Sex Toys

Sex toys are adult pleasure instruments. Some are designed to provide external pleasure, others internal, but they're often made for different body types and genders. In the former category are toys like vibrators and clit suckers. Vibrators provide clitoral stimulation with rumbly motions or vibration patterns, while clit suckers literally do "suck," imitating cunnilingus. Internal toys include dildoes, which may be shaped like an actual phallus or not, and butt plugs. Dildoes can be inserted internally or placed in a harness to be a strap-on. Another variety of sex toy is a rabbit vibrator, which is both a dildo and a vibrator. These toys are made of body-safe material, like medical-grade silicone, and need to be cared for in a specific way. Always clean your sex toys before and after each use; you can use a special toy cleaner, or mild soap and water. Lubricant is helpful when using toys, but check what material both the toy and lube are made out of as it can damage the toy. Silicone lube, for example, can degrade silicone toys. There are sex toys at every budget type, from under $50 to over $200. People of any sexual orientation use sex toys. You can use them solo or with a partner.
