As we all know, sex toys come in various shapes, sizes, and materials and some common types of toys are:


1. Vibrators: These are designed for external or internal stimulation. 

2. Dildos: Dildos are phallic-shaped toys used for penetration. 

3. Anal Toys: Designed for anal stimulation.

4. Couples' Toys: There are toys specifically designed for couples that can be used for shared pleasure.

5. Non-Vibrating Toys: Yep, not all sex toys vibrate. Some are designed for manual use and rely on movement!

Maintaining and cleaning your toys

Proper maintenance and cleaning are super important to keep your sex toys safe and functional:

1. Cleaning: Always clean your toys before and after each use. Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

2. Storage: Store your toys in a clean, dry place. Consider a storage pouch or bag to keep them dust-free.

3. Batteries: If your toy uses batteries, remove them when you're not using it to prevent corrosion.

4. Lubrication: Always use a water-based lubricant with your sex toys! Avoid silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys, as they can damage the material.
