Sex On A Budget: Cheap Handheld Massagers Multitasking!
Are you suffering from stress?
Need to relax and unwind?
Let a simple back massager go to work for you and help you work out the kinks in your back and your bed!
Okay, so I know it sounds kind of ridiculous, but a back massager works much in the same way that a clit or handy massager would. In fact, they hold basically the same functions with differing modes of vibration to help stimulate muscles. The only difference is they are designed to stimulate different muscle groups.
And, yes, your nether regions are made up of muscles!
So, my proposal is if you happen to already have a back massager or plan to purchase one to relieve some stress or back pain, why not put the massager on double shifts to help please you in the bedroom and on your back? After all, the prices for both types of massagers are usually similar in range and should work equally well.
The only thing you should consider is that #1: if you don’t have back pain, why bother with a back massager at all? If that’s the case, you may as well buy a normal vibrator. And, #2: it’s inadvisable to insert back massagers vaginally. Although it may not cause much if any harm to you, they aren’t made to be inserted anywhere and thus shouldn’t be. Therefore, stimulation in an erotic way with a back massager is kind of limited, but you will definitely be saving money if you intend to implement the massager for both your bodily massage needs and your erotic massage needs!
All in all, if you don’t have too much bodily pain or soreness, you may as well invest in a normal vibrator. We have plenty of decently priced vibrators on Romance Attack to choose from. If you do need a back massager for pains or stress relief, then this idea could be something to consider, especially if you already own one. If in the end, you prefer to keep your back relief and sexual frustration relief duties separated, simply take a look around our shop and pick out an affordable vibrator. We have plenty of affordable options to choose from.
Three Cheers for Saving Money!
Good Luck!
Sex On A Budget: DIY Natural Lubricant & Massage Oil
Lubricants can be somewhat costly to a person on a strict budget and you may not always have the cash needed to put down to get your favorite brand, but there is a convenient substitute that you might find more affordable in the meantime.
Natural carrier oils may be used as natural lubricants and massage oils as long as they are purely made. There are organic versions abound online and they are pretty affordable. Although they lack the smart formulation, enticing fragrances, and other special effects of brand lubricants, they are still a natural and usually safe option as natural lubricants. Although most carrier oils are safe for use as is, be sure to do your own research on how safe various carrier oils are before deciding to use them. You may also decide to add in your own essential oils for special stimulating effects, but be sure to do your own research beforehand if you are unsure how much to use as essential oils can be very strong in concentration and can irritate skin if not diluted in the oil enough. One might also consider utilizing natural butters for use as a masturbation cream such as shea butter or kokum butter. These are safe for use on skin as is.
Some Great Carrier Oils and Natural Butters Are:
- Almond Oil
- Carrot Seed Oil
- Grapeseed Oil
- Shea Butter
- Kokum Butter
Essential Oils for Stimulating Effects:
- Spearmint EO (Cooling)
- Cinnamon EO (Stimulating/Warming)
Although making your own lubricant or massage oil can be more work, it is easily tailored to your qualifications this way. It may not have the same smooth consistency or pleasant scent of a store bought lubricant or massage oil, but it is a nice alternative if that is not an option for you. If you absolutely prefer to purchase these items, then do so. It is important that you feel comfortable with what goes on your body so you can enjoy yourself fully.
Check out our selection of massage oils and lubricants for some great deals on all varieties including organic and stimulating varieties.
Good Luck!
Sex on a Budget: Bosu & Swiss Balls Makeshift Sex Position Aids?
Most people know of Swiss and BOSU® Balls as exercise aids. They are commonly used to facilitate a variety of exercises including abdominal crunches, push-ups, and more.
But, what about sex position aids?
Think about it.
A lot of sex position aids out there are in similar shapes and used simply as a way to facilitate sex positions in ways that cannot be done by yourself alone. Both aids are used in very similar ways with a few obvious exceptions. So, that being said, couldn’t you utilize a Swiss or BOSU® Ball in the same way that you would a sex position aid?
The Benefits.
After all, think about all the money you’ll save. Depending on what kind of spender you are, you can save anywhere from $30-$200 if you double your Swiss or BOSU® Ball as both an exercise and sex position aid. The Swiss Ball can be utilized for mostly fun positions and less anatomically compromising ones (meaning no difficult or advanced positions!) due to the instability of the ball. The BOSU® Ball can be utilized as a simple position aid, especially if you put a blanket over it to make the surface softer. And, of course, you now have a position aid and an exercise aid that you can use for both getting in shape and getting off. I love multitasking!
The Drawbacks.
Drawbacks to using the exercise balls as sex position aids are that the exercise aids really are not that sexually or sensually appealing. Their surfaces are, unfortunately, plastic and not made for comfort so they would need to be covered in a sheet or blanket or you can simply endure. They lack a certain level of stability which means if you have bad coordination or balance, you might end up hurting yourself. Deciding whether or not to use one is really to your discretion. Be ready to judge your fitness level and see if you are up to par with the challenges this would pose. Lastly, sex position aids are more aesthetically pleasing than are exercise aids. If you’re trying to set the mood, it might be difficult.
The Bottom Line.
If you are really strapped for cash, this could be a good idea for you, especially if you already own one of these exercise aids. If not, depending on your fitness level and which you would use more (sex aid or exercise aid), you may want to simply invest in one or the other. All in all, if you do have one or wish to get in shape while you get off, this might work for you and will definitely save you lots of cash. Remember to consult your primary care physician if you are unsure about your fitness level, health, etc. before attempting anything.
Good Luck!
