When was the last time you felt your way to a new sensation? In case you didn't know, solo play doesn’t just feel good, it is legit good for you! Take your time and savour the sensations, be in the experience of exploring your pleasure and just feel it out. Cliterally. 

1. Set The Mood

Vulvas feel the most pleasure when the whole body is aroused. Fire up your senses to stimulate sexual arousal in a comfortable and relaxing space.

Hot Tip: Try slipping into something silky soft, cue up your favourite sex playlist, treat yourself to some dark chocolate or pistachio ice-cream to increase the pleasure centres in your brain and ease into pleasure with some sensual foreplay.

2. Go Slow & Steady

Unlike their penis counterparts, vulvas take 4 times as long to get blood flow in. Take some time to explore your entire vulva and touch each individual part to find what makes you go 'OOooOH'.

Hot Tip: You can start with massaging the labia lips, gently cupping the vulva, or making figure-eights on your clitoris. Experiment with different pressures as you go along and notice what makes you feel good.

3. Lube It Up

Lube is great for sex, naturally, it also comes in handy for masturbation. While the vagina self-lubricates, adding some extra lubrication can help reduce friction and introduce a smoother more pleasurable experience.

Hot Tip: Use your fingers to spread the lube around sensually along your intimate parts. This can add another euphoric level of sensory experience to your stimulation.

4. Get Cliterate

Packed with over 10,000 nerve endings and being the only organ made solely for pleasure, stimulating the clitoris is the best way to reach an orgasm for more than 80% of vulva owners who won't orgasm through vaginal stimulation alone.

Hot Tip: Using any (clean) tool you fancy, whether it's your fingers or a sex toy, try rubbing, making circles, stroking, tapping or making pulsing motions to stimulate your clit.

 5. Good Vibes Only

Modern vibrators, like life-changing clit suckers that mimics sucking, stroking, and tapping, or internal ones like rabbit vibrators that give you eye-rolling orgasms, help to elevate the sensations happening throughout your body. There are over 10 different types of orgasms a woman can tap into.

Psst, there are even toys with warming functions like the Kira Warming Clit Sucker, that can help to enhance blood flow to the clitoris to enhance sensitivity, arousal and get you to that OHH-gasmic experience double the time!

Hot Tip: If you're just beginning your pleasure journey, it's best to start using your vibrating self-care tools at the lowest intensity and gradually increase the sensation. If even the lowest setting feels overwhelming, try using the vibrator over your underwear or a towel to lessen the intensity. Remember to listen to your body and gradually ease yourself into the pleasurable sensations, finding the tempo that suits you best.
