Hey Kelly,
Nipple Claps vs.Nipple Piercings. What are the pros and cons of each?
Sincerely, Curious
Ok. I'll tell you straight off the top that I prefer the clamps for beginners. They don't leave scars and are generally cheaper than the piercings would be. Also, piercings can be rejected by your body and be pushed out over time. If you get the clamps and decide you like them, maybe think about the piercings. They're fun too. Thing is, they offer completely different feelings. The piercings are permanent, whereas the clamps are used for momentary use. Where piercings are fun to play with all the time, the idea of clamps is to cut off the blood flow until you can take them off...where the real fun begins.
1:Nipple piercings are awesome! They'd offer 24/7 stimulation, and even though it'll hurt like a bitchy bitch when you got them (unless you're into that kind of thing, perv) after a while they're just like permanent little toys. I mean, the first few times you get in the shower with those puppies, you'll know what I'm talking about. Whoo, boy.
They can, in some rare cases, impair your ability to breast feed later in life. This happens when the needle is put in at an awkward angle and scar tissue thickens around your...what are they even called? The holes in your boobs that let the milk out? Is it just called nipple? My roomate says "squirty holes", so we'll go with that. Most people in the body piercing business know better than to do that, though. I mean, look at the place. If it looks like you're gonna get hepatitis, they probably don't know how to correctly and safely shove a thick needle into your boobs.
2: Clamps are easy to work with, can be adjusted (in some cases) to fit the amount of pressure you're comfortable with, and will be cheaper than piercings. On the flip side, you're hella likely to creep out a boy when you pull those babies out of your nightstand. If you still want to give it a shot though, know that there are three basic kinds of clamps out there.
Alligator clamps work like a clothespin. They are your very basic type of clamps. They generally have a screw mechanism that will allow you to very the pressure. A great beginners set.
Next, there are clover clamps. They're pretty much the same, but prettier. Good luck finding an adjustable pair.
The last kind are tweezer clamps, and they are fully adjustable. Great for beginners, they generally have rubber covers on the tips to keep them comfortable.
Is anyone else slightly creeped out that I know so much about nipple clamps? I hope this helped.
