Any item in your house can double as furniture where you can have sex, but there is such thing as specialized sex furniture. And yes, you should consider getting specialized sex furniture that can help you try new positions new sex plays, and bring you immense pleasure.
The exciting thing is that you can combine sex furniture with other sex toys and explore more passionate times. So, our team of sexperts prepared the following guide on how to select sex furniture.
What is Sex Furniture?
Sex furniture is also known as erotic furniture; these are furniture pieces that are designed to allow you to try and enjoy various sex poses and explore different types of play. When we say different kinds of sex play, we mean bondage techniques, spanking, masturbation, sexual acts, and more.

Sex Furniture Types
There is a wide variety of sex furniture that you can own and try. Please note that each of these is exciting and fun, and you can try them all, as each comes with an intended use. Here, we’ll talk about each one a bit more:
Sex Pillows – the sex pillows are the most beginner-friendly sex furniture variety you can get. These are also the most versatile, as a sex wedge or a sex ramp pillow can help with positioning, supporting, and pleasing your partner. You can also use a sex pillow to enhance your solo time, as you can lie back on a ramp and get in the best body position that will allow you the most access. If you get a sex pillow with pockets, you can use it as a dildo mount and enjoy hands-free masturbation using your favorite vibrating toy. The sex pillows are made from firm foam and often come with removable covers for easy maintenance. You can also find inflatable sex pillows where you can adjust the firmness and are also travel convenient.
Sex Swings – the sex swing is another type of sex furniture that you can try with ease in your home. The swing suspends one partner in the air, allowing the other partner to move freely around them and tease them as they like. There are ceiling-mounted, free-standing, and door sex swings, and each one has its merits. The sex swing is excellent for couples who want to try suspended positions but can’t hold up their partner. A fantastic feature of sex swings is that many come with attachments and restraints for passionate play, and it adds a sense of weightlessness for the suspended partner.
Sex Chairs – the sex chairs are also known as sex stools or dildo chairs, and these primarily help people with mobility issues to have more comfortable sex. But they’ve attracted wide attention, and now sex stools are used by plenty of couples. The primary use is for partnered play, where one partner sits on the chair, and the other performs sexual acts on them. A sex chair can be comfy for people with bad knees or hip pain. The queening chairs are a particular type of sex chairs designed for accessible oral play and dom/sub games.
Sex Benches – the sex bench is a piece of sex furniture most suited for BDSM practitioners, as most sex benches are primarily designed with bondage play in mind. That is not to say that you can’t use a sex bench for a sensual massage or spanking or use it for deeper penetration. But because it is usually equipped with D-rings and restraints, you can use a sex bench for a lot more activities.
You can find massage beds, obedience boards, extreme sex chairs, complete bondage beds, BDSM cages, St. Andrew’s crosses, and much more.
How to Select Sex Furniture?
Now that you know what the options for sex furniture are, let us cover the main things to note when you go shopping for sex furniture. First, discuss things with your partner and share your sexual desires and unfulfilled fantasies where different sex furniture pieces can help.
For example, if you wish to try some BDSM plays, you may benefit from a sex swing or a sex bench, or if you want to get into more creative positions, then perhaps a sex pillow like a wedge can be more up your alley. Here are the main questions to ask yourself and your partner when selecting sex furniture:
What would you use the sex furniture for?
Do you have room to store your sex furniture?
What is the available budget?
When you and your partner answer these questions, you will get a better idea of what type of sex furniture you should get. We won’t go into more detail here, as you can find specific guides on each sex furniture category in our guides below.
Plus, browse our sex toy store, where you will discover a genuinely versatile offer of sex furniture, sex toys, and all the essentials you need for better sex.

How to Choose a Thrusting Dildo Machine?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
If you want to experience a satisfying thrust and deeply powerful stimulation, then we suggest you consider getting a thrusting dildo machine. These are designed to mimic penetrative sex, and you can use them solo or during partnered play. Since not all thrusting dildo machines are created equal, here we will share a guide on how to choose a thrusting dildo machine and what are the key points in using this fascinating sex machine.
What Is a Thrusting Dildo Machine?
The thrusting dildo machine is an innovative sex machine that mimics the thrusting we experience during penetrative sex. The machine is designed to drive an insertable toy back and forth in a thrusting motion, providing targeted stimulation and pleasure. The machine has an internal motor and mechanism that transforms the rotational into linear motion, and the thrusting speed and length can often be adjusted to fit your needs.
Shop Thrusting Dildo Machines
===COLLECTION===
Thrusting Dildo Machines Models
There are thrusting dildo machines with varying designs, but the main idea behind them is the same – a motor drives the thrusting mechanism to provide targeted thrust and pleasurable stimulation. There are two basic thrusting machine models, and there are various variations of these models:
Portable Thrusting Dildo Machines: the portable thrusting dildo machines are lightweight and easily movable. These are usually powered by batteries or are rechargeable and come with variable settings. The portable sex machines are convenient if you travel a lot and are easy to assemble and clean.
Stationary Thrusting Dildo Machines: the stationary thrusting dildo machines are sturdier and durable and are not that easy to move. Most stationary thrusting machines feature a plug-and-play design, are automated and fully adjustable, and are very powerful and intense. You can control these with a remote controller and adjust the thrust speed and thrust angle.
How to Choose a Thrusting Dildo Machine?
Now that we defined what a thrusting dildo machine is let’s talk about the aspects you need to know when you go to choose a thrusting dildo machine.
Size – the size of the thrusting dildo machine is a fundamental metric, and it is a deciding factor when you choose a dildo machine. We recommend you select a thrusting sex machine that will fit you, and you can use it comfortably. Some machines fit shorter people, and machines that fit taller people, so choose accordingly.
Power – the power of the thrusting dildo machine is essential for satisfying use. A battery-powered portable thrusting machine will not be as powerful as a plug-and-play stationary thrusting dildo machine. Still, these are often adjustable and allow you to adjust the speed and the length of the thrust. Please note that while portable thrusting sex machines are more convenient in one aspect, stationary sex machines are more powerful, with models that go up to 300 thrusts per minute.
Material – the material of the dildo machine plays a role in its usability, and primarily, you can get a plastic or a metal thrusting dildo machine. The material affects the way you use it; a plastic dildo machine is not as rigid, but a metal dildo machine is firmer and can withstand more vigorous use.
Features – when we discuss thrusting dildo machine features, we refer to things like thrust rods, adjustable thrust depth and angles, different attachment options, possible vibrations, and the like. You need to consider all the available options and select one that will fit your intended use. One example is the dildo attachment, and there are sex machines that are compatible with Vac-U-Lock attachemtns or another attachment type.
Controls – thrusting dildo machines come with button controls or with remote controllers. Both options have merits, and you need to consider the choices when you select a thrusting sex machine. We need to remind you that you can use the remote-controlled sex machines with a partner more easily.
Thrusting Dildo Machine Care & Maintenance
You need to take care of your thrusting dildo machine to ensure that it will serve you well. Also, proper maintenance will ensure your safety and here are the main tips on cleaning and maintaining thrusting dildo machines:
Regular cleaning: always clean the dildo machine by wiping it with a damp cloth and some sex toy cleaner. If possible, remove the dildo and wash it with soap and water or your preferred sex toy cleaner. Avoid getting water in the thrusting mechanism and the battery compartment or electrical parts.
Proper storage: always store your thrusting dildo machine in a safe and secure place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Make sure it is fully dry before you store it. Avoid storing the thrusting dildo machine with the dildo attached to the thrusting rod; remove the dildo, clean it, and store it in a protective sex toy storage bag.
Maintenance: regularly check your thrusting dildo machine for damage and replace any worn parts. Also, check and ensure all electrical parts work correctly and do any necessary maintenance.
The text above is an expert-created guide on how to choose a thrusting dildo machine that we believe will help you learn the main things about thrusting dildo machines. We have a detailed guide on how to use a thrusting dildo machine.
Still, we have also written a lot more helpful guides on choosing and using various sex toys, some of which you can see below. Our sex toy store is also excellently stocked, and we carry an excellent selection of thrusting dildo machines, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and much more.

