Menopause is a natural part of life, with over 13million women being Peri-Menopausal or Menopausal in the UK alone. It can bring unexpected changes, especially when it comes to your sexual desire. Hot flushes, hormonal shifts, and vaginal dryness can leave many women feeling disconnected from their libido. However, there is good news! You don’t have to accept it! With the right tools and self care, you can reignite your desire and rediscover pleasure.

Why Libido Changes Happen During Menopause

As oestrogen and testosterone levels decline, it’s common to experience:

• Reduced sexual desire – Feeling less interested in sex than before.
• Vaginal dryness – Causing discomfort or pain during intimacy.
• Decreased sensitivity – Pleasure may not feel as intense.

These changes are completely normal, but they don’t mean your sex life is over, it just means that it’s time to explore new ways to enjoy intimacy

How Sex Toys Can Help!

Sex toys aren’t just fun, they can be a powerful tool to boost arousal, pleasure, and sexual confidence during perimenopause, menopause and post menopause:

·       Enhanced Sensation -Vibrators and clitoral stimulators help target pleasure zones, especially when sensitivity is lower.

·       Boost Comfort - Gentle stimulation increases blood flow and reduces discomfort from dryness.

·       Encourage Exploration - Menopause is a perfect time to try new types of stimulation, from G-spot toys to couples’ devices.

·       Build Confidence - Learning what feels good solo can improve intimacy with a partner.

Choosing the Right Toy

• Material matters: Stick to body safe, non-porous materials like silicone.
• Vibration options: Look for adjustable settings to find what feels most comfortable.
• Use lubricants: Water-based lubes reduce friction and enhance pleasure.
• Start simple: Begin with smaller toys and gradually explore more advanced options.

Embracing Pleasure in Menopause

Menopause isn’t the end of your sexual journey, it’s a new chapter. By embracing self exploration, incorporating sex toys, and focusing on what feels good, you can reconnect with your libido and enjoy intimate experiences like never before.

Your pleasure evolves with you. Give yourself permission to explore, rediscover desire, and celebrate your sexuality at every stage of life.
