate your mood, while also serving as a robust antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant.

What To Avoid When Making DIY Nipple Clamps?
If you choose to make DIY nipple clamps, there are several important things to keep in mind to ensure that they are safe to use. First and foremost, you should avoid using any materials that could cause injury or irritation to the nipples. This includes materials like sharp or rough metal, some plastic, or wood. Please note that you should also avoid using adhesives or glues that could be harmful to the skin.
Keep in mind when making your own DIY nipple clamps, make sure the clamps are easy to release in case of an emergency. This means avoiding materials that could become stuck or difficult to open, such as strong magnets or overly tight screws. The last thing you want is not being able to release the nipple clamps when your body is eagerly telling you to do that!
Make sure that the clamps are sterilized before use to avoid any risk of infection. This can be done by using a sterilization solution, boiling the clamps in water, or using a sterilization machine that you can find on Amazon or eBay.
How to Make Your Own Nipple Clamps?
Making your own nipple clamps can be a fun and creative project, but it’s important to take safety into consideration. Based on my experience, the simplest ways to make your own homemade nipple clamp is this:
- Choose a material that is non-toxic, non-porous, and safe to use on the skin. Silicone, rubber, or plastic tubing are popular options. Cut the tubing to a length of about 3-4 inches.
- Take two small alligator clips (or binder clips) and remove any plastic or rubber coating. It’s important to make sure that the clips have a tight spring and can be opened and closed easily.
- Place one end of the tubing over each alligator clip or clothespin, securing it in place with a small zip tie or wire. Make sure that the tubing is tight around the clip, but not so tight that it restricts the spring from opening and closing.
- Slide the tubing along the length of the alligator clips to adjust the tension of the clamp. Consider moving the tubing closer to the base of the clips for a tighter grip. For a looser grip, move the tubing closer to the tips of the clips.
- Before using your fun homemade nipple clamps, make sure to sterilize them using a sterilization solution, boiling them in water, or using a sterilization machine. This will help to prevent any risk of infection.
How To Make DIY Nipple Clamps From Chopsticks?
You will need two chopsticks, rubber bands, and optionally, some soft material such as felt.
- Start by cutting off the pointed ends of the chopsticks and sand them down (very important!) so that they are smooth and rounded.
- Wrap a rubber band tightly around one end of each chopstick. The rubber band will provide the necessary tension to pinch the nipples.
- You can add a small piece of soft material such as felt (works great IMO) to the inside of the rubber band.
- Next, slide the rubber bands up or down the chopsticks to adjust the tension to your desired level.
- Test the clamps on your fingers or another non-sensitive area to make sure that the tension is appropriate before using them on your nipples.
How To Make DIY Nipple Clamps From Paperclips?
This one is super easy to replicate. You will need two paperclips, pliers, and optionally, some soft material such as felt.
- Straighten out the paperclips and use the pliers to bend them into a U-shape.
- If you want to make the clamps more comfortable, you can add a small piece of soft material such as felt to the inside of the U-shaped paperclip.
- Use the pliers to adjust the width of the U-shaped paperclip to your desired level of tension.
- Test the clamps on your fingers or another non-sensitive area to make sure that the tension is appropriate before using them on your nipples.
- You can attach a chain or string to the paper clips to create a visual and tactile connection between the two clamps.
How To Make DIY Nipple Clamps From Bobby Pins?
I have tried this technique many times and it works like a charm! You will need two bobby pins and optionally, some soft material such as felt.
- Use your fingers to bend the bobby pins into a U-shape.
- Add a small piece of soft material such as felt to the inside of the U-shaped bobby pin to make the clamps more comfortable.
- Use your fingers to adjust the width of the U-shaped bobby pin to your desired level of tension.
- Test the clamps on your fingers or another non-sensitive area to make sure that the tension is appropriate before using them on your nipples.
- Consider attaching a chain or string to the bobby pins to create a tactile connection between the two clamps.
How To Make DIY Nipple Clamps From Tweezers?
Based on my experience, building DIY nipple clamps from tweezers can be a bit more challenging than using other materials.
- You will need two metal tweezers, pliers, and optionally, some soft material such as felt.
- Use the pliers to bend the arms of the tweezers into a U-shape, leaving the tips straight.
- If you want to make the clamps more comfortable, you can add a small piece of soft material such as felt to the inside of the U-shaped tweezers.
- Use the pliers to adjust the tension of the tweezers to your desired level of tightness.
- Test the clamps on your fingers or another non-sensitive area to make sure that the tension is appropriate before using them on your nipples that are obviously more sensitive.
- You can attach a chain or string to the ends of the tweezers to create a visual and tactile connection between the two clamps.
How To Make DIY Nipple Clamps From Clothespins?
You will need two wooden clothespins, pliers, and optionally, some soft material like felt. Here is the process you should follow:
- Use the pliers to remove the metal spring from the clothespins.
- Adjust the tension (with pliers) of the clothespins to your desired level of tightness.
- Add a small piece of soft material such as felt to the inside of the clothespins to make the clamps more comfortable.
- Place one clothespin on each nipple and secure them in place.
- Finally, make sure that the tension is appropriate and adjust if necessary.
My Experience With Clothespins
I find it difficult to find high-quality wooden clothespins without splinters or sharp edges. Plastic clips with rubber teeth from the laundry aisle can be a safer and more consistent alternative. You can test their strength by opening them and clamping your finger in the store before purchasing.
Additionally, plastic clips can be washed and sanitized, whereas wooden clips may be destroyed if washed. Remember to go light and use small rubber bands to increase clamping force if needed.
Pro tip: plastic clips work great for both clit and labia play.
How To Use Nipple Clamps During Sex?
Well… based on my experience, using nipple clamps during sex can be an exciting way to enhance sexual pleasure. My recommendation is that if you’re new to using nipple clamps, start with a gentle pinch and gradually increase the pressure. Listen to your body and adjust the tension as needed.
- Apply a small amount of lubricant, preferably water-based, to the nipples before attaching the clamps. This is important because it can help to reduce any discomfort and make it easier to attach the clamps.
- Place the clamp directly onto the nipple, making sure that the tubing or chain is hanging down. Adjust the tension by sliding the tubing or chain closer or farther from the base of the clamp.
- Once the clamps are in place, experiment with different sensations, such as gently tugging on the tubing or chain or using a vibrator on the clamped nipples.
- Always be aware of safety when using nipple clamps. Avoid leaving them on for too long or using too much pressure, and listen to your body if something feels uncomfortable or painful. Remove the clamps if there is any numbness or discoloration of the nipples.
Can I Make Electric Homemade Nipple Clamps?
You can make electric homemade nipple clamps by attaching electrical wires to standard nipple clamps and connecting them to a power source. It is important to note that this could be extremely dangerous and potentially deadly. Electric shock can cause burns, tissue damage, and even death. If you choose to make electric nipple clamps, make sure to take all necessary precautions and consult a professional before attempting to use them.
