Arrrhh! Some people would say, this should not be a topic to share knowledge on bla bla bla… Wake up, my dear. Know this and know peace, more girls are now opting for self-satisfaction using any available sex toy to understand what works well for them.
Vibrators can help your body learn to respond to different sensations, says certified sex therapist Kat Van Kirk. It also creates more variety in your sexual repertoire and can spice up your long-term sexual relationships.
Another side of using a vibrator is that you get to know your pleasure zones. If you don’t know what pleases you, it will be hard to explain to your lover how to satisfy you.
SEX TOY SHOPPING: Price, Material, Brand, Functionality etc.
Sex toy shopping can be so overwhelming sometimes. You want to try to be discreet and anonymously order for what you think is cool After all, there are so many kinds! From clit toys to bullets, to internal toys, to rabbits, wands, butt plugs and more.
Ask yourself these before you go for sex toy shopping.
Whether as a beginner or pro, it is always advisable to ask yourself “What you are looking for in a toy before diving into the options” Is it external clit stimulation? Internal stimulation with girth or length or both? Or maybe a toy that is versatile enough to get you off no matter how you want to use it.
Secondly, Which of the lube is good for me, based on the type of sex I want to practise. You’d be hard-pressed to find a toy that isn’t made better with lubrication. We will explain which of the lube to opt for.
Picking a lube:
We have three types of lubes you can select from; Water-based lube, Silicone-based lube and Oil-based lubes
Water-based lube is the most reliable to start with. It can be used for all of your sexual needs: penetrative sex, masturbation, and sex toy play.
Water-based lubes are also ideal for people with sensitive skin or vaginal irritation and can be used with condoms and sex toys. They are easy to clean out of sheets and clothes, without leaving a stain.
Although, for water-play/shower sex, it’s not always advisable to use Water-based lubes Also, water-based lubes tend to get sticky and require frequent re-application. So if you are planning to have marathon sex, might we suggest another type of lubrication.
Silicone-based lube is slippery, long-lasting, and is ideal for a longer sexual session. It does not require reapplication like the aforementioned. Silicone-based lubes are great for shower sex or masturbation in the shower, as they don’t wash away so quickly.
The catch is that silicone-based lubes are a little slower to wash off, as you will need soap and water to clean up afterwards. Note, Silicone-based lubricants should not be used with a silicone-based sex toy, as they can break down the rubber over time.
However, this doesn’t mean all sex toys are off-limits with silicone-based lubricants, there are many toys made from other materials, like hard plastic, glass, steel etc.
Oil-based lube provides a slippery feel that lasts longer than water-based lube. This lube is good for masturbation, penetrative unprotected sex, and water-play.
Oil-based lubes (or any other oil products like petroleum jelly or mineral oil) should not be used with latex condoms, as they can dissolve the latex of the condom and may cause latex condoms to break.
Latex sex toys should be also kept away from oil-based lubricants. Non-latex condoms are also sensitive to oil-based personal lubricants, so check the package before use. Another downside to oil-based lubes is that they can be harder to clean off of sheets and your body.

Bottom Line:
When going for Sex toy shopping, in some cases, avoid any lubricant that contains any artificial flavours, colours, sugars, essential oils, additional additives, or glycerine, you never know how you’ll react to these additives. Although you can go ahead if it’s not your first time using it.
Also, just because a product is natural doesn’t certainly mean it is better. Check the ingredients list, read product reviews, or go to a sex toy shop to ask their experts.
