Being spontaneous and creative can turn casual fun between the sheets into great fun between the sheets. If you want to spice things up in the bedroom, using ‘toys’ could be a great way to do it. However, if you don’t want to spend a bunch of money on new toys, or if it’s a spur of the moment decision and you don’t have the time to run to the nearest shop, there are numerous household objects that will do the trick.

1902 was an important year for the development of the “bedroom toys” industry. It was the year when the first vibrator was patented by Hamilton Beach. From that moment on, and especially in the last couple of decades, the industry of ‘toys’ really exploded. Millions of different toys in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials are used both by men and women around the globe. However, if you don’t own any toys, you have plenty other options right under your nose. A little bit of imagination and creativity is all it takes.

Here is the list of 15 everyday things that are secretly used as bedroom toys. You’ll probably never look at some of these items the same, which might actually be a good thing.

15. A Banana

When you talk about everyday things being used as bedroom toys, the first thing that will come to mind for most people is a banana. It has the right shape and size to be used as you-know-what. Another good thing about it is its slightly curved shape which is useful for massaging. Just put a condom on it and you’re ready to go.

Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect choice because it can be quite soft and it could fall apart during the act (obviously depending on how you use it). You probably don’t want that kind of mushy mess, but a condom will help with that quite a lot. So if you have nothing else on hand, a banana is one way to go.

14. An Electric Toothbrush

A buzzy toothbrush can be a great alternative for an expensive massager. Try holding the base of the toothbrush against you and that should do the trick. The best way to do this is by removing the bristle extension because you don’t want those moving bristles anywhere that might feel uncomfortable.

Another great thing about this little household item is that it’s chargeable so you won’t have to spend any extra money on batteries like you would with most of the s*x toys out there. Just plug your charger in and you’ll have your new “vibrator” ready whenever you need it. Also, if someone sees it just lying around at your place, there won’t be anything too suspicious about it since it’s just a toothbrush. Or is it?

13. Lotion/ Baby Oil/ Olive Oil/ Vaseline

There are a million different kinds of lubricants on the market; water based, silicone based, flavored, with pheromones, stimulating, etc. You name it, they’ve got it. But if you don’t own any lubricant products, don’t worry. There are many different things in your household with which you could achieve exactly the same effect . Different lotions, Vaseline, baby oil, olive oil, massaging oil, hair conditioner and so on… Those are just some of the things that people use to make things go more smoothly. Try using different things or a combination of more than one and you’ll probably find your new favorite lubricant somewhere in your home. However, keep in mind that water is not one of those things and it might actually dry things up even more.

12. A Feather Duster

A feather duster (a new and clean one, of course) can be a great addition to your bedroom because playing with it can be equally enjoyable for both partners. Try teasing your partner with it by using gentle and light strokes all over his or her body. Focus on the parts they seem to enjoy the most and keep the touch as light as possible in order to help your partner focus on the sensation. In addition to that, you can try covering your partner’s eyes before you start so he/she won’t know what you’re actually doing, which will make the excitement and the tension even greater. Take it easy and watch your partner enjoy. However, try not to treat it too much like tickling in order to keep things sensual.

11. A Spatula

BDSM has always been a thing, but after 50 Shades of Grey, everybody seems to have a new found interest in experimenting with it at least a little bit. If you’re a beginner to this fetish, you don’t immediately need a Cat o’ Nine Tails or a pro leather riding crop. Keep things simple. Find a spatula in your kitchen and try using it for more than flipping eggs or pancakes. If you’re completely new to spanking, try using the soft, rubber kind, such as those used for cake batter. If your partner really likes it more intense, you can try using other kinds of spatulas. You’ll find them in all shapes and sizes, so just pick your favorite and play with it. Maybe use it the next morning to prepare a breakfast for your partner too.

10. A Belt

If you’re into the “B” part of BDSM, you’ll have many different options to choose from that can be found in your house. And while scarfs and ties are great, they are not ideal for beginners because they require at least some kind of basic knot-tying experience. Belts, on the other hand, are super easy to use. Just wrap it around your partner’s hands or legs and you’re good to go. You could also try tying your partner to the bed with it.

Not only can belts be used for bondage, they can also be great for spanking. Just remember to keep things light and gentle because it could get too rough otherwise and possibly spoil the experience. Just make sure that you and your partner are both on the same page.

9. A Phone

A phone can effectively be turned into a vibrator and more people than you would think already know this trick. In fact, there have been a variety of apps created to serve this purpose. Basically, all you need to do is to download an app and turn your phone into a slightly different kind of toy. The app is a good thing because it lets you adjust the intensity and the duration of the vibration so you’ll be able to set it up as you see fit.

