SEX TOYS 101
SEX TOY USAGE
How do I clean and maintain my sex toys?
Use warm water and a gentle, unscented soap or a toy cleaner before and after every use. Dry with a lint-free towel and store it in a clean pouch or box. Think of it as skincare for your toys- clean, moisturized (with the right lube), and ready for playtime.
Are sex toys safe to use with a partner?
Totally! Just make sure you’re cleaning between uses and, if sharing, use condoms on the toy for extra safety. Communication + hygiene = A+ partner play.
Which lubricants are best to use with sex toys?
If your toy is silicone, stick to water-based lubes. They’re safe and won’t degrade your toy. For glass or metal toys, any lube (silicone, hybrid, oil) is fair game. Bonus: water-based lubes are easy to wash off and body-safe for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin.
How often should you use sex toys?
As often as it feels good! There’s no “too much,” just listen to your body. Whether it’s once a week or once a day, pleasure should fit your rhythm, not a rulebook. However, each sex toy servers a unique pleasure purpose. You should review the instructions before begging playtime to ensure you are using your chosen toy properly.
How do sex toys enhance personal pleasure?
They help you explore sensations and learn what makes you tick. Toys can amplify arousal, boost orgasm intensity, and even help improve sexual confidence and communication with partners. Some sex toys are even designed to help with minor pain relief by releasing “feel-good” hormones, through muscle relaxation, increased blood flow, and stress relief.
TYPES + MATERIALS
What’s the difference between silicone, glass, and metal toys?
Silicone is soft and flexible, glass is firm and temperature-play friendly, and metal gives strong, weighty pressure. All three can be body-safe. It’s all about the kind of vibe (literally) you’re into.
Are cheaper sex toys unsafe?
Not always, but price can reflect material quality. Look for phrases like “medical-grade silicone” or “phthalate-free.” Another key is to purchase from reputable sellers like Romeo Romeo. We take pride in sourcing quality products that are body safe.
Are vibrating toys better than non-vibrating ones?
Different strokes for different folks. Vibrators give instant stimulation and variety, while non-vibrating toys let you stay in full control of the pace and pressure. Sometimes, mixing both is the real magic, but it depends entirely on your vibe (literally).
What toy is best for beginners?
Start small- literally. Slim vibrators, mini wands, or small plugs are great intros. Go for simple controls and smooth textures while you learn what you like. The key is to give your body time to adjust to new sensations.
Are sex toys gendered?
Not really. Toys are designed for anatomy, not identity. If it feels good, it’s yours to enjoy, no labels needed.
SAFETY + HYGIENE
Can I share my toys with someone else?
Yes, but safely! Use a condom over the toy or sanitize between partners. Avoid sharing porous materials (like jelly rubber) since they can trap bacteria. Make sure you clean your toys thoroughly after each use.
How do I store my toys?
Keep them in a clean, dry space, separate from other toys to prevent material reactions. Storage pouches or cases are clutch for keeping things discreet and dust-free. We also suggest keeping them out of direct sun, so the materials and colors do not fade.
Are sex toys safe for people with allergies?
If you’re sensitive to latex, choose toys labeled “latex-free” or made of medical-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel. When in doubt, patch test with a small touch before a full session. If you have any kind of reaction, stop use immediately and contact your doctor.
What if my toy stops working?
Double-check that it’s charged (or has fresh batteries) and that no moisture got into the charging port. If it’s still not vibing, reach out to customer service. Most of the brands we carry offer warranties ranging from 90 days to 1-year.
Can I use sex toys during my period?
Absolutely. Some people even find it helps with cramps! Just clean your toy extra thoroughly before and after, and maybe stick to waterproof or easily washable toys.
PLAY, CONSENT + CONFIDENCE
How do I talk to my partner about using toys?
Be open, curious, and positive- like, “Hey, I think it’d be hot if we tried this together.” Frame it as an adventure, not a fix. Consent and excitement are the real turn-ons, with a strong emphasis on consent!
Can sex toys make me less sensitive over time?
Nope! That’s a myth. Your body may get used to certain sensations, but switching up toys or speeds keeps things fresh. Think of it like rotating your playlist- same pleasure, new vibes.
Are there toys for couples?
So many! Remote-control vibrators, double-ended toys, and cock rings made for shared stimulation can all spice things up. Couples’ toys are about connection, not competition.
What if I feel awkward using a toy?
Totally normal, and we’ve all been there. Start solo, take your time, and remember, pleasure is personal. Once you let go of the pressure to “perform,” you’ll be surprised how fun it gets.
How do I pick the right toy for me?
Ask yourself: what do I want to feel? Deep pressure, surface buzz, stretch, or tease? Read reviews, explore different categories, and don’t be afraid to experiment. It’s your journey, you own it.