How to Choose a Riding Sex Machine?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
We love discussing sex toys and sharing advice on how to choose and use various sex toys, and today, we’ll talk about riding sex machines. Made famous by the Sybian at the end of the 1980s, the riding sex machine has evolved and is now one of the most enjoyable sex machines for women. So, read on as we talk about riding sex machines and how to choose a riding sex machine that you’ll be happy to ride!
What Is a Riding Sex Machine?
A riding sex machine is a saddle-like sex machine that you straddle and utilize the attached mats that can vibrate, rotate, or thrust. The saddle-like machine is comfortable and highly popular among women who love to masturbate and reach the big O while in the famous Cowgirl position. Most riding sex machines have a plug-and-play design that means you will never lose power, and they come with wired or wireless remote controllers that let you control the features.
Shop Riding Sex Machines
===COLLECTION===
Riding Sex Machines Types
Because of its shape, the riding sex machines come in a very similar design – a saddle. The key differences between these are the features and the materials they’re made from. Some are made from high-quality materials like leather and come with one or more pure silicone attachments.
Others are made from plastic and come with a single attachment, and you may need to get extra attachments for them. There are differences in the controller types, as some come with wired remote controllers, but the highest quality riding sex machines come with app compatibility and wireless control.
How to Choose a Riding Sex Machine?
Since the sex machines come with a hefty price tag, you need to be diligent when selecting a quality riding sex machine. Consider some key characteristics of the riding sex machines and note that there are very few differences regarding the shape and size of the riding sex machine, so you can’t really use this metric when choosing your saddle fuck machine. Thus, we compiled the following factors you must consider when shopping for a saddle fuck machine:
Features – consider what you expect from your riding sex machine in terms of vibrations, rotations, and thrusting, and choose accordingly. Our product descriptions clearly outline all the available features every product provides, and you can make an informed decision.
Power & Intensity – consider how powerful the machine is, and check if the machine has low and high power options. While it may seem attractive to enjoy high-powered vibrations, grinding down while the saddle buzzes on a low setting can be quite arousing and satisfying.
Weight Capacity – check and see what the weight capacity of the saddle fuck machine you are considering is. Knowing beforehand if it is designed to withstand your body weight is critical for satisfactory use.
Attachments – check what types of attachments the saddle sex machine comes with, as it will determine how you can use it. Don’t forget to check for compatible attachments, which you can purchase later.
Care & Maintenance – having a saddle sex machine that is easy to clean is vital, and we suggest you select riding sex machines that are easy to clean and maintain. Get a model that comes with silicone attachments and has a saddle made from waterproof materials that you can wipe down with antibacterial wipes and disinfectant.
Saddle Sex Machine Care & Maintenance
The riding sex machine’s design makes this sex tool simple to clean. The working end of most riding sex machines is the attachment that you place on the top and ride it. It is easily removable, and because most quality saddle sex machines come with a silicone attachment, you can easily wash this with soap and water or your preferred sex toy cleaner.
As for the saddle itself, it only needs a good wipe-down with a damp cloth. We recommend you use a lint-free cloth and a mild household disinfectant (like glass cleaner) to wipe the entire saddle, remove lube and possible residue, and then leave it to dry well.
Quality saddle sex machines come with a suitable cover. However, if yours does not come with a cover, then we suggest you fashion a cover and find an appropriate storage place for it. We advise you not to store the silicone attachments on the saddle as they may get deformed. Instead, get a dedicated sex toy storage bag or case and keep these safe, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Well, there you have it, our expert guide on how to choose a riding sex machine. We covered the basics, and we also prepared another guide on how to use a riding sex machine, as well as a variety of other helpful guides on choosing and using various sex toys. Our sex toy store carries a fantastic selection of riding sex machines, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and much more.

How to Choose a Portable Sex Machine?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
A sex machine is a tool that is guaranteed to bring you intense pleasure and powerful Os! While most sex machines are large and bulky, we have another model for you which allows you more versatility and easy portability – the portable sex machine.
The portable sex machine is fun to use; we have models for you that are easy to set up, are travel-friendly, are durable, and come with versatile settings. Before we talk about how to use one of these, we’ll first discuss how to choose a portable sex machine and highlight the key features that make a fantastic portable sex machine.
What Is a Portable Sex Machine?
A portable sex machine is a sex machine designed to be easily transportable. It combines the features of the bulkier fuck machines and the travel-friendliness of handheld sex toys like vibrators and dildos. The result is a sex machine that is easy to carry anywhere with you while still having all the powerful features.
Most of these have vibrating and thrusting features and are battery-powered for convenient use. Below we’ll outline the main factors when choosing one and talk about some of the available portable fuck machine models.

Portable Fuck Machines Models
The portable sex machines have a more straightforward design and usually come with vibrating and thrusting functionalities. Some of these can also be considered thrusting dildos, as there are many similarities between these sex toy models.
Another portable sex machine model is the reciprocating saw sex machine. It is precisely as you imagine it: a reciprocating saw that has a dildo attachment where you can attach a compatible dildo and enjoy intense pounding with some modes reaching up to 2000 strokes per minute.
How to Choose a Portable Sex Machine?
Here we discuss the features that you need to be mindful of when you select a portable sex machine:
Size – the size is important for a portable sex machine and is a deciding factor for selection. These are relatively compatible and easily portable so you can choose a model based on the features.
Material – we are talking about the material of the sex machine and the insertable probe here. Most portable sex machines are made from durable plastic like ABS or PVC, and the dildo attachments can be from TPE, PVC, or silicone, which is the best body-safe option.
Power – because of their more compact size, the portable sex machines are most often battery-powered and come with a rechargeable battery. These can’t measure up with their plug-and-play thrusting fuck machines or riding sex machines, but still, high-quality models pack a mighty punch and come with satisfactory power.
Features – the features here include vibrations, rotations, thrusting, and, in some cases, even heating. Choose a feature that appeals to you the most, and note that often, you don’t need to make compromises, as quality portable fuck machines bring a variety of features, including suction cup bases for hands-free use.
Controls – the controls are either on the handle or the base of the portable sex machine or via a wireless remote controller. We suggest you consider how you plan to use your sex machine; if you play with a partner, a wireless remote is always a better option for more exciting play.
Attachments – you can get a portable sex machine with a single dildo attachment. Still, some models allow you to change the sex machine attachments and use various dildos with your chosen model. Talk about variety and versatility!
Portable Sex Machine Care & Maintenance
The portable sex machines are straightforward to clean and maintain, as this is a feature incorporated into the toy’s design. Some models are fully waterproof or splashproof, and you can quickly rinse these with soap and water or your preferred sex toy cleaner.
On the other side, the non-waterproof models require more careful cleaning. In such a case, remove the insertable dildo from the machine and wash it as you would any other dildo. Using a lint-free cloth and a household disinfectant, carefully wipe your portable sex machine, removing lube and other residue.
Once everything it is dry, store it in its place, like a dedicated sex toy storage bag or case for the insertable dildo and a protective bag for the machine that will keep it safe.
We wrote this short guide on how to choose a portable sex machine that we believe covers the bases and is a good starting point. However, we have plenty of other guides on choosing and using various sex toys, including sex machines. Browse the sex toy store as we’ve selected high-quality products for you, like sex machines, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, male toys, etc.

No BDSM playtime would be complete without a cane. You can use this tool for pleasure and pain, as the strike of the cane can be light and teasing to intense and downright painful. But how do you know which cane to get for the proper application? Well, we are here, as our experts prepared the following guide on how to choose a BDSM cane, and we also added several tips & tricks for using a cane to get the most out of it.
What is a BDSM Cane?
A BDSM cane is, as the name suggests, a cane used in BDSM plays. It is a straightforward implement used for pain or pleasure and for psychological games many BDSM couples enjoy. The cane can be made from leather, wood, metal, nylon, rattan, bamboo, or fiberglass, and each material has its properties and different effects. We’ll talk more about using these below, and now let’s discuss the key points to know when selecting a suitable cane.

