A Beginner's Guide to Sex Toys

National Sex Toy Day is observed on November 4th. If you are unfamiliar with the world of sex toys, it may be a little confusing because there are so many options, but it's okay. This sex toy beginner's guide will cover all of your questions and get you started on the path to amassing a fantastic collection of toys.

Types of Toys

The form and functionality of sex toys were once restricted, but in modern society, toys are incredibly versatile. It's critical to comprehend the classifications of sex toys before beginning to use them. Toys are typically categorized according to the body part they are meant to stimulate. Vibrators, dildos, couple's toys, penile toys, and anal toys are the main categories you'll see. There is a more detailed analysis of each area where things might become complex.

Both internal and external vibrators are possible, and occasionally, they come in combo toys called dual stimulators, which include well-known bullets. Dildos can also be vibrators. Sometimes vibrating, sometimes not, dildos are internal toys. They have realistic or phallic-looking dildos, as well as ones that don't resemble human anatomy at all. Toys for couples are a really creative area. Some couple's toys are simply two toys in one package, while others are made to be used by two people simultaneously for enjoyable moments with a partner. Cock rings, body forms for penetration, and strokers are all included in the broad category of penile toys. Anal toys are a simple category that consists of a wide variety of toys, including vibrating toys like butt plugs or anal beads, toys made especially for stimulating the prostate, and anal toys that challenge the limits of the human body.

Vibes or No Vibes

You must make your own decision now that you are aware of the categories. Do you desire anything that vibrates? For many people who are experiencing toys for the first time, vibration is a novel experience. Vibration comes in two flavors: rumbly and fuzzy. High-frequency vibrations that are easier to feel are known as buzzy vibrators. Low-frequency vibrations that go deeper into the body and produce stronger orgasms are known as rumbly vibrators. The easiest method to determine the type of vibration a toy has is to feel it, so head to the closest Lion's Den to experience the toys for yourself and choose the one that best suits your needs.

Materials Matter

It won't take long to realize that sex toys are built of a wide variety of materials, and while they do exist, not all of them are ideal for sex toys. Since non-porous materials can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized and do not harbor bacteria, you should generally seek out toys made of them. Glass, metal (often stainless steel), and silicone (medical grade is the best choice) are suitable materials. Since those materials are non-porous, toys made of them can be thoroughly cleaned. Rubber, jelly, and PVC toys should be avoided since they are porous and impossible to spotless. Additionally, these gadgets aren't the most comfortable to use.

Caring for Your Toys

You can start your store now that you have a more substantial base of toys, but there is still one crucial aspect to consider: how to take care of your toys. Since toys are an investment, you want them to endure as long as possible, and caring for them is one way to achieve that. Maintaining the lifespan of your toys requires regular cleaning. Usage a mild, unscented hand soap or toy cleaner to clean your toys both before and after each usage. Purchasing some toy-cleaning wipes can be helpful if, like me, you find it difficult to get out of bed to clean your toys after each use. Your toys should be kept in a dry, room-temperature location. Keeping them in the storage bag or sack that comes with your item will also extend its lifespan.

Now that you understand the fundamentals of toys and how to maintain them, you can celebrate National Sex Toy Day by setting up your shop! Because your toys look after you, always remember to take care of them.
