Fun and Light Techniques for Whips and Paddles

Spanking and light whips are some of the most popular types of sensation play. It can be done in combination with oral sex with your partner standing or on its own as the primary focus.

* Role play is a great way to begin adding slapping into your games; you can spank your school girl with the wooden Naughty Ruler for being “bad” and gently whip your maid for not cleaning the room just right. Role-playing can let you step outside of your everyday roles and experience more freedom in expressing yourself.
Create the role-play scenario for your night of spanking bliss. Get creative and set up a situation that creates intensity for both partners.

* Picking your pleasure items is part of the fun and anticipation. You can choose from a variety of whips, paddles and crops for your foray into this erotic pleasure. Each provides a different aural and physical sensation. Whips have many tails which can be used to stroke and tap your partner. Our leather Flogerella whips and rubber whips are good for beginner and intermediates. They can create very soft taps or more stingy strokes but the mid-length allows more control. Paddles and crops provide a slappier sound; which can be very arousing, and the length allows you to be up close or further away from your lover. Often it is the sound of the paddle hitting your bottom or thigh that is just as sexy as the sensation.

* Warming up. Start with light touches like feathers and finger nails, slowly running along from the lower back to the back of the thigh area but focusing on the buttocks. Or try applying some edible warming oil and licking the area. Then move up by using a whip, paddle or your hand with gentle taps and flicks over the entire buttock or thigh area. Warming up the area sends happy endorphins to the brain and starts the juices flowing. Mix up your spanking by switching between gentle love taps, massage and harder smacks. Be sure to switch from one cheek or thigh to the next. The body becomes accustomed to any sensation after about twenty minutes so you need to keep changing the sensation to make the pleasure last.

* Get your swing on. When using the whip or flogger you need to first practice your swing. You wouldn’t walk out onto the badminton court without trying your racket for the first time; neither should you try a whip on a partner until you have learnt to control the feel of your whip and floggers.
You can begin creating a steady and rhythmic motion with forehand/backhand action. Adding flicks of your wrist or a slight heavy handedness to change the rhythm or motion of your stroke.
The “towel” stroke is a quick flick of the wrist and snap of your whip. The “windmill” stroke is a counterclockwise or clockwise motion of your wrist that has a quick flick across the bottom. Also the “figure 8” pattern can be created with the use of two whips used simultaneously.
Any and all of these movements can be used in combination with each other and spanking. Changing your rhythm and motion creates a more erotic sensation and you can heighten the sensation by using a blindfold, it will create anticipation and suspense.

* Communication. Find out what your partner is enjoying by asking questions such as ‘harder’, ‘softer’, ‘faster’, ‘slower’…etc. Or vise versa, if you are the person being flogged or spanked. Use this occasion to talk dirty and arouse your partner more. Tell them how you love seeing their butt cheeks turn red or how bad you’ve been to deserve this spanking.

* Positions. The most popular position is over the knee. But you can prop your partner on all fours with their rump in the air or over furniture like a bed, chair, or sex furniture like the Liberator Ramp or Wedge. Experiment with different locations and positions.

* Safety First. There are areas where it is safe for spanking and flogging and other areas that should be avoided. Fleshy areas such as the buttocks, shoulder, calves and thighs are a safe and fun area for whipping and spanking. DO NOT whip the abdomen area below the ribcage, head, neck, spine or behind the knees and ankles. The abdomen especially has vital organs such as the kidneys and a rough hit could cause damage.
Be careful not to wrap the tip of the whip around these sensitive areas during whip play.
Always have a safe word which when uttered stops the play immediately. This is your partner’s way of saying “I have had enough.”

After your playful session, rub down the area with a cooling cream like the Kama Sutra body soufflé in Cool Mint or Soaring Spirit massage oil. Talk about how the experience was for each of you and make a date for the next play session!

Playful Positions for Fuller Figures

Pregnancy is a beautiful time for you and your partner, but sometime the beautiful belly starts to get in the way of your more traditional positions. Here are some fun varieties to try that are comfortable and safe for mommy and baby.

Soft Landing: Stack a pile of soft and fluffy pillows underneath your stomach and chest to cushion and support your body and neck. You will have comfort against the support and he has access to your body from behind. This position allows for adding a little anal play into the equation. The Havana Tush Toy kit can be used with or without vibrations. Using just the tip of the plug for external stimulation of the bum can be a lot of fun. In this position he should avoid pumping too hard or deep.

