Your self-care needs can vary from day to day. You're not always necessarily in the mood for a Lush bubble bath and a charcoal face mask (although I've had my share of long days that called for that exact remedy). Other times, it's much more effective to reach for your best sex toys for a healthy dose of self-pleasure. Seriously — it's cheaper than a day at the spa; it's quick (if you want it to be); you don't have to leave your apartment; clothing is, of course, optional. I don't know about you but this stress-reliever checks all of my boxes, literally.
Just because you're taking matters into your own hands doesn't mean you can't use a little help from your friends. I'm talking about your collection of vibrators, dildos, and massage wands. And if you don't already have a drawer full of these, I'm here to lobby on their behalf.
Sex toys aren't just for couples' play. They can be incredibly useful when it comes to discovering your own body and exploring new kinks without the social awkwardness of having another person around. It's basically the sexual awakening you've been waiting for to make you more confident in bed and more sure about what you want and like. You know that mantra about not being able to love someone else until you love yourself? Well, it's sort of like that.
Before you know it, you'll have no issues walking into a masturbation booth in the middle of New York City, like, "Hey, I know what I'm about and I know what I'm here to do." Or maybe you'll just say this in your head before stepping into the shower with a waterproof vibrator. Either way, you should count your newfound confidence as a sexual victory. Here are five toys guaranteed to get you to the finish line.
Lovehoney Curved Silicone Suction Cup Dildo
Who needs a partner when you can attach this curved dildo to any smooth surface for a hands-free, individualized experience? Before you get in position, insert a bullet vibrator at the base of this dildo for a rockin' good time. You've got this under control.
Pure Enrichment Peak Wand Massager
This powerful but lightweight wand gives you up to two hours of vibration per charge, which is exactly what you need for a girl's night in. Its silky silicone exterior is made to glide smoothly against your skin as you make your way through all seven vibration speeds and then on to medium and high pulsation patterns. I can tell it's going to be a late night.
Eve's Triple Pleasure Rabbit
No partner to hit those tough-to-reach spots? Try a multi-zone stimulator like this one by Adam & Eve that offers clitoral, G-spot, and anal stimulation. This silicone vibrator includes two insertable shafts for double the pleasure. All you need now is three AA batteries and some water-based lube.
Fingo Nubby Finger Vibrator
It's back to basics with this finger vibrator by Adam & Eve. The waterproof design means you can take this with you in the shower, bath, or jacuzzi, and it'll still last for up to 60 minutes. Compact, easy to use, and travel-friendly, this is sure to get you where you need to go.
We-Vibe Wish
This compact vibrator is designed to fit in the palm of your hand so you can cup your vulva perfectly or focus on your most sensitive areas. You can also customize up to 10 vibration patterns for your solo sesh using the We-Connect mobile app, which allows a long-distance partner to get in on the action, too.
Hey, maybe it's true what they say. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. These sex toys are just here to help you get the job done.
