What To Look For
When shopping for clover clamps there are some important things to look for:
Manufacturer
Clover clamps can occasionally be found in a sewing supply store, but be aware these may not always safe for use on skin, and may break with repeated rough use. We recomend you purchase your Clover Clamps from Stockroom.Com to ensure that you have the best quality clamps that are safe for nipple torture also reffered to as Tit Torture. You will also discover there are many Clips such as Nipple, Clit and Pussy Clips as well as clamps that attach to both Breast and the Vagina at the same time in onbe device.
Material
Most clover clamps are made from stainless steel or other metal. Make sure the tips of the clamp are completely covered by rubber pads to prevent the metal tips from pinching and possibly injuring nipples and other delicate skin.
Quality
Make sure the tips of the clamps are flush with each other when they are closed and the rubber pads snugly fit against each other. The chain should be securely fastened to the clamp, with strong links that won’t break with added tension. Check that metal pieces of the T-shaped spring are not bent, are securely fastened to each other, and move smoothly when tension is applied.
If this is an area you arebvery interested in we strongly suggest getting a copy of one of the very few Nipple Clamp Book and Resource Guides on the market. Clips and Clamps as well as a good Dungeon Supply and Safety Guide Book like Dungeon Emergencies and Supplies.
Safety Issues
Make sure you thoroughly clean your clover clamps between uses, especially if you use them on multiple partners. Check that the device is functioning as intended and that the rubber pads completely cover the tips of the clamp and that there are no sharp edges. Do not apply to areas of the body that have skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema or hives, and confirm that the submissive is not allergic to the metal or rubber components of the clamp prior to use. Do not apply to broken or bruised skin. Do not apply directly to veins or places that might crush or damage delicate blood vessels, nerves and internal structures such as the penile head or the clitoris. The more skin you grip with the clamp the safer it is, as the tension is spread across a wider surface area.
Clover clamps should not be left on nipples for longer than 20 minutes as they inhibit blood flow to the tissue, and may cause permanent damage if they are left on too long. Frequently check the nipples for changes in color or temperature that may indicate that they need to be removed.
Rough use of Clover clamps can cause bruising, abrasion, and even bleeding. Take care when roughly removing clamps or applying extreme amounts of pressure to nipples. Clover clamps that have come in contact with blood or any other body fluids should not be used with multiple partners, as it is impossible to sterilize the rubber pads.
Clover clamps are advanced toys and not everyone may enjoy or be able to tolerate the intense sensations they create. Communicate with your submissive before and during their use and build up to the more intense forms of stimulation slowly, removing them if your submissive cannot tolerate the sensation. Alternately, a submissive may perceive their pain tolerance as being extremely high due to endorphins or sexual arousal, and may request more and more intense stimulation during play. It is important not to damage the body by going too far too quickly when the submissive is in this heightened state. The submissive should have a safe word or signal such as snapping that they can use to end the scene established prior to playing. Both parties, but especially the dominant, are responsible for active communication and attention to safety when using clover clamps.
