The best toys for your self-love time (female edition)

Sex toys add an element of playfulness and fun to both your love life with a partner and your self care. Women's toys are usually girly, fun and their pink and purple colors have always attracted me since I knew they existed.

Talking about my personal experience, some evenings when I'm particularly tired I won't even think to get myself off if not with one of my trusted vibrating tools that I know will do the 90% of the job for me. Not to mention often I don't have all this time to spend on my, ahem, sexual wellness: family and long work shifts don't help. I'm lazy sometimes, but a good orgasm has great benefits on my well-being: I feel less stressed and deal better with PMS mood swings. So why should I give up?

Here are my favourite props for a self-love session that makes you feel like at a spa:

• An insertable love egg or a lay on vibrator. Or vibrating panties! In other words: something that you insert in your vagina (with a good dose of water based lube) or put against your clit, set on your favorite vibration level, and then you forgot about it while reading erotica, watching your porn or why not, going shopping or taking a walk in the woods. This really helps me when exhausted from both my local work, writing at my blog and taking care of my elders. My favourite right now is the Lovense Lush.

• Fun toys, colorful and in fantasy shapes. If you aren't so much in the mood perhaps you don't want to reach for that super realistic dildo. Instead, fun and colorful toys feel less intimidating and you might find yourself wanting to try them just for how curious their shapes look. Will this curve really stimulate my G-spot? How would this beaded or ridged texture feel on the skin? Yes, as a toy reviewer I often try them for the love of science! As for fun and colorful toys, luckily for me I'm gonna review The Dodil, that not only comes in a bright beautiful teal color, but also once reheated with hot water becomes moldable and you can shape it and reshape many times with your own hands! Can't wait! review coming soon.

• Feminist, ethical porn. I know, this is not a sex toy, but it's obviously related to the subject...Recently I discovered I prefer my porn to be the most realistic possible: I'm tired of seeing impossibly huge boobs and perfect cosmetic surgery chicks I will never,ever resemble to as much as my Daddy Dom is tired to see huge Viagra-boosted penises that get him anxious in comparison to his own.

My favorite porn videos at the moment are the user submitted ones at Lustery.com: here you see real life normal couples having sex in an intimate, authentic, not-fake-at-all way. Folks you see here are beautiful, but not models: they could totally be your neighbors or friends! There is not only romantic content however: there is everything to satisfy most kinks like spanking, light choking and so on; also I need to give a big shout out to Lustery for being one of the very fev resources online where I was able to find female POV videos! I was so frustrated to search forever and only finding male POV porn that isn't so helpful to the fantasy when alone...