If you don’t want to have any suspicious applications installed on your phone (in case somebody decides to snoop around), you can always use the vibration feature that every phone already has. Find a way to turn the vibration on your phone on and enjoy.

8. Beaded Necklace

A beaded necklace can be used in a couple of different ways. Rolling the beads across your partner’s body could be an interesting way of teasing him or her, especially if you include some temperature play. For example, you could put the necklace in the fridge or you could cool it down with some cold water right before you use it as a sex toy. It will intensify the feeling dramatically, making the play even more exciting.

Another way of using a beaded necklace is by gently stroking your partner’s sensitive parts with it. You should use it in combination with some kind of a lubricant (either a bought one or one from the previously mentioned everyday options).

7. A Scrunchie

There are thousands of different types of ‘rings’ you can buy in s*x shops. A scrunchie could be your own version. Almost every girl has one and it will make for an interesting asset in the bedroom.

P*nis rings are basically used for producing a stronger erection and maintaining it for a longer time by restricting blood flow. They are worn around the member, most commonly at the base. Sometimes, they are used in cases of erectile dysfunction and they have proven useful. Not only can they help with the erection, they can help men achieve stronger org*sms simply because they like the way the ring feels. A scrunchie will work exactly in the same way as store-bought rings.

6. Shower Head

Using the shower head as a m*sturbation tool has been discovered by millions of women around the world. By letting the water massage your external V, you’ll achieve an org*sm in no time, especially if you have one of those shower heads with adjustable settings. If you can adjust the water pressure on your shower head, you will be able to find the right kind of pressure that will get you off every time.

However, try to keep things external. Spraying the water directly inside could wash away healthy bacteria, which would be really bad for v*ginal health. Simply avoid sending the shower stream that way and everything should be okay. Actually, it will be more than okay! If you know what we mean…

5. Neck Massager

If you’ve watched HBO’s Sex and the City, you probably know all about this one particular everyday thing that is often used as a bedroom toy. The girls in the series actually wondered if there was a single woman in the world that had bought a neck massager in order to actually massage her neck. It seems that the “neck massager” is just another name for the vibrator.

So why is it so popular with the ladies? Well, for starters, using the vibrations for achieving the big O is the oldest trick in the book. Neck massagers are great for that because they usually have adjustable settings just like regular vibrators. You can adjust the intensity of the “massage”, which will help you achieve super intense Os. Even the world’s most popular Hitachi vibrator was originally made to be a back massager.

4. Washing Machine

Hitting the big “O” while doing laundry. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Just turn on the spin cycle on your washing machine, sit on top of it, and there you have it! It’s simple and it looks completely innocent if someone walks in on you. Also, the washing machine is quite loud so it will mask any of the sounds you might possibly make. It’s perfect if you want to be discreet.

The washing machine is not just a good option for solo play. Couples will enjoy it as well. Try to “do it” on top of your turned-on machine. You could also throw a pair of sneakers in for even rougher tumbling. You will feel those sneakers bouncing around and it will intensify the feeling even more. Doing laundry has never been so much fun!

3. A Beer Bottle

A beer bottle can be used for female mast*rbation in a couple of different ways. The first and the most obvious way is insertion. Simply put a condom on the neck of the bottle and see how it feels.

The less obvious way of using a bottle is creating suction on the external part of the V. It could somewhat resemble the feeling of foreplay. It’s not the perfect resemblance, but it will get the job done. Plastic bottles will actually be better for this than the glass ones, simply because they’re softer and it will be easier to create the suction effect with them. Just try not to suck too hard because you might hurt yourself. If it feels good, you’re probably doing it right.

2. Immersion Blender

First and foremost – REMOVE THE BLADES! It probably goes without saying, but one can never be too careful when there is a personal safety in question. Once you’ve removed the blades, put a condom on the top part of the blender and you are ready to take it for a spin.

An Immersion Blender is a great alternative for a vibrator because it has much better vibration than most household items. However, it is not all that practical because you’ll have to plug it in, which makes it not so portable and you will be able to use it only in certain places. It is also inconveniently large. But if you don’t mind that, you’ll probably enjoy using it since the feeling will be pretty intense and so will the big “O”.

1. A Candle

This is yet another classic. Many people use candles during the deed. There are also special candles available in the s*x shops that people use so they can play with the hot, melted wax. Temperature play is something many people enjoy and while it is easy to find things for the “cold play,” ice cubes for example, it is difficult to find something hot, yet safe to use. This is where candles come in handy. Just light them and drip the hot wax on your partner’s body. Hold it at a safe distance in order to give the wax time to cool down a little bit while dripping.

Besides the hot wax play, candles can be used for solo play too. We probably don’t need to tell you how to use it…