Wheelbarrow: This position is comfortable and easy. Simply lay curled on your side at the edge of your mattress with your neck and shoulder propped comfortably by a few soft and fluffy pillows. He stands between your butt and knees for easy penetration, and he will enjoy a wonderful view of you. In this position he can easily reach around and stimulate your clitoris with a small and compact Fuzuoku Finger Vibrator. Use the finger sex toy to slowly tease and tantalize!

Belly Up: Bracing yourself up against a headboard or wall allows for a shallower penetration that is pleasurable and fun. It also gives him access to touch your breasts, belly and clitoris softly. We recommend using pillows beneath your knees for comfort and support. Combining this with a couples toy like the Diving Dolphin can triple your pleasure! This toy comes with two bullets-one that vibrates against her clitoris as well as one underneath that stimulates him and her!

As you move along in your pregnancy we recommend visiting your doctor, intercourse should be fine if your pregnancy is progressing normally but if you have any complications be sure to discuss frankly with your doctor what you can and can not do.

Hello to all you voluptuous ladies out there. We’ve created a section just for you, to help you discover some creative and ingenious solutions to some playful positions. Being a plus size lady has many challenges with body image and some positions just don’t work. But instead of worrying about all that we’ve come up with a few fail safe solutions to just enjoy sex, no matter your size.

No Ouch Couch: The couch is perfect for sex furniture. Using the seat cushion to support you upper body and having more pillows supporting your arms and neck as well as cushioning your knees. You will feel cushioned and comfortable allowing him access from behind for deep penetration. This position is great for him to reach around to stimulate your nipples with some Ice Queen Nipple Gel or placing a compact mini vibrator on his finger like the Five Function Finger Vibe to slowly massage your clitoris. This position is also super for pleasuring the nerve rich anal area. Start slowly stimulating the outside with a small well lubricated butt plug like the Silicone Pleasure Plug or insert some small anal beads like the Fun Factory Bendy Beads. The beads are slowly pulled out during an orgasm providing a more intense experience.

Deep Mission: Continuing our couch theme, if you throw the back cushions to the side you will create a deeper couch on which to enjoy yourselves. You can lay back, get comfortable and open you legs wide for a deeper missionary penetration. The intimacy of gazing into each others eyes and giving him access to your breast and clitoris will make this an all around enjoyable position. If you find pillows too soft, a wonderful option would be The Liberator Sex Furniture. These triangular shapes allow you to move into unlimited positions while providing firm support. You won’t be limited by where you can and cannot have sex. The triangle shapes make it easy to slip into narrow spaces when not in use.

Good Headboard: Sometime being on top when you are a voluptuous lady can be awkward and uncomfortable. If you try using the head board as leverage you can lift and support your body with ease and the leverage allows you to speed up the action. This position gives him the added advantage of being able to lay back and have access to your clitoris. A vibrating cock ring like the Utopia Triple Action can be a fabulous addition to this position as it allows you full control of how much stimulation you want on your clitoris. You can tease yourself until you’re ready to orgasm. This couple’s sex toy also has an extra testicle ring for him-intensifying his orgasm.

How to Have Backdoor Fun

Did you take a sharp breath just now? Or perhaps your virgin bum cheeks are clenched together? Take a deep breath and relax for the ride. It needn’t be scary and will enhance your boudoir routine when you follow our steps. After all, the anal area is rich with nerve endings and muscles, making the right touch a pleasure for women and men. For guys, it can put pressure on the prostate, resulting in a mind-blowing orgasm. And for gals, the G-spot can be stimulated indirectly during anal sex. But before you dive in, here are a few important tips.

1.Lube, lube, and more lube
The anus doesn’t lubricate like the vagina. This makes the right lubricant a must-have accessory for backdoor play. A water-based, glycerin-free lube like Slippery Stuff is compatible with latex and silicone, so can be used with condoms. Slippery Stuff is thick, so it forms a protective coat on your delicate behind. A silicone-based lube such as ID Millennium will not dry out, keeping you slick and ready for action, even under water. Make sure you pick the right lube for you.

