Are you planning to buy a sex toy for masturbation? Well, it is a good idea, but you should spend a little time knowing a few things to consider before making the final selection. Things to consider include;

Keep in mind, sex toys are not well regulated, so you must know what to look for and what to avoid. Visit a reputed and reliable store to avoid buying a low-quality toy. Choose stores or brands that offer a warranty on their products, and try to pick a shop where the salespeople are well experienced and knowledgeable about the products.

When it comes to male sex toys for masturbation, spend a bit more money and buy devices made of stainless steel, silicone, or glass rather than choosing other materials. These materials are easy to disinfect without damaging the device, and glass and silicone are hypoallergenic too. Toys made of jelly rubber, or latex may be fun, but might degrade with use and may cause skin irritation and are difficult to disinfect without damaging the device.

The type of toy is another important consideration that you should make. If you are interested in a penis sleeve or a masturbator, then look for models that mimic the size, shape, and feel of the vagina or rectum or a mouth! You can use these toys with lube; they offer an alternative to the digital form of loving your partner.

Check how easy the device is to clean, and whether the ends are open or not. Some sleeves can be turned inside-out for washing. Washing the toys with soap and water and drying it after each use, will keep you healthy and the device humming longer!

Check if the sleeve has moving parts or vibrates. If so, it is battery powered or works on electricity and may not be safe to use during the shower. Go for waterproof toys, if you want to try some underwater play. When it comes to using lube on the device, a big ‘no’ to using lube on latex. You can go for water-based lubes as they are a safe bet.

Remember, you can choose any kind of sex toy for masturbation, but the penis has delicate tissues that can get damaged. So, avoid putting your penis in holes that are too small to get out of. Use a lot of lubricants and wash your penis as well as your toys regularly.