How to Select a BDSM Cane?
Selecting a cane is an interesting and exciting process, as there are many things to consider. The BDSM cane is much more than a stick you can hit your sub with, and you need to know that different materials bring different effects. Here are the foremost selection factors:
Cane Material – basically, you can select between natural and synthetic materials. The natural materials are wood, bamboo, and rattan; these canes look and feel authentic. Synthetic materials are nylon, metal, or plastic. These are more versatile and can be used to inflict various sensations.
Cane Length – you can select a short cane that is easier to control, and you can stand closer to your sub with a shorter cane. If you get a longer cane, you can deliver a more significant, more intense impact.
Cane Handle – the handle is where you grasp and control the cane. The models with a straight handle are easier to use and are very popular. The models with crooked handles are like the canes that were used in schools in the old days, and these are popular for role play and with users who like the vintage look.
Cane Flexibility – you can get a stiff cane that is easy to control, and this is a model recommended for beginners, but please note that these are heavier and bring a thudding effect. The flexible canes require more experience to use; these are thin and stingy and are often made from synthetic materials.
The Desired Effect – you can select a cane depending on the effect you wish to inflict. You can get a model that brings a thudding effect, delivering an intense massage and bruising. The other option is to get a cane that delivers a stingy effect, like an intense pain that dissipates quickly.
How to Use a BDSM Cane?
Caning is commonly used in BDSM plays, and it can be a form of corporeal punishment or sensual tapping. Before you use a cane with your partner, make sure you establish clear communication and set the limits you both are comfortable with. Here are some essential tips on how to use a BDSM cane and some expert advice on where to focus the cane:
Set limits and start slow, with light strikes – always begin slowly, with light tapping, and gradually increase the intensity of the strikes.
Aim for fleshy parts of the body – when you cane someone, aim for the fleshy parts of the body like the buttocks, the thighs, and the back of the legs, as there is a lot of muscle here that can take the hits.
Avoid hitting the spine and joints – don’t hit the bony body parts, like the spine and joints, as you can injure your partner.
Pay attention to your partner’s reactions – always be present and pay close attention to your partner’s reactions and communicate through the activity, being aware of any discomfort.
Alternate the strikes between different body areas – don’t focus all the strikes in one place to avoid over-stimulating and even hurting your partner.
Aftercare is essential – as with any other BDSM play, aftercare is necessary when you cane someone. It involves physical care, like applying ice or soothing cream, and emotional care, like providing praise and discussing the experience.
We covered the basics of how to choose a BDSM cane, and we also touched upon using a cane with some tips and tricks. We have also prepared a lot more how-to choose and how-to-use guides for you. We also invite you to check out our sex toy store, and we promise you will be impressed with the selection of BDSM canes, BDSM sex toys, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and so much more.
FAQs
Can a beginner use a cane?
A beginner can use a cane, but this is an activity that takes time to learn and master. As a beginner, we suggest you use a light cane, preferably one made from wood or bamboo, and practice on a pillow before you start caning your partner.
Where to aim the strikes with a cane?
Always aim the strikes where there is a lot of muscle, like the buttocks, the front, and the back of the upper legs. Avoid the areas where there is little muscle, like the back, the spine, or the hands, as you can do serious harm in these areas.
What is the best BDSM cane?
There is no single best BDSM cane, as different canes bring different sensations. Wooden canes provide a thudding sensation that is more long-lasting, while synthetic canes are more flexible and provide a stingier sensation.
Should I get a wooden or a plastic cane?
The wooden and plastic canes deliver a completely different sensation, and they also look and feel different than each other. Many hardcore BDSM practitioners opt for wooden or metal canes because they are heavier, durable, and provide harder impact. For novice users, we recommend rattan or bamboo canes as these are more flexible, and you can learn how to use them to achieve the most significant effect more quickly.
What safety guidelines do you recommend when using a BDSM cane?
We always advise you and your partner to be completely sober and present in the experience. Don’t take any drugs or alcohol when you intend to use a BDSM cane, and discuss whether your partner has any possible medical condition like arthritis or something similar. Also, focus only on the fleshy parts of the body where there are larger muscles, like the butt or the back and inner thighs. Always start with slow, light taps, gauging your partner’s reactions, and only when you both feel confident can you move to heavier hits.

How to Choose Bed Sheets for Better Sex?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
While no rule says you need to have special sheets on your bed to have sex, sheets indeed play a role in enhancing the sexual experience. Imagine you are entering the bedroom, and you see a simple mattress and flannel sheets that may offer warmth, but these in no way invite you to get creative and get down to business.
Here, we take a closer look at how you can select extra sexy sheets that can improve your sexy experience, but we’ll also cover another type of sex sheets that are intended for messy sex and various BDSM scenarios. Yes, there is such a thing, so read on, and we bet you’ll learn a lot of exciting things.
Why Use Special Sheets for Sex?
You may think that there is nothing wrong with your bed and sheets, as you and your partner can get it on anywhere, anytime. But imagine you getting in the mood and you need to lie down on scratchy sheets that have seen thousands of washes. So, any adult who is having regular sex needs to consider investing in proper sheets where they can really get it on and not worry about the mess.
We are not discussing thousand-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets that breathe and invite a sensual atmosphere, although this is important; we are talking about sex sheets that allow you to be messy and not worry about spilling lube or even squirting all over them.
There are special sex sheets made from materials that don’t allow the leaking of fluids down to the bed where you sleep. These are waterproof and designed to cover your bed and believe us when we say that such sex sheets can let you really let go and enjoy messy sex play.

How to Choose Sex Sheets: Main Things to Note
Now that we have outlined what type of sheets we are talking about let’s chat about the features you need to know to select a waterproof sex sheet. We need to note that our experts advise you to use sex sheets when you engage in more extended sexual play, like a long masturbation session, anal play, or even a sensual massage where lots of sexy massage oil is involved. We tested multiple models and found the things that you need to know when you select specialized and protective sex sheets.
Choose sex sheets to fit your preferred sexy play: we recommend you sit down with your partner and discuss what sex plays you’d like to explore more, and then get all the necessary items to make that happen.
Fitted sheets for wet play: we suggest you get a waterproof sheet that fits your bed and your body. If you want to engage in some couple’s play, then make sure the sheet will suit you and your partner, and no one will hang over the sheet.
A sheet with inflatable sides for messy play: this option is perfect for couples who want to engage in dirty, sexy play like oil play, sploshing, food play, and even lotion play. The sides of this type of sex sheet inflate and provide a pool-like area where you can play and don’t allow spilling of the liquids all over the place.
Choose sheets that are easy to wash: we recommend you get sex sheets made from PVC or vinyl that are easy to clean and maintain. It is vital for many reasons, safety and hygiene being the primary ones. However, the vinyl/PVC sheets are waterproof and can often be cleaned by a simple rinse in the shower. Additionally, these look sexy when spread on the bed and provide an exciting feel on the skin when you lie down on them.
Get absorbent sheets if you are a squirter or for sex in a hurry: There are also sex sheets that are made from absorbent materials like microfiber and lined with a moisture barrier, and these are perfect for the times when you just want to throw something over the bed and get to business. You can also use these as throws over the sofa, couch, or the floor.
Can Special Sheets Improve Sex Play?
Before we let you go, we’ll talk a bit about how special sheets like waterproof PVC or vinyl sheets can help you and your partner engage in different sexy games. For starters, adding waterproof sheets will allow you to explore new avenues of pleasure.
You can really let go and engage in wet play; for example, use oils, lotion, or even hot wax play that would potentially ruin your sheets. You won’t have to worry about bodily fluids or lube leaking all over and thinking about how someone will have to sleep in the wet spot.
We also suggest that squirters should have these handy, as the material is easily washable, and you can relax and not worry about the mess. We can name some more examples, but overall, you get the idea – waterproof and specialized sheets allow you to freely enjoy your preferred sex play as you can relax not think about messing up your bed.

