Warning: there may be batteries. There may be buzzing. There will definitely be a Batman-shaped cock ring.
This week Jay-Jay Feeney and sex and relationship coach Melissa Vranjes tip a giant box of toys onto the bed and work out what couples should actually be playing with. Whether you're a total beginner or your bedside drawer is already full, Mel walks through how to choose a toy based on the sensation you want, why a toy is never "competition" for your partner, and how shopping together can open up the best conversations about pleasure.
We cover:
- Why toys aren't a sign something's missing (and how they help through pregnancy, perimenopause and erectile changes)
- Starting with the feeling you want: vibration, suction, sensation play, a bit of spanking...
- Dual-stimulation toys, pinpoint vibrators and why "solo" toys work brilliantly for two
- Rings, strokers and double-ended toys, with live (clothed!) demos
- Wearables, remote apps, and Mel's very sneaky cafe date with Steve
- The biggest mistake couples make when bringing a toy into bed
- Cleaning, materials, lube, charging and why you should never buy your toys from a bargain site
Plus: Jay-Jay figures out why toys have always made her feel awkward. Mel's mum makes her bed and finds a surprise. A dildo comes back from the bin. And we deliver a sex swing review nobody asked for.
