When we say playtime, we mean playtime. Sex toys are all about having a good time but a little know-how goes a long way in making sure your experience is safe, satisfying, and drama-free.
So before you dive into your pleasure drawer, take a moment to read our essential tips for getting frisky the smart way.
Do...
If you're new to toys, ease in with the smallest size. Confidence builds with comfort.
💖 Do your homework
Read reviews, blogs (like ours!), and check out user experiences before choosing a toy.
💖 Keep it clean
Always wash your toys with warm water and gentle soap or a toy-safe cleaner. Store them somewhere dry, clean, and discreet.
💖 Use lube - always
Lube makes everything better, especially when it comes to penetration. It reduces friction and boosts pleasure.
💖 Match your lube to your toy
Silicone toys pair best with water-based lubricants to avoid damaging the material.
💖 Explore what excites you
There’s a whole world of pleasure to discover-solo or with a partner. Don’t be afraid to try new sensations
❌ Don’t...
🚫 Feel pressured
If you’re not ready or not feeling it, that’s okay. Only explore what you’re comfortable with.
🚫 Share without care
Always clean toys between partners or use a condom if you’re sharing.
🚫 Mix bum and vaginal play
Bacteria from the back door should never travel forward. Make sure you wash toys or change condoms if you switch.
🚫 Insert unsafe items
Only use toys designed specifically for anal play - look for a flared base to avoid any unwanted surprises.
🚫 Buy porous toys
Avoid toys made from porous materials - they’re harder to clean and can harbor bacteria. Stick to body-safe materials like silicone, ABS plastic, or stainless steel.
🚫 Give up too soon
Sometimes it takes a few tries to find your rhythm with a new toy. Stay curious. Your pleasure is worth exploring
