We help you power yourself to more pleasure from your sex toys. Let’s switch that dial to 11….
Heat things up. If you want to make your sex toy feel a little more life-like, dress it in a self-heating rubber, such as a Pasante Warming Sensation condom. This will make your favourite vibrator feel more like the real thing by bringing it closer to body temperature. Now all you have to do is close your eyes and think of Timothy/Idris/Taylor/all of the above.
Butt of course. When using a sex toy with a vibrating attachment, turn it so the protruding ears, dolphins, or whatever other bizarre silicone sculptures you find stuck on the side of your playthings, point towards your bottom. This way, you can stroke your clit with your fingers and let the buzzing fronds stimulate your a-hole. Nice.
Secret stash. Keep a quiet vibe stored in your bathroom. If you’re getting it on with someone and they can’t give you an orgasm, you can sneak off afterwards for a solo finish. We’re not advocating faking it, but sometimes it’s easier to do the job yourself than plough on. Run the tap to muffle the sound – and if you’re rumbled, you can pretend the buzzing was coming from your electric toothbrush!
Time out. If you start to find it difficult to reach orgasm without toys, take a buzz-break for a week, relying on manual stimulation alone to make yourself come. Then alternate vibrating and non-vibrating self-love sessions, so that your body doesn’t associate just one particular sensation with climax. It may take longer to come during non-vibrating sessions, but if remember, sometimes sex is the journey and not the getting (off) there….
Change the pace. Bought a toy that’s turned out to be way too intense? Place a folded up towel or a pillow between your bits and the toy to defuse the vibrations. Also, remember that vibrations will reduce as batteries run down, so you could also fix the problem by using older batteries to power your toy. Alternatively, if a buzz is too mild, place the fingers of your free hand over your pubic mound and pull up towards your stomach to retract the clitoral hood. Then use the tip of the toy directly on the exposed head of your clitoris.
Maximise orgasms. To maximise your ‘orgasms per battery’ ratio, take batteries out of your toys when they’re not in use and always use rechargeable ones. The Energizer Universal Charger covers a range of battery sizes including AA, AAA and 9V, saving you a wedge on batteries in the long-run.
You Lube: Check your lubricant before you play with your toys. Silicone-based lube erodes silicone toys, and oil-based lubes will erode latex condoms, which some people use to cover their toys. A water-based lube works with everything.
Team vibes. Don’t see vibrators as something to only ever be used individually. Sometimes teaming a clit stimulator with a butt plug, or a G-spot vibe with a vibrating cock ring fitted over the base, can give you way more than twice the fun. Figure out how your sex toys can work together and you can have a whole new type of threesome!
Feeling hammered. If you find it hard to climax after a night out drinking, set aside a ‘drunken vibe’ that has more intense vibrations than the toy you usually favour. We love the MoregasmPlus . Lube is also essential, as too much alcohol can dehydrate you downstairs. Pump-action dispensers are easier to deal with when inebriated; try ID Pleasure, which adds extra sensation – just what you need when you’re hammered.
Suspend-a stocking. Create a saucy Christmas stocking with inexpensive sex toys, and then hang it on the end of your partner’s bed in time for a Christmas morning they’ll never forget. Sextoys.co.uk have a wide range of gift items that won\t break the bank. Add a pack of Mates 3-in-1 condoms, and flavoured lubes and you’ll have yourself a very merry start to the day for under a £20!
Toy Story. If your partner tends to be clueless when it comes to using a toy on you (for example. some men take their inspiration from porn, rather than the way that real women masturbate), write them an erotic story that features them using the toy in exactly the way that you want them to. That way, they won’t think you’re criticising their technique, and you get to feel the buzz in the best possible way. Even better, it’s education doubling as foreplay – particularly if you read them the story in your sultriest tones – so you get the best of both worlds.
