Join this webinar with Dr Caroline West to talk all things dildos, vibrators and butt plugs. Sex toys can be a fantastic addition to many peoples intimate lives, but how do we know which ones to get or how to use them? What happens if you have a disability and want to use toys? This workshop gives a rundown of how to pick the right toy for you (and for a partner.) The concepts of body safe toys and lube will also be explained, as some of the ingredients in your favourite toys can give you some nasty infections. Which, let's face it, is not the result you want when using toys!?
All workshops are sex positive, inclusive of all genders and sexuality, and you will not be require to share any personal information. Participants can also win sexual wellness products and eco-friendly menstruation items.
Please note, this session will NOT be recorded.
