Everything is going to feel better when you're already aroused. Use that to your advantage! Enjoy foreplay and other types of arousing activities before you begin playing with your clamps. You may also want to plan some specific arousing activities for when the clamps are removed. Many people find that removing genital clamps makes the area more sensitive for a while, so you should take advantage of this new-found enjoyment if you find that it's true for you as well. Just like any other type of sexual clamp you'd use, you need to use patience. Sexual clamps work by restricting blood flow to a particular area. In short bursts they are pleasurable and very enjoyable. However, it's important that you don't push it too quickly. Start with small bursts of use. Most experts recommend starting with 3 to 5 minutes as a maximum (depending on the strength of your clamp). Promptly remove the clamps if the skin seems less flushed or if you begin to experience pain. As you regularly use the clamps, you'll begin to understand exactly how long you can wear them safely. For safety, it's always better to take them off early than to leave them on too long. You're going to want some lubricant lying around, especially if you have pubic hair. Lightly lubricate the genital area and the tips of the clamp unless you would really prefer that the clamp doesn't move a centimeter during use. Why use lubricant in the first place? Lubricant reduces the likelihood that the clamp will get tangled in your pubic hair or that it will start to chafe in this sensitive area. If you're not using lubricant, be extra careful with the clamps to ensure you don't hurt yourself or your partner.
