    Hey, thank you for your post and for being open about this - it’s actually something a lot of people think about but don’t always feel able to say out loud!

    Feeling unsure or about sex toys is common because of taboos, but there’s nothing wrong with being curious about your own body or wanting to explore what feels good for you.

    If you’d like to read a bit more, The Mix has some sexual health articles that talk about sex related info which might help you unpack some of the mental side of things:

    If talking it through with someone would help, you can also get confidential support from:
    Brook – they offer non-judgemental sexual health advice for under 25s

    Hope that helps!
