Watch: Woman says using sex toys help her manage her chronic pain
But she says sexual stimulation helps soothe the pain and she has become such an advocate of using sex toys for wellbeing that she has now launched her own range, made from clay.“When I first used them [sex toys], I was pain-free for two hours," she says. "It helps with my sleep and mental health as well.
“People are becoming more aware that [sex toys] aren't sordid things which should never be spoken about, but there’s still a taboo about them and there really shouldn’t be.” The devices were originally made from earthenware clay, before switching to stoneware for its hard-wearing and nonporous properties."Stoneware, once it’s fired, is nonporous and very, very sturdy - you can drop it on the floor and it won’t break," she says of her products.
She began selling the sex toys on her Facebook page, Dildoramic, and now makes them in custom shapes and sizes.
