NIPPLE CLAMPS
Nipple clamps work on tension rather than crushing force, and the adjustable ones let you set exactly how much. Bells, chains, pearls and feathers, a weed leaf pair, and a collar with clamps attached to it.

A nipple clamp applies steady pressure that restricts blood flow to the nipple. What you feel while it is on is pressure and a dull ache. The sharp part comes when it comes off and blood rushes back in, not when it goes on. That reversal is the actual appeal, and it surprises almost everybody the first time.
Adjustable clamps use a sliding ring or a screw to set the tension, which is what makes them suitable for a first try. Fixed tension clamps do one thing at one strength. If you do not know yet what you like, adjustable is the only sensible place to start.
The rule that matters more than any other here: fifteen to twenty minutes, maximum. Past that you are restricting blood flow long enough to cause real damage rather than sensation. Set a timer if you lose track of things, and take them off slowly rather than pulling, because the release is intense enough on its own without adding a yank to it.
They differ by tension and by what hangs off them.
If it is your first pair: adjustable, and looser than feels like anything at all. You can always tighten. A fixed tension pair that turns out to be too strong gets worn once and never again.
If you want the sensation to build on its own: weight. Bells, chains and beads add a steady pull that keeps working without anybody doing anything.
If you want sound: bells. They turn every movement into noise, which does something entirely separate from what the clamps themselves are doing.
If it is a set piece as much as a toy: feathers, pearls and crystal. These are built to be seen, and that is a legitimate reason to pick one over another.
On safety: fifteen to twenty minutes maximum, and release slowly. Longer restricts blood flow past the point of being sensation. Take them off one at a time and give it a second, because coming off is the intense part.
