In BDSM terms, a zipper is a string of clothespins or other clips, held together loosely by a cord or light chain.{{Cite book|last=Rinella|first=Jack|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/840121857|title=The toybag guide to clips and clamps|date=2011|publisher=Greenery Press|isbn=978-1-890159-95-5|location=Eugene, Ore.|oclc=840121857|page=7}}
The skin is clipped in the clips for a short time, then the cord is pulled, causing the clips to be pulled off the skin one by one in rapid sequence causing a unique sensation.{{Cite book|last=Venning|first=Rachel|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53382382|title=Sex toys 101 : a playfully, uninhibited guide|date=2003|publisher=Simon & Schuster|isbn=0-7432-4351-X|location=New York|oclc=53382382|page=155|quote=Remember that bit about sensations piling up on one another?
