Let’s face it: high quality sex tech can be expensive— totally worth the investment, but expensive nonetheless. In this blog post, we’re going to explore some low-tech, do-it-yourself hacks for sexual pleasure! Here are some surprising ways you can create a dildo, masturbation sleeve or bedroom accessory with common household items:

Stuffed Animals

Make your own dildo by cutting the limb off of an old stuffed animal, remove some of the stuffing and insert the handle of a hairbrush (or any safe tool with a handle like a hammer or a kitchen utensil). Wrap with duct tape to create a firm phallus shape and cover it with a body-safe condom or barrier.

Build your own masturbation sleeve with an old stuffed animal and a roll of duct tape. Hog tie the stuffed animal and secure with duct tape. Put a condom on and enjoy.

Food

Phallic-shaped foods make great dildos! But there are a few essential DO’s and DON'Ts for sex toys made of food:

• DON’T use anything that can break off inside your body

• DO Only use foods that are free of pesticides and preservatives,

• DON’T use anything that leaks

• DO Always use a condom or body-safe barrier
  
  The best fruit dildos can be made with cucumbers, carrots, squash, eggplant and corn on the cob. Dildos used for anal play should have a flared base to avoid any complications.

Sponges

You can make a dildo using 2 sponges, rubber bands, a wooden spoon, cotton balls and duct tape. Wrap the sponges around the handle of the wooden spoon and secure them with rubber bands. Use the cotton balls to create the tip of the dildo and secure it all with duct tape. Cover your new toy with a condom or body-safe barrier before use!

Make a homemade masturbator with 2 sponges, a latex glove and an empty can of chips (like Pringles or other stackable chips for longer cans). Place the glove in between two sponges like a sandwich (the sponges are the bread), then insert them into the can. Wrap the opening of the glove around the mouth of the can, insert lube into the glove and enjoy. Pro tip: add a little warm water to the sponges for best results.

Electric Toothbrush/Razor

Make your own vibrator with an electric toothbrush or razor. Remove the bristle or razor attachment and cover the handle with a condom or body-safe barrier and voilà!

Kitchen Utensils

Make your own whip or paddle out of kitchen instruments like rubber or wooden spatulas. Get creative and turn your apron into restraints for more BDSM play!
