Who Uses Sex Toys?

Whether you're in a relationship or not, sexual satisfaction can contribute to your overall well being. Sex toys are designed for adults of all genders, sexual orientations, and life stages so no matter who you are there is something out there for you! Sexual pleasure is scientifically proven to reduce stress, promote better sleep, boost the immune system, and can even help boost self-confidence. We firmly believe that sex toys are for everyone! 

Is Using A Sex Toy Safe? 

As long as you use them correctly and hygienically, sex toys are considered safe. Some things to consider are sex toy materials, a flared base if using anally, and making sure to use a condom if sharing a toy or using a toy anally and then switching to using it vaginally. We also recommend always lots of toy compatible lubricant with strokers & masturbators, anal toys, and insertable vibrators to prevent any damage to your most sensitive areas when using a toy.

What Are The Benefits Of Sex Toys?

• Can help improve quality of sleep: sexual activity (orgasm or not) can release feel good hormones like Oxytocin. This helps the body relax more deeply, resulting in improved sleeping patterns and overall sleep quality. 
  
• Makes it easier to orgasm: many folks with sexual difficulties need a little help with getting there, and sometimes a sex toy is the perfect sidekick to help make the big finish. 
• Allows for new sensations: exploring new sensations like patterns & rhythms of vibrating toys can unlock a whole new world of feelings! 

What Type Of Sex Toy Should I Start With? 

There is a huge selection of beginner friendly toys on the market. We recommend starting with something simple and budget friendly while you discover what type of sensations and styles you like best. For stimulating a vulva, toys like bullet vibrators or wand vibrators are great starting points. For a penis, simple handheld strokers are perfect because they are budget friendly and are usually easy to clean. For all beginner friendly sex toys, take a look at our Beginner Friendly Sex Toys collection for some inspiration.  

The Takeaway:

There's no right or wrong way to experience pleasure! Sex toys aren't necessary, and there should never be pressure to use them. Exploring your sexuality with toys should be fun, comfortable, and entirely up to YOU!
