How To Use Sex Toys - A Beginner's Guide

Not sure how to use sex toys? This is a great place to learn. Sex toys are an exciting way to explore the pleasure of your own or someone else's body. With a wide variety of toys available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Don't be afraid to experiment and find out what works best for you. You can start by trying out different types of stimulation. Vibrators, dildos, and butt plugs are all great options to explore, and you can also try different types of lube to enhance sensation.

If you’re experimenting with sex toys alone, you can start by exploring your body and getting to know what types of sensations feel good. Touch your body, take your time and find what you like. When you’re ready to use a toy, start slow and gradually increase the intensity. Pay attention to your body and when you find something that feels good, stick with it.

If you’re experimenting with sex toys with a partner, make sure to communicate your desires and boundaries. Talk about what you both feel comfortable with, and discuss any potential safety concerns. Once you’ve established a baseline, you can start exploring together. Make sure to listen to each other’s feedback and adjust your approach accordingly.

No matter what type of sex toy you use, remember that it’s all about discovering what feels good for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find out what works best. Like Goldilocks, you have to keep trying until you find the perfect toy for you. Enjoy the journey!


Today, we’re going to talk about how to use vibrators, butt plugs, masturbation sleeves, cock rings, and dildos.


How to Use Vibrators

Vibrators are a great tool for solo play as well as for couples. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to explore different kinds of pleasure. To use a vibrator, simply turn it on and place it against your skin. You can move it around to explore different sensations. For extra stimulation, you can use a water-based lubricant. They can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can be designed for external massage or internal vibrations. You can also find options that are designed for grinding on (nope, that’s not weird at all, we have a whole article about it). 


How to Use Air Pressure Toys

Air pressure toys, sometimes called suction toys, are some of the most popular styles out there. They have a nozzle opening that hovers over the clitoris and uses air pressure to tap or pulse. Unlike a vibrator, you don’t need to apply much, if any, pressure in order to experience a really strong sensation. Think of it like the pulsing of a strong bass speaker. 


How To Use Butt Plugs

Butt plugs come in a variety of sizes, so it’s important to start with a smaller size (shop small plugs here) and work your way up if desired. To use a butt plug, you’ll need to apply a generous amount of lubricant to the plug and your anus. Then, slowly insert the plug, making sure to stop if you experience any discomfort. Once inserted, you can move the plug around to explore different sensations. For people with a prostate, choosing a plug that has a slight curve to it can help you locate the p-spot which can offer potentially amazing new sensations. 

 

How To Use Masturbation Sleeves

Masturbation sleeves are a great tool for solo play. These are usually made of silicone or a soft material called TPE and are designed to simulate the feeling of a partner’s touch. To use a masturbation sleeve, simply apply a generous amount of lube and then insert your penis into the sleeve. You can then move the sleeve around to explore different sensations. You can find them with a variety of different textures inside and even ones that are open-ended to use with a partner. For anyone who has taken testosterone and experienced some growth, there are also smaller sleeves designed especially for you! 

 

How to Use a Cock Ring

Cock rings are typically made of stretchy silicone and are designed to provide extra stimulation to the penis. To use a cock ring, simply apply a generous amount of lube and then wrap the ring around the base of your penis. It can help to slow release and prolong play and enjoyment. Be sure to only wear one for a max of 30 minutes. 

 

How To Use Dildos

Finally, dildos are another super popular sex toy to add to your collection. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used to explore different kinds of pleasure. Use lube and start with something nice and small (like these), usually around 1-1.25”. We actually designed the Nox Dawn to be the perfect beginner dildo, in size, texture and price. If your dildo has a suction base, you can attach it to the wall, the shower stall, a full length mirror or the seat of a chair. If you’d like to try riding it, you can pop it into this harness designed for thighs, that works equally well wrapped around a pillow. Have fun exploring. 


So, there you have it! Now you know how to use vibrators, butt plugs, masturbation sleeves, cock rings, and dildos. So why not give them a try and explore all of the different kinds of pleasure that they can provide?
