John Rosatti, Choosing Sex Toys and Caring For Them<br><br><br><br><br><p>Intended usage</p><p>Do you intend to use your sex toy by yourself
or with your partner? Choosing a sex toy and using it together with
your partner will foster better intimacy, understanding and openness.
Some sex toys are used only for solo play, while some such as love
swings can only be used with a partner.</p><p>Stimulation preference</p><p>Phallic
sex toys can be designed for penetration or clitoral stimulation. Some
can do both. Women are aroused differently and knowing which erogenous
zones stimulate you more can help in choosing the right sex toys. For
penetrative stimulation, the shaft type vibrators or dildos are a good
choice. For clitoral stimulation, we recommend the most popular rabbit
vibrator range. The rabbit range serves a dual purpose, penetration and
clitoral stimulation. The base of the shaft has a bunny ear shaped soft
like material designed to gently massage the clitoris while the shaft
is inserted in the vagina. Rabbit vibrators are the most popular sex
toys the world over and we highly recommend that you shop around for
one.</p><p>Sound</p><p>Some sex toys like vibrators can be a bit noisy.
You don't want to rouse your neighbors and housemates, do you? For
this, you can consider variable speed vibrators or vibrators that emit
a low level of noise.</p><p>Material or texture</p><p>Sex toys
generally come in porous or non-porous material. Porous materials such
as cyberskin are extremely lifelike. They feel very realistic and are
often molded after the real thing. Non-porous materials such as
plastic, soft PVC, silicone and glass are smooth and come in varying
textures. Either way, they should be used with lots of lubrication.
Porous materials will require a bit more cleaning as bacteria can grow
between the pores. Water and soap will be enough for non-porous
materials.</p><p>Style</p><p>Everybody has a personal preference when
it comes to color, shape, size, studded or smooth and elongated. It's a
matter of preference. Choose from a variety of characteristics
including those that glow in the dark.</p><p>Wet and dry use</p><p>Are
you planning to use your toy in the bath? Many people have discovered
how much fun they can have in the bath. Waterproof toys such as the
rubber duck or waterproof dildos make good companions.</p><p>Portability</p><p>Do
you want to take your vibrator on the road with you or are you planning
on keeping it at home? There are small battery powered vibrators such
as the Pocket Rocket which can fit into the palm of your hand.</p><p>Cleaning and caring for your Sex Toys</p><p>Since
sex toys are used on the most sensitive parts of your body, it makes
sense to keep it well cleaned and cared for. With a few simple steps,
you can prolong the life of your toy.</p><p>Lubricants</p><p>Water- and
silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with sex toys. Avoid using
oil- or petroleum-based lubricants as they break down latex material.
Vaseline or olive oil are for external use only and are great for
massaging. Never use oil-based lubricants for any penetration as they
can cause infections if not properly cleaned.</p><p>Cleaning</p><p>Non-porous
materials are smooth and warm water and soap usually does the trick. If
needed, silicone sex toys can be sterilized by boiling it for 3 to 5
minutes. Porous materials such as cyberskin and rubber require a bit
more care as bacteria can hide within the pores. Avoid using soap on
cyberskin to maintain the texture. Instead, rinse with lots of warm
water or sterilize with alcohol. It is best air-dried and sprinkled
with cornstarch or talcum to maintain the smooth surface. To keep all
your toys clean and ready to use, you can also pickup a care &
cleaning kit.</p><p>Condoms</p><p>Condoms can be placed over sex toys
so it can be safely shared with multiple partners. They also make
cleaning that much easier. Rubber dildos are porous materials which
must be sterilized if shared with multiple partners. Otherwise, use a
condom over rubber dildos.</p><p>Storing</p><p>Try to store sex toys
within reach of the bed. Nothing is more frustrating than interrupting
foreplay and having to walk across the room to dig out the toy from a
secret hidden spot. With that being said, sex toys should be stored in
protective casing or wrapped in a piece of cloth, away from prying
eyes. There are several novelty items available such as the Hide Your
Vibe pillow to discreetly store your sex toys.</p><p>Steven consults and provides advice to the online store <a target="_new" href="http://www.sextoysnirvana.com/">http://www.SexToysNirvana.com</a> which provides various adult toys and novelty products.
