The present invention describes a clothespin (1) comprising a head (2), a first arm 3 and a second arm (4), which first arm (3) and second arm (4) extend out from the head (2), wherein the first arm (3) comprises an opening portion (30), wherein the second arm (4) extends in through the opening portion (30) of the first arm (3), out on the other side and then back through the opening portion (30) of the first arm (3) again, and wherein, when viewing the clothespin (1) from the side, there is created an upper geometrical hollow space (7), from the head (2) and down to a first point where the first arm (3) and the second arm (4) interact at first, and a lower geometrical hollow space (8) from the first point to a second point where the first arm (3) and the second arm (4) interact a second time, said lower geometrical hollow space (8) creating pinching effect, preferably the first arm (3) is a double arm extending out from the head (2).
