Not to be used with sex toys, unless they are made from steel or glass. I prefer to use silicone lubricant during anal sex, as it lasts much longer. Silicone Lubricants are designed to be longer lasting, silkier and don’t get sticky at all as they start to dry out. Both are completely safe to use for intercourse, with condoms and with sex toys. Alternatively, Liquid Silk (250mls £9.99) has a creamy texture, and comes in an easy to use pump bottle – making reapplication a cinch, even with slippery fingers. It last for a while before you need reapplication and it’s odourless/tasteless. The GiveLube LubeTube (100mls £10.99) is a brilliant lube that’s got a good consistency, and isn’t too sticky. Water-based Lubricant is the most versatile. It’s useful for playing with toys, for sex, for masturbation, for massage… you can do SO much with lube, and for some things, it’s an absolute NECESSITY. Lube is probably the most vital piece of ‘kit’ in anyone’s toy box. The first thing really should be a good quality lube (and lots of it). So let’s start off with one of the most important products that EVERYONE should have beside the bed… Lubricant Sex toys not only improve your solo experiences, but also when implemented correctly, can be a wonderful addition to the bedroom with your partner. The important thing to remember on choosing your first sex toy is that it is completely normal.
Although I warn you now, once you’ve started, you are going to need a bigger cabinet. So to make things easier for those tentatively taking their first steps towards purchasing a sex toy, I’ve compiled a short list of ‘must-haves’ – things that every budding sex toy collector should be stashing in their bedside cabinet. I remember when I first started shopping for something to ‘spice things up’ – I was completely blown away with how much choice there was! It certainly made picking a starting point very difficult. But where do you start?Īs a reviewer, I’ve seen my fair share of toys and there are a lot out there. Go on any sex toy site, and you’ll be greeted by thousands of weird and wonderful contraptions of self-pleasure. Choosing your first sex toy can be tough.
