Elegant -> RE: New twist on a "zipper" (12/3/2006 8:17:09 AM)

I have a huge love of all things clippy. Master and I call this kind of play 'Microbondage' since, in effect, one if binding extremely small sections of skin with a clothespin. We even do a class on Microbondage that is informative, fun and interactive.
A bit of info from the class that I like to share..safety stuff:
Death of Skin Cells Twenty minutes has been the rule of thumb as to how long a clamp or clothespin can be left on before skin cells start to die off. Now we kill off skin cells in play all the time. Cuts and welts kill off skin cells as well. So be aware of what is happening and what risks you are willing to take.
Abrasion If you tug, swat, zip, or rip off clothespins you have added abrasion to your play. This means you may tear away skin and even draw blood. So again I caution you about two things: dedicate or sterilize your clothespins and don’t touch someone else’s clothespins that have been removed that way.
Most skin does grow back fairly quickly. However there are some considerations that must be taken into account when dealing with breasts, nipples and genitals
Mastitis Cuts and abrasion on the nipple could lead to Mastitis, an infection of the breasts which occurs when bacteria enters the mammary ducts through the nipple
Fibrocystic Breasts Fibrocysts often cause the breast tissue to feel dense, irregular and bumpy. Often they feel swollen, dull, achy and tender. Severe pain with any compression or impact is also common and often feels like a burning sensation. Fibrocysts are most often located in both breasts and commonly found in the upper outer part and the underside of the breasts. Microbondage should avoid those areas on fibrocystic breasts if pain is severe.
Menstrual Cycle Many women have changes in their breasts that are related to their monthly menstrual cycle. Swelling, tenderness, thickening, and pain in the breasts may occur before and during the menstrual period. At the same time, one or more lumps or a feeling of increased "lumpiness" may appear in the breasts. These symptoms can be caused by extra fluid collecting in the breast tissue, which is normal. Microbondage during the menstrual cycle can be excruciating to some women.
Mammary Duct Ectasia This is a disease of women nearing menopause. Ducts beneath the nipple become inflamed and can become clogged. Mammary duct ectasia can be painful and produce a thick, sticky discharge that is gray to green in color. Breast microbondage should not be done on a woman with mammary duct ectasia.
Piercings And Wounds Microbondage over lacerations and puncture wounds, whether purposeful (piercing) or accidental can bleed profusely due to the engorgement of venous blood in the area. Be prepared to apply pressure to control hemorrhage.
Hernias and Cysts Those with scrotal hernias, epididymal cysts, and breast cysts should not be subjected to even mild forms of microbondage on the affected areas.
Breast and Scrotum Hematomas A hematoma is a swelling filled with blood that is caused by trauma. Hematomas most commonly form when the skin has been broken but other causes can apply. Large, dense, black bruises are often hematomas. Hematomas on the breast and scrotum are caused by: - Leaving the clip/pin on for too long
- Trying to pinch too much skin into the devise
- Applying extreme pressure on the jaws of the devise for more than a few seconds.
- Twisting the breast/scrotum tissue with the devise
A hematoma is an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria. A small hematoma usually absorbs on its own but a large one often requires surgery. Breast hematomas can cause fat necrosis (destruction of fatty tissue), which leads to internal scar tissue formation. Remaining tissue becomes hardened, forming benign lumps mimicking that of breast cancer. Hematomas within the scrotal sack can cause pain and "shift" adjacent structures, including vessels and nerves.
