Some extra chairs had been set up in the living room and Nancy saw there was more food and drink laid out in the adjoin dining room. She counted nine other women besides herself, her sister, and Mary, their host. Most of the women were still milling about until an older woman moved next to a table in the front of the room and asked them to find a seat. She had dirty blonde hair made up in a single brad that was coiled up and secured to the top of her head. She was about Nancy's height, but had a thicker body. She was wearing a knee-length skirt that revealed large muscular calves and thick ankles. She had a white cotton blouse that fit loosely, but it couldn't conceal her very large breasts.
"Hi everyone! For those who don't already know me, I'm Iris Ford. I know that some of you can't wait to see the new items in my catalog, but for the newcomers, I just want to let you know how I work. First, I want to make sure all of my customers are happy with their purchases and you'll find that for many items, I have a 'try before you buy' option. For those items, I'll provide you a sample to take home and try it out in the privacy of your own bedroom. If you decide to purchase it, you just send me a check for your payment. Otherwise, just contact me and I'll arrange to stop by and pick it up from you whenever it's convenient. If that's something that interests you, talk to me about it afterwards and I'll let you know if the particular product you're interested in is part of that program."
"Now, I have quite a few new items to show you as well as several more that always seem to be a crowd favorite," she said with a laugh. As Iris continued her introduction, Nancy glanced around the room to look at the other guests. She confirmed her initial assessment that she was probably the oldest one in the room, but Iris actually seemed very close to her age. Mary seemed to be the youngest, but probably not by very much. Most of the women were listening to Iris, but a few were whispering with their neighbors and giggling. Iris' voice changed and Nancy's attention was drawn back to the front of the room.
"Okay, ladies, let's get started," she said with anticipation. Iris reached down to a large complex folding case, opened it up, and pulled out several items which she set on the table next to her. Nancy immediately recognized them as various kinds of nipple clamps, including a simple and unadorned chained set like the one Paul had bought for her. She became intrigued to hear about the rest of them and their differences.
"I'm sure that you have all seen nipple clamps before and you may have even tried them. We offer a wide range of styles and you see just a few of the options here on the table. For those who are unfamiliar, there are two basic types of clamps, adjustable and non-adjustable. The adjustable styles typically have some sort of small thumbscrew that controls how hard the clamp is attached to the nipple. The non-adjustable types tend to use either springs or magnets to clamp on, but there is no way to control the pressure. For those who are new to nipple play, I strongly suggest that you start with a simple set of adjustable clamps like these." Iris held up a pair that looked like two tweezers. "This is one of my beginner sets. As you see, they come with these silicon rubber tips over the business end to reduce any serious discomfort. Once you've become familiar with them and feel like you want to move things up another notch, just take the silicon tips off," Iris paused briefly as she slipped the brightly colored rubber ends of each part of the clamps, "and now you can make the pressure much more localized on your nipple for greater intensity."
"Let me demonstrate how easy they are to use," she continued. To the surprise of Nancy and some of the other women, Iris unbuttoned the front of her blouse and pulled one of her large breasts out over the top of her lacy bra. "Just slip the clamp around the nipple like this, and then slide this small collar up or down to control the pressure." As she moved the small ring closer to her pale red nipple, Nancy could see the ends squeezing tighter and the nipple becoming swollen and a darker color.
When everyone had a chance to view it, Iris removed the clamp, slipped the silicon tips back over the clamp ends and handed the pair of clamps to the first woman in the front row to look at and pass around to the others. "Next, is an example of one of our magnetic style clamps," Iris said. She held up a pair of shiny metal objects. "These are about as simple you get with no moving parts. However, the magnets are very strong and you can't adjust the pressure from this style." Pulling one of the magnetic clamps apart, she placed the two metal pieces on either side of her exposed nipple. Nancy could still see the indentations from where the first clamp had squeezed it hard. Iris let go of the powerful magnet and it held itself tightly against the opposing piece with her nipple caught between them. Iris then tugged on the body of the larger piece and lifted her breast up with it.
"As you can see," she said, "the magnets are quite strong." By then, Nancy could see the exposed end of Iris's nipple becoming swollen and turning a darker, deeper shade of red. Iris pulled her other breast out over the top of her bra and affixed the second clamp to it the same way. "I don't recommend this set for beginners because they may find it too painful at first and it requires more attention to prevent injuring yourself."
Iris remained in front of everyone with both breasts hanging down over her bra and her nipples being pulled downward by the weight of the metal clamped around them as she picked up the next item. "As you can see, this set has a nice chain linking the two clamps together. Some people like the chain for decorative purposes while others like to incorporate it into their play. After putting the clamps in place, the weight of the chain pulls down on the clamps to add a little more tension on the nipples, or you and your partner can tug on the chain. We have a variety of small weights that are designed to be hung on the chain or individual clamps for even greater tension."
To demonstrate, she removed the magnetic clamps from her nipples and put the new set on her already distended nipples. She tightened the screws to hold each clamp firmly in place and her swollen nipples clearly stood out. She held the chain and pulled on it to left both of her breasts up high by their nipples before releasing it and letting them fall back down over her chest.
"We do have a variety of chains that you can attach to many of our individual clamps to link them together if you want to start simple and then add to your set for more variety," she commented as the women watched in rapt attention. Nancy already had a chain on her set which she and Paul had but to good use, so she was less interested in that option.
Iris removed the second set of clamps from her nipples and then passed it around for the women to look at while she went to the next item on her table.
"This set is a bit different from the other styles you've seen. It's called the 'Chinese Teardrop' and while it is technically considered a non-adjustable design, the clamps actually tighten as you pull on them." She held up a large, ornate pair of clamps joined by a set of set of chains, each of a different length and together, they formed what looked like a necklace with multiple loops cascading down. Nancy watched Iris fiddle with the first clamp and fasten it to her right breast before placing the second one on her left breast.
"It's initially held on by spring action, but...," she tugged out on the dangling chain loops, "when you pull on the chains, the clamps constrict on the nipples with greater pressure than the springs alone can provide." She pivoted around to give each woman in the room a good view of how the clamps held on tightly and then removed the clamps and passed them around the room to catch up with the previous sets. "Feel free to try them on yourself," she encouraged as the women played with the mechanisms. However, nobody actually tried one out on their nipples. Most just put a clamp on one of their fingers to get a feel for how it felt and worked.
"The last design I want to share with you is just a variation on the previous three. You can have either adjustable or spring-loaded, non-adjustable clamps for your nipples, but there is an additional chain with a third clamp that extends downward for your clitoris." As she described it, Iris held up a pair of nipple clamps joined by a single long chain. In the middle of that chain was a second chain hanging down and a third clamp at the end of it.
