  • The Jackhammer

    This is a graphic of what the jackhammer sex position looks like, with a text that covers how to reenact the position yourself. The receiver lays on their back, lifting their hips to raise their legs over their head. Once their butt is in the air, they can spread their legs or push them forward above their head. The giver stands above them, squatting and penetrating vaginally or anally.

  • What are Grinder Sex Toys?

    What are Grinder Sex Toys?

    Navigating the world of sex toys is like navigating through a candy store — the options are endless, and there’s something new every month! But sex doesn’t have to be complicated and neither do your sex toys, so if you’re here, you’ve likely just learned about Grinders and want more information. So, let’s dive right in.

     

    How many times have you stopped and looked at something in a store or online and questioned, who in the world is actually using something like that? With Grinders, we are taking back the primitive act of humping — something we were born knowing how to do, and adding some pizzazz.  These toys may seem simple in design, and you might even question how good can they really feel… but they have the potential to take your pleasure to a whole new level. In this article, we’ll cover the world of grinders and grinder rings — what they are, how they work, and why they’re worth considering if you’re looking to explore your sexual pleasure in a new and exciting way.

     

    So get comfortable and let’s dive in.

     

    What are Grinder Sex Toys?

    Grinders, also known as humping toys, are an exciting new-ish addition to the world of sexual pleasure. These toys are designed to provide stimulation to the genitals by rubbing on a textured surface or intermittently applying pressure to a vibrating toy. They typically consist of an ergonomic design that contours to your body and stimulates one area or your entire genitalia.

     

    While you could very well lay your toy out on a flat surface, a lot of people tend to use their grinder by strapping it onto a pillow  (or anything that is round and strap-able). This allows for the grinder to be easily straddled as it creates stability and curves into your body. Using a grinder as a humping toy can lead to more intense orgasms and heightened levels of pleasure, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy non-penetrative sex.

     

    …What About Grinder Rings?

    While grinders can easily be used in solo or partner play, a grinder ring is a sex toy designed for couples to use during intercourse. It is essentially a tool that is designed to be worn around the base of the penis, leaving the shaft of the penis exposed. Think a cock ring with pizzazz. The idea is that the wearer’s partner can grind their clitoris or labia onto the textured part of the ring, allowing the person to enjoy the sensation of grinding against each other during intercourse. The device may also have a vibrating component that can provide additional stimulation for both partners. Grinder rings can add dimension to sexual play between you and your partner, especially if you’re both interested in exploring new sensations together.

     

    Different Types of Grinders:

    Grinders are an amazing toy for exploring and experiencing what feels best without much thought. Basic grinders are designed to stimulate the exterior of your body, humping without insertion. However, we can bend the rules a bit. In this section, we’ll explore some of the most popular types of grinders and what makes them special.

     

    • Silicone Grinders: There is a whole world of body safe silicone based grinder and grinder rings that would blow your mind, endless intricate textures in different firmness’ with custom color combinations. Indie creators are even producing fantasy inspired dildos with imaginative designs ranging from mythical creatures to whimsical realism. Silicone designs can also consist of a grinder mat and ring all in one. Giving all the benefits of a grinder ring with the extended surface area of a wearable grinder.
    • Pillow Grinders: Pillow grinders are designed to be placed between the legs or against a flat surface for humping. They are typically made of soft, plush material and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pillow grinders may have a built-in vibrator or can be used with a separate vibrator for added stimulation.
    • Wearable Grinders: Wearable grinders can be worn like underwear for hands-free humping. These devices typically have a built-in vibrator and could be worn during intercourse. Wearable grinders come in a variety of styles, including thongs, briefs, and harnesses.
    • Handheld Grinders: Handheld grinders are a type of grinder that fit in the palm of your hand. These devices typically have a compact, discreet design and are easy to use for solo play or with a partner. Handheld grinders may have a built-in vibrator or be made of a soft textured material.
    • Strap-on Grinders: Strap-on grinders are a type of grinder that can be attached to a strap-on harness for humping. They would be worn with the ribbed material facing outward to provide pleasure to your partner. These devices typically have a flat base that can be secured to the harness and can come with a built-in vibrator for added stimulation. Strap-on grinders are a great option for couples looking to explore new sensations together.
    • Insertable Grinders: These can be any combination of the grinder styles listed above, but with an insertable element to provide you with internal and external stimulation. Some come large enough to mimic riding a full dildo, while providing an area to grind on as well. While others may have a smaller insertable and are more focused on the grinding and humping aspect of the toy.

