Test Winner Entice Tiered Intimate Nipple Clamps
- Crocodile-style nipple clamps
- Soft PVC tips
- Rose gold chains connect the two clamps
- Adjustable tightness.
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Comfortable to wear
- ✅ Adjustment mechanism is easy to use
- ✅ The chain adds a nice visual and is fun to tug on
Cons
- ❌ The screws aren't super sturdy
- ❌ Not ideal for very rough pulling and tugging
Why I Chose It
I picked out the Entice Tiered Intimate Nipple Clamps because they’re a great all-rounder nipple toy. They’re easy to use and easy to adjust in intensity, making them great for different experience levels. The gorgeous chains can add an enticing visual factor and/or act as a more kinky tool for tugging and pulling.
Our tester, Isabelle, “was seriously impressed with how well they stay put during sex and even with some extra tugging.” She also loved the cute rose gold design.
The crocodile style clamps are easy to use although they might not satisfy very advanced users. Still, “they do give a pretty pleasant pinch and are great for throwing on in the heat of the moment.”
Isabelle did have one minor point of critique as far as the quality goes. “The metal doesn’t feel super strong and the tips are PVC” and ideally we’d like to see body-safe materials (like silicone) and a somewhat sturdy construction that indicates some longevity. However, these factors don’t really impact the overall performance of the clamps unless you’re in search for something very heavy duty.
Runner-Up Bondage Boutique Rose Gold Nipple Clamps
- Tweezer-style nipple clamps
- Silicone tips
- Small rose gold Lovehoney logo charms
- Adjustable tightness.
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Non-porous silicone on the tips is soft and 100% body-safe
- ✅ Easy to adjust
- ✅ Can be tightened to a very intense pinch
Cons
- ❌ May not stay in place very well if worn loose
- ❌ A bit long
Why I Chose It
Our designated Runner-Up is the Bondage Boutique Rose Gold Nipple Clamps. These elegant clamps are simple but can offer a very tight pinch while still being accessible to newbies on the looser adjustment settings.
The quality is apparent through the choice of material on the tips. They’re coated in soft silicone which is completely body-safe and very easy to clean. While 100% body-safe materials isn’t absolutely necessary for external stimulation on the nipples, it makes the clamps safe to use a clitoral or labia clamps as well! Silicone is always a win over PVC any day in my book.
Our tester, Rachel, really liked the cute design although she did find them a bit long. They were simple to use and she could easily tighten the clamps intensely to her liking. Although, sometimes she “wished that they had a bit more weight to them” so they sensations were a bit more intense. For light nipple stimulation, however, “they’re a perfect go-to clamp”.
Cheapest Lovehoney Tease Me Advanced Nipple Clamps
- Metal ring nipple clamps
- Beaded tips squeeze around the nipple
- Lovehoney logo charms adorn the rings at the bottom.
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Unique and cute design
- ✅ The charms add some movement to the experience
- ✅ Easy to put on and take off
- ✅ The metal has a bit of give to adjust it to your liking
Cons
- ❌ May not stay on as securely on very small nipples
- ❌ No storage bag included
Why I Chose It
I’ve had the pleasure of testing these nipple clamps out myself and I absolutely LOVE them! Not only are they incredibly affordable, they look extremely sexy and feel great to wear.
While I’ve enjoyed using other traditional tweezer-style or crocodile-style clamps before, I’ve had issues with them falling off easily, since I have smaller nipples. That’s definitely not a problem with these bad boys! The two beads are super easy to slip over each side of my nipple and the tight pinch keeps them securely in place.
This ring-like design is super unique and looks a bit similar to wearing large nipple piercing rings (which is super cute, in my humble opinion). But this design has also quickly become my preferred style of nipple clamp since they’re SO easy to put on and take off. No more fiddling with adjustments or trying to squeeze an unruly nipple between two bars.
Even though these are advanced nipple clamps with a tight squeeze and unyielding metal, they are surprisingly comfortable. The metal also has a bit of give so you can adjust them every so slightly.
My only point of critique is that they don’t come with a storage bag. They aren’t attached and they’re super small, so one could easily lose them without one!
Best For Beginners Lovehoney Perfect Pair Nipple Suckers
- Silicone nipple suckers
- Uses vacuum to create suction around the nipple
- Promotes blood flow and increases nipple sensitivity
- 100% body-safe and waterproof.
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Great for beginners
- ✅ Large opening sucks in more tissue
- ✅ Super easy to clean (can even be fully sterilized)
- ✅ Very affordable
Cons
- ❌ Don't stay on very well if the suction isn't very strong
Why I Chose It
These nipple suckers are the perfect nipple toy for complete beginners. They are super cheap, very compact and travel-friendly, easy to use, and easy to clean since they’re made of 100% silicone. They can even be sterilized in boiling water!
