What they are
Sensitivity and nerve-friendly aids are products with a wide range of adjustable stimulation so they can be matched to bodies experiencing reduced sensation, heightened sensitivity, or nerve-related changes. Some offer stronger, deeper stimulation for reduced sensation, while others provide very gentle input for heightened sensitivity.
Who they help
- People with reduced sensation from nerve changes or injury
- Those with heightened sensitivity who need gentler input
- People with neuropathy or altered nerve response
- Anyone whose sensation has changed and is finding what works now
How to use them
- 1Explore a range of intensities to learn what registers comfortably for your body.
- 2For reduced sensation, try stronger or deeper stimulation and different placement.
- 3For heightened sensitivity, start very gently and use lubrication to soften contact.
- 4Give your body time — sensation can vary day to day, so what works may change.
What to look for
- A broad intensity range rather than one fixed level
- Both broad and pinpoint stimulation options
- Comfortable, body-safe materials
- Easy adjustment so you can fine-tune in the moment
