Sex toys are empowering… and can improve intimacy exponentially. For starters, toys offer entirely new ways to learn exactly what you like, as well as close the orgasm gap with your partner. In fact, 49% percent of couples who use vibrators report communicating often, whether it be about sex or other subjects. In contrast, of those who don’t use vibrators, only 29% could report the same level of openness and communication.
And the beauty of toys is, each shape and size serves an entirely different purpose…
Here is a sneak peak at three toys and what you can do with them.
1. The ‘rabbit-style’ vibe
A rabbit vibrator is a combination of an external vibrator and a G-spot toy. Rabbit-style vibrators have an external piece that provides vibration to the clitoris, while a second deeper attachment can go inside for G-spot stimulation. What makes this toy perfect is its versatility. It’s designed to provide maximum pleasure and blended orgasms, but can also be used one way or the other.
The SKYN Vibes Personal Pleasure Vibrating Massager is a great rabbit-style option. This vibe has multiple settings and is perfect for solo-quarantine-play, to safely explore what you like… and then together with a partner.
“The day I taught my boyfriend how I like to use my vibrator was definitely a turning point in our relationship”
Liana, 32
You can put on an incredibly sexy show by masturbating with the vibe in front of your partner, while describing what you’re doing. You can also try placing the vibrator in your partner’s hand and then guiding them with yours.
2. The male masturbator
Male masturbators or ‘strokers’ often feature a soft, tube-like space to masturbate into. With all of them pretty much mimicking the feeling of oral/vaginal/anal sex.
The best toys are designed to blend in. The SKYN Stroke Male Self-Pleasure Egg, checks all of these boxes. The egg design is super discrete and can come in handy anytime. It truly couldn’t look less suspicious.
- Material: Latex is the most common material for condoms, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best. Some people have allergies to latex, so non-latex options such as polyisoprene or polyurethane are available. SKYN’s condoms are made with SKYNFEEL®, a polyisoprene-based material that is softer and more natural-feeling than latex condoms. If you haven’t tried it already, we’d recommend you give it a go!
- Size: Condoms come in different sizes, so it is important to choose one that fits you well to ensure maximum safety and comfort. After all you don’t want one that’s so big it slips off, or so snug it’s unpleasant. The easiest way to calculate the girth of your penis is to wrap a measuring tape around the thickest part of your erect penis. You can use this measurement to decide what size condom you need. The length is less important as a condom that is too long can be rolled down at the base and a condom that is a bit short still offers good protection.
- Texture: Some condoms come with added textures or ribs to enhance pleasure, while others are smooth. This is a topic that’s best discussed with your partner as they might have their own ideas about what they would like to try. If you’re not sure it might be a good idea to get a variety pack and sample the different sensations – There’s something for everyone!
- Lubrication: Some condoms come with added lubricant, while others do not. You can also choose to use a separate water-based or silicone-based lubricant if desired, but make sure it’s compatible with whatever condom you’re using. All SKYN condoms have lubricant added for extra comfort, but there are some with extra lube and several different lubricants you can add yourself.
- Flavors and sensations: Condoms also come with all sorts of flavors and sensations. From Daiquiri flavored condoms to those with warming or cooling gels, there are plenty of options out there!
3. Bullet vibes
The beauty of bullet massagers is that they resemble slim tubes of lipstick and are discrete enough that you can bring them and use them anywhere. They’re perhaps the easiest and smallest type of vibrator you can use, and feature one easy on/off switch.
