Fellow Submissives~
Since I won�t be able to make the meeting on Friday to share some of the
Homemade Toys that hubby/master and I have utilized, Lyric has offered
to let me share them via email. I can be reached directly for questions
or comments.
Hope you enjoy!

NOTE: This is NOT a guide for HOW to use your toys. Only a list of
suggestions for economically minded, experienced players looking for
alternatives to the pricier gadgets.
Clamps
For those of us who are economically minded and/or challenged....fancy
Zippers and clamps can get awfully expensive! The solution?
Clothespins!
Safety Tips:
- Use only sturdy wooden clothespins; the plastic type tend to snap at
the most crucial (ie, intense) moments and can cut tender skin. They�re
usually easy to find at any Wal-Mart or Target-type of store, and you
can get literally 100s for only a few dollars.
- If you make a �Zipper,� make sure to use a reliable string (not
common sewing thread, it breaks under pressure) such as thin, but
sturdy, twine.
- If the clothespin has too much resistance -- it�s too tight -- attach
it to a cabinet door, book, or a folded up towl for a few days to
�loosen� the resistance.
Crops/Paddles
Really nice crops can be expensive! If it�s just the sensation you�re
after and not the �look,� try using a balloon stick (those plastic
sticks used for tying balloons to). You can get them at most
floral/ballon buquet shops. The most common color is �clear� but I�ve
seen them in lots of fun colors, too.
Most �professional� paddles are just modified Ping-Pong paddles anyway.
So, go to your local WalMart and pick one up. Make sure to get a nice
soft cloth or fake fur to cover the rubber surface (unless of course,
you enjoy the rubber surface!). Hot glue works nicely to get the
covering to stay in place.
Body Wraps
ONLY FOR THE EXPERIENCED PLAYER! NEVER cover the nose and or mouth!!! If
you enjoy body confinement, use Ace bandages or Saran Wrap. ALWAYS have
scissors handy, just in case! (Surgical shears are most reliable.)
For Exciting Sensations
If you enjoy feeling different textures on you bare skin, here is a list
of inexpensive toys:
- Butter/Baster brushes
- Feathers
- Skid stoppers (those new rubbery things that you use to put under
computer keyboards, etc. to stop them from sliding now come in
convenient rolls and are now sold in popular colors. You can find them
at most Wal-Marts or computer stores.)
- Lamb�s wool (a popular item for babies to sleep on -- can also be
found at pet stores to line pup�s bed.)
- Pet Brushes (NOT for the faint at heart! Use exteme caution if you
like playing with the �wire� brushes.)
- [My personal favortie ;) ] Make-up brushes. (If you can spare the
extra few dollars, go to a professional beauty supply and get the really
nice big and poofy powder brushes! The really good ones are about $20.)
Using Your Imagination at the Pet Store
The following are especially fun for those who are into �Pet Play,� but
can be fun for all.
- Long Leads
- Leashes
- Collars
- Kitty Toys (a lot of these include feathers!)
- Rubber bones or balls (make useful �Bits� and �Gags�)*
*I never suggest tying these in place unless you really know what you�re
doing. A simple �don�t drop this� command should suffice.
Just a Tip for Anal Play
ALWAYS use condoms and latex gloves for ANY anal play. If possible,
condoms made without lubrication (ie, spermicides like Nonoxynol-9)
should be used for this play, as spermicides can be very irritating to
delicate tissue -- but ONLY if you trust your partner�s health. Use a
water-based lubricant (like K-Y) instead.
In Closing...
Taking a trip to Wal-Mart, PetsMart, or any such �Mart� can prove to be
a fun and exciting shopping venture for both you and your partner. Just
make sure you use common sense along with your imagination when choosing
�toys.� Always TEST your toys in a safe and relaxed invironment BEFORE
using them during intense play.