Pillows are not just for sleeping, you know? Yes, it is true, as pillows can play a vital role in your sex life, and the right pillow can help you be more comfortable and explore various sex positions. We will discuss sex pillows and share expert advice on how to choose a sex pillow that will make a difference in your sex life.
What is a Sex Pillow?
A sex pillow is a firm, angled pillow that helps you prop up your or your partner’s body during sex. It is made of firm foam in a specific shape that is designed for a particular use. A good sex pillow can help you explore new sex positions and try new angles that you would not be able to try otherwise.
Sex Pillow Shapes
The shape of the sex pillow includes an angle that you utilize during sex; it is firm and supportive, and unlike standard bed pillows, this one does not lose its shape and gives ample support. Thus, the most common sex pillows come in several ergonomic shapes:
Wedge – the wedge shape is the most common sex pillow shape, and the triangle shape helps with sexual positions that can be uncomfortable for the hips and hands. One of the most common uses for the wedge sex pillow is raising the hips, raising the thighs, and supporting your upper body.
Ramp – the ramp-shaped sex pillow features a sloping surface that allows your body to be comfortably positioned for some sex positions. It provides support for the back and is incredibly comfortable during oral play or similar positions.
Mount – the mount sex pillow is a firm pillow that may have a body pillow shape or a cushion shape, and it is excellent for positioning the hips and allowing deeper penetration or supporting the knees. Some models have pockets to fit a dildo or a vibrating toy and facilitate solo masturbation.
Cylinder – the cylinder sex pillow is, as the name suggests, a cylinder-shaped pillow made from foam. It provides support for the knees or can help elevate the butt and allow deeper penetration.

How to Select a Quality Sex Pillow?
The sex pillows have several essential features that help with use. These have special designs for easy use, and they provide a firm, stable base for your body. Thus, here we list the main sex pillow features you should know when selecting a quality sex pillow:
Sex Pillow Shape
The sex pillow shape is the main feature you need to consider when selecting a supportive sex pillow. We suggest you initially look at wedge sex pillows, as these are the “universal” shape to help with positioning and support your hips, neck, or side.
The wedge shape is naturally suitable for wedging something – propping you up while you get down. We have to mention that there are wedge pillows in varying sizes, so you need to look for a model that will work for you and your partner, but you also have enough room to safely store it.
The ramp-shaped sex pillow is a contoured pillow that supports the body. The sloped contours are fitting for your butt, back, or knees, and you can get really creative.
Mount and cylinder-shaped sex pillows also have their highlights. Thus, you realize that the sex pillow’s shape and size are the primary features you need to consider when selecting a suitable sex pillow for solo and partnered sex.

The sex pillows come from various materials, and each of these has its pros and cons. One of the most common materials is memory foam, a firm yet flexible material that holds its shape well and provides sturdy support for the body. A sex pillow made from memory foam will stay in the same shape for years, no matter how much you use it.
The inflatable sex pillow is usually made from vinyl or PVC, and it does hold its shape well when inflated, but you need to be careful as this model has a weight limit. Also, inflatable sex pillows are more challenging to clean but are a good choice for small bedrooms.
Sex Pillow Cover
We advise you to select sex pillows with removable covers or pillowcases, preferably one made from microfiber. Microfiber is a synthetic material that is easy on the skin and is effortless to wash and keep clean. When you are done using your sex pillow, remove the cover and throw it in the washing machine with the rest of the bedclothes.
Using a Sex Pillow: Tips & Tricks
We all know how to use a sleep pillow, but when it comes to employing a sex pillow, things are a bit different. Using the sex pillow depends on its shape and the positions you wish to try. So, we prepared a few tips & tricks that our experts believe will help you when you introduce a sex pillow to your sexy time:
Start with a good sex pillow: get a pillow that will provide the best support for you and your partner. If you prefer solo play, then you can get a sex pillow with a sex toy mount, but if you enjoy playing with your partner, then you may benefit more from a wedge or ramp sex pillow.
Start with positions you know: when you get your sex pillow, start by introducing it to positions you are comfortable with. We are talking about using a wedge sex pillow during missionary poses or lying on a ramp pillow during oral sex. It would be best if you let your intuition guide you and explore more complex positions.
Utilize a sex pillow during solo time: a sex pillow can help you position your body more comfortably during masturbation. You can use the wedge pillow to get in a half-lying position or get a half-moon sex pillow to reach yourself easily. Also, you can utilize a sex pillow mount and add a wand vibrator or a dildo and ride away.
Use a sex pillow for BDSM play: some sex pillows have D-rings or other restraints integrated into their design, which makes these models very convenient for exploring different BDSM scenarios. Utilize the provided restraints or add some handcuffs and bind your partner to the sex pillow and have your way with them.
Sex Pillow Care & Maintenance
Sex pillows, like other implements you use during sex, need a thorough cleaning and proper maintenance. Most sex pillows come with a removable pillowcase that you can easily take off and wash in a washing machine. It is a cure way to clean away all residue from your sex pillow and ensure it will be ready for your next adventures.
If you have an inflatable sex pillow or one that does not have a removable case, you can use a cloth and antibacterial spray to wipe the surface, ensuring you have a clean pillow you can safely use.
It is simple to store a sex pillow, as you can keep it in your bedroom as a decorative pillow and have it within easy reach when the mood strikes. You can keep it in your linen closet if you wish to keep it away from curious eyes. But if you have limited bedroom real estate, you can even opt for an inflatable model that you can deflate and store in your closet.
The Bottom Line
There you have it, guys, an expert guide on how to choose a sex pillow. We also covered some tips and tricks to help you utilize a sex pillow for more comfortable sex play.
We provide you with a variety of guides on how to choose and how to use various sex toys that we believe will help you expand your sexual views. Please browse our sex toy store, where we have an excellent collection of sex pillows, creative sex furniture, and exciting sex toys.

