5 Household Items You Can Use As Sex Toys

The sex toy industry is a billion-dollar market. Yet some of the very first sex toys we’re exposed to are simple products kept around the house. So if you’re shy about buying a vibrator or can’t afford a dildo, there are plenty of DIY sex toys. All you need to do is look around the house.

Before we go through the list, it’s important to note that prior to using any foreign object in/on your lady parts, it must be sanitized and ideally covered with a condom or used over another layer of fabric. Otherwise, it could cause irritation or abrasions. Check out some of our favorite household sex toys that, if used correctly (and safely), will give you a mind-blowing orgasm.

* Electric toothbrush

The same vibration capabilities meant to keep your teeth clean can also be used to get you off. Using the non-bristled end, the vibrating handle can be laid against the space in between your labium when in the "on" position.

* Food

Specifically, fruits and vegetables. There’s a reason they use bananas to teach people how to put on a condom. Pretty much anything resembling a penis can be used for penetration. Cucumber, carrot, banana, zucchini and Japanese eggplants are all great choices. You can also try rolling a medium-size round fruit like a plum, tomato or clementine, in a circular motion over your clit for some fruitful stimulation. Just avoid hot peppers. Any capsaicin leakage could cause severe pain in those super-sensitive regions.

* Spoon

Find a tablespoon and place the rounded bottom part on your clit and rub it out in a circular motion. What’s nice about the spoon is that there are no sharp edges and it’s super-smooth against the skin. Just wash it after use.

* Ice cubes

While perfect to chill your favorite cocktail, ice cubes are great to tease and tantalize your partner. During foreplay, slowly run a cube over nipples, then down the torso, then down the happy trail, and see how long they can withstand the icy-cold sensation. Also, try sucking on an ice cube before kissing or giving oral for a whole new sensation.

* Cellphone

Is there anything an iPhone can’t do? You can turn your phone into a vibrator simply by downloading a vibration app. There are many out there like iBrate and iVibe. Most of these apps have various intensity levels to play around with. It’s so simple and innocent-looking. Remember to use it over clothing or try putting your vibrating phone in a sock and using it directly on your skin to prevent infection.
