Why toy cleaner?

Why not soap and water? Why not the dishwasher? Why not boil it? Why not bleach it? Why not?

Any of those things might be appropriate at different times, but for simplicity, you just can't beat toy cleaner: spray and wipe, spray and rinse. What else could be easier. Some of them are even safe to spray or wipe directly onto the body.

Sara's Secret and Condoms to Go always carry a variety of toy cleaners and our associates will always have answers to your questions about them, but here are some basics:

Ladies, do you wish you could feel like you were 19 again? Do you sometimes feel like you can't hold onto your man's manhood as tightly as you used to? We all go through changes as we age and experience new things. Feeling insecure about how tight (or not tight) we are doesn't do us any favors when it comes to bedroom confidence.

Maybe you've gotten used to a bigger man and suddenly you find you've got a smaller one. Maybe you've had a couple of kids. Maybe just the simple fact of getting older has taken away some of your confidence. Whatever the case, I'm here to tell you it is totally possible to live the teenage dream of tightness no matter your age!

March is National Nutrition Month in the USA. It's also the month when most of our healthier New Year's resolutions go to die. Which makes it extra important to get out there and do something healthy. Or stay in and do something healthy. Or stay in and do something healthy AND naughty.

So instead of letting those New Year's resolutions get swept out with the spring cleaning, what are you going to do to celebrate National Nutrition Month? Are you going to sit on the sofa and wish you were 15 pounds lighter? Or are you going get it on with your partner a few times a week and actually be 15 pounds lighter by April fool's day? Who'll be laughing then?

All kinds of studies say you can burn anywhere between 200-1,000 calories during sex that lasts at least 20 minutes...

I wasn't a fan, not really.

I knew "Creep" and I think I saw the "Paranoid Android" video a million times on MTV summer 1997 (dismembered cartoons, gay bikers, psycho bird, aliens maybe? Ring any bells?). By the time KidA came out in 2000, I not only didn't get it, I didn't care. It didn't mean anything to me. I didn't even try Amnesiac when it came out a year later. Months went by before I ever heard it.

Then I found myself having spectacular, cerebral sex and Radiohead was the soundtrack.

Just in time for Valentine's Day!

Check Out Our Top 10:

Who is Jopen? Why are they so vain? We don't know. We don't care: we're just love their Vanity! Finally a line of seriously powerful waterproof rechargeable toys that are more versatile than a simple bullet (I love you Jimmyjane Form 2, but the thing you do great is kind of the only thing you do).

A shockingly hot purple smooth silicone that sears its way into your mind Jopen's Vanity line almost seems to darken its eyes at you - you know that moment when the light dims across everything but the gangster moll's eyes in the classic movies right before she seduces the foolish fall guy? That sounds crazy, but trust me, when you get your hands around one of these 12 scorching little numbers, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Water-based, silicone, or hybrid? Oil-based? Nothing? What's right for you? What's the difference?

There are almost as many types and brands of lubes as there are of condoms (all condoms can be used with extra lube, but all lube is NOT condom compatible. Let's rundown some brands and types and then talk about uses:

System JO, Pjur (pronounced like "pure as the driven snow"), Sliquid, Swiss Navy, ID, Wet, Pink, Gun Oil, Elbow Grease, Encounter, KY and Astroglide are all available at Sara's Secret and Condoms to Go. All of these brands have water-based and silicone lubes. Some of them have hybrids. Some of them oil-based.

"I never knew there were so many different condoms" or "That's a LOT of condoms" or "You MUST have every kind of condom.

These are the first things we hear from new customers at Condoms to Go and Sara's Secret. If you're used to shopping at a pharmacy or grocery store and picking up a box of Trojan there, then you probably aren't aware of the variety of condom shapes, sizes, textures, colors and flavors. And you're not alone.

Trojan is the best-selling condom (including "Magnum", "Supra", and "NaturaLamb"), but Durex and LifeStyles are up there, too. One condoms (with a portion of proceeds benefiting LIFEbeat: the Music Industry Fights AIDS), Crown, Kimono, Beyond Seven, Trustex, Sensis, and even Playgirl and Christian Audigier (Ed Hardy) are all brands of condoms you can find at Condoms to Go and Sara's Secret
