This guide includes why particular toys are used, how they are used, how to care for them, and precautions you may want to consider. Have fun with this!

Vibrator/Dildo

• Be creative and let your inhibitions go
• Probe the tip of the vibrator in and out of you vagina teasing it lightly at first
• You can also insert it and move it around inside as it vibrates on the walls of your vagina

• Be sure to use proper lubrication (water-based is best)
• You can use it anally if you wish to try, but be certain to clean and sanitize it before and after its use.
• Avoid placing the toy in your anus and directly into your vagina without cleaning, there are harmful bacteria that can cause infections
• There are many sex-toy cleaning products on the market
  
  
  Waterproof Vibrator
  
• The water helps you to relax as you soar to ecstasy!
• Make sure the battery case is closed tightly so that water does not enter and destroy the motor
  
  
  Egg/ Bullet Vibrator
  
• Used for clitoral stimulation
• Start slow and increase the speed if desired
• Try snuggling it into your clitoral hood,(inside vaginal lips) on top of your clitoris (bullet)
• Egg vibrators can lie between vaginal fold between clitoris and vaginal opening
• Move the mini toy around to find your favorite spot
• .Small, portable, and discrete - good for traveling
  
  
  Strap on vibrators
  
• Venus Butterfly or Venus Penis
• Some can be used during intercourse
• Provides hand’s-free stimulation – makes household chores more enjoyable!!
  
  
  Cock-ring
  
• Enhances an erect penis (harder)
• Prolongs an erection
• Puts pressure on the dorsal vein (main vein in the back of the penis) and keeps blood in the penis
• Heighten sensitivity of sex and masturbation
• Prevents premature ejaculation by preventing the flow of liquids in the penis
• Push the ring down to the base of the shaft before becoming erect
• You can use a lubricant to ease the ring on and/or off
• Sizing is important – if it is too small it could cut circulation off to the penis, if it is too big it could fall off
• To measure the size of the cock ring you require, measure the diameter of the base of the shaft and the scrotum together while erect
• First time users should try an adjustable ring
• Never leave a cock ring on for more than 20-30 minutes
  
  
  Penis pump
  
• Men use penis pumps to help with erectile dysfunction and to attain stronger, more firm erections
• They will not increase the size of your penis
• With regular use, it exercises the muscles to make it appear more firm and solid
• It works by creating a vacuum suction in the cylinder which draws blood into the penis, forcing it to become erect
• Expect a slight tingling feeling, but it should not be painful
• It is advised to trim the pubic hair at the base of the penis to create a better seal
• A small amount of water-based lubricant can help to prevent friction and create a better seal
• Place the cylinder so it is snugly resting on the base of your penis and pump the air out of the cylinder with the hand pump so that a vacuum is created. If the cylinder has a thumb hole, you must place your finger over the hole in order to enable vacuum suction in the cylinder.
• Do this slowly so you do not erupt any blood vessels in your penis. This process should not hurt. If you feel any pain, stop using the penis vacuum pump. The vacuum that you have created draws blood into the penis, forcing it to become erect.
• Do not overuse the penis pump or repeat the process too many times in one day because it is possible to cause tissue damage. You should always stop using the pump if you feel too much discomfort.
  
  
  Masturbators (pocket pussy)
  
• Used to keep males satisfied when a partner is not available
• Portable and easy to hide
• Mimics the feeling of a vagina to bring about an orgasm
• Use water-based lubrication to prevent friction and create an even more wonderful feeling
• Open-ended for easy cleaning- clean after every use
  
  
  Butt Plugs
  
• These are a narrow tapered object with a flared base usually made out of vinyl rubber, jelly, or silicone. The flared base is to prevent the anal toy from being sucked into the rectum.
• Why? It helps to give a feeling of fullness in the anus that contributes to sexual arousal and an incredibly powerful orgasm for both men and women.
• For women, wearing an anal plug during sex will force the penis to thrust towards the front of the vaginal walls increasing the contact with her g-spot with every thrust in.
• For men, it stimulates the prostate that gives sensations similar to stimulating a woman's g-spot.
• To insert, use a generous amount of anal lube and insert very carefully and slowly
• Vibrating butt plugs can also be used (offering various speeds)Never insert anything into the anus that does not have a flared base or retrieval handle. This could cause an embarrassing visit to the emergency room!
  
  
  Anal Beads
  
  
• Used by both men and women for anal stimulation
• Lubricate each bead with an anal lube and insert one at a time - a thicker lubricant coats the surface providing more comfort
• Proceed with masturbation or sexual intercourse
• At the time of orgasm, pull the beads out slowly and steadily
• It is very important to use a lubricant because the anus does not lubricate itself like the vagina does.
  
  Never attempt to make your own anal beads or insert something into the anus that you think could substitute for anal beads. If the string ever breaks or the beads fall off from homemade anal beads we are looking at another embarrassing visit to the ER.
  
  Be sure to clean the beads after every use using a sex toy cleaner or mild soap and water. Lather it well, especially the nylon string and let them dry before putting them away. Silicone beads are non-porous and easy to clean.
  


Care for your Toys:

• ALWAYS KEEP THEM CLEAN (wash before and after use)
• Many sex toy cleaners are available and advisable (mild detergents can sometimes be used)
• Rinse first with hot water
• Spray cleaner on the surface
• Rinse off with hot water
• Let dry completely before storing
• You can store products in their original containers, or wrap individually in a clean lint-free cloth
• Keep in a cool dry place
• Never leave the batteries in your toys- it could ruin the motor
  
  
  Bringing Toys into Your Relationship:
  
• Don’t be shy- broach the subject with your partner
• Do some research on the toys you would like to try before bringing it up; that way you may be able to answer some questions that might come up
• Start with beginners toys, or just the easy/ small ones
• If you don’t want to talk about it, try coming home from work one day with a “gift” nicely wrapped
• Be sure to purchase lubrication (water-based) as well
• Mention how you might like to spice things up in the relationship to keep it thriving
