How to Use a Clit Clamp
on May 2, 2017
A clit clamp is a simple but sensational sex toy. It’s a piece of clitoral jewellery designed for the express purpose of gently squeezing your clitoris to give you a thrill in the love bud department, without vibrations.
You can wear them while buffing the muff or dancing the mattress mambo. They’re great at directly stimulating you where it counts. Even better, when removed they leave your love button super-sensitive to more touching.
Clit clamps cum in different names - clitoral clamps, clitoris clamps, clitoral jewellery, clitoris jewellery, clit clips, pleasure clips, Cleopatra's clip, genital clamps or any variation of these. Never mind what you call them. It’s their power to please you that you’ll long remember.
Above: Check out our expert video on all the reasons you should try some clitoral jewellery.
'But clit clamps are scary!'
We spoke to humans who rock a clitoris, and their legion of fans, to learn that many of them are scared of clit clamps.
Even people who often buy sex toys have never tried a clit clamp because they were afraid of them.
We reckon these fears are based on a couple of myths.
The two most common myths?
Myth number 1: 'Clit clamps are for people who like hard BDSM'
Believe us, clit clamps are not inherently designed for BDSM play.
The word 'clamp' is probably to blame here - it’s just an easy way to say that this toy squeezes/pinches an area that likes being squeezed.
We reckon if you choose another name from the list above, it will seem less scary.
We like 'pleasure clip' and 'clit jewellery'. But if you’re talking to your Aunt Sadie or your doctor, you could say ‘clitoral jewellery’ or ‘clitoris jewellery’ to be more specific.
Myth number 2: 'Clit clamps are painful'
No, ma’am. They’re designed to provide a gentle-to-intense squeeze - up to you to set the intensity - without pain.
If your clitoris jewellery is causing pain, it’s likely that it’s incorrectly attached or too tight for you.
Clit clamps should spread pressure evenly across your most sensitive parts of your velvet bean, enhance your blood flow and increase the incredible sensitivity.
They should never hurt. At all.
So what are the benefits of clitoris jewellery?
We don’t need to tell you that your clitoris is packed with nerve endings. It is without doubt one of the most sensitive parts of the human body.
But did you know that most of these nerve endings are located at the sides of your clitoris?
By gently squeezing either side of your lady button, clitoral jewellery delivers sensation exactly where you need it most to bring you optimum pleasure.
Other benefits include:
1) Most clamps can be worn while bonking for hands-free pleasure and better chances of climaxing.
2) Unlike vibrating cock rings, they maintain contact with the clitoris at all times during sex for dependable thrills.
3) They're perfect (and one of the few toys available) for women who don't like vibrations but want world-class, consistent clit stim.
4) After removal, they leave the clitoris super-sensitive to any further play, so the toy keeps on giving.
How do I use a clit clamp?'
We suggest starting with some clitoral stimulation first. Anything that gets your love bud erect and ready for action. This will help you position the clamp in the right place.
Take note of any product-specific instructions for how to attach it to the clitoris.
You can test the intensity of pinch on a less sensitive part of your body first. Try the tip of your finger or your earlobe.
The only safety rules to remember are: always use lube and never leave a clamp on for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Lube enhances sensation and comfort for the wearer, and the 10 minute rule ensures circulation isn't disrupted for too long. After all, you want an enhanced clitoris, not a numb one.
Removal
Who knew that removing clitoris jewellery was just as pleasurable as wearing it? If not more so.
Because not only does your love button receive a rush of blood that tingles with arousal, but it will be ultra-responsive to subsequent touches, too.
That means the ideal follow up is licks, strokes, kisses and tickles to discover your pleasure pearl's new, upgraded sensitivity.
