If you’ve decided to enter a new world of pleasure by exploring sex toys for the first time, then you probably have a lot of questions. Experimenting with sex toys can be overwhelming, and even daunting, which is why WST Australia is here to provide all the information you need. 

In this blog we’ll explore the different types of sex toys available, how to care for them, and how to use them. Hopefully, this guide will make you feel more confident — and excited — to try something new and fun in the bedroom. 

Why You Should Try Using A Sex Toy 

Before we get into how to use a sex toy, first we need to discuss why using one can be beneficial and enjoyable. The truth is that masturbation can be fantastic for your physical and mental wellbeing. Not only does sex with a vibrator allow you to reach orgasm, which feels great, it also relaxes your body, reduces tension, and relieve stress. It helps you sleep better as well, and orgasms produce a rush of endorphins and “happy hormones” which give you a boost! 

Masturbating with a sex toy is also safe, removing the possibility of contracting an STI or falling pregnant, therefore providing peace of mind and again, less stress. Removing stress or risk factors can help you enjoy it even more.

Types Of Sex Toys 

Learning how to use your sex toy is determined by what kind of sex toy you have. There are many types of toys available, such as ones for solo play, couples play, men, and women. There are toys that simulate sex with a person with thrusting motions, toys that stimulate the most sensitive parts of your body, like the clitoris, and some that are great for men like anal beads, cock rings, and butt plugs. Essentially, items that provide sexual pleasure are considered sex toys, even some less common ones like nipple clamps and penis rings.

Once you’ve chosen a sex toy, it’s best to do some research, which will give you some insights on how to use it! Make sure to read reviews, consider different brands, materials used, shape, and size. It’s best to feel comfortable and confident in your choice, especially if this is your first time buying and using a sex toy. 

How To Use A Vibrator Safely

Now, to the important stuff. Learning how to use a vibrator when you’re a beginner takes time, patience, and practice. And a lot of lube! Use these tips to help you: 

Read The Instructions: You can’t go wrong with reading the instructions on the packaging of your new toy! The instructions will include how to use it, how to power it if it has a vibrating feature, how to clean it, and more! 

Clean Your Toy: While this isn’t necessarily going to put you in the mood, it is critical to make sure that your toy is cleaned before and after use. Read up on how your specific toy should be cleaned, as porous and non-porous sex toys require different treatment. It’s important to only use your toy when it is clean, as it could introduce harmful bacteria into your body if not. Even if it’s straight out of the box, you don’t want to risk it!

Power Source: Once clean, it’s time to source power for your toy if it has a vibrating or thrusting feature. Before use, make sure you have new batteries on hand, or that your toy is charged — you don’t want your toy to run out of juice while you’re using it!

Set The Mood: Masturbating, enjoying your body and providing pleasure to yourself, whether you’re alone or with a partner, shouldn’t always be quick and utilitarian. Sometimes, you should make it an event. Especially when using your sex toy for the first time! So set the mood, play some music, light some incense, dim the lights, use some massage oils to relax you, and make it indulgent. 

Use Lubricants: Lube is a big part of using a vibrator. Even though women’s bodies produce a natural lubrication, you want your first time to be smooth and painless. Lube helps facilitate a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Go Slow: Finally, it’s best to ease into it. Again, comfort and enjoyment is key! If your toy vibrates, start on the lowest setting. Find vibrating patterns you’re comfortable with, increasing vibration strength as you go along. If it’s uncomfortable or painful, it’s best to stop and try something else. You are the master of your own body, and it’s okay to revisit your sex toy at another time if you’re not enjoying yourself.

 

The good news is that there is no wrong or right way to use a sex toy if you’re having a great time. Some sex toys are designed for a specific purpose, such as insertion. However, if you enjoy using it another way, such as to stimulate your clitoris, then more power to you! At the end of the day, what is most important is that you’re happy, comfortable, and enjoying yourself.