These nipple suckers are great because they deliver a wide range of intensity which is very easy to control, since you simply squeeze the bulb before placing it around the nipple. The suction itself can feel nice and give a good pinch while you’re wearing them. However, my favorite part is what happens after. As our tester, Edie, wrote in her review: “if you are looking for a way to create nipple sensitivity, forget the creams and oils and pop these nipple suckers on for about 10-minutes! Afterward, your sensitivity will increase!”.
The only drawback with silicone nipple suckers like these is that they don’t stay on very well if you’re moving around. They also don’t look as sexy as nipple clamps do. However, they’re great to use during foreplay or in combination with other nipple toys once sensitivity has been increased.
Another great pro is that they can be used anywhere on the body. Try it on the clitoris to increase sensations down there!
Best Adjustable Suckers DOMINIX Deluxe Nipple and Clit Triple Sucker Set
- Set of 3 nipple and clit suckers
- 2 smaller sizes for the nipples and one larger size for the clitoris
- Made of ABS plastic
- Adjustable pressure.
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Delivers intense suction
- ✅ Great for foreplay or pairing with other toys
- ✅ Can be used anywhere on the body
Cons
- ❌ No quick-release valve
- ❌ Manual use
Why I Chose It
Now, the DOMINIX Deluxe Nipple and Clit Triple Sucker Set is my top choice for those who love the ideas of nipple sucker (and a clit sucker) but want something a bit more intense than silicone suckers.
First of all, this is a full set to stimulate both nipples and the clitoris at the same time. Since the suction is so strong, Sarah, our tester, assumed that “it would cause swelling or bruising, but it didn’t.” So, they can also be used safely anywhere else on the body!
Second of all, you can adjust the pressure in the pumps a lot more precisely with these. Of course, you’re going to have to do that manually, but that’s what you get with more affordable pumps like this without any electrical components. Sarah found that “they added pain and pleasure at the same time. I think the Triple Sucker Set is something fun and different to add to any play session.”
The main drawback is there isn’t a quick-release valve. This is always a nice feature in pumps, as you might want to option to release the pressure quickly once in a while.

The Basic Types of Nipple Toys
When it comes to nipple toys, you aren’t just limited to nipple clamps and tassels!
At a loss as to which nipple toy you want to use?
I don’t blame you – there are a fair few!
But allow me to explain to you the different things that different nipple toys do!
- Nipple Clamps – One of the most popular kinds of nipple sex toys is the nipple clamp. Using either a pincer or screw mechanism, they attach to your nipples and give them a good squeeze. Some Nipple clamps come with vibrators,
- Nipple Suckers – Who can resist the pleasurable allure of having their nipples sucked on. Nipple suckers give the sensation of gently being tugged on – an almost orgasmic feeling in its own right!
- Nipple Vibrators – Vibrators aren’t just for vaginas! It turns out that nipples really love those vibrations too! Attach them to your nipples, set the vibrations, and enjoy those ripples through your nipples!
- Pumps – If you want to take nipple suckers to the next level then try out pumps. They provide a much stronger suction which only goes to enhance the stimulation. They can be pumped either manually or automatically, depending on the type of pump.
- Lickers – Having your nipples licked and flicked feels amazing! It recreates the sensation of a tongue lashing back and forth against your nipples, over and over again, and at whatever speed you choose.
Nipple Clamps
Nipple clamps are one of the most common types of nipple toys, and depending on their style, can be suited to either advanced or beginner BDSM enthusiasts. You can find nipple clamps in various styles:
- Tweezer-style clamps – these are perfect for beginners and are often coated with silicone or PVC to offer a more comfortable clamping sensation. These clamps are also often adjustable to make the experience more comfortable for novice users.
- Weighted clamps – Weighted clamps often come in the form of tweezer clamps, but have added weights to increase sensation and offer a more uncomfortable, “tugging” sensation, for those who like that sort of thing.
- Peg-style clamps – these types of nipple clamps really stay in place are often used for heavier clamps, such as vibrating bullet clamps
- Crocodile Clamps – these types of nipple clamps are more for those looking to find a mix between pleasure and pain – these can be used by beginners although I’d make sure to buy an adjustable pair to begin with.
- Clover Clamps – Clover clamps are ideal for more experienced BDSM users, as they’re typically non-adjustable and provide a much firmer squeezing sensation.