2. Take your time
Many people are scared off anal play by the delicate nature of the area. Because the rectum’s tissue is quite sensitive, it is possible to tear it. However, the correct type of lube is a big part of keeping your heinie intact, as is taking things slowly. Start with feeling the outside of your own or your partner’s bottom first. You may be surprised at the sensitive spots you find before entry. A tongue or very well lubed finger is a good way to start.

3. Keep it clean
If the whole poop thing gives you the heebie jeebies, the ‘receiver’ can go to the bathroom first and follow up with a shower. Indeed, or the whole enchilada can take place in the shower too. The ‘giver’ may also wear a latex glove with plenty of lube to keep his or her hands pristine. A well-lubed condom goes without saying.

4. Education
Before forging ahead, stimulate the mind with instructional DVDs. A good DVD will use real couples to show watchers positions in detail, so there are no convoluted diagrams to follow. Many show you the physiology of anal stimulation and how to prepare for it, along with debunking the myths about anal. Some also touch on topics like safe sex and anal hygiene. Worthwhile DVDs include The Better Guide to Anal Pleasure and Expert Guide to Anal Sex For a New Generation, both by Tristan Taormino.

5. Play safe with the right toys
Yikes! Imagine the embarrassment of heading to the emergency room because you lost a toy in your bum. Yes, it can happen if you don’t use the correct toys. Anal toys should have a flanged end to prevent this from occurring.

6. Plugs
Butt plugs like the Ashley Tush Toy have a thin neck and flanged base so they can’t completely slip inside. The Ashley has the added bonus of an opening at the base, where a small bullet vibrator can fit inside for a little extra zip.

7. Anal Beads
Centuries of bead enthusiasts can’t be wrong! Beads make the sphincter muscles contract. Beads + muscle contractions = Amazing Orgasms. A nice equation, don’t you think? Modern designs, such as Silicone X-10 Beads, feature seamless graduated anal beads. Gently insert the smallest and work your way up according to your comfort zone. Gently pull them out as you climax to kick it up a notch.

For beginners looking for the complete package, the Tush-tastic Kit is simply bootylicious! It includes everything you’ll need: The Better Sex Guide to Anal Pleasure DVD; Ashley Tush Toy; Power Bullet; Jelly Anal Beads and Slippery Stuff lube.

Finding the G Spot

Pleasuring Women with G-spot Toys
At Honey Gifts, we aim to educate and please – this month that means taking the mystery out of the G-spot. Just because you or your partner haven’t found it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Figuring out how to hit it with toys is an experiment in fun.

First you gotta find it: The G-spot isn’t as elusive as you may think. It’s about two inches inside the vagina, towards your belly and behind the public bone. Insert a couple well-lubed fingers and stroke them towards your palm in a come hither motion. You may feel like you have to pee when the G-spot is stimulated – you won’t urinate, but you may ejaculate. But first…

Turn it on: Don’t immediately dive in once you’ve located it. Make sure you’re ready beforehand with a little foreplay. Getting aroused will make the G-spot swell with fluid, making it more firm, easier to find and ultimately have an internal G-spot orgasm. Use a vibe held to your clit, your fave sexy movie, your imagination, your partner’s tongue, etc. to get in the mood.

Grab a toy: Frankly, continuing the whole come hither thing can bring on a case of carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it. Or you may be cursed with short fingers, leaving your G-spot frustratingly out of reach. A curved toy can be just the trick to reaching it. Personalize your choice. Not everyone is going to be turned on by the same technique. Some options to consider:

• Try a vibrator with a simultaneous clitoral stimulator or use one hand to work your clit while stimulating the G-spot with a vibrator or dildo. Again, external stimulation will make the G-spot swell, making it easier to find and have a G-spot orgasm. The G-Spot Rabbit or Masagi Glass Toy with Bullet attachment are fun possibilities.
  


• The rhythmic pressure of a multi-speed vibe pressed to the G-spot can also do the trick. Today, many vibrators have pulsing and escalating modes, so you can find the best rhythm for you. The Royal Princess is one such toy.



• A twisting or ridged vibrator is the A-one choice for those who enjoy motion. Another option is to experiment with various girths to find the one that suits your taste, from the thin Starlight G-spot to the thick Chubby G.
  


