What Can I Use?
There are many ways you can masturbate, from sex toys to using your own hands
It's true. Vagina-owners are having less orgasms than people with penises. The things you use to masturbate don't replace a person. They just mean vagina-owners can have more and better orgasms. That can only be a good thing, right?
The Orgasm Gap is Real!
Dildo
Dildos are non-vibrating sex toys that are used for vaginal penetration and internal massage. They come all different shapes, with some curved to directly stimulate the G-Spot. A dildo can be made to look like a real penis or not at all.
Massage Wand Vibrator
If you've watched porn, you've most likely seen this vibrator. It's designed to curve around the body so not only can it stimulate your clitoris and vulva, but it can also add to foreplay by massaging other parts of your body as well.
Bullet Vibrators
The bullet vibrator is a very good option if you're buying your first sex toy or are looking for something to stimulate very specific areas of your body, like the clitoris or nipples. They often come with different settings, allowing you to experiment with more intense vibrations.
Dual Massaging Vibrators
These are commonly known as 'rabbit style' vibrators work both internally and externally. The longer end is inserted into your vagina while the shorter end rests on your clitoris or vulva. You can adjust the intensity of vibrations, although some people find the dual sensation is too intense.
Internal Vibrators
These vibrators were designed to stimulate your G-Spot. They are long and have a curved end that only vibrates at the tip. When using one, you should try to angle this tip up towards your belly button for maximum stimulation.
Clitoral Massagers
Clitoral massagers work by solely stimulating the clitoris- which is handy considering 75% women need this to orgasm! They mimic oral sex by pulsating and using suction around the clitoris. It can take some experimentation to make the clitoral massager work for you. Some people only need to hover the toy over their clit to get the desired effect
Butt Plugs
Sex toys don't have to just be used to stimulate the vulva and vagina. Butt plugs insert into the anus and can enhance pleasure when masturbating because they place more pressure on the vaginal wall. The anus is also an erogenous zone and butt plugs are another way to stimulate this area
Hands
If you don't have the money for a sex toy or it's just not your thing, don't worry! Your fingers will do the trick just fine! You can try massaging your clitoris in circular and side-to-side motions, or insert them inside your vagina to massage your G-spot. The possibilities are endless and the best part is, you're fully in control of the pace and sensation
Pillow
This method works with anything you can grind on. If friction is what gets you going, try straddling a pillow and rocking back and forth. It's another way of masturbating without having to buy or use sex toys
There is no right way to masturbate! Whatever works for you is valid, and these are just some things to try if you don't know where to start or fancy some experimenting.
It's also good to remember that using lube can make the experience more pleasurable, and remember to pee afterwards to avoid any Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
