Sex toys are designed to enhance the sexual experience and give users more pleasure. While sex toys were once considered taboo, this stigma is slowly disappearing. It’s now widely acknowledged that sex toys are not here to replace anyone but to offer more options and ways to achieve orgasms. Female sex toys are becoming increasingly popular, as they can help bridge the orgasm gap between women and men. Masturbation and orgasm have numerous benefits for women, from lowering stress levels to easing menstrual cramps and improving overall happiness.
The Importance of Female Sex Toys
The stigma around female sex toys is gradually fading away. They are now known to be important tools that can help women achieve more orgasms and pleasure. Female sex toys offer a wide range of benefits, including reducing stress levels, easing menstrual cramps, and increasing happiness. Masturbation and orgasm are essential to maintaining a healthy sex life and overall well-being.
Types of Female Sex Toys
There is a sex toy for every part of the body you want to stimulate. Choosing your first sex toy can be difficult because there are so many different styles available. However, it all comes down to which part of the body you want to target. Female sex toys are not limited to the vagina and the clitoris; there are various toys to choose from.
Dildo
A dildo is a popular sex toy for women, mainly because it is so versatile. Dildos are non-vibrating toys used for penetration and internal massage. They can have an anatomical design that looks like an actual penis, or they can be non-anatomical and come in different shapes and sizes. Some dildos have a curved shape that makes it easier to stimulate the G-spot. Other dildos have ridges or bumps for added stimulation.
Vibrator
Vibrators are the most popular type of sex toy. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be used to stimulate any part of the body. Vibrators can be used externally to stimulate the clitoris, or internally to stimulate the G-spot. Some vibrators have a combination of both. They can be battery-operated or rechargeable, and some are even waterproof for use in the shower or bath.
Bullet vibrator
A bullet vibrator is a small, powerful vibrator that can be used to stimulate the clitoris or any other sensitive area of the body. They are discreet and easy to use, making them a popular choice for beginners. Bullet vibrators can be used alone or with a partner during foreplay.
Butt plug
A butt plug is a sex toy that is inserted into the anus for added stimulation. They come in different sizes and shapes, and some have a flared base to prevent them from getting stuck. Butt plugs can be used alone or with a partner during anal sex.
Ben Wa balls
Ben Wa balls, also known as Kegel balls, are small, weighted balls that are inserted into the vagina. They are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and can enhance sexual pleasure. Ben Wa balls can be used during exercise or during sex.
Clitoral stimulator
A clitoral stimulator is a sex toy that is designed to stimulate the clitoris. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be used alone or with a partner. Clitoral stimulators can be used during foreplay or during sex.
The benefits of using sex toys for women
1. Maintain vaginal health
Regular use of sex toys by women will help to keep the vagina healthy. This is because, when aroused, the lining of the vagina produces a discharge, which helps to hydrate the area. “This helps increase vaginal elasticity, which is one of the ways our vagina stays healthy,” says Annabelle.
2. Helps relieve menstrual pain
“Many women report that regular orgasms help relieve period pain and cramping,” says Knight. And using sex toys can be a great way to help with this. That’s because areas of the brain involved in pain relief are highly activated during arousal and endorphins are released, which can ease the nerve impulses that cause migraines or joint pain.
3. Help heart health
Michigan State University research has found that beneficial sexual relationships are good for a woman’s cardiovascular health. But it’s not just partner sex that’s good for your heart; using sex toys to have an orgasm is good for your heart, too. These endorphins don’t just make you feel good – they also help prevent heart problems by naturally neutralizing your stress hormones. Israeli studies have found that women who have two orgasms a week are 30 percent less likely to develop heart disease.
4. Better bladder control
Just like doing Kegel exercises or using Kegel balls to strengthen your pelvic floor, sex toys can also improve bladder control. When you orgasm, your vagina contracts-think of it as a mini workout for the whole area,” Knight says. “Orgasm also works your pelvic floor muscles, which means better bladder control. A strong pelvic floor also leads to stronger, more intense orgasms.”
