A customer asked today what vibe I’d recommend for him to use on his penis, specifically on the Frenulum. Here is what I told him, but basically I think you could use just about any vibrator to put a buzz on your penis.. any part of it!1- Hand Solo. This is a vibe esp. for the penis and can provide a lot of stimulation on the underside where you want it. Also this is one of the very few vibes designed for penis use.but I think some other non-male specific toys could work great on that area too:2- Fukuoku Fits right your finger tip so you can use it to stroke yourself and apply direct vibration right where you want it.3- Magic Touch Bullet A small little vibe that would also wrk nicely on that areaKeep those questions coming!
The Progressive Pleasure Club is a network of independent sex shops dedicated to helping people make informed decisions about sexuality products. They are committed to the promotion of accurate and honest pleasure-based sexuality education, and to offering products that meet the highest standards of safety.
This is a recent question that the feminist sex toy store in Chicago, Early to Bed, just discussed on their blog, and it’s definitely some information worth archiving and passing on.
Water based lubes: most can last at least a year or more. To keep your lube as fresh as possible, we recommend keeping it in the bottle in came in and keeping it closed when you are not using it.
Liquid Silk and Maximus are the only water-based lubes that have printed “Best By” dates and right now those dates are in the year 2016 so if one 50ml bottle lasts you five years, it will still be ok to use. Slippery Stuff is good for two years. Sliquid lubes are good for 30 months from the date on the bottom of the bottle (see below).
Oil-Based lubes: (only recommended for solo-penis action) can go rancid, so if it smells off you might what to chuck it. It’s not gonna kill you, but it could leave a lingering off scent on your wang.
Silicone lubes: should be “good” for years. There really isn’t anything in those that can go bad.
If you see any discrepancies or have any additional information, I will be updating this!
