Material Matters: Choosing Body-Safe Toys
When it comes to sex toys, you want to be pickier than a toddler at dinnertime. Opt for:
- Silicone: Soft, flexible, and easy to clean
- ABS Plastic: Firm and great for targeted stimulation
- Glass or metal: Smooth and perfect for temperature play
Avoid jelly-like materials or anything with a strong chemical smell. Your bits deserve the best!
Lube: Your New Best Friend
Think of lube as the sidekick to your superhero toy. It reduces friction, increases comfort, and amps up pleasure. Some tips:
- Water-based lubes are compatible with all toy materials
- Silicone-based lubes last longer but shouldn’t be used with silicone toys
- Always use lube for anal play – the booty doesn’t self-lubricate!
Keeping It Clean: Hygiene 101
Cleaning your toys is crucial – think of it as brushing your teeth, but for your pleasure parts:
- Wash with mild soap and warm water before and after each use
- For battery-operated toys, be careful not to submerge the battery compartment
- Store in a cool, dry place – a dedicated toy bag is perfect
Using Your Toys: Tips for First-Timers
- Start solo: Get comfortable with your new toy on your own before introducing it to partner play.
- Read the manual: Yes, really! It might have helpful tips or important safety info.
- Start slow: Begin with the lowest settings and work your way up.
- Explore: Try different angles, pressures, and spots to see what feels good.
- Relax: Take deep breaths and remember – it’s all about feeling good!
Troubleshooting: When Things Get Awkward
- It feels weird: That’s okay! New sensations take time to get used to. Give it a few tries.
- It’s too intense: Dial down the speed, use it over clothing, or try a different spot.
- It’s not doing anything for me: Try a different type of toy – everyone’s body responds differently.
- My partner feels threatened: Have an open, honest conversation. Toys are meant to enhance, not replace!
