7 arthritis-friendly toys if you have joint pain in your hands
As joints start to ache, and bodies start to change, your fingers might not be able to get the job done as they once did.
Arthritis refers to 100+ different conditions that affect the joints and connective tissues, causing pain and stiffness. It can affect people of all ages (that’s right, it’s not just seniors!) and any part of the body, a common spot being the hands and fingers. This can make self-pleasure difficult, but we’re here to help guide you through it because everyone deserves access to pleasure!
Vibrators are a girl’s best friend. For my arthritic girlies, they can help stimulate blood flow and reduce the manual effort which allows for increased pleasure without the hassle. That said, not all vibes are ideal for those with arthritis…
For those suffering from hand-arthritis, here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing your next vibe:
- Small buttons and arthritis don't mix: Avoid toys with small, hard to press buttons
- Avoid hand-held vibrating devices: Vibration can numb your hand and worsen symptoms of arthritis. Look for something with a remote to give your hand a break
- Easy controls: Look for toys with easy to press buttons or switches
- Get a good grip: Go for a vibe with a larger handle (or that is completely hands free) to avoid the discomfort of gripping a small object.
Here are 6 arthritis-friendly sex toys for you to try:
1. AirVibe Pro
If you love (or have wanted to love) the AirVibe, this one’s for you! This dual stimulation clit-suction and g-spot vibe is new and improved in a few of its key features, but best of all is the addition of a remote! This allows for hands-free play so you don’t have to grip a small, vibrating toy; and the raised buttons are easier to press than the controls built into the toy itself.
3. Tush
If you’re a connoisseur or a newbie to the world of anal toys, consider adding this vibrating anal plug to the mix. With a comfortable grip, this toy is easy to hold and maneuver. Like the AirVibe Pro, it also includes a remote for easy use of controls and hands free play.
4. Nirvana
It’s a crowd favorite, everyone loves a good wand! Nirvana is a great wand option for those with any form of hand pain or stiffness. It has a large handle which is easy to hold without exacerbating arthritis symptoms.
6. Satisfyer Pro 2
Satisfyer Pro 2 is a great option for those with arthritis! It has a large handle that’s easy to grip, and easy to use switch control instead of buttons, and a concentrated suction tip that results in minimal vibrations through the handle. This vibe truly has it all for Arthritic users!
6. Luvli Ditto 2
The Luvli Ditto 2 is a wearable couples toy, designed to enhance pleasure for both partners. Like the AirVibe Pro and Tush, this toy has a remote control with easy press buttons. The remote also allows for easy mid-play vibration changes – struggle and interruption-free!
5. Bellesa Luxe Dildos
While there are vibrating options for the arthritic girlies, the best toys are hands-free AND non-motorized. The Bellesa Luxe Dildos come in a range of sizes including 5”, 6”, and 7”.
