The Bound V1 are adjustable nipple clamps made from 304 stainless steel with a vice-press design, so you set the pressure precisely and it stays there. They come from the Bound bondage range by NS Novelties, in a dark gunmetal finish that looks more like hardware than lingerie. They suit anyone, of any gender, who wants nipple play they can dial in gradually, from a light pinch to firm pressure.
Tweezer and clover clamps rely on a spring, so the pressure is fixed by the design. A vice clamp closes with a screw instead: you turn it to bring the pads together and back it off to release. That means the V1 can start very light for beginners and tighten in small steps as you get used to it. Because nothing springs shut, putting them on is calmer and more controlled too.
Open the vice wider than you need. Tease the nipple first with fingers or a mouth, since a firmer nipple is easier to clamp. Place the clamp around the base of the nipple and tighten slowly until you feel snug pressure, then stop. Wait a minute; sensation often builds. Begin with a few minutes, and remove the clamps sooner if you feel numbness, sharp pain or the skin turns pale or cold. Expect the strongest feeling when they come off, as blood flows back, so release them slowly and have your partner ready to soothe with a warm hand.
304 stainless steel is a common grade for kitchen and bathroom fittings: it's non-porous and resists rust. Unlike some other Bound clamps, the V1 isn't listed with silicone tips, so the steel touches skin directly and may feel cold; warm the clamps in your hands first. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry them fully, including the screw thread, and store them in a pouch.

Helpful answers about NS Novelties Bound V1 Adjustable Nipple Clamps – Gunmetal.
Yes, more than most. Because the vice tightens with a screw, you can start with barely any pressure and increase slowly, rather than relying on a spring with a fixed grip. Keep first sessions short and check in with your partner often.
Yes. Nipple sensitivity has nothing to do with gender. Men's nipples are often smaller, and the screw adjustment lets the V1 close down far enough to grip without needing a lot of tissue.
Start with five minutes or less, and never longer than about 15 to 20 minutes in one go. Take them off straight away if you feel numbness, sharp pain or see the skin turning white or blue. Release slowly, since the feeling when blood returns is intense.
The V1 are 304 stainless steel with a screw vice, and aren't listed with rubber or silicone tips. Other Bound designs use nickel-free metal with silicone-tipped clamps, such as the C3 clover clamps with weight hooks.
People do use clamps on the labia or other loose skin, but only with care: tighten far less than on nipples, keep it brief and avoid thin or broken skin. NS Novelties sells the V1 for nipple play, so start there.
Only the finish. The gunmetal is darker and more industrial, while the rose gold V1 looks softer against the skin. The 304 stainless steel and the screw vice design are the same on both.
