Does your vagina tense up with certain toys or temperatures?

Contributor: sarahbear sarahbear
I have a problem...

I think the temperature of my toys is causing me a lot of pain. I say this because I can use my toys in the tub or shower just fine, when the water has kind of heated them up a bit. But when I try to use them during sex or to masturbate outside of the shower it's like I'm shoving a brick of ice into my vagina. It's very painful. Like it tightens or shrinks. I've tried letting the toy sit for a bit to warm up to my body temperature, but it is pretty much an instant turn off and I can't even have sex without pain for about a half an hour. It's strange because I sometimes enjoy it if my husband eats ice before or during oral sex. It's just when the toys are inserted. Even if the toys are warmed up before I use them, they lose the comfortable temperature for me fairly quickly.

So, does anyone have any tips, tricks or solutions? Anyone else have similar a similar experience?

Aluminum. Get an aluminum toy. Aluminum holds temperature better than any other material I've used... it actually gets hot.

What types of material have you used so far that are causing this?

Place them in a bowl of warm water (if they are water proof), or you could warm the lube up as well. You could set the lube in a bowl of hot water... microwaving seems like a bad idea here.

I just did this last night... wrap it up in an electric blanket (or a heating pad would make more sense, but my blanket was on at the time) if it's not waterproof.

I am not surprised you have discomfort with cold toys. I've had ice cubes inserted into my vagina and it's a much different, much more painful experience than external ice play. And it will cause your vagina to contract, increasing the amount of discomfort you feel.

I like Gary's idea of warming up some lube because then if the toy cools down for you, you can add more warm lube without having to quit playing.

I totally agree with the advice here to warm up your toys and lube safely. Just cold lube itself can kinda ruin the mood - everyone is sensitive in different ways. Your body just doesn't like cold.

I never thought to warm up lube. That sounds pretty nice!

So far, it's silicone (the Ella) and plastic (Delilah and Marble Slimline G). I did use to get slight discomfort from a jelly vibe, but since jelly is squishy it wasn't so bad.

Thanks everyone else for the tips. I shall be trying them soon. =)

Maybe try for something slim and soft. This fits the bill in my book link or anything by fun factory. I think their silicone toys are softer and more flexible. Especially more flexible than the Ella.
