Customer Christy Bree reported used to hide her sex toys, “But now I have a better partner,” she stated. “With my ex, I hid a very simple basic vibrator. It wasn’t even phallic in shape, and I only used it to vibe my clit. But I was anxious about sharing it with him. Then he found it and immediately wanted me to get rid of it because it was ‘bigger’ than him.”
“I know a lot of people can feel insecure when toys are brought into the picture, they feel like they aren’t good enough to please their partner,” Hope said.
TooTimid offers the following advice to people that are thinking of having the conversation with their partner: “it’s with utmost importance that women explain the toy does not, and could not ever replace the real feel of the person you love. Even though there might be a toy involved, it’s still your partner delivering the pleasure! It’s all about having good communication.”