• A glass or stainless steel toy will provide a frictionless and firm touch. An added bonus of glass dildos is they are particularly sensitive to absorbing and maintaining different temperatures for sensations of chill and heat. Try the Glass G with Micro Mini Vibrator for simultaneous internal and external fun. Playing hot and cold takes on a whole new meaning!

How to use sextoys & vibrators, tips for adult women

The following are the top 10 tips for how to use women’s sex toys & vibrators

1. Use condoms with your adult sex toys- Sex toy dildo, vibrator, or whatever -- put a condom on it! Also, don't switch the toy from butt hole to vagina, or from one person's body to another, until you put a new condom on it. Safe and clean sex will keep your happy and healthy! Use Condoms on a Plain Rubber Vibrator - These toys are notoriously hard to keep clean, and they can get dirty and stay dirty from regular use.
   
   
2. If using lubes with your sex toys – avoid yeast infections. Although it is not proven but some women get yeast infections when using water-based lubricants that have glycerin. Try glycerin free water based lubricants, and all silicone based lubricants are also glycerin free. Glycerine-free lubricants are toy and condom compatible: Check out Slippery Stuff or Hathor Aphrodisia (made with horny goat weed for extra enjoyment). Read more on what lubricant to use...
   
   
3. If you get tired and not as excited with your sex toy/vibrator – You can get bored of your usual sex toy and not be as stimulated. Put it away for a while or bring out a new one and rotate them…bring the spice back…mix it up and you won’t get bored!
   
   
4. Sex toy seems to small and doesn’t excite you anymore? Could be because your PC muscles are realxed and not in shape. Well-toned pubococcygeus (PC) muscles (the muscles beneath the pelvic floor that encircle the vagina) are more responsive, resulting in increased sexual sensation and more intense G-spot orgasms. Give yours a workout with Kegel exercises or try Fun Factory’s Smart Balls.
   
   
5. Find your G-Spot –get more out of your sex toys - New to G-spot stimulation? Start with some hands-on exploration on your own. Insert one or two fingers into your vagina and bend them towards the front wall, applying pressure toward the pubic bone until you feel a small, bean-sized, slightly ridged mass of firm tissue. Feel a pleasant sensation? You’ve hit the spot. Looking for sex toys to hit your G-spot? I recommend the Silicone Starlight G-Spot , Fun Factory G-Spot Worm Vibrator or the Crystalessence Chubby G-Spot Vibrator . Read more on surefire ways to hit your G-spot...
   
   
6. Extend your sex toys life- Don't Run It Too Long - with very few exceptions, most vibrators should only be run for 20-30 minutes at a time. Remove the Batteries When Not In Use- Firstly, it prevents you from leaving the vibrator on accidentally, which will burn out the motor. It also reduces the chance of the batteries corroding inside the vibrator, which will usually mean the end of the toy. Read more on the top 5 ways to extend the life of your vibrator ...
   
   
7. Cleaning your sex toys, dildos and vibrators - For most toys you can use Regular soap (anti bacterial hand soap works well) and warm water will clean your toy, as long as you do it every time you play with your toy. We also recommend Safe Suds Toy Cleaner. Read more on how to clean your sex toys, dildos and vibrators...
   
   
8. Hide your sex toys from snoopy cleaning ladies and children – Try a shoe box and leave it under your bed or in the bottom of your closet. Or custom casing - some people have invested in a solution that is similar to a mini treasure chest with a padlock. This solution can be expensive, but if you have very nosy kids and a cleaning lady, this is the perfect solution. Read more on where to hide your sex toys...
   
   
9. Travelling with sex toys? - Traveling with kids or visiting family? Consider sex toys that go incognito, like those that resemble tubes of lipstick, rubber duckies, even pieces of artwork! Flying? Why give inquisitive customs agents something to snicker about? Pack toys in your checked luggage rather than in your carry-on bag. Read more on sex tips for travelling and having a steamy holiday...
   
   
10. Fix your broken vibrators and sex toys – Don’t assume that it has died on you forever…sometimes the spring become flattened and you need to fluff it back up so it reaches the connector of your batteries. So open up your vibrator and gently pull the spring up a little bit. Read more on how to fix your broken vibrators & sex toys...

