Let’s dive into some fun and budget-friendly ways to breathe new life into your sex toys!

Smart ways to repurpose your sex toys

Whether you aim to intensify the stimulation, switch up textures, or add versatility in couple’s play, there are plenty of ways to elevate your existing sex toy collection. Let’s take a look at the top 6 ways to upgrade and repurpose your sex toys for maximum pleasure and personalisation in the bedroom.

1. Elevate your play with extra texture using penis sleeves

A basic dildo is a staple of every sex toy collection. Dongs are great all-rounders to get your engines fired up. But the rhythmic thrusting could start to feel a little stale if you use the same routine time and time again.

Adding a textured penis sleeve to your dildo, probe or vibrator could offer extra sensation with the ridges, bumps or patterns that enhance internal stimulation. The beauty of these sleeves is that they are all totally unique, offering a brand-new feeling toy at a fraction of the price.

Designed for real penises, the sleeves fit snugly over your toy, making your friend feel girthier and delivering increased friction. You can explore options from a girthier smooth silicone to an immensely studded, and buzzing sleeve to get your juices flowing.

2. Use a strap-on harness for added versatility

Pegging is an exciting trend in the world of sexual exploration and it’s something that many straight couples are also eager to try. It allows for sexual power play, role reversal, or simply adds some variety to your routine.

If you haven’t tried pegging or strap-on sex before, then it’s unlikely that you’ll have the right tools – but don’t worry, you can simply pimp your existing dildo collection. Strap-on harnesses are a fantastic way to convert your favourite suction cup dildo or suction cup vibrator into a functional toy that allows you to penetrate your partner.

When choosing a harness, focus on comfort, durability, and how securely it holds the dildo in place. Lots of strap-on harnesses will work with standard dildos, giving you the freedom to experiment with different sizes and shapes, whether you’re seeking penetration for your partner, or a double-ended design for mutual pleasure.

3. Boost sensation with amplified cock ring vibrations

Cock rings aren’t just for enhancing penis performance – love rings can also be used creatively with dildos and vibrators to deliver a more powerful experience. Slip a vibrating cock ring onto the base of a dildo to add clitoral stimulation, or intensify vibrations for double the pleasure and intense, blended orgasms. Yes, you can create your own rabbit-type playmate with existing toys!

4. Maximise the potential of your wand massagers for endless stimulation

Wand vibrators are great beginner toys to use for both partners and offer you plenty of pleasurable options. A wand massager is an amazingly versatile toy just by itself, helping to relax muscles and stimulate the clitoris or shaft with intense vibrations for fantastic foreplay.

But once you’ve earned your stripes with the standard wand, you can even repurpose it for internal stimulation with attachable G-spot massagers or prostate stimulators, allowing you to transfer those irresistible vibrations to other erogenous zones.

Wand attachments come in a variety of designs, from curved shapes for internal stimulation to textured sleeves for penis play. By investing in a few different attachments, you can expand the uses of a single toy without having to buy multiple devices.

5. Go hands-free and experiment with suction cups

If you’re looking for that realistic feeling, using your hands can ruin the illusion and make masturbation feel like a chore. The easiest solution is to attach a suction cup to your Vac-U-Lock dildo or Fleshlight stroker. This allows you to mount your sex toy on any smooth surface – the shower wall, bathroom floor, or side of the bathtub to name a few.

This releases your hands to play with other areas, to have fun with a partner or add extra balance for that new position that you’ve been dying to try. These suction cups are sturdy, reliable and simple to use, and most will attach easily to your existing sex toys.

How repurposing your toys can enhance pleasure and save cash

The beauty of customising your sex toys is that the changes are entirely up to you. There’s no limit to what you can achieve, so you can comfortably fulfil all your desires with a limited budget or with what already sits in your bedside drawer. Don’t be afraid to experiment, mix and match, or even repurpose accessories from one toy to another.

By investing in a few versatile add-ons, you can transform your collection into a dynamic set of tools that cater to your every whim and fantasy and allow you to foster a more intimate connection with your partner.

Universal tip: lube up! To increase comfort and enjoyment, it’s always a good idea to involve a good squirt of quality lube. As a rule, opt for water-based glide that’s always compatible with any toy material but if the materials allow, you can also go for a more slippery, waterproof silicone-based lube option. To learn more, check out our lube 101 guide.