    How to Choose the Right Grinder for Yourself:

    Choosing the right grinder is crucial for enhancing your experience. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing the right type of toy for yourself:

     

    ⦁ Size: When it comes to wearables or grinder rings, the size of the grinder is an important consideration. If the ring is too small or too tight, it can be uncomfortable or even painful to wear. On the other hand, if the ring is too big, it may not provide enough stimulation. Be sure to measure yourself or your partner to ensure that you choose the right size.

    ⦁ Material: Grinders and Grinder rings come in a variety of materials, including silicone, rubber, and metal. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to consider your needs and preferences. For example, silicone rings tend to be more comfortable and flexible, while metal rings are more durable and provide more intense stimulation.

    ⦁ Vibration: Some grinders vibrate, while others don’t vibrate at all. While all of these options are personal preference — you’re going to want to experiment with this one!

    ⦁ Texture: Some grinders come with textured or ribbed surfaces to enhance stimulation. Consider whether you or your partner prefer a more smooth or textured surface for maximum pleasure. Some people love texture, while others love a more smooth surface that mimics the tongue.

     

    So what type of Grinder or Grinder Ring should you get?

    Deciding between grinder and grinder rings can be a tough choice, but don’t worry – we’re here to help you figure out which one is right for you.

     

    First, let’s recap grinders. These toys are designed to be held between your legs or against a flat surface, allowing you to grind, thrust and hump against them for stimulation. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, as well as vibrational settings.

    On the other hand, grinder rings are designed for partner play. They feature a hole for the penis to slip into, allowing the partner with the vulva to grind against the ring for added pleasure while being penetrated –they too come with added features like vibration settings.

     

    So which one should you choose? Well, first decide on your experience — are you interested in the grinder for solo play, or a grinder ring for partner play? If you’re looking for a toy that you can use solo, a grinder will be your best friend. On the other hand, if you want a toy you can use with your partner, the grinder ring will be the most perfect fit. When it comes to shape, size, and material, a lot of people who first ease into this realm tend to choose the basic silicone grinder, which curves and contours to your body and by strapping to a pillow or folded up blanket. These do tend to be very textured, so keep that in mind, along with the fact that your choices for vibration options will be limited if you decide to go down this route (which is not a negative thing, btw). If you plan on exploring different materials, you’ll find that most of them come with vibrational settings, but they’re likely to be handheld, and options for a variety in texture will be limited.

     

    Ultimately, the best way to figure out which toy you should purchase is by reflecting on your current toy collection or preference — what kind of material do you enjoy the most? Textured or no texture? Vibration or no vibration? Handheld or hands-free?  Try out different options and see what feels best for your body — you’ll never know until you try! Something you thought you didn’t like might even catch you by surprise.

     

    Effectively Using a Grinder:

    Grinders add dimension to any sexual experience without much thought — just thrust as you were born to do, heh. That’s great and all, but where do you start? We’re here to help you get the most out of your grinder so the juice is worth the squeeze.

     

    ⦁ First things first, choose the perfect grinder for you — think size, shape, material and the overall experience you’re looking for… whether that’s solo or partner play. Then, get ready to dive into an experience like no other.

    ⦁ Once you’ve got your grinder, it’s time to get yourself ready. A little bit of lube can go a long way in making sure everything feels great. Then, get into the perfect position, whether that’s between your legs or against a flat or curved surface. A lot of people strap their grinders to a pillow or folded up blanket. If your grinder doesn’t give you that option, some people put their grinders on the arm rest of a couch.

    ⦁ Now it’s time to turn up the heat! Start with a gentle vibration (or pressure) and work your way up to more intense sensations. Take your time and enjoy the ride. Experiment with different levels or pressure, or different angles. Allow yourself to really explore and feel the depth of the experience as a whole. You’ll find that the more you allow yourself to be present with your body and the experience, you’ll explore new ways to heighten your sensations.

    ⦁ And don’t forget to clean up afterwards! Just a quick wash with plant-based soap and dry will have your grinder ready for your next adventure.