Tips For Sexy Adult Halloween Parties

For many adults, the sheer joy of dressing up and celebrating October 31 is something they never outgrow. Approximately 85% of adults who celebrate Halloween will dress up for the festivity! This is why Halloween parties are a great thing for ghosts and ghouls both young and old.


Halloween's Origin:
The Celts, 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. They believed that on Oct 31 the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. So they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Druids built huge sacred bonfires, gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes.

Spice up Halloween - 8 GREAT Ideas!
Halloween is not only for kids, and doesn’t have to be so innocently eerie. Halloween can be very sexy and erotic for adults! Dare to be different? Here are some great ideas and tips to make your Halloween party for adults sexy and exciting!

1) Host a Lust Party
Lustful tidbits – think suspenders and black fishnet stockings, 50s and 60s sex sirens; Marilyn Monroe, Jane Fonda, Brigitte Bardot, garters, blonde wigs, beauty spots, stiletto heels, bustiers, corsets, knee high boots and minis, choker collars, red lipstick and nails, ultra-long cigarette holders, black teddies (the one you wear, not the one you cuddle), Play bunny costume ( or black leotard and fur tail and ears will do it).

2) Have Your Own Fetish & Fantasy Party.
Invite your friends & coworkers over to be a Sexy School Girl, S&M Police Woman, Playbunny, or a Dawn of the Dead Pimp. Crank up some techno tunes on the CD player. Rent some old horror movie DVDs and project them on the wall without sound to give the room atmosphere. Get out the satin blindfold and the furry handcuffs for party games. You could play Spin the Vibrator, Blind Man in the Buff, or Pin the Tail on the blow up doll.

3) Have an Erotic Video Scavenger Hunt
Although being in costume isn’t necessary for the scavenger hunt, it certainly adds some extra humor! Scavenger Hunt is a classic…make it more exciting and exciting for the adults. Imagine the fun of teaming up and going around the house and the neighborhood to try to find the elusive "treasures" on your list.

Here’s some suggestions:

1. Divide guests into teams.
2. Give each team their Halloween theme scavenger hunt list and a video camera to record their hunting efforts.
3. Teams must race around town either by car or on foot and try to find all of the items on the list. Teams must use their video camera to record their findings.
4. The first team to return with recorded proof that they found all of the items wins.
5. Wait until all of the teams have returned and have a group viewing of all of the video taped scavenger hunts.

And some task ideas for the erotic scavanger hunt:

• Go to a graveyard and find a specific name on a tombstone.
• Take a video of you in front of a strip joint.
• Go to a grocery store and find some naughty produce (extra points for cucumbers and zucchinis)
• Go to a bar find out how many brands of beer they serve.
• A "large-size" condom (not used please)
• A dead-battery vibrator
• Go to a video rental store and find out what year the movie Halloween was made.
• Well-read erotica book or Magazine
• Some whipped cream
• A tube of lube
• Find a stranger who will let you wrap them up in toilet paper

4) Play "Skeleton in the Closet."
Don’t know how? Easy! Get everyone together and one by one, each goes into the closet. Once in the closet, they have to tell, out loud, a secret sexual fantasy before they get let out again.

5) Move Over Bobbing for Apples!
Let’s spice it up a notch. The Sexy costume contest keeps people coming back year after year, but why not change the contest? Have an Erotic Body Tattoo Contest and then allow your guests to lick it off each other after! Match up in pairs and use your creative side to apply tattoos with a Body Talk Chocolate tatoo Set. Hmmn, what will the winners get? Maybe a vibrating disposable cock ring or some flavored lube pillow packs?

6) If Weather Permits Outdoors, Try "Blood Wrestling".
Who Like mud wrestling, but I fill a kiddy pool with corn syrup and red food coloring. Be sure to offer soap, and a place to hose off privately. Great event if you have a vampire theme.

7) Tell a Scary Erotic Story.
Dim the lights and start telling a scary story to your guests (find a good one in a book or on the Internet, even better if it’s erotic!). When you get to spooky parts, you start speaking in a whisper and then Bam! You pull out and turn on your vibrator, Hitachi wand, or similar sex toy and touch the people near you with it. Of course, they’ll scream and say, "Stop! Don’t!" but you and I know they won’t really mean it.

