The step. Do not start here.

Sliquid Sassy

Too new to rate$13.99

Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.

Ships discreetly from SheVibe

Thick gel. No numbing. The how-to bottle. A dry plug night is how people quit.

Cons

  • Too thick for some vaginal nights. That's why H2O exists
  • Still water-based. It can dry if you wait too long

Why it ranks: How-to-training without Sassy is the usual fail.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Lube the toy and yourself, breathe out as it goes in, and go slow. Thick water-based lube is your best friend. Alone, wear it for a while before you even start touching yourself. Anticipation does a lot.

If you're shopping, start with Sliquid Sassy. It's thick and cushiony, so it stays put where you need it most. Great for anal, great for long nights.

b-Vibe Snug Plug 1. It sits snug and heavy, so every move you make nudges it just a little. Solo, slip it in and use your favorite vibe on the front. The combination is ridiculous.