     

    Allow yourself to really explore and feel the depth of the experience as a whole. You’ll find that the more you allow yourself to be present with your body and the experience, the more you experiment and practice,  you’ll explore new ways to heighten your sensations.

     

    The Final Word

    In conclusion, grinders and grinder rings are fantastic sex toys that offer unique sensations and endless possibilities for sexual exploration.

     

    Whether you’re looking for solo pleasure or partner play, grinder sex toys can add dimension and take your sexual experiences to a whole new level. Regardless of whether or not grinders come highly recommend, the experience will always be a personal one. We know very well that what works for one might not work for the other.

    How To Clean Your Sex Toys

    Whether you’re a dildo connoisseur, or just dipping your toes into the realm of sex toys for the first time, keeping your sexy toys squeaky clean is non-negotiable. After every use – yep, every single use. It’s kind of like picking up your dog’s poop! It’s part of being responsible, for you and anyone else involved.

    So cleaning your sex toys might seem like a no-brainer, and for the most part it is – but let me hit you with some crucial recommendations to ensure optimal hygiene and longevity. First and foremost, let’s start with an important question – are your toys porous or non-porous? Porous toys would be TPR/TPE, Elastomer, PVC, Jelly, rubber, vinyl and cyberskin. Non-porous toys would be silicone, glass and stainless steel. We recommend against porous toys because bacteria, fungus and mildew will make your toys it’s new home no matter how much you clean and/or sanitize them. And no, simply washing the surface of your sex toy won’t be enough – these microorganisms have the capability to penetrate deep into the core of your toy. So… why take the risk?

    Preparation

    You’re going to want a bucket filled with hot water, and mild plant-based antibacterial soap. Some people opt for sex toy cleaners – do approach this with caution. Do your due diligence and read the ingredients to make sure it’s all the good stuff – water-based, paraben and sulfate free and all natural. You want products that have been vetted time and time again.

    Washing

    Simple Method

    There’s multiple ways to approach cleaning your toys, but the golden rule is to “keep it simple, stupid”. Fill a bucket with some hot water and mild plant-based antibacterial soap, and wash your toys for a minimum of 20 seconds. Some even prefer using a soft-bristled brush, especially if you have textured sex toys like these grinders. This is the cheapest and most effective option, but some people like to use sex toy cleaners – again – approach this with caution. Do not throw your motorized toy into the bucket.

    Dishwasher

    Did you know you could also use the dishwasher to clean your sex toys? If you go down this route – do not use dish-washing detergent. Always use non-toxic plant-based natural soap. This method only works with non-motorized toys; silicone, glass, and stainless steel, so do keep that in mind.

    UV Light

    Using a UV light to sanitize sex toys has gained some popularity over the last few years — where light penetrates through your toy and has the ability to damage the genetic material (RNA) of microorganisms including viruses and bacteria. When the genetic material is damaged, the microorganisms are unable to replicate or reproduce, rendering them non-infectious. However, while it has gained popularity there is also some controversy that comes with it, as always, do your own research!

    Deep Clean

    Give your non-motorized sex toys a deep clean by boiling them for a few minutes. Keep in mind that while this does kill bacteria or viruses, it doesn’t necessarily clean them of bodily fluids and such. Before deep cleaning, make sure to bathe them in hot water with mild anti-bacterial plant-based soap.

    Drying

    Drying your sex toys post-cleaning is king — preventing mold and extending its longevity. Believe it or not, your toys can get moldy. Even platinum-grade silicone can get moldy if you slack on the drying process. Use a paper towel or clean cloth to make sure those toys are bone dry!

    Storage

    After you’ve nailed the cleaning and drying routine, don’t just chuck your toys in a drawer. They’re magnets for dust and dirt, and when it’s go time, it’s go time. You won’t be thrilled about spending another 15 minutes on another clean-up mission. Use the case your toy came in, or invest in a sealed storage container.

    So, whether you’re a solo rider or spicing it up with partner play, the importance of cleaning, thoroughly drying and securely storing your sex toys cannot be overstated. Your body deserves the best treatment, and part of that is making sure your toys are in tip-top shape. Regular cleaning doesn’t just keep things hygienic; it also saves you from any nasty surprises down the road. Plus, sex toys aren’t pocket change, so who wouldn’t want their favorite toys sticking around for the long haul? You will thank yourself later for all that extra TLC.