8) Don’t like partying in a group atmosphere, want something quiet and sexy?
But still want to celebrate Halloween with your favorite costume and goblin? No problem. Just have a Party for Two. Oh, the fun you can have with just an intimate gathering. Put on a Sexy Halloween Costume, light some romantic candles (maybe try body candles and use them for the massage later!) and don't forget to bring out the furry handcuffs. Why not start the night with a romantic Halloween dinner? Serve black bean soup in small hollowed-out pumpkins. Use a pastry bag to top each bowl with a ghost-shaped dollop of sour cream just before serving.

Honey Gifts in Vancouver, BC, has a range of sexy costumes for Halloween or anytime of the year for sexy role-playing.

Sex tips travelling for a steamy holiday

Jetting off for a dream vacation or just sneaking off for a quick weekend getaway? Here are some tips for traveling with toys and suggestions for a steamy holiday…

• Why give inquisitive customs agents something to snicker about? Pack toys in your checked luggage rather than in your carry-on bag.
• Whether you stow toys in your luggage or bring them on board for a little in-flight entertainment, remove the batteries while they’re not in use.
• It’s your personal life – keep it that way with non-staining lubes and massage oils. At best, stained linens are embarrassing. At worst, they’re costly, if you have to replace the B&B's 600-thread-count sheets.
• Traveling with kids or visiting family? Consider sex toys that go incognito, like those that resemble tubes of lipstick, rubber duckies, even pieces of artwork!
• You’re on a deserted, sun-drenched beach. There’s no one around for miles. Before you indulge that sex-on-the-beach fantasy, a quick reality check. Spread out a large towel – a blanket’s even better – to keep intrusive grains of sand out of delicate places.
• Sexperts may advise against underwater penetration, but that doesn’t mean an end to your sex-in-the-sea fantasies. Pleasure your partner orally (make it a game – who can hold their breath the longest?) or tuck a waterproof toy in your beach tote.
• Too hot to sleep? Pop an ice cube in your mouth before, er, you-know-what. Your partner will love this refreshing and surprising treat.

How to Fix Your Broken Vibrators and Sex Toys

Imagine this....you have your mind set on sex and a little horny, no one is home but yourself. You slip into sexy lingerie, grab your toy box from under the bed or the closet and happily fondle your best friend (maybe it's your Rabbit Pearl (the one that was mentioned on Sex and the City), Fun Factory Gigolo or even your Laya Spot Vibrator) and finally you are prepared and climb in between the sheets. Your in the "mood" and mentally ready to reach the big "O" and unexpectantly your vibrator doesn't turn on...what the %&^%#, how disappointing!

I really think that there is no correlation to the amount of attention we give our sex toys and their life span. Also, I have found sometimes that my cheapest toy has outlasted my more expensive toys....not sure what I do differently or why this happens?

There are some ways to bring your inexpensive but much beloved sex vibe back to life. Here are some tips on fixing common problems with battery powered sex toys and vibrators:

1) I know everyone's first reasoning is "awe... the batteries have konked out on me" , but it is not always true... this would be my first reaction and hopefully I have extra ones in my drawer...as nothing kills the mood as to run to the local supermarket to get new ones!

2) Fix the spring - sometimes the spring become flattened and you need to fluff it back up so it reaches the connector of your batteries. So open up your vibrator and gently pull the spring up a little bit.

3) Make sure the connector and spring aren't blocked by anything (ie for some vibrators there will be a piece of paper rolled up in the shaft to muff the noice of your batteries when vibrating) You can take the piece of paper out or even replace it with a stiffer peice of newer paper).

If all else fails, it's definately time to give your old friend a funeral and go shopping for a new one....maybe something different (hmmn maybe my next one will be the Sinnflut Waterproof rechargeable!)

Cleaning your Sex toys, dildos and Vibrators

For most toys you can use Regular soap (anti bacterial hand soap works well) and warm water will clean your toy, as long as you do it every time you play with your toy. We also recommend Safe Suds Toy Cleaner.

Below we have some guidelines to follow, depending on the what kind material your sex toys are.

A good tip for all type of toys is to use condoms at all times for 100% cleanliness. Especially if you swap between the anal and vaginal area or if you share your toys.

