For those who like to do things themselves, it can feel empowering and resourceful to get off using something already on hand. Repurposing household items as sex toys also allows you to save money, making it popular with those horny and on a budget.
Words of Caution
Never use items that are sharp, breakable, may leave remnants behind, or are likely to hurt you in any way. A safe sex toy is a smooth and durable object that has been properly cleaned and covered. Ensure any insertables include a base to avoid losing your toys into the depths of your orifices. Especially when it comes to anal, absolutely never insert a toy without a flared base!
Always wash and sanitize objects before use. You can’t properly sanitize wood since it’s too porous, and food items shouldn’t be inserted into the vagina without protection. Any organic materials can and will break down inside you and cause an infection.
Put a condom on it!
This goes for all insertables, every single time. It even applies to some non-insertables. This protects you from any bacteria that may be on the object, sharp angles, and makes it much easier to slide in. Don’t skimp on the lube.
Do not use anything that belongs to or that you share with another person. Most items repurposed as pervertables should be retired and replaced. Keep it sanitary and be respectful.
BDSM Pervertables
- Stockings
- Scarves
- Belts
- Clothespins
- Ruler
- Wooden spoon
- Pet collar and leash
Stockings and scarves make great impromptu blindfolds, restraints, and mouth gags. When playing with these items, keep a pair of safety shears handy so they can easily be cut away if the knots become stuck and the restraints impede blood flow.
Belts are one of the sexiest tools to use in the heat of the moment. Wooden spoons are popular for impact play, and there are plenty of sizes for any preference. Create your own makeshift sex wedge by using chair pillows and furniture. Clothespins serve as nipple clamps and can be affixed to any sensitive fleshy area; thighs, the side of breasts, or even labia.
Vibrating Pervertables
- Electric toothbrush
- Back massager
- Game controller
- Washing machine
- Cell phone
The spin cycle might be one of the oldest vibrators out there.
Try including different laundry items and play with load sizes. Cell phones have now become one of the most popular pervertables given the breadth of apps that will turn your phone into a vibrator. Discreetly listed under the "Health & Fitness" section of the iTunes Store, many of these apps are free.
Be sure to clean and cover any of these items if they will be coming into contact with skin. And it should go without saying, but any objects with electrical currents are for outside use only! Don’t electrocute your pussy.
Dildo Pervertables
- Cucumber
- Banana
- Hairbrush
- Candle
- Flashlight
- Massage stones
Produce is the most popular pervertable, probably because it’s cheap, accessible, and can be carved into the perfect shape. Cucumbers are firm and offer a variety of lengths and girths, but almost any vegetable can work.
To reiterate, ALWAYS wash and cover your DIY dildos with a condom! Don’t insert anything without a flared base and avoid items that cause suction inside, such as empty bottles.
Sensory Pervertables
- Bathtub
- Showerhead
- Ice cubes
- Paraffin candles
- TENS electricity machine
- Menthol rub
- Ginger
- Pearls
Utilizing the bathtub or a detachable showerhead can elicit incredible orgasms. A warm, rushing flow of water feels great on the clit, and you can play with different water pressure levels, spray settings, and temperatures.
Ginger causes a mild and harmless burning sensation, making it popular amongst fetish enthusiasts for inserting into the vagina or anus (an activity called figging). With this and any new erotic activities, start mild and go slow while checking in, then build to stronger sensations.
With a little imagination and much precaution, anything can be a pervertable! Not into the DIY approach? Check out our selection of high-quality lesbian sex toys that are sure to be a win.
