Adults Toys Reconnect With Their Inner Children

Adults are taking on their inner children as they rekindle their love for toys that offer nostalgia and comfort. This is driving sales of toys that used to be advertised to children.

A phallic-shaped toy used to get into the body is the Dildo. Dildos are available in variety of sizes and textures, as well as colors. They can stimulate the anal area, g-spot or prostate for internal pleasure.

Sex Toys

Most sex toys are meant to provide stimulation and fun to oral or sexual activities. But they can also increase enjoyment during masturbation or in non-sexual intimate situations like massage. Some sex toys are gender-specific but most are not (although some have specific uses for certain types of orientations). Many toys for sex are designed to be used by two or more people. The most popular sex toys for couples are vibrators, anal dildos and anal plugs.

Other toys such as vibrators, dildos or wand vibrations stimulate the clitoris. They're often made from medical-grade silicone or TPE. They come in various intensity and functions. A sexy toy could be made of wood, glass or even steel. Some are water-proof, while others have sleeves to make inserting easier.

A sex toy that can be used to stimulate or penetration is called a thruster. This Fun Factory toy, with its simple phallic design and seven speeds for more intense sensations, is a great example. Some sex toys come with additional features, such as an elongated hollow shaft for stroking, or an asymmetrical design to enhance stimulation for both partners.

Despite the stigmas that surround these toys, research has shown that sex toys can boost sexual desire and relationship satisfaction for both partners. But it's important to have open discussions regarding the use of these toys and be respectful of your partner's sexual preferences and boundaries. If you insist on using a toy that your partner doesn't like, it can create mistrust and anxiety within the relationship.

Toys licensed by the government

Many people don't associate toys with adults, however it's not unusual for grown-up humans and even nonhuman animals to play with toys. It's not uncommon for adults to purchase their own stuffed animal, play with their dolls or children, or enjoy a board game with friends. Licensed toys are made to spark imagination and appeal to people of all different ages.

Also, licensed toys appeal to adults who want to express their fandom through the purchase of items related to their favorite sports teams, shows movies, and other forms of media. Fans of Marvel and Star Wars often buy action figures, Lego sets, or other products related to their favorite movies. This growing audience of "kidults" is a significant component of the toy market.

Toy manufacturers are aware of this group of consumers and come up with lines that are often based on nostalgic entertainment brands. Companies like Mattel are releasing lines of Barbie and Hot Wheels products designed for collectors of the adult age group, while Hasbro's Black Series is geared toward adults who are looking for high-end Star Wars and Marvel collectibles. Funko is another company that caters to collectors and is getting more sophisticated. The licensed toys are also popular at conventions, where adults meet to share their passion for the brand with fellow fans.

Silicone Toys

When purchasing sexually-oriented toys, it's important to check their materials. Adult toys are generally composed of porous or non-porous material. Porous materials are a bacteria and dirt magnet and they can spread germs to the person who is using them without condoms. This may lead to yeast infections and other problems. Non-porous sexual toys, however, can be easily sterilized and disinfected. Porous sex toy should not be used by individuals suffering from sexually transmitted infections or sexually transmitted diseases.

The most commonly used sex toy material is silicone. It is an excellent idea to purchase only toys made of medical grade silicone or food-grade silicone, which will not leak chemicals into the body when they are accidentally consumed. Silicone toys are also very easy to clean and can be placed in the dishwasher and then boiled for ten minutes, or washed with soap and water.

A lot of companies make sexual toys made of silicone blends. These are poor substitutes for medical grade materials or food-grade materials. While these toys are marketed as being "skin safe," they are not safe for human use and should be avoided at all at all. You can recognize fake silicone toys by using the flame test. Bring a lighter close to the toy, then test if the item melts or burns.

Another aspect to consider when buying sex toys is the fact that they are made of platinum cure or food grade silicone. This is a sign the product is of a higher quality.

Clean Toys

Like any toy, it's important to keep it clean. Unclean adult toys can cause infections such as yeast infections, bacterial viaginosis or even STIs according to the material. They also smell. Therefore, prior to each use, it's a good idea to give your favorite vibrator, dildo or stoker, a thorough cleaning.

It's contingent on the materials of the toy, but in general, a liquid soap is sufficient. The best option is to find one that is body-safe and free of fragrances, parabens, and silicone. A gentle hand soap that you would use for your hands is ideal however, a particular toy cleaner is also a good option.

Sex experts recommend a cleaner for non-motorized toys like those made from stainless steel or silicon. For the most effective results, they recommend using a toy cleaning product that is specifically designed to clean toys. Some experts, like erotic teacher Taylor Sparks and Emily Morse of the Sex With Emily Podcast, recommend investing in a gadget known as the UVee Homeplay that disinfects multiple toys as well as stores them and charges the toys at the same time.

You should also search for toys that are nonporous. Porous materials could harbor harmful bacteria. A lot of adult toy brands make non-porous toys that appear and feel like real flesh. They also create toys that are transparent enough to see the material they are made from.
