Sex Toys: Care and Cleaning

After you’ve recovered from post-coital bliss, what’s the first thing you do?

Get washed up, right? Do you clean your sex toys, too?

Just like your real-live partner, hygiene is important in ensuring safe sex with your sex toy.  Plus, cleanliness will help keep your sex toy in working order for a longer time.

First of all, get to know B.O.B.,  your Battery (or otherwise) Operated Boyfriend. Get to know what it’s made of. This will be a big help in determining how to take care of it.

Stainless steel, Pyrex and glass toys have the most cleaning options. You can give them a good scrubbing with sex toy cleaner or fragrance-free anti-bacterial soap. You can even boil them in water or put them in the dishwasher. Pat them dry with a towel or let them air dry before storing them. Zipper-lock bags help ensure that they (and all sex toys) remain clean between uses.

Silicone toys can easily be cleaned with a sex toy cleaner or anti-bacterial soap. Some say that you can boil silicone toys, but others argue that boiling can deteriorate silicone. It’s best to stick with a hand wash.

Jelly, soft vinyl, rubber, latex and hard plastic toys need an extra good scrubbing with a sex toy cleaner or anti-bacterial soap. Since they’re made of porous materials, make extra sure that you rinse thoroughly. Soap residue can deteriorate these materials and could cause irritation to mucous membranes.

The same cleaning routine goes for cyberskin toys, which are also porous. Some people recommend giving them a light dusting of corn starch after they’re dry to keep them from getting sticky.

Using a condom on a sex toy, especially if it’s made of a porous material or if it’s an anal toy, will help keep it clean and last for a longer time.

The type of lube you use is another consideration in cleaning your sex toy. Water-based lubes wash off easily in water, but silicone lubes, since they’re made to last, will require an extra scrubbing. Oil-based lubes aren’t recommended for sex toys. Plus, they’re a bugger to wash away.

Be sure to take the batteries out of your sex toys before giving them a scrubbing or a soak. Leave them out of your sex toy until you’re ready to use it again to get the most out of your battery life.

If you have any tears or cracks in your sex toys, throw them out. You never know what kinds of bacteria can breed in them. Plus, you don’t want to risk any tearing or abrasions of your skin and tissue.

Also, don’t forget to give your sex toy a quick wash before you get busy with it!

Gynecologists Designed G-Spot Vibrators that Supposedly Get You to a 'Third Level Orgasm'

What's the third level of orgasm? I believe there is complimentary pizza and an extensive magazine selection. A cursory Google search shows me, accompanied by an illustration of a mandala, that the third level of orgasm involves much more fulfillment, cuddling, humming, and camaraderie than other levels. "You may find yourself moving into a dream state, then become talkative." If that's what the third level of orgasm really is, the Ultimate G sounds a lot like pot brownies. So hand it over.

The main, erm, shaft targets the g-spot while it's two buddy arms go after the inner clitoris, as opposed to the outer clitoris like other sex toys. 

We can't believe all sex toy makers don't seek out the help of medical professionals who could draw a labia with their eyes closed - but there you have it. You learn a new thing every day. 

How To Buy Her A Sex Toy

Silicon, rubber, metal, or glass

You don’t want to go overboard with the first sex toy; keep this one simple, subtle and functional. Silicon and rubber have the most life-like feel to them and are always a good choice. They are also very safe, and warm up under a hot tap easily.

Metal is a bad choice because it is quite cold to start off with, though its firmness may be the selling point. Metal can look quite attractive too, and since sex toys aren’t the most gorgeous things on earth, it’s a plus if they’re not ugly.There are some very beautiful glass dildos available. Glass offers a very smooth sensation, and can be cooled or heated to give her some variety. Opting for the "Joe-blow average" toy is your best bet. Stick to the basics. If in doubt, go with silicon. Silicon is neither too soft nor too hard and is durable and hygienic, making it an excellent choice for sex toys. 

Quality vs. cost

Don’t scrimp and save on this toy because you want quality. Having a toy not work or fall to bits at the crucial moment is going to make you look like a cheapie — a mortal sin in chick-talk! 

Presenting it to her

There are a number of ways to do this. If you want it to be a surprise gift, the classiest thing you can do is have it wrapped and posted straight to her with a sexy note. If you want to use it with her, you could put it under the pillow and give it to her on the spur of the moment, though this approach could have negative consequences if, for some reason, she has a problem with your purchase.  If you have any doubt about the reception you will receive, opt for the safety of the shore: Warn her, and give it to her in a non-sexual situation so she doesn’t feel pressured or uncomfortable. Make it funny or sexy — in other words, make it special in some way. It is highly likely that upon receiving your thoughtful and sexy gift, she will not be able to stop smiling and giggling.  

She'll turn it on and get turned on

Buying your girlfriend a sex toy doesn’t have to be a traumatizing experience. Finding a good shop, whether online or downtown, makes life a lot easier: The staff will be educated, the packaging will be discreet and the toy will go the distance and handle the punishment dished out to it. It takes balls for a man to buy his woman a sex toy without her input, so give yourself a pat on the back for being so brave and courageous — and let her enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Orgasms For Your Health

Did you know just how healthy your orgasm really is?

Since this month is both ‘Womens Health’ and ‘Masturbation’ month, we thought it would be a great time to list just how healthy the female orgasm really is. 

Check out our top 5 reasons on why your orgasm is amazing for your health, whether you go solo or with a partner!

1. Better sleep and less stress Giving yourself the bliss of an orgasm before bedtime, doesn’t just create waves of pleasure for you (and your partner), it also tells your cozy-feeling hormones (namely endorphins) to come out and release their sedative effect.

2. Pain relief and migraine cures Orgasms’ good vibrations release ‘analgesia’ in your body; a natural pain suppressant. The most natural way for a women to reduce any body aches or pains is through the automatic relief of the female orgasm.

3. Stay in shape, protect your heart and connect with your partner The ‘oxytocin’ flush brought on by an orgasm not only reduces stress and lowers blood pressure levels, it also increases empathy and communication. Your orgasm is a sexy way to burn calories, keep your heart happy and improve your relationship.

4. Naturally fight infections, cold and flu Have an “O” and those cold and flu bugs get up and go. Well not quite, but a woman's orgasm does have the power to reduce the risks of pesky colds and flu by up to 20%.

5. Look younger with healthier skin The sexiest way to feel great, and look 10 years younger, is to make love three times a week (or more!) with someone you feel amazing about! During orgasm the ADHE level increases which also enhances healthy skin.
