How To Choose Your First Anal Toy
Anal play can add variety to your sexual repertoire, not to mention awesome pleasure and enhanced orgasms. Do you know what especially rocks about anal play? Anyone can enjoy it! The anal opening is full of sensitive nerve endings that just love to be stimulated. Inside the butt, there is even more fun to be had. Many folks with vaginas experience anal pleasure because the clitoral legs extend to the anus. Most folks with penises are blessed with a prostate gland, which can facilitate intense orgasms when stimulated.
G-Spot Toys: Unlocking Internal Pleasure
Despite furious back-and-forth debates in the media, we know that the G-spot is not the elusive and impossible thing it is made out to be. Nor is it something that only a few lucky folks have. Everyone with clitoral complex has a G-spot, it’s just that finding your G-spot requires you to get acquainted with your body. Everyone has their particular ways of stimulating it.
How To Choose A Rabbit Or Dual Vibe
When rabbit vibes first hit the scene, they all followed a familiar formula: long shaft, rotating beads, and, per their name, an animal-shaped clitoral stimulator. Now, though, increasingly creative manufacturers have taken the general idea of the rabbit and revolutionized it, creating new shapes and new sensations. The result is a greater selection of dual vibes than ever before!
How To Choose A Harness
If you don’t own a harness, it’s a great thing to add to your sexual arsenal. People of all genders and orientations can wear them, and people of all genders and orientations can enjoy the pleasures of being penetrated by a partner wearing one. Harnesses open up a whole world of possibilities, too, giving you the tools to explore activities like pegging, double penetration, penetration independent of an erection, safer sex, and experimentation with different sizes, shapes, and textures of dildo.
Getting The Ultimate Bulge: Packers 101
Packers are prosthetics designed to create the appearance of a bulge in the front of one’s pants, helping individuals feel more aligned with their gender identity. Packers are soft, flexible prosthetics typically made from medical-grade silicone or other body-safe materials such as thermoplastic rubber (TPR), foam, or even cloth. Some packers are made from porous materials or materials with phthalates (endocrine disruptors that can adversely affect hormones). We’ll review how to ensure you’re getting a body-safe packer that fits your needs in a little bit.
The Perfect Flat Chest: Binders 101
Chest binders are compression garments that minimize the appearance of breast tissue, helping people achieve a flatter chest. They come in various styles, including full-tank binders, half-binders, and adjustable options. While chest binding can help alleviate gender-dysphoria, there are certain risks associated with binding. Luckily, there are methods of concealing chest tissue that are less intrusive and can be safe for everyone.
Your First Vibrator - Finding the Perfect Toy
So you want to buy your first vibrator — or replace a crappy old one. It seems like a daunting task, we know! There are a ton of options out there. But it’s not as difficult as it seems. We will walk you through some considerations to make the experience fun and stress-free. When choosing your first vibrator, a lot depends on which part of your body you want to stimulate…
Lube 101: Slippery When Wet
Slick, wet, and wonderful — lubricant is a sexual accessory that should always be kept close at hand. Lube makes all sex acts frictionless and more fun and is absolutely essential for anal sex (the butt is not self-lubricating!). However, due to the variety of lubes available today, choosing one can sometimes be daunting. Remember, finding the perfect lube for you is a personal thing.
The Ultimate Guide to Masturbation Sleeves
Most masturbation sleeves are built on a simple premise: to enhance the stimulation that one gets from their hand. Many, though, go above and beyond that duty, adding unique textures, supple materials, and stimulating suction to the equation. However, don’t let the term “masturbation sleeve” restrict you — like any sex toy, sleeves can be enjoyed solo or with a partner.
The Ultimate Guide To Kegel Exercises
Of all the muscles that comprise the pelvic floor, the pubococcygeus muscles are probably the most famous. The pubococcygeus muscles (more well-known as the PC muscles) run from the pubic bone to the tailbone and form a sort of figure eight around the genitals. All people have PC muscles, and these muscles are instrumental in sexual response — in fact, they involuntarily contract during orgasm and help to propel ejaculate.
How To Use A Cock Ring
Cock rings, also called penis rings (or as we affectionately call them, “C rings”), are glorious little devices meant to encircle and bind the penis and testicles. They gently restrict blood flow out of the penis, which can make the penis temporarily firmer and more sensitive. This may prolong an erection, and some wearers find that it intensifies their orgasms. But mainly, cock rings provide sensations of tightness and pressure that many folks enjoy. Plus, they just look sexy.
Guide To Glass Toys
If you’ve been to She Bop, you’ve seen the lovely glass sex toys on our shelves and in our cases. They’re always shining and reflecting the light, naturally drawing the eye to them. But glass dildos and butt plugs are more than just beautifully-shaped hunks of glass — they are incredibly stimulating pleasure objects.
Guide To Silicone Toys
The majority of sex toys we carry are made of pure silicone, so it’s no surprise we have a special place in our hearts for it. It’s an extremely versatile material, and because it can be soft, silicone is ideal for anal beads, double-ended dildos, packers, and any time a more yielding material is desired. Gotta love that!
Guide to Stainless Steel Toys
While most of the toys we carry at She Bop are made from silicone and ABS plastic, there are a number of other body-safe materials we have in the shop that pique the interest of our customers. One of those eye-catching materials is stainless steel — an ultra-shiny, non-porous, and beautiful metal that has many benefits. In fact, stainless steel has a bit of a cult following among sex toy connoisseurs, in large part because of these advantages.
What Are Phthalates?
Besides having a perplexing name (pronounced “thal-ates”), phthalates are a family of chemicals used to soften hard plastics. In the realm of sex toys, they are often the reason that cheap sex toys are squishy, smelly, and… potentially toxic. Although we may not know it, phthalates are not foreign to us. They are present in a variety of everyday stuff: paints, deodorants, shower curtains, nail polish, vinyl floors, and even food (most likely because they can leach out of food processing machinery and food packaging). However, troubling research on phthalates has cast doubt on whether phthalates are as innocuous as they once seemed.
