In BDSM terms, a zipper is a string of clothespins or other clips, held together loosely by a cord or light chain.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
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.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Zippers come in many sizes and with varied numbers of clips. They are a very popular home-made BDSM toy.
