How to Use Clothespins in BDSM

If you and your partner have been toying with the idea of clamps or using clothespin in your play but are unsure of how to begin, follow these steps for enjoying clothespins during play.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Wooden clothespins
• Elastic rubber bands
• Chain (optional)

1. Start with wooden clothespins.
   
   There are several good reasons to start with wooden clothespins. For one thing, they are gentler to use than the plastic kind, thus better for beginners. They are also cheaper. Finally, the tension on the wooden clothespins themselves can be adjusted with a elastic rubber band. Placing a rubber band around the head of the wooden clothespin will increase the pressure, while putting a elastic rubber band around the end of the wooden clothespin will decrease the pressure. Adjust to your partners liking.

2. Choose an area to apply the clothespins.
   
   There are so many places to clamp and enjoy! Wooden clothespins can be placed on the nipples in many positions--pointing straight out is an especially deviant way to clothespin your partner. The soft flesh under the nipple is a great place to experiment as well. Once you've tested the tolerance of your partner, you can place multiple wooden closthepins in key locations such as the scrotum, labia, clitoris and even the tonge.

3. Attack a chain to the clothespins for more intense closthespin play.
   
   A chain that runs through a pair or set of clothespins will add to the enjoyment. As your partner moves, the chain will cause the part of the body the clothespin is attached to to move as well, creating a wonderful sensation of weight and pain.

4. Remove the wooden closthespins after fifteen minutes.
   
   The tensions of the clothespin cuts off blood circulation. Stay safe and sane by removing the clothespins until you are more familiar with how your partner's body responds to them.

5. Be ready for an intense reaction when you remove the clothespins.
   
   Taking the closthepins off causes a stronger rush of pain than putting them on. That's because the blood is rushing back to that area of the body. If your partner is anxious, instruct him or her to take a deep breath and gently squeeze the legs of the wooden closthespin until it comes off.

Tips & Warnings

• Wooden clothespins can be adjusted by pulling on the spring that holds the legs together.
• If the area that is pinned starts to look bruised or swelled, remove the clothespin until you know your partner is okay.
• Always use a safe word or action during play.
