Cute Tongue Vibrators - What Works, Worth It, and How to Use Them
(Yes, we’ll keep it funny. And yes, we’ll keep it useful.)
Hi guys — welcome back! If you’re new here, I’m Nadia and this is the space where we get hella real about sex. Certainly we are getting real about dildos today — do-it-yourself dildos, that is. If all that sounds a little wild (and kind of fun), stay with me. Here’s what’s safe, sensible and a bit cheeky about using everyday objects as improvised toys — and what to avoid at all costs. You will have learned how to improvise responsibly, how to prevent pleasure from becoming a medical drama.
Perhaps your top toy is at your ex’s home. Your wallet is perhaps on a diet. Maybe you’re curious and resourceful. Sure, DIY dildos help cut costs — but they’re more about being creative in the clutch. If it’s done thoughtfully, a condom-covered and well-lubed household object might do the trick more safely.
But: “DIY” doesn’t mean “reckless.” Fun, after all, itself has some simple rules. Read them. Follow them. You’ll thank me later.
The two non-negotiables: condom + lube
Before you even open the drawer full of random items, assemble these two things:
A condom.
Use only new unbroken condoms to encase your make- shift toy at all times. Condoms shield you from bacteria that can live in porous materials and stop small pieces of whatever off into sensitive tissue. Don’t re-use condoms. Do not use one that has expired or is damaged. That barrier is the MVP here.
Lube cuts down on friction, helps prevent tearing and helps to keep the condom in one piece. Vaginal play needs generous lube. Anal play requires even more — as a good general rule, you’ll need about twice the amount for anal as for vaginal. Since the anus doesn’t self-lubricate, don’t be stingy. For optimal excitement, lube up the toy /condom and orifice for easy entry.
Quick how-to: Put the condom on and lube it and the point of entry (vagina or anus) up, then go slow. If anything feels painful, stop.
Here’s a starter list of things people use instead of lube, but again: condom + lube + common sense.
Pick something of a size and shape you feel comfortable with. Effortless is more valuable than new. Cover completely with a condom, lubricate and gentle trial.
This is critical. Some things are an absolute no-go — they can cut you, break off or cause infection.
All objects with an edge (kitchen), or point.
Fragile objects (candles that can break, brittle plastic pieces).
Porous materials that can host bacteria or mold (bare wood, some foams).
Soft foods that could break apart and leave debris (some unprotected fruits).
Anything you can’t sterilize or completely cover with a condom.
The tissue within the vagina and anus is fragile. Tears and infections can come swiftly. Don’t experiment with questionable items.
For a softer, more enjoyable DIY toy that’s closer to what you can actually imagine sliding up inside you versus something floppy and (off-comforting), here are ways you can “pad” up a good safe base object:
Begin with a smooth handle (hairbrush, makeup brush handle).
Pad it with soft non porous material - can wrap in a few layers of c l cling film + silicone sleeve (soft) if available (no porous foams).
Cover with condom and lube. The padding equalizes firmness and limits pressure points.
Don’t attempt to make intricate molds or use heat-melt plastics — they can add toxins, cause rough edges. Keep it simple and safe.
Clean all prior to use (soap and warm water). Even if you are going to use a condom, begin clean.
Change the condom between partners or holes.
Listen to your body. Pain, burning, or unusual discharge? Pause and consult with a healthcare professional.
When sharing, if using a new condom is out of the question or not practical, then use a new toy (or at least a clean one) every time or sterilize the surface. STIs can also be passed through shared items.
It’s best to keep condoms and lube in a cool, dry storage area.
Should you ever experience prolonged discomfort, bleeding or signs of infection (fever, unusual discharge and severe pain), get ahold of your doctor.
If you’re utilizing DIY toys witht a partner, talk about boundaries and consent. Transparency in what you’re using and how you are cleaning it counts. Don’t presume consent — ask for it.
DIY dildos can be an acceptable stand-in in a pinch — when, and only when, they’re created with respect for your own body. The two sacred rules: condom + lube! Opt for smooth, fixed items; steer clear of anything sharp, porous or breakable; and don’t MacGyver your way into potentially fraught territory.
If you’re keeping it sensible and slow and well-lubricated, you’ll be O.K. And if you need a more permanent solution, but still don’t feel comfortable buying your own silicone bunny with AA batteries online, treat yourself to an actual toy someday — these are made with comfort and safety in mind. But until then, improvise smartly.