Silicone
Silicone sex toys ( Fun Factory G-Spot Worm Vibrator or the Dual Rabbit Vibrator ) are the easiest to clean and the most sterile as they are not porous. You can run silicone dildos through the dishwasher or in boiling water. (Note: don't ever submerge toys in water that are electric or battery powered) You can even bleach your silicone toy in a 10 per cent solution. Make sure you have dried your toys before you put it away.

Jelly & Rubber
Porous toys like jelly ( Slim Jelly Fantasy Vibrator or Jelly Anal Beads ) and rubber (more poruos than jelly) ( like the Clone-a-Willy ) are much harder to sterilize so they should be used with a condom, which I'd prefer to do anyways! Also a good practice is to replace your more porous toys every 6-8 months.

Note: if you have Cyberskin toys, you'll have to clean them, pat them dry and powder them which I find way to messy) and I also heard that some baby powders or talcum powders as talc has been linked to cervical cancer...not good...so an alternate would be to use something more natural like corn starch.

Metal
As with silicone, metal toys (G-Spot Mini Waterproof Vibrator ) is a hardy beast and can be disinfected, boiled and made to face assorted forms of abuse in the name of cleanliness – but always make sure to dry it properly.

Plastic
Plastic Toys (like Velvet Touch Vibrators or the Pleasure Commander Bullet Vibrator ) only need a gentle rub with a cotton wool ball soaked in alcohol is the best cleaning solution for plastic, though rinse your toy afterwards so the alcohol doesn't come into contact with your precious parts.

Leather
Treat your leather toy with all the love and cleanly kindness you'd show a vintage leather jacket. Rub it down regularly but gently with a damp rag.

Where to hide your sex toys

Where to hide your sex toys?

It is a common question that many people have asked themselves when they have brought their new toys home...

Here's a few suggestions:

1. Try it in your nightstand - by far this is the number one choice and the easiest to reach when you are in the mood. If you have any nosy children or a mother-in-law that helps you clean up the house, this may not be the idea spot for you...so read on.
2. Try a shoe box and leave it under your bed or in the bottom of your closet
3. Gift Boxes - I have had some customers purchase a Honey Gift Box set and kept their gift box for their sex toy storage! what a nifty idea!
4. Between the matress is also an option - if you have expensive toys that you are worried will break - make sure you put the toys by the head area so it will be safe with less weight on it....I have had no issues and personally like this hiding spot.
5. Custom Casing - some people have invested in a solution that is similar to a mini treasure chest with a padlock. This solution can be expensive, but if you have very nosy kids and a cleaning lady, this is the perfect solution.
6. Larger Tuberware Containers - this is my second best spot....(my favorite one is under the mattress ) and my back-ups toys(my whole stash) are in my larger tuberware container (It's Opaque- not see through), I have my container under my bed or hidden in my closet.

Top 5 Five Ways to Extend the Life of Your Vibrator

While most battery powered vibrators come with a built in obsolescence, there are a few key things you can do to extend the life of your toy.

1) Don't Run It Too Long
With very few exceptions, most vibrators should only be run for 20-30 minutes at a time. The motors are small and need to cool down. They can overheat easily, and even if you do not it out the first time, the wear on the motor reduces the life span of the toy.

2) Remove the Batteries When Not In Use
This is important for two reasons. Firstly, it prevents you from leaving the vibrator on accidentally, which will burn out the motor. It also reduces the chance of the batteries corroding inside the vibrator, which will usually mean the end of the toy.

3) Use Condoms on a Plain Rubber Vibrator
If your vibrator is not made of silicone and is not hard plastic, it is likely made of an inexpensive, porous form of rubber mix. These toys are notoriously hard to keep clean, and they can get dirty and stay dirty from regular use. Using a condom on these toys will both reduce your chance of reacting to the material and make the material last longer as you won't have to be scrubbing it after each use.

4) Be Gentle
With attachment cords and battery caps it's important to be gentle with your toys. Don't pull on the cords, and never use a cord to retrieve a toy! Make sure not to screw the caps on too tight. If the cap is in two parts (often they are red and black) make sure to only use the dial to adjust the speed, not to open and close the toy.

5) Watch the Seal on Waterproof Toys
More and more vibrators are waterproof these days. This is made possible by a rubber O-ring that fits along the rim of the vibrator. Once the O-ring breaks your toy is no longer waterproof and you either need to keep it out of the water or replace the o-ring.
