We talked to the Huffington Post about the best sex toys for menopausal women, and we had a lot to say!
Check out the article by Ann Brenoff HERE and read about our fav picks below!
H/T to our friends at the Pleasure Chest in Los Angeles for flagging this update to the classic Magic Wand. This baby packs just as much punch as the original but eliminates the need to be tethered to a plug. The Magic Wand Rechargeable actually can be used both cordless and plugged in (a kind of “plug-and-play,” if you will.) For the uninitiated, the original Magic Wand, around since 1968, is the gold standard of vibrators and the ability to use it in locations with no handy electrical socket has already won over many loyalists. We join the chorus though of wishing it was waterproof. As an aside, we love this wink-wink on the Magic Wand's website: "Whether you are looking to soothe an aching shoulder or want a more 'personal' massage experience, the Magic Wand massager is the proven answer that has earned Americans’ trust and rave reviews for years." Amen to that. $135 for the rechargeable.
Competition can always be found chomping at the heels of genius, and vibrators are no exception to this rule. The Palm Power is a small, powerful cordless massager that rivals the power of the Magic Wand. We play no favorites. Check both out.
3. We-Vibe Wand
If it's really waterproof you want, check this out. We'd hate losing readers to electrocution. A word of caution though about thrashing about in slippery showers and tubs: Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries among seniors, says the National Council on Aging. Be safe out there.
We all know that we shouldn't stop exercising as we get older, right? Well, that's also true when it comes to your vaginal muscles. Building up muscle strength with kegel balls helps maintain the elasticity of the vaginal wall which, in turn, helps strengthen orgasms. $60.
5. Eroscillator
OK, so vibrators aren't your thing. Consider an Eroscillator which, rather than vibrating, moves back and forth ever so slightly while still providing a powerful sensation. A distinction without a difference? Perhaps. $200.
Dilators, not dildos, you sillyhead. These are slim-sized and especially for women who are going through menopause -- a time when they are likely experiencing some tightening of the hooha. Sex is no fun if it hurts, you feel me?
And while perhaps not sex toys per se, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention some of the vaginal lubes out there designed to do the trick when your body doesn't cooperate.
Sliquid Satin is designed as a daily vaginal moisturizer and our Pleasure Chest pals say it is one of the best water-based lubes out there. And there is Uberlube, a silicone lubricant enriched with vitamin E. As a bonus, it comes in a classy glass bottle with a convenient pump top.