Dildo play is fun and all, but did you know that you can enhance your pleasure and find new ways to play with your dildo by introducing a dildo chair? Yep, there is such a thing, and it is a fun and creative way to play with your dildo, like riding it cowgirl-style, grinding down on it, or exploring other poses. Here, we discuss dildo chairs, more precisely, how to choose a dildo chair that you will find fun to use and one that will serve you for years.
What Is a Dildo Chair?
A dildo chair is a specialized contraption where you can mount a dildo and do some heavy riding. There are different models, and some come with the dildo attached, while others allow you to mount your own dildo, but all are creative and exciting tools that can help with positioning, easier thrusting, comfort, and support.
Because dildo chairs are created differently, different models provide different user experiences. However, we’ll divide these by a simple feature: whether they have a built-in dildo or models where you can attach your dildo.
Shop Dildo Chairs
===COLLECTION===
Dildo Chair Models
The models with a built-in dildo have some advantages that some may find appealing like the dildo is already there, and you don’t need to buy another one. It comes already adjusted, and it is firmly attached, so it won’t move as you rock on it. The downside is that you only get one dildo, and you can’t use a different model.
The dildo chairs where you can use your dildo have these advantages: you can utilize your favorite dildo, you get more variety and experiment with angles, and you can use different dildos with it. The downsides are that you will have to utilize a dildo that is compatible with your dildo chair, and you may not be able to use a dildo you already have.
Here are some of the basic models of dildo chairs that you can find:
Sex stools – these are straightforward dildo chairs that allow you to attach and use your dildo. These can be made of metal, wood, or plastic and provide you with simple use options.
Dildo Gliders – these are simple mechanical chairs where you use your body movement to move the dildo. These are fun and are compatible with various users, especially for people with some mobility issues.
Dildo Mounts – the dildo mounts are sex pillows that have special pockets where you can place a dildo or a vibrator. These are versatile and provide ample support during sex, but they can also find their use as dildo chairs.
Queening Chairs – these are not the typical dildo chairs, but you can turn them into one with a bit of creativity. The queening chair is primarily for oral sex and BDSM games, but you can get inventive and add a dildo or vibrator to it.
Inflatable Dildo Chairs – as the name says, these are inflatable chairs that have one or more dildos attached to them. You can bounce or ride these, or you can get a vibrating model and utilize more sensations.
Dildo Chair & Sex Machine Combo – these are the most advanced dildo chairs, and they provide an immersive, next-level enjoyment, especially for BDSM enthusiasts. Many of these are throne-like chairs with an integrated sex machine that allows countless adjustments and optimizations.
How to Select a Dildo Chair?
After we covered the dildo chair options, let’s take a closer look at the main features you need to know when you decide to buy a dildo chair. We used our expert’s advice and created the following list of selection criteria when choosing a dildo chair:
Size: make sure the dildo chair will fit your body, as you won’t want to get a model that is too low or too high and not comfortable to use.
Materials: make sure the materials the dildo chair is made from are durable and easy to maintain. If it has a firmly attached dildo, make sure it is made from body-safe materials.
Ease of Use: the dildo chairs need to be easy to use, as you want to think about your pleasure and not about potential issues. It is where the materials, size, and possible positions come into play, so choose per your preference.
Dildo Compatibility: if you get a model with a built-in dildo, check the dildo’s size and materials, but if you opt for a chair where you can use your dildo, consider getting a model that will work with the dildos you already have.
Storage: depending on the design, the dildo chair can take up considerable space in your bedroom. If you have the space, that is not a problem, but if bedroom real estate is an issue, then learn the measurements and make sure you have enough space to safely store it.
Dildo Chair Care & Maintenance
Taking care of your dildo chair means it will last you for years, and it will always be ready to serve its purpose. Read the manufacturer’s instructions to see how you need to clean your dildo chair. Most often, the dildo chairs are made from waterproof materials that you can wipe with an antibacterial spray or a damp cloth.
When it comes to cleaning the dildo, if it is removable, then remove it from the dildo chair and wash it like you would any other dildo. In the case of using a dildo chair that does not allow removing the dildo, you need to clean it with a sex toy cleaner and antibacterial wipes, removing any lube or other residue.
We covered all the bases on how to choose a dildo chair that you can ride to an explosive orgasm. We also have other expert guides on how to select, along with specific advice on how to use various sex toys. Our sex toy store is pretty well-supplied, and you can find a good selection of sex furniture, dildo chairs, vibrators, dildos, and much more.

You can use a variety of furniture elements during sex, but let’s face it: some are more comfortable than others. We are, of course, talking about specialized pieces that are better for some applications and some sexy positions, like a sex bench or a chaise lounge. So, we prepared the following guide on how to choose a sex bench and the key takeaways for getting the most out of this sexy furniture item.
What Is a Sex Bench?
A sex bench is an item that is intended to allow you more access to pleasurable sex positions and facilitate various activities. These involve massage beds, bondage boards, obedience boards, extreme sex chairs, complete bondage beds, BDSM furniture, St. Andrew’s crosses, and curved lounge beds that are sexy to look at and sexier to use.
Shop Sex Benches
===COLLECTION===
How to Select a Sex Bench?
The sex bench options are extensive, ranging from simple inflatable options to heavy-duty leather-upholstered chaise lounges that also act as statement furniture pieces in your home. A sex bench is an excellent tool that can significantly improve things if you have difficulty getting into a position or you’re looking for ways to enhance the enjoyment of penetrative sex.
The slope of the bench allows for deeper penetration and better support, and additional sections only make the experience better. So, here are the main things to consider when looking to select a sex bench:
What would you use the sex bench for?
If you wish to enhance some sexual positions, then you should consider selecting a curved chaise lounge and adding sex wedge pillows to help with positioning and support. However, suppose you are after a sex bench that will serve you during partnered sex, and you wish to explore different positions and BDSM scenarios. In that case, you should consider a model with extra accessories like leg holders, D-rings, straps, cuffs, and leg spreaders.
Do you have room to store your sex bench?
Having enough space in your home to keep your sex bench will affect your buying decision. For example, if you have limited space, then it is best to consider buying an inflatable sex bench that you can deflate and store with ease. If this is an option, then first check the weight rating of the inflatable bench, especially if you wish to use it with a partner.
Another option is a foldable sex bench that you can fold and store under a bed, out of the way but still within easy reach. Lastly, if you have a lot of room, we suggest you get a chaise lounge model that will also be a statement piece in your home. If your tastes run more towards BDSM plays, we recommend you get a high-quality obedience chair that allows versatility in immobilizing your partner.
What is your available budget?
The price of a sex bench varies greatly, ranging from a couple of hundred to over 1K, so this factor will probably play a key role in your purchase decision. So, consider what you can spare for this sexy tool and select the best option for your budget.
Take your time and discuss it with your partner; when you answer these questions, you will get a better idea of the type of sex bench you can buy. If you are interested in other sex tools, furniture, and toys, we have other comprehensive how-to-use and how-to choose guides on our guides page, some of which you’ll find below. We also invite you to browse our sex toy store, where you will discover a versatile offer of sex benches, sex furniture, sex toys, and most essentials you need for better sex.

How to Choose a BDSM Pinwheel?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
What was initially designed as a medical device for checking nerve sensitivity has found its way into the realm of BDSM play, and rightfully so. Yes, we are talking about the Wartenberg pinwheel, or BDSM pinwheel, which provides a tantalizing sensation as you run it over the skin. Here, we will outline the key things to note when you choose a BDSM pinwheel and a couple of tips on how to use this pleasure toy.
What is a BDSM Pinwheel?
The BDSM pinwheel is a wheel attached to a handle with pins or spikes radiating from the center. The wheel rotates, and the spikes press the skin, producing a highly concentrated stimulation that people often use in sensory sexual play.
There are two basic designs of BDSM pinwheels: models with a single wheel and models with multiple wheels. When you use a single-wheel model, you get sensations concentrated on a smaller area, thus highlighting the pain/pleasure. The multi-wheel model can feature up to ten wheels, and it spreads the stimulation over a greater area. Both have their applications, but more on that below.
Shop BDSM Pinwheels
===COLLECTION===
How to Select a Wartenberg Pinwheel?
Selecting a Wartenberg pinwheel needs to be a straightforward process, and here we’ll help you by outlining the essential criteria you need to follow. Safety comes first, so always shop from a trusted store and don’t compromise quality over price. So, here are the main features to look for in a BDSM pinwheel:
Material: the pinwheels come from metal or plastic. The best choice is, of course, medical-grade stainless steel, as it is sturdy and easy to clean. It is also perfect for people with a medical fetish. You can also get a plastic pinwheel that is great for beginners, but it is not as sturdy or durable as the models made from metal.
Rows of wheels: the classic pinwheel has a single spiked wheel, but there are also models with up to 10 spiked wheels. Please note that the fewer spiked wheels, the more pain you can cause, so use it carefully. Also, the models with multiple wheels can provide deep tissue stimulation, as you can exert more pressure on the skin without piercing it.
Sharpness of spikes: the spikes on the pinwheels are relatively sharp, but there are models with sharper and models with blunt pins. Experts can use the sharpest pinwheels, but novices need not experiment, and a pinwheel with blunter spikes is a good option for experimentation.
Design: a model with a handle or a model with a finger loop. The handle model is easy to use and runs all over the body, and it provides better control of the motions. The finger loop model usually comes with several wheels and attaches to one or two fingers. It limits the range of motion, but it is perfect for couple’s play.
How to Use a BDSM Pinwheel?
Now that we’ve covered the basic features of the BDSM pinwheel, we feel we should touch on how to use it. Please note that there is no right or wrong way to use a pinwheel, but you do need to be careful when using it for the first time, as it is easy to draw blood.
So, heed our advice and use a beginner-friendly model with blunt spikes and enjoy all the pleasure and sensory stimulation. Here are a few tips on how to use a Wartenberg pinwheel:
Nerve stimulation – run the wheel lightly across the arms, neck, back, or inner thighs to provide gentle sensations and stimulate the nerve endings. While these are erogenous zones for many, these are the “safer” areas that provide exciting stimulation. For a more targeted stimulation, run the wheel across the nipples, the penis, the testicles, or around the clitoris, as these places are packed with nerve endings and, when stimulated, can drive a person wild with arousal.
Enhance impact play – impact play brings the blood up to the surface of the skin, making the skin sensitive to touch. You can further enhance the sensations by running a BDSM pinwheel over excited skin; it will additionally stimulate the nerve endings and drive your sub wild with sensations.
Temperature play – a metal pinwheel is perfect for temperature play, especially for cold play. Place it in a glass of ice water for a few minutes, and then run the pinwheel over your partner’s excited skin, providing a temperature shock and contrasting sensations.
Add a blindfold – you can add a blindfold to your sex games, leaving your partner to guess where you’ll touch them next with the pinwheel. Consider using restraints and tickle torture in combination with a pinwheel to enhance the fun.
We looked to cover the basics on how to choose a BDSM pinwheel, but you can check out our other how-to choose and how-to-use guides below and read more on our guides page. We also invite you to check out our sex toy store, and we promise you will be impressed with the selection of BDSM toys, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and so much more.
FAQs
Can a beginner use a pinwheel?
Yes, a beginner can use a pinwheel, and we recommend you try a beginner-friendly plastic pinwheel to get in the groove of using this sexy tool. Or, you can try a metal wheel with blunt spikes, and once you and your partner feel comfortable, you can continue using a pinwheel with sharper spikes.
What to do if I draw blood with a pinwheel?
If you happen to draw some blood while using a pinwheel, there is nothing to worry about. Sterilize the area with an antiseptic, and wash and sterilize your pinwheel. To avoid such issues, always communicate with your partner and listen to their responses.
Who should use a BDSM pinwheel?
Any person or couple looking to experience sensory play should try using a pinwheel. Beginners should tread carefully and start with slow, easy movements to avoid hurting their partner, drawing blood, or causing bruises.

