Women’s Health: Benefits of Using Sex Toys

Have you ever heard the story that a doctor created the first vibrator to help a woman cure her hysteria? If you have, forget about it because it’s not true. Yes, sex toys have been around for a very long time, but that wasn’t their purpose. Some people claim that even Cleopatra had a toy of her own.

But no matter how these toys came to be or were made, they have made a big difference in women’s sex lives. Besides the obvious, the pleasure benefits, they also bring much more to the table.

Most Popular Women’s Sex Toys

Rabbit Vibrators

This is one of the most popular types of sex toys. It originated in Japan in the 1980s. It has evolved since then, but the shape and purpose have remained the same. At one point, it was mentioned in the “Sex and the City” and this is where it reached its peak popularity. Among the wide variety of fun female sex toys, the rabbit vibrator holds the top spot.

This highly stimulative toy has a very distinct shape. It’s made of a slim head that’s meant to penetrate, and a smaller one shaped like rabbit ears, hence the name. The second one is meant to stimulate the clitoris. It can be made of different materials such as silicone, glass, and stainless steel, and comes in many sizes.

Because not every woman has the same needs and stimulation sensations, there are several different types of rabbit vibrators. They usually have different intensities and can rotate on the side, some of them are made for G-spot stimulation, and some can even warm up the G-spot. Rabbit vibrators can be battery-operated or rechargeable. They don’t make a lot of noise, which is pretty important to some women.

Also, they can be water-resistant so you can have some fun in the shower as well. When it comes to size, it’s all about personal preference and experience. If you’re new to sex toys, it’s better if you start with a smaller size. There are plenty of ways you can use the rabbit vibrator. You can enjoy it on your own or use it to have some fun with your partner during foreplay. Just don’t forget to use the right type of lube for your body.

Clitoral Vibrators

Have you ever come across the fact that only 20% of women can experience an orgasm through penetration? The remaining 80% must have some other type of stimulation to reach an orgasm. The most common stimulation is clitoral. This is because the clitoris has a great density of nerve endings.

But whatever group you belong to, you could always use a little more enjoyment. Clitoral vibrators apply stimulation only on the clitoris. If you’ve never used a sex toy before, this one is perfect to start with. Always look for features that suit your needs and materials like silicone that are non-porous and safe for your body.

One more thing you should consider before buying this toy is the intensity levels it offers. The more options you have, the more fun you’ll have. Also, consider its width. You can choose a wider one with a wide range of vibrations, or a narrower one with more focused vibrations.

Bullet Vibrators

Bullet vibrators are one of the simplest female sex toys in terms of design, but they’re very versatile. They are “small but mighty” in every way. Because of their size, they provide targeted stimulation and are perfect when you travel.

You can use them on their own, but combining them with other toys is an option as well. Manufacturers thought of the needs of women and created bullet vibrators with different vibrating patterns. You have plenty to choose from when it comes to your personal satisfaction.

Wand Massagers

There’s a reason why wand massagers are among the favourites of women toys. Even though some women find them intimidating because of their unusual shape, they give phenomenal sensations. You can’t compare them with anything else on the market. These are devices with an ergonomic design that curves around your body.

The wand massagers can be rechargeable or powered by an outlet. They delivers rumbly, deep vibrations that go all the way to the inside of the clitoris. This way you get vibrations inside and outside. These toys come in many sizes and vibration levels so choose what’s most suitable for you and your needs.

Health Benefits of Using Women’s Sex Toys

Improved Sleep

Did you know that a powerful orgasm can be as effective for a good night’s sleep as cuddles and hugs from your loved one? Using sex toys for women while masturbating will allow you to fall asleep faster and sleep better. The reason for this is the hormone called prolactin. It’s produced during masturbation and helps you sleep. Let’s not forget that good sleep will help you have a happier and more productive day.

A Boost in Heart Health

Although you cannot match masturbation to regular exercise and a healthy diet, many studies indicate that it’s beneficial for your heart’s health. During an orgasm, your heart rate peaks and then progressively falls. This is comparable to a HIIT exercise. It’s like climbing a 10% grade at 2.7 km/h on a treadmill.

Reduced Stress Levels

Having regular orgasms can have a very positive effect on your mental health and happiness. The same chemicals that lift your spirits also work wonders for your mental health. The release of oxytocin lessens anxiety and decreases the symptoms of sadness. One more happy hormone, serotonin, helps you feel less stressed and also gives you a more positive attitude towards your daily chores.

Great Vaginal Health

As women get older, their estrogen levels drop. Because of this, the vagina becomes narrower, shorter and less elastic. However, regular intercourse could reduce these potential problems. Every time you get aroused, your vagina moisturises by creating secretions. What helps your vagina stay healthy are those secretions and moisturising.

Better Bladder Control

When you’re having an orgasm, your pelvic muscles tense and relax – those are the same muscles responsible for keeping the bladder under control. So basically, while having an orgasm you’re doing some exercise to strengthen those muscles. As a result, your pelvic floor will get stronger and you get more bladder control.
