As we gear up to celebrate National Sex Toy Day on November 4th, there’s no better time to immerse oneself in the world of self-pleasure, while also dismantling harmful ideas of pleasure and smashing the patriarchy!
This special day is a reminder that sex toys are not just objects; they are getaways to a deeper connection with your own body and a chance to intimately connect with the most important person in your life – yourself. Biird, a female-led sex toy brand, shares five ways to make the most of National Sex Toy Day.
Biird is an innovative sex toy brand conceived by industry veterans with over 20 years of experience. As a female-led, pleasure-positive company, Biird is known for its unique, multi-award-winning designs and its dedication to raising awareness about industry bias around female sexuality.
Let National Sex Toy Day be a day to treat yourself to some unforgettable moments – and orgasms!
Pleasure Your Senses
It’s no secret that sex starts way before things get physical – the right ambiance, scents, touch, and other sensory experiences can transport your mood to an entirely new level when it comes to exploring pleasure. Understanding your body’s responses and preferences is crucial for self-discovery, self-confidence, and nurturing a positive body image.
Even if you think you know everything about self-pleasure, try breaking out of your routine and stimulating your other senses. Experiment with a new scent for aromatherapy, whip up a new recipe for your favorite dish, or even take yourself on an impromptu solo date – indulge your imagination.
Approach Masturbation as a Form of Meditation
In a world inundated with information and endless screen time, it’s increasingly challenging to slow down and focus on the tactile sensations and feelings of your own body. Consider self-pleasure as an act of reconnecting with your true self, not just in a sensual way but also as a part of a mindfulness practice. Incorporate breathing exercises and meditation, and pay attention to your feelings as you explore different parts of your body.
Isolating certain senses, such as using a blindfold, can elevate your experience as it will intensify your focus on tactile sensations. A perfect companion for this journey is Kalii, an elegant glass dildo ideal for temperature play, allowing you to explore new dimensions of pleasure.
Give Some TLC To Your Sex Toys
Sex toys need TLC, too. Constant use and contact with bodily fluids require a high level of hygiene to prevent any health complications, while proper cleaning and maintenance ensures sex toys stay in shape for as long as possible.
“Ideally, all sex toys and pleasure objects should be thoroughly cleaned after each use, especially those made from porous materials, as they can collect bacteria and debris that may cause infections. However, even if you stick to a regular cleaning routine, it’s a good idea to inspect your collection from time to time and give your toys a deep clean,” says Andrea Rey, Co-Founder of Biird, in a press release.
Some may be boiled or cleaned in the dishwasher, while others may require a more meticulous cleaning to make sure all nooks and crannies are spotless. Check for any damage on the toys’ surfaces, reconsider your storage methods (ideally, each toy should have its own pouch or case), and ensure you have an ample supply of lube and sex toy cleaner for a smooth journey ahead.”
Perform for the Audience
Masturbation is an extremely intimate act for most people, usually a solo adventure shared only with oneself. However, getting out of your comfort zone can lead to some of the sexiest experiences, and couple masturbation is a perfect idea if you want to spice things up. No partner?
Or no desire to invite someone else to your personal pleasure space? Experiment with performing in front of a mirror. Be the star of your own show and the most engaged spectator.
