Girls Who Get Off: Real Woman, Real Pleasure

Ever had your vibe tucked in the bedside drawer, only to whisper to a friend after a few wines, “Honestly, that thing has done more for my sanity than yoga this year”?

Welcome to Girls Who Get Off - and to the girls who actually use their toys.

This is not a theory about whether women should use toys. They already do. This is about how real women are using them to feel more in their bodies, less in their heads, and a lot more satisfied in and out of the bedroom.

Who are the girls who get off?

Short answer: she is probably already in your group chat.

Longer answer: sex toys are not just for one type of woman. Think:

• The woman who finishes a 10 hour shift, locks the bathroom door and gives herself eight minutes with her favourite vibe.
  
  

• The mum who finally gets both kids to sleep and uses her toy as a fast track back to feeling like a person again, not just a snack dealer.
  
  

• The woman in a long term relationship who loves her partner and also loves the specific way her clit vibrator hits the spot every time.

Why are more women reaching for toys?

It is not just boredom or trying to “spice things up”.

Large international studies have found that more than half of women have used a vibrator, with newer samples putting that closer to four in five. Women who use vibrators often report:

• Better arousal and lubrication
  
  

• Easier, more reliable orgasms
  
  

• Less sexual pain

A review of devices for sexual health also notes that genital vibratory stimulation can support arousal, orgasm and pelvic floor function. When women say “my toy changed my sex life”, their nervous system would mostly back them up.

What kinds of toys are women actually using?

There is no one right toy. What matters is matching the toy to the mood, not to the marketing.

If you have no idea where to start, browsing a curated selection of women sex toys can be less overwhelming than scrolling an entire internet of neon plastic. Pay attention to shapes, materials and reviews from people whose bodies sound like yours.

How do you bring toys into partnered sex without it being weird?

One of the biggest myths is that toys replace a partner. In real life, most women are using toys alongside partners, not instead of them - and research suggests that using toys with a partner can increase satisfaction and reduce boredom.

A few ways to make it feel collaborative, not competitive:

• Blame the vibes, not each other. Try “Should we see what this thing can do together?” instead of “You are not doing it right.”
  
  

• Let your partner hold the toy sometimes while you guide their hand.
  
  

• Keep it playful. Give the toy a silly nickname and keep checking in.

If someone’s ego gets wobbly, remind them that you would not fire your favourite barista just because your coffee machine at home also makes great coffee.

What if you are curious but nervous?

Plenty of women sit right here - secretly intrigued, publicly joking “I would die if someone found it in my drawer”.

You can start as gently as you like:

1. Get curious on your own first, without an audience.
   
   

2. Choose soft, body safe materials like silicone.
   
   

3. Use lube like it is a love language.
   
   

4. Start with low settings and build up slowly.

You do not have to like every toy you meet. Learning “nope, not my thing” is still useful information.

Girls who get off, get off the shame train

At the heart of Girls Get Off is a simple belief: you are not “too much” for wanting strong orgasms, and you are not “broken” if your body needs toys to get there.

Girls who get off know that:

• You do not have to look or sound like porn to deserve pleasure.
  
  

• You do not need a partner’s permission to explore your own body.
  
  

• You are allowed to want more from sex than “I guess that was fine.”

Real women, real pleasure is not a slogan - it is your life when you decide that your orgasm is worth a drawer, a toy, a bit of effort and a lot less shame.