Vibrating Nipple Toys
If you love some good vibrations and love nipple stimulation, you’ll love vibrating nipple toys! You can buy various types of vibrating nipple toys:
- Vibrating Nipple Clamps – these are great for adding some intensity to pain play or BDSM play
- Bullet Nipple Clamps – these nipple toys typically use sturdy, clothes peg-style clamps to help the toys stay in place and offer buzzy vibrations over your nips!
Clit and Nipple Sex Toys
While there are plenty of toys designed uniquely for use on the nipples, there are also plenty of toys designed for dual use. If you’re into toys with dual function, you might enjoy using a clit-and-nipple toy.
These toys are perfect for use during foreplay or solo masturbation to peak your arousal and stimulate your erogenous zones as you wish.
Nipple Suckers
If you’re into the dreamy sensations of nipple sucking, you have the option of choosing a nipple sucking toy. A great pair of nipple suckers will provide both sucking and pumping sensations, and will build your arousal during foreplay or drive you wild during sex! You can even choose vibrating nipple suckers if you really want to take the sensations to the next level!
Nipple Pasties
Here’s one you’ve probably heard of already: the classic nipple pastie! Nipple tassels are great for accessorizing the body during play, and they also often come with firm clamps to make your nipples that little bit more sensitive!
Any Toy Can Be a Nipple Toy!
At Bedbible, we don’t believe in being strict and exclusive when it comes to sex toys: put simply, almost any toy can be a nipple stimulator if you’re creative enough with it! You can use vibrators, dildos, floggers, ticklers, magic wands, and even clit lickers on your nipples. All you need is the right lube (we don’t want any chafing!)

How Do Nipple Toys Work?
Full of up to 2,000 nerve endings each (!), your nipples are very receptive to sensation, though they are not precisely designed to make you orgasm in the same way as, say, a clitoris is. The pleasure of nipple-play comes from teasing, giving control to a partner, or sudden, saucy surprises. Plus, of course, anyone can enjoy a bit of nipple play, and all of these nipple toys are gender-neutral.
You can choose from nipple clamps, nipple suckers, tingly balm, magnetic nipple clamps, and lasso vibrators, as well as a combination of any or all of these nipple toys. BDSM nipple clamps can add intensity to your BDSM play, a great pair of nipple suckers builds your arousal during foreplay or drives you wild during sex, and a sensation balm will give you tingles of pleasure all through playtime.
How to Be Safe with Nipple Toys
Using nipple sex toys can be exciting, stimulating, and a great addition to any solo session or partner sex. However, it’s important to use these toys safely if you want to get the most out of the experience, with more Ooohs than Ouches!
Use the right toys
When using nipple toys, it’s absolutely essential to use ones that are appropriate to your level of experience. Don’t go in for the non-adjustable BDSM clamps if you’re a newbie – we’d advise starting with beginner-friendly nipple toys such as adjustable nipple clamps and tweezer clamps before moving onto something more hardcore.
Test first
If you’ve purchased a pair of nipple sex toys that squeeze, pinch, or offer an extremely firm hold, you can benefit by testing the toy on another part of the body before using it on the nipples.
Know Your Limit
When using nipple stimulators, don’t forget that pain isn’t always supposed to go along with the experience. If you’re not looking to get into pain play and yet your nipple toys are causing a severe amount of discomfort, take them off! Many retailers such as Lovehoney have fair returns policies, so you don’t need to worry about having wasted money if your nipple clamps just aren’t right for you.
Get the timing right
When starting out using nipple sex toys, some shouldn’t be worn for extended periods of time. Wearing nipple clamps for too long can cause problems with nipple sensitivity, so be responsible, especially if you’re a beginner. We’d recommend 10-20 minutes for anyone who’s just starting out using nipple clamps.
What Are the Benefits of Using Nipple Toys?
Many, many people, find nipple stimulation highly arousing. Did you know that your nipples have up to 2000 nerve endings, and when stimulated, uses the same neural pathways to arousal that your genitals do? That’s why you may notice that nipple play leads directly to a feeling of arousal down there.
In fact, some people can even go as far as having an orgasm just from nipple stimulation! Often known as a ‘nipplegasm‘, this phenomenon can take some prolonged stimulation and patience, but can feel totally otherworldly if it happens for you. Even if you can’t achieve a full-on orgasm from nipple play alone, it can seriously enhance all the other sensations in your body.
So, why incorporate nipple toys into your playtime? Well, they can provide a ton of different sensations! Nipple clamps produce a pinch that can range from titillating to painful, for those who like more intense stimulation, while nipple suckers and licking toys can make your nips more sensitive in a gentler way. Plus, many are hands-free, meaning you or your partner’s hands can get busy pleasuring you in other areas while the toys do their work up on your chest.
