Sex Toy Zodiac: Cancer

It’s summer and things are heating up – which is why it’s the perfect time for Cancer season, giving us a refreshing splash of their water-based energy. Cancers are infamously emotion-driven, caring, and compassionate – when they love, they love hard. This sentimental sign is the perfect candidate for a date night in – a romantic homecooked meal, getting cozy on the loveseat together, and of course – bringing it to the bedroom.

Just because Cancers have a soft and loving demeanor doesn’t mean that they can’t break out the claws when they need to, they are represented by the crab, after all – so as much as Cancers can enjoy the pleasures of slow and sensual sex, they can definitely bring out their rough side and get playful with a delicious combination of affection and dominance.

For tender Cancer, “foreplay” can be more than just the start of the scene, but the main event! Sensual touch and taking their time to explore and discover one another’s bodies feeds right into Cancer’s inclination to be tender and thoughtful. Leaning into sensation play can be a great way to unlock that sensuality – like with the Trust Me set from Kama Sutra. This playset is a curated collection of erotic items especially focused on sensual restraint and intimate exploration. It's perfect for those wanting to add a sensual touch as well as kinky play with soft bondage cuffs, a feather tickler, kissable honey dust body powder, warming foreplay oil, lubricant, and 12 play cards to inspire new experiences. 

Whether Cancer’s night in is with a beau or solo, a beautifully contoured vibrator like the NIYA N2 can be a captivating addition to their bedside collection. With an ergonomic dip that’s great for hugging the body – from between their legs to across their shoulders – and dual sensations with a flat paddle-like side opposite one with soft ridges for added stimulation, the NIYA N2 is meant for exploration.

Of course we have to give a proper nod to the aquatic energy of this water sign with a toy that actually uses water to provide sensation. The Womanizer Wave takes the ever-trusty showerhead to the next level by designing it specifically for pleasure with three patterns – a soft Powder Rain, a delightfully vigorous Jet, and a sensual swirling Whirl – with an adjustable intensity toggle to find the right wave for you. Whether you’re cooling off in the shower from the hot summer sun, having some tender time taking care of yourself or your partner in the bath, or simply enjoying the sensation of the splash of water against bare skin, Wave will certainly make your shower even more steamy.
