How can you respond to that title with a one word answer Vern?
Have you had to cut off part of your nipple?
How much did you have to cut off?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I've never had to do that, but there are more than one slave out there, maybe you have the one that needs to have nipple reduction


 ;D

yes, this is common with a new clutch slave. You need to grind the nipple down until it is flat (only the "nut" should be remaining)

So, said another way, grind your nipple down to your nut... ouch... :D
