Clover clamps. When clovers are mentioned, you probably think of leprechauns, St. Patrick's Day, the color green, and the little, three-leaved plants that people are always searching for in hopes of finding one that has four leaves. Innocent enough, right? Well, Pipedream's clover clamps certainly are anything but innocent. An innocent name, sure, but once these are clipped onto a person's nipples, the innocence melts away.

Made with metal (the packaging does not specify what type) and white rubber grips, these clamps are relentless, unyielding, and certainly all types of painful. The rubber grips have nubs on them, and they're apparently supposed to increase comfort. To a pain slut, this is definitely a plus, because instead of having hard metal or plastic pull on the nipples, there is a soft, plush cushion. That way, the only thing felt is the intense squeezing and pressure surrounding the nipples.

Each of the clamps is 3 1/3" in length and 1 1/2" across. The sides, where you press onto the clamps to open them, have little indents in the metal to act as grips. They're very easy to press down on, so even those with hand problems should be able to manage quite well.

Keep in mind that because these are clover/butterfly clamps, they cannot be adjusted. That means that the second that they clamp down on the nipples, they can only be tightened by pulling on the attached string. There is no way to loosen them. What you feel is what you get, completely. Whether it's not intense enough or too intense is very subjective. My partners have loved them, so hey, that works out good for me.

What can barely be seen on Edenfantasys' images are the nylon strings attached to the ends of the clamps. These can be pulled on to increase the pressure on the wearer's nipples, which I personally love doing. Do this with caution though, and make sure to be attentive to any signs that the wearer may give. These can also be used to hang the nipple clamps up when finished playing with them (yes, I have a thing for hanging my products up).

I would not suggest using these on a person's clitoris, as the experience will most likely be painful, in a bad way. We never tried this, but we don't plan to, either. I'd say that keeping these to the nipples (or maybe even labia) is your best, and safest, bet. Some nipple clamps require that the nipples be large enough and protrude more, but these do not. As long as the nipples are hard, they will stay on (unless intentionally pulled off, which should always be done with care).

The clamps come on a little cardboard piece, each clamp being housed in its own plastic compartment. The cardboard does not really say much about the clamps other than that they are "spring-loaded and fitted with rubber grips." It's also certainly not discreet. A picture of a model wearing the clamps is on both the front and back, so if you prefer to keep these sorts of things private, you may not want to open the box in the company of others.

Washing the grips should be done with soap and warm water. Make sure to dry them completely. They can be stored in a regular drawer and should suffer no damage.

For the price of these clamps, they're excellent. They have not shown any signs of wear, and because I take very good care of my products, they should last for a long time. I really love them using them on partners, and if you're a "pain slut," you'll love wearing them.

Since I love seeing people scream and squirm, these are the perfect clamps to make them do just that. Especially with the added nylon string that allows you to tighten the clamps even more. I also like to add weights or bells (very cute, yes) to give an even harder, more painful feel to the person.

In terms of wear, they really cannot be worn under clothing. They're quite large, so they may catch on the cloth and possibly cause injury (unintended injury, that is).
