Once you get the hang of it, the lemon massager is easy to use, but it does take some practice. Unlike regular vibrators, its suction cup is smaller and more precise, so it may take a little practice to find the right spot for stimulation.
Below, we’ll walk you through how to use the Lemon toy step by step, so you can easily… well, reach orgasm! If you’re new to solo play, you might want to check out our guide to female masturbation first to get some practice.
Getting Familiar with the Buttons
Of course, no one likes reading instruction manuals. But taking a few minutes to figure out what the buttons do can help you avoid those distracting “Wait, how do I use this?” moments during setup. To avoid these awkward situations, we always need different ways to learn about the buttons.
The Nancy-lem Lemon Blossom toy features just one extremely simple core LED button that cycles through ten suction modes with a single press. To better gauge the intensity, we recommend testing it on the palm of your hand first before moving on to more sensitive areas.
Please make sure your toy is fully charged.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can theoretically use your new toy right away—just be sure to clean the suction tip that comes into direct contact with your body before use. New toys usually come with about half a charge remaining, so you can enjoy some fun right away. However, to avoid any disappointing interruptions, it’s best to fully charge it first.
Before you begin, apply some water-based lubricant compatible with sex toys to the suction nozzle (you can never go wrong with using lubricant during any kind of sex). Lubricant provides glide and helps prevent painful friction—which is definitely not what you want when you’re trying to reach orgasm.
Press the center of the suction cup against your clitoris
The head of the clitoral suction cup is designed to fit snugly around the clitoris. If needed, you can part your labia and move the suction cup head to find the right spot on your clitoris for stimulation (trust yourself—you’ll know when you find it). You can also use a mirror to adjust the position—and consider placing the mirror nearby so you can see what’s happening.
Some people have a deep clitoral hood; if this applies to you, you can pull it back for direct stimulation. Too sensitive? Then leave it as is and protect yourself!
If the sensation on your clitoris is too intense, try moving the toy’s position or sliding it up and down. There are plenty of nerve endings around the clitoris, so you don’t have to place the toy directly on top of it to experience enough pleasure. You can also try playing while wearing underwear, which creates a physical barrier between your sensitive clitoris and the toy.
Start at a Low Intensity
Many people find that lemon-shaped toys are quite powerful, so it’s best to start at the lowest setting and gradually increase the intensity to let your body adjust. Practice makes perfect, right? You can also try edging by increasing and decreasing the intensity—that is, bringing yourself to the brink of orgasm and then easing off. This can be incredibly arousing and lead to even more intense pleasure when you finally climax.
Try Applying It to Your Nipples
This lemon-shaped sex toy is perfect for stimulating the clitoris, but you can also try using it on other sensitive areas, such as the inner thighs, the perineum (the sensitive skin between the anus and genitals), or the nipples. You can slowly glide the toy along your inner thighs (using lube makes it glide more smoothly), or place the suction cup tip on your nipples. This increases blood flow to the nipples, making them more sensitive to touch.
Use it alone or with a partner
You don’t have to use this lemon-shaped toy by yourself. It’s compact and easy to hold, which means it’s perfect for use with a partner during sexual positions like woman-on-top or doggy style. Try masturbating with one hand while your partner has sex with you. Two people with vaginas can play together at the same time (one person holds the toy while the other presses their clitoris against the suction cup… it feels incredibly intimate and sexy). You can also try some sensory play, such as having your partner blindfold you and then place the lemon toy on different parts of your body to see which feels best.
Keep Your Lemon Toys Clean
Wash your lemon toys after each use to keep them hygienic and ready for your next use. This helps extend the toy’s lifespan and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.
• The simplest way to clean your toy is to use wipes specifically designed for sex toys. They’re perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Alternatively, you can use a sex toy cleaner, such as Inyarose Fresh Toy Cleaner. Simply spray it on the toy, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth.
• If you don’t have a sex toy cleaner, you can wash the toy with mild soap and warm water. Waterproof toys like the Nancy Lemon toy can be fully submerged in water.
• After washing, lay the toy flat on a clean towel and let it air dry completely. Once dry, store it in a dedicated sex toy bag or box to prevent damage to the silicone material.
