Buying a sex toy can feel intimidating, especially if it is your first time. Many people worry about what others might think, whether it says something “weird” about them, or if it means something negative about their sex life. These insecurities are completely normal, and they are also rooted in decades of shame and stigma around sexual wellness. The truth is there is nothing embarrassing about exploring your body and identifying what pleasures you and how. In fact, it is one of the most personal and empowering things you can do so that your sexual experiences are satisfying to you and your partner. This allows you to communicate with your partner what you desire and how.

Sex toys and sexual enhancers are tools for discovery, healing, play, and intimacy. Whether you are in a relationship or solo, using a toy is a personal decision and does not need to be shared for other to judge what they know nothing about…and that is your sexual desires. Being curious and taking charge of your body is self-care. It is a gift we should give ourselves if we are sexually active. In fact, some women are not able to experience an orgasm with their partner because they are not sure how they need to be pleasured in order to enjoy the climax of a sexual experience. Toys can help women discover the complex nature of their anatomy and how is needs to be pleasured for them individually.
