The first time the single strand beaded clamps were put on me, I was blindfolded and tied down to the bed. The hubby and I are into light bondage, but I’ve never tried nipple clamps, and I got a bit nervous when I figured out what he was doing. How did I figure out what he was doing when I was blindfolded? The minute he started licking and sucking my nipples until they were at an almost knife-sharp point, I knew what he was up to.

 When he first put them on me, it wasn’t as bad as I feared it would be. There are little rubber ends on the tips of the single strand clamps which dampens the pain a bit…okay…a lot. The clamp has a little ring on it which you slide up in order to increase the amount of “pinchiness” that it gives you. The higher you slide the ring, the more you’ll be saying, “ouch – oooh, do it again.”

 The only problem with the way I used the single strand clamps the first time is that I wasn’t able to see them! These clamps are truly beautifully beaded, making me wonder if I could get a matching necklace! So the next time I used the clamps, I put them on myself, after some stimulation, and I rode my husband. I truly enjoyed using them this way! They hung between the two of us and added a little elegant touch to our games.

 My husband really wanted to hang on to them when I was going down on him, so we decided to try that! One problem; they didn’t want to stay on with him tugging. No problem, I thought, I can fix this. I took off the rubber nubs and we put them back on. WOW! There is definitely a difference when you go from rubber straight to just metal. The tips even have three little claw-like prongs to help keep it where it should be. He enjoyed controlling me and giving me little correction tugs, while I wavered between enjoying the bit of pain and wishing that I could torture him.

 The bottom line? These single strand beaded clamps are absolutely beautiful and are the perfect nipple clamps for a beginner, because you can adjust the tension very easily by sliding the “o” ring up or down. Word to the wise: don’t leave the clamps on for longer than ten or fifteen minutes. The clamps stop the blood flow, and when it comes back, it gives the nerves a little jolt, which is almost more painful than putting the clamps on in the first place! I’m definitely going to expand my nipple clamp collection now, and hope that they all are as beautiful as the single strand beaded nipple clamps!