How to Choose Wax Play Candles?
by Kate Miller
on Jan 08 2026
Wax play is a form of temperature play that is both sensual, erotic, and slightly painful. Commonly practiced by BDSM-loving couples, wax play involves dripping molten wax on a person’s skin, thus inducing a somewhat burning sensation. The essentials for wax play are wax candles, and since not all candles are created equal, here we discuss the particulars of wax play and outline how to select wax play candles.
What Is a Wax Play Candle?
The wax play candle is a specialized candle designed for comfortable wax play. Different types of candles melt at various temperatures, producing a significantly broad range of temperatures, ranging from warm and soothing to very hot and even dangerously overheated. Further down, we’ll discuss how to safely play with wax, but here, let’s look at the types of wax candles and see which ones are safe for wax play:
Soy Wax – melts at a starting temperature of 114 degrees and is safe and recommended for wax play.
Paraffin Wax – melts at a starting temperature of 116 degrees and is safe for wax play.
Beeswax – melts at a starting temperature of about 143 degrees and is Not safe for wax play.
Microcrystalline Wax – melts at a starting temperature of about 150 degrees and is Not safe for wax play.
Stearin Wax – melts at temperatures of about 176 degrees and is Not safe for wax play.
Shop Wax Play Candles
===COLLECTION===
How to Select a Wax Play Candle?
It is relatively straightforward to choose a wax play candle. If you notice above, we talked about the melting temperature of wax, which is a crucial aspect to know when selecting a wax play candle.
To be safe and avoid hurting your partner and yourself, always select soy was of paraffin candles. Pick candles that are not scented, as fragrance additives can increase the melting point of the candle and cause skin irritations.
Additionally, you can select wax candles that have added mineral oil, as this lowers the melting temperature of the wax, making them better suited for wax play. Candles with partial oil content are also called massage candles. These contain oils like jojoba oil or moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, as the nourishing oils get absorbed into the skin. These are also recommended for novices in wax play, as the oils don’t allow the wax to harden too much, making it easier to remove from the skin.
The hard wax candles don’t have added oils, and these harden to a hard texture, which can be challenging to remove from areas where there is hair.
Tips for Safe Wax Play
Now that you know how to select quality wax play candles, please check out our guide on tips for safe wax play. We compiled the list below based on our expert’s advice, and we advise you to be careful and don’t try to repurpose birthday candles or household scented candles. Put safety first and follow our tips:
Start with a sensual atmosphere – we always advise you to start any sexy play by preparing a sexy atmosphere. Dim the lights, light scented candles, and play sexy music. It does not hurt to have a bucket of water handy if things get out of hand.
Be present – always be wholly sober and present when engaging in wax play. Stay away from alcohol or drugs, as this can play tricks with your sensory levels, and you can hurt yourself and your partner.
Prepare the skin – always put lotion or body oil on the skin before trying wax play, and you can incorporate a sexual massage with massage oil or lotion. It will make the skin suppler, and the wax won’t irritate it as much, so you can easily remove it. You should also shave the skin (or epilate it) before wax play, as the wax won’t have anything to stick to.
Always use specialized wax play candles – as we noted, always use candles intended for wax play, like soy or paraffin candles, as these don’t burn as hot and won’t burn the skin.
Test wax hotness in safe areas – before you go and drip hot wax on sensitive parts, first test a few drops on your wrist and your partner’s wrist to gauge if this is something you both can comfortably withstand.
Drip from a safe distance – we suggest you drip the molten wax from a distance of about 15 inches to 20 inches, as it will allow the wax enough time to cool down a little, and it will not splatter to areas you don’t want it to.
Play with the wax – after you get in the groove, you can play by pouring wax in specific patterns on your partner or even use your fingers to get more creative. After the wax hardens on your partner’s body, you can play with it, too, like tapping the hardened waxy texture or using ice cubes to further solidify the wax and cool the skin for extra sensations.
Aftercare is vital – aftercare is critical for a safe wax play, and it includes things like cuddling and communicating throughout the entire experience. After you are finished, talk to your partner and discuss the things you liked, what you did not like, and what you’d like to repeat. It also includes rubbing the skin with a soothing lotion that will help soothe overheated skin.
Wax play usually takes practice to master, so don’t give up, but experiment and enjoy yourselves. We hope our guide on how to choose wax play candles is helpful, but we also have a long list of other sex toy guides. We invite you to check out our sex toy store, and we promise you will be impressed with the selection of BDSM toys, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and so much more.
FAQs
Does playing with hot wax hurt?
Wax play treads the line between pleasure and pain, and it depends on a person’s pain tolerance. Also, the lower the height from which you drip the wax, the hotter it will be, thus making it more painful. If you drip it from higher, it will cool down before hitting the skin. However, many BDSM enthusiasts love the intense sensations that some would describe as pain, but it is the whole point of the power play dynamic, and hot wax is an excellent part of it. Another factor is the candle type you use, as the massage candles are more comfortable, but the soy and paraffin candles create a thicker texture that many love.
Can a beginner use a wax play candle?
Yes, a beginner can use a wax play candle, but we suggest you buy soy wax candles with high oil content, as these melt at a lower temperature and are easier to clean. For beginners, it is best to start with massage candles.
How do you clean the wax after wax play?
We recommend you use sex sheets when engaging in wax play, and always prepare the skin with lotion or massage oils. It will help with wax removal, but you can also use a plastic card or a blunt butter knife to scrape the wax from the skin. Use a cotton pad dipped in massage oil to loosen the wax from sensitive places, and wash with warm water.

