Why People Use Sex Toys

Sex toys aren’t just for orgasms they’re for wellness.

People use toys to:

• Understand their body
• Increase sexual confidence
• Improve orgasms (solo or partnered)
• Strengthen relationships
• Explore sensations they can’t create manually
• Reduce anxiety around performance
• Add novelty or variety
• Support pleasure when stress or hormones affect libido

Pleasure isn’t a luxury.
Pleasure is a form of self-care, grounding, and connection.

Beginner Principles for Using Sex Toys

Whether you’re a woman, man, or part of a couple, the basics of using toys remain the same.

Start Slow (Always)

Your body responds best to gradual stimulation.
Think: warm-up → arousal → rhythm → release.

Choose Body-Safe Materials

Silicone is the gold standard. Smooth, medical-grade, non-porous, and safe.

Use Water-Based Lube

It enhances sensitivity and reduces friction.
Especially helpful for:

• Beginners
• Menopause
• During menstruation
• People with dryness or tension

Explore Without Goals

There is no “right” orgasm.
Let your curiosity guide you.

Clean Before & After

Warm water + mild soap → simple, hygienic, safe.

Listen to Your Body

Pleasure should feel warm, full, and safe never sharp or forced.

Beginner Toys for Women (External, Internal & Blended)

Hybrid or Dual Stimulators (For Blended Pleasure)
