Toys & Enhancements

Introductory overview of common intimacy devices. Pair with the Lube Compatibility Tool before combining lubricants with condoms or silicone toys.

Overview

Toys can expand sensation, support solo or partnered play, and reduce physical strain. Start slowly, use body-safe materials, and clean devices according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Categories

  • Vibrators — external or internal vibration for clitoral, prostatic, or general stimulation
  • Dildos — penetrative shapes without vibration; prefer non-porous materials (silicone, glass, steel)
  • Sleeves — soft internal textures for penile stimulation
  • Couples' toys — dual-stimulation or wearable designs intended for partnered use
  • Specialty platforms — e.g. riding platforms; see the Sybian user manual (PDF) if relevant

Safety Basics

  • Use a condom over shared or porous toys when switching partners or orifices
  • Match lubricant chemistry to condom and toy materials (compatibility tool)
  • Inspect for cracks or sticky degradation; retire damaged devices
