Self-care isn’t always about massages, hot salt, or bubble bath. It’s not also just about getting in shape, dressing up, or having time out with the important people in your life. Sometimes, self-care means having ample rest and indulging in different forms of relaxation. For instance (and in my own opinion), playing with yourself — also known as masturbation — is also a form of relaxation.

We tend to ignore the mental health benefits masturbation provides, and how it’s a great tool for de-stressing. It releases dopamine, a feel-good chemical relating to pleasure, which puts us in a good mood. In addition, it helps us sleep better, feel better about ourselves, and of course, reduce stress.

This is the reason why we’ve crafted a list of gadgets to help you achieve maximum pleasure. Here they are:

Rose Gold Crave Vesper Necklace – US$ 79

For the bold type, Crave’s Vesper Necklace is both an elegant jewelry and a strong, slim vibrator. Its body, tip, and chain is made of high polish stainless steel designed to make a statement. This vibrator has four speeds and two modes — pulsing and constant — which guarantees a beautiful experience without making a sound. If rose gold isn’t your thing, there are two other finishes: Silver and 24k gold.

Lelo Mia 2 – US$ 85

This unassuming device which looks like a lipstick is actually a massager. Made with discretion and secrecy in mind, the Lelo Mia 2 allows you to indulge in your desires without attracting so much attention. It looks perfect in your purse or bedside drawer, allowing you to be discreet in your quest to achieve pleasure. Its sculpted tip targets clitoris for fast and intense climaxes.

Tango by We-Vibe – US$ 90

Bigger isn’t always better. Tango by We-Vibe is a pocket-sized, powerful vibrator that you can bring wherever you go. Its slanted tip delivers intense, quiet, and precise vibrations while the flat edge provides massage. It’s waterproof and has eight vibration modes for you to choose from, so you can get your pleasure discreetly, anywhere.

Hot Octopuss Queen Bee – US$ 119

It’s high time you feel like a queen! Hot Octopuss’ Queen Bee is a clitoral stimulator, offering two surfaces to match your mood — you can choose between gentle or intense. It utilizes their patented PulsePlate technology which uses powerful oscillations to provide a different kind of pleasure. This toy is also waterproof so you can do you while in the bath tub or shower.

Le Wand Petite Rechargeable Massager, Rose Gold – US$ 135

Looks like a mic more than a wand, Le Wand’s Petite Rechargeable Massager features a body-safe silicone head, a flexible neck, and a handle packed with easy-to-use controls. Even though it’s small and travel-friendly, it packs so much power, featuring 10 ultra-powerful vibration intensities with six vibration patterns to choose from. It comes with a convenient travel case and a travel-lock, so you can bring this wellness device wherever you go.

Womanizer Pro – US$ 199

Fancy having a luxurious toy? Womanizer Pro makes you lust with its sparkling Swarovski elements. Utilizing their unique Pleasure Air Technology, you can indulge in touch-less stimulation — a powerful combination of suction and pressure waves — which brings a completely new orgasmic experience. Additionally, you can control how fast you want it to be through its 12 levels of intensity. Did I also mention it’s waterproof and has a silent mode?

Let’s be sex positive, everyone! Playing with yourself is a normal, human thing to do and unlike the myths being spread out when we were younger, no you won’t get blind from doing it. Now go and get lost in the deep end, and paddle your pink canoe. You do you, girl!
