I'm looking into getting a new collar and I want one with nipple clamps this time. I'm fairly new to nipple clamps, so I was wondering which one might be better for a beginner. They both seem fairly comparable, so what do you guys think?
It depends on what you mean by "beginner." Are you new to BDSM? Have you used nipple clamps before? How do you respond to being collared?
IMO, if you are really new to BDSM, you may want to individually try a collar and some clamps (probably starting with tweezer clamps) before going to a more advanced product like this one.
These clamps are a bit more intense than tweezer clamps and when they are attached to a collar, your movement will increase the intensity of the clamps by pulling on them and tightening them.
If that's what you are going for, then cool. But, if you're a "beginner" to rough play, you may want to take it a little slower. Only you know what your own tolerance for or need for pain or intense physical sensation is.
I personally find a nice set of cuffs a good into to rough play, but everybody has different tastes.
Being collared can be a really emotionally intense experience, not bad, but you have to know what you want from the experience, and your partner needs to be able to react, respond and know what to do with your reaction properly, too.
Good luck.

As far as "beginner" I meant just to nipple clamps. I've been into BDSM (mostly on the lighter side) for awhile now, but we tend to use things around the house instead of specific BDSM gear.
Thank you for all the information! I might go ahead and try some tweezer clamps first to get a better idea.
Interestingly, most people seem to be leaning toward collar with clamps. Do some of you have personal experience with them both? I have a number of nipple clamps in my collection and from the pictures I would say the two *MAY NOT* be comparable pain-wise. The question is how much torque is in the clamp "at rest". The crave pix show it completely open which suggests that it will only get as tight as you adjust it. The other has no pix in which the clamps are not pursed tight which suggests to me the spring action may be a bit tight naturally. Not all adjustments go looser... some only tighter.
The other thing to look at for newbies is whether the clips have "teeth".
I have yet to find a set that I really like, and its really not that hard to find a nice collar w/ a ring that you can feed your clamps through. If I were looking right now that's what I would do. And it allows you take the clamps completely off when you aren't using them.
Since it's not as wide as most other collars, it is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
The ring in the center is perfect to attach either a leash or the nipple clamps of your choice.
Plus, the silver studs and pink hearts are a powerfully sexy combination.
Naughty and nice!
