Sex toys are a great way to spice up your sex life. However, you don’t need to buy expensive toys every time you want to get frisky. There are everyday items that already exist within your home to help you get a more exciting sex life. Switching up to using domestic items can help reduce any ruts that come from using the same sex toys every night. But not every domestic appliance is equally sexy. Some are unsafe and can even lead to serious injury or illness. Below is a list of household equipment that you can safely use to improve your sex life.
4 Benefits Of Using Sex Toys In A Relationship
1. Ice cubes
These are a great way to increase sensation during foreplay. Dragging them across your partner’s skin can enhance the act. This is because it creates a contrast because the body runs warm. Using the ice cubes on sensitive areas, such as the lips, nipples, armpits or the back of the knees can be a great way to play in bed.
2. Bandana
This also applies to ties, scarves, and other fabrics. Ensure that you avoid fabrics with slinky fabrics, such as silk or satin. These can tie too tightly and cut off circulation when they’re knotted. Cottony materials are safe for tying up. When you use them as a blindfold, tie them to the side of the head so that the knot doesn’t bother your partner.
3. Mouthwash
Have you showered with a body wash that has mint in it? The sensations on your skin are cool and tingly. Try using mouthwash shortly before performing oral sex on your partner. You can also suck on a mint or take cool mint tea. If your partner enjoys that type of stimulation, it can elevate the sex. Using minty products as a sex toy can be fun but don’t insert mint passed products into your partner.
4. Spatula
This is a great kitchen utensil that is great for spanking and mild pain play. Using a meat tenderiser can also be an alternative to a Wartenberg wheel. Ensure to disinfect it thoroughly if you plan to return it to kitchen use. Use one that has a silicone base and a stainless-steel handle.
5. Mirror
Unleash your inner exhibitionist. If you feel too shy, you can start foreplay in front of a mirror. Watch your partner’s expression as you stimulate and arouse them. Just like how sensory deprivation can enhance arousal, so can overexposure. Showing your partner how attractive they look during foreplay can make sex more intense. You can also try taking home videos and watching yourselves as after-play.
Exciting Ways To Use Sex Toys With A Partner
6. Paperclips
Say you’re too shy to walk into a sex toy shop or don’t want to ship sex toys. You can use paper clips as nipple clamps. Clip them onto your or your partner’s nipples beforehand to see if they’re too tight. You don’t want to cut off circulation. Another homemade alternative to nipple clamps is wooden pegs.
7. Masking tape
There is specially made tape that adults use for bondage play. It only sticks to the skin, avoiding hair and furniture. Don’t use normal duct tape for play. But if you want to start small with a homemade sex toy, you can try masking tape. It’s easy to break and doesn’t snag on skin or fabric. However, it’s important to invest in bondage tape if you want to explore bondage more.
8. Rubber band
You can cut rubber bands to make strips tied together with string. Attach the ends of the tied strips to a pen to create a homemade flogger. You can also use rubber bands to flick your partner’s skin for a quick intense jolt of sensation. Always test it first to make sure it’s something you find enjoyable.
9. Removable shower head
The water pressure from this can work as a homemade sex toy. A removable shower head with a moveable arm can help direct water flow where it’s needed. If you’re doing it in a bathtub, lie down with your legs on the sides of the tub. Position your pelvis under the tap or under the shower head and let the water run over your vulva and clitoris.
How To Have Safe And Sexy Shower Sex
10. Candles
Candles are a great way to intensify sex. The sudden burning sensation can increase arousal. You have to make sure you use massage or sex play candles. Do NOT use beeswax candles as these will burn you.
Vaginal Tears, Allergies, Cramps And Other Sex Injuries To Avoid
11. Whisk
Use a flywhisk made with fur. You can also use a new feather duster. Tease your partner with it on their back or the inside of their thighs. The lighter the strokes the higher the sensation.