The BDSM crop is one of the most versatile impact play toys you can get. It is excellent for disciplining your sub and playing with medium-impact play and is suited for beginners and experienced BDSM practitioners. The crop is lightweight and is perfect for delivering well-aimed blows to your partner. There is a broad range of BDSM crops, and we tested a whole lot of them. Thus, we bring you an expert guide on how to choose a BDSM crop, along with some tips for more effective crop play.
What is a BDSM Crop?
The BDSM crop derives from the riding crop, a long, flexible shaft wound in leather that has a flat tip at the end. Used in equestrian sports, it has found its way into the BDSM playbook as it is one of the perfect impact toys you can find.
The crop is perfect for spanking, as the impact increases blood flow to the skin; it increases sensitivity and can even cause spontaneous orgasms, but more on this later on. The crop is easy to control, as the shaft is flexible, and the end is often made from folded leather that delivers the blow on a concentrated area, intensifying sensations.
Shop BDSM Crops
===COLLECTION===
How to Select a BDSM Crop?
The crops come in varied shapes and sizes, and the entire selection process is exciting and builds anticipation. We share the key points to know when you choose a BDSM riding crop, so please check out the selection criteria we apply:
Material – most riding crops are made from leather or vegan leather and have metal or plastic shafts. Some models have a plastic shaft wrapped in leather or PU lining for a sexier look. The leather models look more serious and are very durable, as are the models made from metal shafts. The flat tip of the riding crop is usually made from folded leather and vegan leather, or it can be made from vinyl or even lace.
Crop length – the length of the crop is one of the first things you need to check, as it will determine the distance you can be at when you use it. The length of the shaft influences the flexibility, and a longer crop is usually more flexible, and you can tease your partner from a greater distance. It also allows for a sexier snap, as the shaft flexes and the tip makes a snapping sound when it hits the skin.
Handle design – the handle needs to be well made and easy to grip, as you won’t want your crop slipping from your hand when you play with it. Some models come with a wrist loop on the handle so you can drop the handle but not lose the crop during play. Some models have flogger-like strands on the handle, and these have a dual purpose – a crop and a flogger.
How to Use a BDSM Crop?
The crop is used to punish or tease a partner, as the tapping of the crop makes the skin more sensitive, at the same time producing a distinct smacking sound that many find arousing. Here we share some tips on how to use a BDSM crop:
Smack your partner – the crop is perfect for smacking your partner, especially on the butt, their thighs, breasts, and hands. You can also use lighter taps around the genitals, as they will increase skin sensitivity and improve blood flow, enhancing sensations.
Direct the play – a crop is also handy for directing the session, and you can use it to point to things and lightly smack your partner if they are disobedient.
Always engage in aftercare – aftercare is necessary when you engage in some power play or impact play. It includes physical care, like applying ice or soothing cream, and emotional care, like praising the partner and discussing the experience.
We covered the essential points of how to choose a BDSM crop. Our experts also shared some tips on how to use a crop, but we have written a lot more how-to choose and how-to-use guides for you. We also invite you to check out our sex toy store, and we promise you will be impressed with the selection of BDSM crops, canes, paddles, BDSM gear, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, and more.
FAQs
What crop is best for beginners?
A beginner should use a shorter crop with a broader tip, as it helps with aim and direction. Still, the short crop is more straightforward to maneuver, and you can still inflict a good smack without risking hurting your partner.
Where can I strike my partner with a crop?
The crop brings a stinging sensation that is localized on a smaller area. So, you can use a crop and smack your partner’s butt, thighs, legs, breasts, hands, and even genitalia. Please be aware that you need to apply light taps on the genitals, as you want to increase sensitivity and not hurt your partner.
Is it painful to use a crop?
The crop is the most beginner-friendly impact toy you can get, as it provides an excellent smacking sound and significant sting without too much pain. The flogger is the next-level impact toy, and the whip is the most painful of all.

The tickler is an essential sex toy used for sensation play. It is primarily used to tickle a partner and cause arousing sensations, which is a favored foreplay for many. There are various tickler models, and here we outline all you need to know on how to choose a BDSM tickler. We’ll also share expert-supported advice on how to use a tickler and what are the benefits of using this fun sex toy.
What is a BDSM Tickler?
The BDSM tickler is a sex toy that is used for erotic stimulation. It is usually a feather or a fur tip attached to a stick with a suitable handle. Some models feature a double-ended design, where one end is a tickler with a feather/fur tip, and the other features flogger-like strands or a folded leather crop-like end, allowing you to use it to arouse different sensations in your partner.

===COLLECTION===
How to Select a BDSM Tickler?
The market offers a broad range of BDSM ticklers for you, and it may be a challenge to select a model that would be perfect for you. Here are some helpful tips when selecting a BDSM tickler:
Handle – the first thing we check, and you should check, is the material the tickler is made of. The handle can be made from plastic or metal or have a woven design. Each material has its pros and cons; the plastic handle models are lightweight and easy to clean but can break if pressed too hard, while the metal models are easy to clean, durable, and suitable for temperature play.
Tip – the tip of the tickler is the business end, and this is the most important thing to note when selecting a tickler. The tip can be made from actual bird feathers like ostrich or peacock or from synthetic feathers or synthetic fur balls. The natural feathers look and feel exquisite and are more durable, while the synthetic feathers are more affordable.
Design – when we discuss design, we mean the design of the tip, as it can have one or two long feathers that are suitable for long, sensual strokes and fit perfectly on longer handles that allow you to tease your partner from a greater distance. The models with fluffy feather tips are more suited for fast tickling and are more suited for shorter handles.
Additional features – as we said, there are models with dual designs, and these usually include a tickler tip on one side and a flogger or a crop on the other side. There are also models with a dildo-shaped handle that allows you to have more sensations and combine experiences with one toy.
How to Use a BDSM Tickler?
Now that you know how to choose a bondage tickler, it is time to discuss some of the ways you can use this sexy toy. You can use a tickler on all parts of the body, but the sensual feathers are more effective on delicate skin like the nipples, breasts, clitoris, penis, and testicles. So, here are a few tips on how to use a tickler:
Build anticipation and arousal – use a tickler to tease your partner, preferably while they are restrained with a rope, handcuffs, or a spreader bar. The light, teasing strokes of the tickler will enhance the sensations and amplify pleasure.
Combine it with a blindfold – combining the tickler with a blindfold is perfect for enhancing the play. Sensory deprivation is known to enhance the other senses, and it is an ideal combination with a tickler, as you will leave them guessing where you’ll tease them next.
Combine with sensory toys – the tickler can be very effective when you combine it with toys designed for sensory play. We are, of course, talking about nipple clamps, nipple & clit suckers, clit clamps, or glass or metal toys that work with temperature play.
Tease erogenous zones – apply the tickler to all body parts. Our experts suggest you start with the less-sensitive parts and continue with more sensitive parts; start with teasing the hands and legs, shoulders and stomach, and continue with the neck, breasts, pubic area, and outer vaginal lips. You can also apply the tickler to a male partner, teasing their nipples, penis, and testicles.
The bondage tickler is a sensation toy, and it is perfect for light caressing your partner’s body and is excellent for light bondage play. We covered the basics of how to choose a BDSM tickler, and we also have a long list of helpful how-to-choose and how-to-use guides in our blog. Additionally, we invite you to browse our sex toy store, and we promise you will love our selection of BDSM gear, ticklers, canes, floggers, sex furniture, dildos, vibrators, male toys, and a lot more.

The whip is one of the more potent BDSM impact play tools, and it is particularly popular with people who enjoy some biting pain mixed with their pleasure. So, today, we will discuss BDSM whips, more particularly, what makes a quality bondage whip and how to choose a BDSM whip that will rock your world.
What is a BDSM Whip?
A whip is made from a handle, a long, slim tail that can be lashed, and a cracker/popper tip. Unlike a flogger that has many tails, the BDSM whip has a single tail that delivers a targeted impact and a stinging sensation. One can use a bondage whip to tease, stimulate, or punish their partner, and it all depends on how you use it and what effect you wish to achieve.

