Masturbation May

We all know masturbation is good for releasing oxytocin and serotonin - all the good brain chemicals we like - and help to improve sleep quality too. It’s also the best way of finding out what we like, because let’s be honest it can be daunting! You may have only ever used your hand, in your bed, in the darkness of the night; or you might be a fan of the Doxy Wand just before having to jump on a zoom call!
 
Don’t be afraid to try new things and experiment with new toys, your mind and body can be explored.
Like Bilbo Baggins once said… ‘‘I’m going on an adventure!’’
 
 
Here’s our hit list of toys for self-pleasure:
 
Wands – the powerhouse of vibes!
 
‘With great power comes great responsibility’ and the 'Doxy Die Cast 3 Wand' is where it’s at. Not to sound like Jeremy Clarkson on ‘Top Gear’ circa 2004 but… this is power in your hand!
She starts off at an earth shattering 3,000RPM and has the potential to go all the way to a whopping 9,000RPM!
To put that into context, your car in 4th gear (going at 25MPH) is at 3,000RPM; 9,000RPM is the equivalent of a Porsche 718 Caymen GT4 RS topping out in 7th gear and doing about 200MPH – yes, we spent a lot of time researching that one! If you can withstand this then we salute you!
Want to try something a little less intimidating? Then the 'Hype Wand' would be a great starting point!
 
 
Dual or Rabbit?
 
Meet 'Hype Dual', a rabbit style vibrator! This means that there is stimulation internally and externally. With that combination Hype can deliver some pretty mind-blowing orgasms. If you’re like us and want it all at the same time, then this might be the one for you…
Internally, the Hype Dual sits against the g-spot perfectly and externally vibrates against the clitoris - giving the user that perfect pairing *chefs kiss*
 
Sex in the city made the rabbit famous all the way back in 1998. They had to stage an intervention for Charlotte when she made the life changing discovery of the rabbit style vibrator, and even 26 years later we’re still singing it’s praises! This does live up to its name and is definitely worth the Hype! 
 
 
Next up is air toys!
 
They have been around a while, but they truly started making waves around 2020 (during that blip where the world closed down!) We cannot deny that air toys are revolutionary to the sex toy industry; using sonic waves to deliver high-end pleasure.
Centre stage goes to the 'Satisfyer Pro 2', which focuses on clitoral stimulation with minimal contact meaning it can be used for longer periods of time (perfect for edging) leading up to a more intense orgasm. They are perfect for anyone with a vulvar who enjoys oral sex or intense stimulation.
The Pro 2 is famous for a reason – all you have to do is read some reviews and you will get the gist! And what makes it even better? The quick recharge! No longer are we half through a session and the blasted toy gives up the ghost.
 
Our second showcase is the 'LELO Sila'. This amazing creation is a truly lux experience with a softer and deeper opening, having been designed with differing bodies in mind. The Sila offers an experience like the Sona 2; though this toy may be more suited to those who found the Sona too snug or for those taking testosterone and have experienced growth.
Useful for a gentle discovery as waves surge from the tip of the clitoris - if you love oral, you'll love this!
 
 For those of us who have a penis - masturbation sleeves are not to be sniffed at.
 
While some people proudly swap tips and experiences about toys, some (typically cis het men) rarely shout from the roof tops about the toys they use to get off. Who knows why? But this stuff feels too good not to shout about it!
The 'Satisfyer Penis Masturbator' is the tool you never thought you needed – that hand-job just got an upgrade. The perfect mixture of vibrations and optional heat, gives the user a level of stimulation that they’ve never experienced before.
 
The 'TENGA Egg' - a staple in the penis masturbator world!
This pocket friendly egg is breaking down stereotypes. Made to stretch over all shapes and sizes, the internal textured wall is a pleasurable treat. Add in some silky lube to heighten all those senses.
 
 
Onto the old fav… cock rings!
 
They aren’t to be overlooked as toy to only be used with a partner(s) because using them during solo play can be just as fun!! Cock rings can help keep the penis harder for longer, possibly making orgasms last longer for some. An orgasm from penis play usually averages 6 seconds, and some people have said they can achieve a 45 second orgasm whilst using a cock ring. They’re great fun, but please remember to only wear one for 30mins at a time.
 
 
Anal – you either love it or haven’t tried it yet!
 
Anal play isn’t for everyone but hear us out. The A-spot or P-spot has a whole host of nerve endings that should not be overlooked… They are there to be explored and enjoyed. By exploring with anal beads, a slim vibrating dildo or butt plug can catapult you to orgasm. Start small, work up and use plenty of lube. Stay within your comforts and if ii gets uncomfortable then stop!
We can't stop talking about the 'Gem' butt plugs - with a range of sizes they are perfect for those who may be new anal play, but still fun for the seasoned pros out there!
 
Last but by no means least please make way for the humble dildo *applause*

Our favourite for solo play with a strong suction base is 'Holland'. She’ll go anywhere with you and stick to just about any hard surface; meaning you can back on up and enjoy this perfectly proportioned dildo. Be it on a mirror or in the shower this is a perfect toy for those who like penetration. Anatomically designed with a hint of fantasy, Holland can do no wrong!
Dildos come in all shapes and sizes (just like us!) and can be used for all different kinds of pleasure… just like us!
 
 
Take your cue from us and go ahead and explore. We don’t know who ‘they’ are, but they say practice makes perfect and it’s the same with solo play. Different strokes for different folks but everything’s better with lube! So, lube up and get going…
