The 12 Best Nipple Clamps with Chains to Adorn Your Areolas
The Secret Behind Ranking the Best Nipple Clamps
At the end of the day, nipple clamps can be amazing on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean these amazing claims will carry over to real-life performance. Whether you’re looking for vice-grip clips or adjustable nipple clamps, it’s important to get a second (or a third) opinion before settling on a specific set. With that mindset in mind, we began to create this list of the best nipple clamps you can easily buy online. Based on a combination of personal experience, user ratings, and manufacturer claims, we rated each product on its design, ease of use, and overall quality. You can easily see which toys performed the best by checking either the “Bedbible Rating” (my expert opinion and the opinions of our tester team) or the “User Ratings” score (average consumer impression)! So, what’s the secret to ranking the best nipple clamps? It’s easy: get more than one opinion!
Types of Nipple Clamps with Chains
Like standard nipple clamps, nipple clamps come in a small variety of clip/clamp styles. If you’ve never used this type of toy before, the differences can be confusing, so we’ve written a quick overview for each type!
- Alligator – These clamps generally feature a rubber or silicone tip, and can be easily adjusted using the set screw incorporated into each individual clamp! They provide more “clamp” than tweezer clamps but aren’t quite as intense as clover clamps.
- Tweezer – Perfect for beginners and commonly used for nipple and clit clamps, this type of clamp often offers tipped ends for a better grip. This is important as tweezer clamps tend to offer less “grip” than other types of clamps. They’re adjustable (though not extremely accurate), using a sliding ring to tighten or loosen the clamps on your nipples/clit.
- Clover – For people who’re experienced at nipple play and enjoy pain, clover clamps offer the ultimate experience. Non-adjustable with a vice-grip clamp, these clamps actually tighten the more they’re pulled on!
- Collar – As the name suggests, these are simply a collar with attached nipple clamps on a chain! The collar itself will often have an O-ring or D-ring, allowing your partner to attach additional chains.
- 4-point Grips – Unlike traditional clamps that pinch your nipple from two angles, this type of clamp uses four set screws to pinch your nipple from four points at once!
- With Clit Clamp – These clamps add an additional clamp down below, still offering the two nipple clamps above, with the addition of a clamp for your clitoris below. Some models offer labia clamps instead!
- Weighted – Ideal for solo play (but also useful during partner play), weighted clamps allow your clamps to always “tug” on your bits without requiring an actual tug from yourself or your partner.
- With Ball Gag – If you’d like to get a bit kinkier, why not incorporate a ball gag into your partner play? As the name suggests, these clamps are a collar with attached nipple clamps on a chain on the bottom and a ball gag above the collar!

These nipple clamps and chain by Entice are the perfect visual enhancement for your bosom! Featuring alligator-style clamps, these clamps are covered with a PVC coating, which reduces the amount of “bite” that cuts into the skin, making them more comfortable to wear. This reduces the potential for intense pinching and pain, making them ideal for less-advanced users, as well as those who want to wear them long sessions or under the clothes.
These metallic clamps with chains are coated in rose gold for an attractive finish. The chains dangle from 11.5″ to 16″ in an overlapping drape. The way it settles on the skin will depend on the size of the chest and the location of the nipples, but is guaranteed to add some glamour!

Sex & Mischief Chained Nipple Clamps
These chained nipple clamps from Sex & Mischief are all about experimenting with fantasy in an affordable and non-threatening way, which I think they’ve accomplished beautifully! Made to be ultra-simple and basic, they come with a single chain and rubber tips for ultra-light tugging.
One thing you may notice is the tips themselves are duller and more rounded than usual. This is a benefit to their design for anyone who likes the looks of clamps but isn’t so sure about the pain part. They attach very lightly to the nipples without squeezing more than to provide light sensation, allowing blood flow to remain close-to-normal. You can play with these without committing to the whole BDSM kink, or spending a fortune before you know how far you want to take it.

Most toys that come under the Fifty Shades header are beginner BDSM toys meant to gently introduce newcomers to the world of kink, including these sensual nipple clamps with chains. The At My Mercy chained nipple clamps have a tweezer-style design with a small ring that can be moved up and down the clamps to adjust the tightness. The clamps themselves have a little flexibility, so, with the loop at the very bottom, you’ll get a light pinch, which becomes more and more intense as you move it up. At the ends, there are silicone tips which provide long-lasting and body-safe cushioning for your nips. Aesthetically, the dangling chain is decorated with additional charms that will make your nips feel fashion-forward, as well as adding a slight weight.