How to Select a BDSM Whip?
The bondage whip you select will influence how you can use it, and it takes a lot of practice to become proficient with a whip. But some models suit beginners, and models suit experts, so here we’ll outline all the critical features you need to know when choosing a BDSM whip:
Material – the material of the whip is one of the key metrics you need to use to select a quality whip. Make sure you are choosing a whip made from quality materials like leather, vegan leather, or quality synthetic materials like nylon or rubber. The different materials bring different effects; for example, the rubber whip will bounce from the skin, providing a satisfying sting; a leather whip will provide a thudding sensation and will last a long time, and nylon whips will provide sharp strikes.
Design – the basic whip has a handle, a tail, and a cracker tip. Still, the design can vary, and there are whips with loaded handles that provide extra weight for the wielder and require more skill to master. The whips with smaller or flexible handles require more masterful skills. The models with forked tails provide a more flogger-like sensation and are suited for people looking for the cracking sound but not the stinging pain of a bullwhip.
Length – the length of the whip is also critical for using it, and you need to be aware that the longer the whip you get, the more room you will need to use it properly. Additionally, the longer the whip, the more difficult it is to master, and it will take a long time to master it. An expert advice: a beginner-friendly whip should not be longer than 4 feet.
Versatility – a whip can be a versatile tool if you know how to use it. Apart from whipping and punishing your partner, you can use a whip to tease and tickle your partner and use it for a lightweight, sensual play.
We covered the main factors that can help with how to choose a BDSM whip. Our experts also prepared several other guides on how to use and select different BDSM tools and various sex toys. Additionally, we also have an excellent sex toy store, where we carry a fantastic selection of BDSM whips, canes, ticklers, BDSM tools, sex furniture, and so much more.
FAQs
Is whipping painful?
Whipping is one of the main corporeal punishments used in BDSM plays, as the whip is one of the most painful tools one can use. However, this strongly depends on the skill and intention of the dominant partner, as a whip can be used for pain and pleasure, especially the softer, flogger-like whips that provide a thudding sensation.
Can a beginner use a whip?
It takes a lot of time and practice to learn how to use a whip without posing a danger to your partner or yourself. That said, a beginner should use a soft tail whip like a dragon tail whip made from suede that will deliver the cracking sound without being too painful. A good way to practice is to hang a towel on two boxes placed apart from each other and practice hitting the towel with the tip of the whip without hitting the boxes. Practice by moving the boxes closer together, and once you are secure in your aim, you can use a whip with your partner.
Where to hit my partner with a whip?
The whip is a dangerous tool if not used correctly, so you must know where to hit your partner for the most significant effect and safety. Our experts advise you only stick to the fleshy parts of the body, like the butt and the upper thighs. You can hit your partner with a whip across the back, but be mindful to avoid the spine, the kidneys, and the tailbone.
How to clean a whip?
Cleaning a whip is straightforward, and it depends on the material the whip is made from. You can use a soft brush to clean away any residue from a leather whip and apply a leather conditioner to keep the whip in pristine condition. If you have a whip made from nylon or vegan leather, then you can use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe away any residue and leave the whip to dry. Always hang your whip to dry to avoid misshaping its form.
Where to store my whip?
The best way to store a whip is to hang it in a cool, dry place. We advise you to always hang your whips to prevent them from tangling or wrapping them, and make sure they are stored away from direct sunlight, heat, and excess moisture.
What is more painful: a whip or a crop?
It depends on the way you use these BDSM impact implements. It depends on what these are made from and the intention of the dominant partner. The whip travels faster and delivers a cracking sensation – the sonic boom from the tip, which can bring sharp, biting pain, but you can also be quite intense with a crop as well.

Spanking is one of the most fun, sexy, and deliciously playful impact plays, as it builds anticipation, warming sensations, and highlights role-playing games. The essential tool for the job is the paddle, as this impact toy delivers a mighty crack without a sore hand for the dominant partner. As paddles come in such a wide variety, here we bring you a detailed guide on how to choose a BDSM paddle, and we’ll share some tips on how to best utilize this sexy tool.
What is a BDSM Paddle?
The BDSM paddle is a rigid implement that a dominant partner uses to spank the submissive partner. As the paddle is stiff, it delivers a thudding sensation that spreads to a greater area, and the sensation penetrates the skin with satisfying heat. The act of using a paddle is called paddling, and it is the reward/punishment of choice for many BDSM practitioners. It is unlike flogging or whipping, as these provide a more of a stingy sensation localized to a smaller area.

How to Select a BDSM Paddle?
Choosing a bondage paddle is something you need to be diligent about, as the different models provide significantly different effects. First thing, before you select your BDSM paddle, think of your experience level and the impact you wish to achieve.
Also, discuss things with your partner and gauge their reaction to using a spanking paddle. For example, a lightweight model for some light spanking and a heavy, stiff paddle delivers a significant sting. So, here are the selection criteria we use when choosing a BDSM paddle:
Material – the material your paddle is made from is the key to the effect it will deliver. Wood is most commonly used for paddle making, but the effect depends on the type of wood used. Light woods like cherry, maple, beech, and sapele deliver a softer sting, while heavier woods like padauk, walnut, or rosewood and materials like Kevlar, rubber, or acrylic deliver a more significant sting. Paddles are also made from plastic, leather, fur, and even leather-encased steel. Make sure the paddle you are getting has rounded edges that will not break the skin.
Size – note that the size of the impact surface is directly related to the sting it will deliver, and the larger the surface, the less pronounced the sting will be. However, the more force you use to swing the paddle, the more pain you will cause.
Thickness – the thickness of the paddle affects the amount of force necessary to wield the paddle and the amount of force it transfers to the skin. A thin paddle does not need a lot of force, so it will provide a stinging sensation, while a thicker paddle will require more force and will provide a more thudding, more profound sensation.
Handle – the paddles come in varying lengths that also play a role in how you can use them. Our experts advise you to pay attention to the size of the handle and choose a smaller one if you have smaller hands, and vice versa.
Design – most paddles have the same basic design with a handle and the paddle section. However, some very creative manufacturers have created aesthetically appealing models with some design features. We are talking about shape cutouts that allow you to leave imprints on your sub’s skin, like words or specific patterns. Also, wooden paddles often have holes or cutouts that provide a sexy “whoosh” sound during use. You can also get unique designs, like studded leather models and whatnot.
Our experts outlined the main criteria that you need to know when selecting a bondage paddle. However, we also have a large array of guides on how to choose and use different BDSM tools and sex toys. We also invite you to check out our excellent sex toy store, where we carry a fantastic selection of BDSM paddles, whips, canes, ticklers, BDSM tools, sex furniture, and so much more.
FAQs
Is paddling painful?
Paddling can be sensual and painful, but it depends on the intention of the dominant partner. For example, if you get a lighter paddle made from a flexible material, you can provide a more sensual, erotic paddling/spanking to your partner. But if you get a heavy-duty wooden or acrylic paddle, then you can deliver a deep muscular sensation that can be painful even hours after the spanking, which your sub may rightfully deserve.
Can a beginner use a spanking paddle?
Anyone can use a spanking paddle, but you need to know a few things before you go to paddle your partner. Practice on a pillow and make sure you have reasonable control over your arm, as using a paddle is very different than spanking your partner with your palm. Ensure you get a spanking paddle with rounded edges made from light materials, as it is easier to wield, and there is less of a risk of hurting your partner.
Where do I spank my partner with a paddle?
Spanking with a paddle is very different than spanking with your palm or using a flogger, crop, or whip. Before you start paddling your partner, you need to consider their health condition, any possible issues, and their pain tolerance level. After you openly discuss this and you are both in agreement, you can proceed with paddling. The safest body parts are the butt and the upper thighs, as well as the breasts and genitals. However, you must be more careful when spanking breasts and genitals, as there are a lot of blood vessels in these areas, and you can cause some harm. Don’t paddle joints like ankles, knees, elbows, the spine, and tailbone. Also, please note that bruises are a common occurrence with paddling, especially with fair-skinned submissives.
How to clean a paddle?
Cleaning a paddle is very simple, as you only need to wipe your paddle with an antibacterial cleaner to remove any residue and wipe it again with a dry cloth. If your paddle is made from leather, you can apply some leather conditioner after cleaning it and then store it away in your BDSM tool bag. If your paddle is made from varnished wood, you can use mineral oil, and for any synthetic material, cleaning it is straightforward, as you only need to wipe it with a damp cloth, leave it to dry, and store it in a safe place.
