Self-care has become a bit of a buzzword on the internet these days. Most of us interpret it as setting aside time for skincare, meditation, journaling, or simply unwinding after a long day. But there’s one product that’s gaining a lot of popularity online these days, that you may never have considered using for self care— sex toys.
It’s one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. But if you’re still on the fence about adding this one game-changing tool to your self-care lineup, I get it. You might be thinking, “Is that really for me?” or “What’s the point?”. Well, I’ve been there too. The truth is, self-care means literally to take care of yourself. And this simple addition is one of the most powerful and feel-good ways to care for yourself— both mentally and physically.
If you’re curious but not convinced, here are 3 reasons why a “personal massager” might just be the missing piece in your self-care toolkit.
1. They’re the Ultimate Stress-Relief Tool
Stress has a way of building up, and finding ways to release it can feel like a never-ending challenge. That’s where sex toys come in. Think of them as an instant way to relax—just like a long bath or a favorite book. When you use a toy, your body releases a surge of feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, which naturally lower your stress levels and help you unwind. It’s not just about pleasure; it’s about taking care of yourself in a way that truly helps you let go of tension.
2. They Help You Sleep Better
If better sleep isn’t at the top of your self-care list, it should be! And if you’ve been trying all the usual methods—like herbal teas or meditation—and still can’t seem to calm your mind, sex toys might be the answer. The post-orgasm calm that comes from using a toy can help you drift off faster and sleep more soundly. It’s a natural, no-fuss way to signal to your body that it’s time to rest.
3. They Empower You to Know & Connect to Yourself
Self-care is all about tuning in to what you need, and sex toys can help you do exactly that. By exploring your own body, you gain a deeper understanding of what makes you feel good and what your body needs. This isn’t about anything wild or extreme—it’s about being in control, feeling confident, and knowing yourself better. And the more you understand your body, the more empowered you’ll feel, both in and out of the bedroom.

Ready to take the plunge?
If you’re still feeling a little unsure, I totally understand. It can take time to get comfortable with the idea of using a sex toy. But trust me, ever since I did, there’s been no looking back.

Remember: Sex toys are just another tool to help you feel more relaxed, confident, and in tune with yourself. Whether it’s for stress relief, better sleep, or just some much-needed you time, they’re waiting to upgrade your self-care routine, and give you pleasure that you should never feel guilty about. You deserve to feel good in every way!