Bondage Boutique Squeeze and Tease Nipple Clamps

We all know there is a bit of masochist in all of us. For some, the desire for pain is strong. Those people can rejoice because Bondage Boutique is here with their Squeeze and Tease Nipple Clamps, and they are the real deal. These bad boys are known as ‘clover clamps,’ a style from East Asia that turns the pinch level to eleven.
You are relinquishing control any time you put them on, as tugging on the chain will tighten the clamps and increase the pain. The only way to reduce that pain is to take them off and start over, and the pressure level you begin with is the bottom setting. This type of clamp is punishing, which may be just what you are looking for.
We often say something is not for beginners, but these are really not for beginners.

If you are tired of reading these lists and finding nothing but clamps for people who like a tiny bit of pain, these handy little nipple torturers are sure to leave you happy. Not only are they for people who lean more towards masochistic tendencies, but they look pretty incredible when on. For me, they were a bit much, and certainly weren’t suitable for wearing under clothes for a longer period of time, which is how I enjoy wearing nipple clamps. However, for the more advanced BDSMers out there, these pinchers from Bondage Boutique are sure to get your motor running.

The 26.5-inch chain running down the front of the body is suitable for different torso lengths. It is just enough for a bit of give on even longer bodies but without too much slack. You can give the chain a little tug, but don’t pull too hard, or they will pop off, especially the clit clamp. The intensity level is more of a 6/10 on the highest adjusted setting, so don’t expect to be leaving marks.

Nipple and clit chain-connected clamps are always a sexy choice and a step above nipple clamps alone. Most combined products are for intermediate or advanced users, utilizing clover fastenings to tighten to the point of agony when the chain is tugged. That can be a lot if you aren’t into real masochism. I think these are wonderful starter clamps for beginners or just those who like the aesthetic without the pain.

This unique product by Bondage Boutique has people buzzing. The Black Rose Collar With Nipple Clamps offers an interesting take on the overall BDSM look. The collar itself is beautifully stylized with etched roses across the surface and three o rings. The first is a center ring for the leash that is detachable. The two on either side hold the chains with nipple clamps, which can also be removed or replaced, as desired.
Alligator clips are used to great effect here, providing an easy to adjust pressure for the nipples, always a wonderful option for beginners or anyone who prefer lighter pain. The ability to remove each chain gives you the option to attach a different product, or just pull the nipples by the chains directly with no limits. And the collar looks amazing with or without them.

| Fastening | Alligator |

Collars are a dime a dozen but rarely do they come with this level of detail. The black rose motif brings a bit of drama to the look, and it is a welcome addition. The accompanying leash is lower quality, but the o-ring is standard size and easy to pair with an upgraded lead. The decision to make the nipple clamps removable was good, creating a more versatile accessory than other collars on the market.
California Exotics Weighted Disc Nipple Clamps
Sometimes you just want something more. These cute Metal Weighted Disc Nipple Clamps are just what you need to add a bit more pow into your pinching play. While they are listed as alligator clips, they look and function a bit more like bullnose fastenings, with blunter ends covered in rubber. You adjust them the same way, tightening as needed to give you the right level of sensation.
The weighted disc is just under 3 ounces, which is a fair amount of weight for such tender protrusions. If your nipples are especially sensitive, it might be too much, especially since you need to ramp up the clamp to keep it from popping off when you add the disc to the y-chain. Luckily, you can detach it and leave it as a regular pair of chained clamps if it ever gets too much. That lets you add other weights, as long as they are tipped with some kind of clasp that fits in the chain’s central ring.
The California Exotics Weighted Disc Nipple Clamps was rated 40 out of 100 meaning that it is most suitable for someone with some experience
| Length | 15.75 inches |
| Materials | Nickel-Free Iron, PVC |
| Fastening | Alligator |
| Adjustable | Yes |
| Weight | With Weights: 4.9 oz/0.3 lbs, Without Weights: 2 oz/0.1 lbs |
These are some fun little clamps, though very simple. Style-wise they aren’t much to write home about, and the chain and disc both look a little cheap. But for the price, they are just right if you aren’t sure if weighted clamps are for you and want to give some a try before investing in a nicer pair. They will get the job done and show you some of your limits, in any case. And the ability to add different weights and accessories to the main chain elevates them above other designs.
